Wilson, Provincial Constable, Community Services Officer with the Goderich O.P.P. detachment, says it has come to the at- tention of the ' Goderich O.P.P. Force that old dynamite or blasting caps lie around homes, garages, farms, gravel pits or other areas once used. The potential danger of these items is great, says Wilson. Persons not knowing what dynamite or blasting caps are, particularly children, could be playing with an item which would surely kill or maim them. One should never un- derestimate the explosive ability of dynamite , or blasting caps no matter if the material is old or wet or decaying, says Wilson. Accidents, he says, have occurred through . ignorance of the capabilities of these items. So, play it safe. Report any knowledge of these dangerous items to your nearest O.P.P. detachment. They have a bomb squad prepared to remove explosive devices on your request.

Keller had a visitor Tuesday. Otwell Todd, now 87, brought Mrs, Keller some notes from • his father's scrapbook. Otwell Todd's father was Morton Adam Todd, formerly a half -owner of the Goderich Star with Joiries Mitchell. M.A. Todd kept a letter in • his scrap book from the McGillicuddy Brothers, owners of Thea Huron Signal: • Todd had apparently applied to The Huron Signal for a job and this reply was for- thcoming, "We can offer you steady employment at $7 a week. Let us know by return of mail, as we cannot keep the position vacant long." Also, M.A. Todd's scrap- book revealed that when Todd and W.T. Whitely purchased The . Clinton News -Record, they paid $250 cash "for it. They were prepared to go as high as $275 the book showed. Otwell Todd now lives\at Maple Wood Apartments for senior citizens just outside Zurich. He learned his printer's trade in Goderich at The Star, and lived in Goderich from 1896 through 1911. He went to Toronto where -be became superin- tendent of Eaton's printing shop in charge of catalogue production. His father, a captain in the 33rd Huron Regiment, drowned in 1914. The family was residing near Toronto at the time. But Otwell Todd has many pleasant memories of Goderich, and is a regular reader of The Goderich Signal -Star. The editor was especially pleased to see the old gen- tleman, because they were neighbors in the village of Dashwood where they both lived 10 years ago.' +++ '... —— —— — iii '1i ✓—----- r o BAH#A'I aBeware of prejudice; Tight Is good in what- saever lamp it is burning.
