R. W. 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. Your police
force can serve you better
with the help of information
given freely by you:

Signal -Star Editor Shirley
J. 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.'
