Round `n'A
Well, now that we have
had a good taste of hot
weather - with lots more
to come - we can be
prepared for it with fans
and air conditioners.
I have certainly run
into the hot weather
lately having made three
trips to Windsor in less
than a month, hitting hot
weather each time.
Last weekend we had
two nieces' weddings to
attend down there - both
at opposite sides of the
city, both at four in the
afternoon - I was sure, so
we had to decide on • at-
tending the church for the
one and the reception for
the other.
We made real good
time on the trip down,
taking Highway 21 and
continuing to Chatham
before hitting the 401. For
some reason there was
" little traffic on these back
roads and it \was a nice
change of scenery. We
had lots of time to change
clothes and visit before
going to the church -- we
dawdled along arriving
there at a quarter of four
only to find everyone out
in front of the church --
the wedding was at
THREE!
I don't know how THAT
happened but anyway we
were. in time for the
reception and dinner in
the evening - out of the
terrific heat in a nicely
air conditioned hotel.
This was ' one of the
happiest wedding parties,
I have attended in a long
time - you could just feel
it. And, too, the hotel
personnel were so nice
and friendly - that helps a
lot.
This is something thatI
have found lately -- the
people serving people are
going out of their way to
be helpful and serve you
with a smile ... in many
cities and towns.
Shirley'Kellers write-
up last week - "A friendly
smile could be worth a
buck---" is trying to bring
this to everyone's .at-
tention. With tourism
such an important part of
our lives now, we have to
be able to give a smile as
well as expect it
wherever we go.
I honestly, think the
merchants, the owners of
the eating places,
whether a full restaurant
or a hamburger spot, the
gas stations and every
merchant hoping for
customers to return to
their place of business,
should have a heart to
heart talk with their
employees regarding that
little extra effort some of
them need to use to be
pleasant and SMILE!
There is a write up I
have read which says,
"Remember me -- I'm
the one who sits and sits
while the waitress carries
on with non -essentials or
the folks in the clothing
business ignore you to the
point where you just
walk out and go
elsewherewhere they
aren't much different -
and so on to where I'm
the one who laughs at
your expensive ads to
interest me in coming
into your establishment
where I would have
returned oftener if only I
had been treated with a

few kind words and a
smile while I was there
the first time."
No one wants people
being too pushy - but a
friendly smile can mean
a great deal to everyone

There are so many
ways of making a visitor
want to return to your
town again - and if they
don't return they have
already told many people
of their pleasant sojourn
in your area that others
will want to make the
journey.
Over the years I have
been one of Goderich's
biggest boosters. I have
shown more • people
around this town often
going as far as Pipers
Dam and Benmiller and
Saltford to prove that this
is a nice place sto live. It
didn't hurt a bit to smile
and say a few words. It
wasn't necessary to get
chummy with strangers
and you wouldn't believe
how often this frien-
dliness has bounced back.
I have really enjoyed it -
I'm sure you will too.
