Because the storm continued relentlessly, it was several days before her crew could launch a lifeboat, abandon ship and reach shore safelY. In the spring of the following year, Captain Tom Reid, marine salvage operator from Sarnia, inspected the broken vessel. He decided that it could be saved; consequently, the ship was raised and towed to Midland for her new owners. Repaired and refitted, she then sailed as the Glenshee. Later, the name Marquette was acquired. In 1926, the vessel became the property of Canada Steamship Lines and proudly sailed as the Goderich. Algoma Central Railway purchased her in 1963 and named her the Agawa. Early in 1968, she made her last trip down Lake Huron to the port of Goderich. Here, now retired from active service, she is moored: - the Lionel. Parsons, a - storage Vessel owned by Goderich Elevators Limited.

Not the end Dear Editor, Reading this week's "Dear Editor” section, I found a young Grade 12 high school student ob- jecting to "Feligion" in the schools. On the "Church Page" I found two statements and one question by a religious "teacher": "The Bible makes it perfectly Clear that death -is not the end of life"; "Your soul, which is the real you will be transported -to Heaven, or Hell"; and "Do you know anything about the place?" The Bible book of Ecclesiastes tells me: "All go unto one place ;. all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."' (3:20) Chapter 9:10 of the Earliest English tran- slation says: "Wh,at- soever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly; for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, , nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening." (Douay) This is in full harmony with what Almighty God told Adam: "Thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17-3:19) The gist of the two statements quoted from the Church Page is: "ye shall hot surely die,", stated by the deceiver to Eve at Genesis 3:4. Can we wonder that Grade 12 students object to "religion" being imposed upon them? These students are not 'stupid'. The Bible hope for the dead is pointed out at Acts 29:15: "There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust." Acts 17:31 assures us: God "hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath or- dained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he raised him from the dead." Sincerely, C.F. Barney On the line Dear Editor, I think it is about time that some changes were made in the building codes in our town. I was raised in the town of Goderich ancl also raised my family here. 0, I think Goderich is a' great place to live but I am wondering if they want a man to make his living in Goderich. I had a fire at my Gas Bar in the early part of. June and we have been told that we can not CHRISTMAS REMINDER This year's Christmas Message - to your loved ones.,.

I think that due to the mix up _in the com- munications the night of the fire that some con- sideration should be given. I do not want to bring old skeletons out of the closet but I think some people should understand that this business is my bread and butter. I do noCknow what all the stink is all about, because, all Mr. Malone and myself want to build is the same thing that was here before "Gas Bar" nothing else. I hope some people will not take this letter too personal, but I am one who will tell how I feel and this is exactly how I feel, Harold Lamb, 116 Cambria Rd. North,- Goderich. Call a cab Dear Editor, This will serve as confirmation that -the Free Taxi Service will be offered again this year for Goderich residents on New Year's Eve. • As in the past two years, the public service will be available from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. within the town limits. We hope that this will become an annual un- dertaking as it has become increasingly easy to obtain spon- sorship by area business people. Many people made use of the taxis and we hope that the response will be as favourable this year. The project has been organized a little earlier this year with the aim that more residents will be aware that the taxis are at their disposal and they may plan to leave their vehicles at home on New Year's Eve, if at all possible. The sponsors are not looking for recognition, however, they would appreciate any publication that the newspaper could provide as to advising the public that this service has been arranged for their use within the town limits during the hours men- tioned above. The project co- ordinators this year are Bruce Betties of Bluewater Taxi and the undersigned. For further information please contact Bruce at 524-2092 or Heather at 524-2472. The users can call the Taxi companies directly on NewGYear's Eve, the earlier the better, to book the vehicles. Bluewater Taxi 524-7305; Goderich Taxi 524-5694. °CHAMPION COLOURING CONTEST WINNERS The winners of the Champion Motor Grader Colouring Contest have been selected.
