People.froth all over the area
University at the age of
60. We hope she is en-
joying her retirement.
The first of many
historical articles by W.
E. Elliott also appeared
this ,week. It was on
James Shaw Sinclair,
Goderich lawyer and
Wentworth Judge. We
have had a lot of
favorable comments
throughout the year on
Mr. Elliott's features
which are read and en-
joyed by many.
On February 16 I in-
terviewed Glen Murphy,
an Australian who was
living in Goderich for the
year on a Rotary Club
Youth Exchange. Glen
was finding . Canada's
cold weather a real shock
to his system. He's back
basking in the warm
climate of his own
country now with Canada
and Goderich as a fond
?'memory in his mind. If he
stuck to his plans, he is
probably also studying to
be a doctor at present.
On February 23 we
carried a small feature
on Debbie Jeffrey, 19 -
year -old daughter of
Ellen and Ed Jeffrey,
who had won a gold
medal in dance at a
figure skating event in
Kincardine, the highest
figure skating award one
can receive. Debbie' 'is
now a figure skating
teacher.
MARCH
On March 2 there was a
story on the marriage
counselling services
available at the Family
and Children's Services
(Children's Aid Society).
Not too many people
realize that this agency is
not just for children, but
for adults with problems
as well and that was part
of the reason for the
agency's name change:
On March 9 I did a story
on Mrs. Frank McArthur
of Goderich, an arthritis
victim who has • had a
total hip replacement.
The story went into how
'money given to the
Canadian. Arthritis
Society helps people like
Mrs. McArthur lead•more
comfortable lives.
Perhaps some day,
research will find a cure
for arthritis once and for
all.
We began doing
features on. some of
Goderich's many service
clubs in town during the
next few weeks with Dave
Sykes to take on the
men's clubs and me to
take on the women's
clubs.
On March 16 I did a
feature on the Kinettes
Club. This auxiliary to
the Kinsmen Club started
in 1948, a year after the
Kinsmen Club was for-
med in Goderich. Mrs. D.
J. (Grace) Patterson was
the first president and the
1978 president, who I
interviewed for the story,
was Mrs. Lil Lougheed.
Mrs. Patterson its still an
active member of this
club which tries its best to
serve the community's
greatest needs at all
times.
Dave did a feature on
the Royal Canadian
Legion Branch 109 which.
celebrated .its 50th an-
niversary in 1977. Aside
from providing a vital
service to veterans, the
Legion has grown to
serve other vital needs in
the community as well.
The story also included a
picture of Dave McMillan
who served in both World
Wars and has been a
member of the Legion
since 1927.
Also on March 16 there
was a story on a day -long
tree trimming and cut-
ting seminar sponsored
by the Parks Committee
of Goderich and involving
the PUC, the Works and
Engineering Depart-
ment, Lambton College
students and instructors
and members of the
Parks crew and board
from both Southampton
and Goderich...
This brought us up to
our Easter edition and
what more appropriate
features could we come .
up with than one on eggs
and one on rabbits.
The front page featured
a photo story on Victoria
Public School's first
annual -Great Egg Race.

Egg mobiles, propelled
by one elastic band each
and built large enough to
carry one egg each, were
fashioned by the students
out of odds and ends of
material, for the,,purpose
of racing in the school
gym. First prize for
distance went to John
Freeman and first prize
for novel construction
went to Duane Horton.
Inside, on the farm
page, we had a feature on
Don Upthegrove of R.R.6
Goderich who had been
operating a rabbit farm
for about a year and a
half at that time. He sells
his rabbits to processors
as friers and also to other
farmers as young
breeding stock. He also
says they make good pets
as they are clean and
quiet and live to the age
of six or seven. I noticed
an ad in the paper a little
while ago which indicates
that Mr. Upthegrove is
still in the bunny
business.
On March 30 there was ,
a feature, illustrated with
photos, on the 30 Huron',
County residents who
took the oath of Canadian
Citizenship at a
Citizenship Court held in
Goderich. The 30 included
town councillor Stan
Profit and his wife
Francis.
Mr. Elliott also had a
feature ip this edition on
Young'sSchool USS 3 in
Colborne Township
APRIL
April 6 featured a whole
page`answering questions
about the teacher's strike
which was going on in the
county at the time and
was uppermost in
everyone's mind.
There was also a
feature that week on the
Ladies' Legion Auxiliary.
I interviewed Mona
Davis, then the president
of the auxiliary, and
found out 'that the
auxiliary; which was
formed in June of 1947,
served the Legion, the
veteran and the com-
munity in many ways.
There is also a special
comradeship about that
group too.
We called April, the
month to control the big
killers. We had pictures
of the annual Daffodil tea
sponsored by the
Goderich Branch of the
Canadian Cancer Society
and a story on Traffic
Safety Month. An in-
terview with Goderich
Police Chief, Pat King
showed that there had
been no fatal car ac-
cidents in Goderich
during the year. The'
biggest cause of ac-
cidents, Chief King said,
was inattentive driving or
not adapting to hazardous
conditions.
Clarence MacDonald,
Arlene Whiteman of Goderich was featured in the paper in November. She
makes old fashioned dolls out of porcelain. She does it all, from constructing
the moulds to designing the clothes.

The Ahmeek Chapter,
which takes its name
from the Chippewa

I.O.D.E. Chapter in Ow
Doininion, It was founded
in, 1901 by Mrs. Dan
MacDonald and has a
claim to fame of
establishing the first
hospital in the county.
The Maple Leaf
Chapter was formed as a
junior chapter in 1901
with 12 members ranging
in age from 10 to 12.
Shortly before World War
I, it became a senior
chapter.
Both chapters are
going strong today.
