are a first cousin to the
old octogan walks which
are gradually being
replaced by smooth
cement walks as the city
can afford. They are
rather dangerous for
walking as this part

elderly tourists.
Of ,course the malls
have ruined this city
as they' have in Guelph
and other places but it is
too bad our beautiful

There isno comparison to

Dear Editor,
l
received my
December copies of
Signal -Star at Christmas
from fridmwho brought
my mail from Guelph,
and was very pleased to
see Harry Worsell at the

he and Mrs. Palmer will
make a good sensible
team.

Dear Editor:
This is u first. l have
never before felt that it
was necessarto write
letter to our local editor
about an issue in bur
community.After having lived 50
odd yars in our beautiful
town, and havid
our couu[ry, wit four
other mem f our
family in the second
wdrld war, I believe it is
now necessary to speak
out on the subject of
freedom, since a new
organization has been
formed by Mrs. Elsa
Haydon, "The Society for
Freedom of Choice."
This society has been
formed to ask the Huron
Board of Education to
return the banned book
"The Diviners': for our
children ' and' grand-
children to read.
ruod'obikdrontnroud.
Does Mrs. Buydpo^
believe that concerned
parents in Huron County
should have no right or
say in the literature put
at the disposal of our
families in Huron
County?
1 have read part of this
book. 1 have found it, in
my opinion,' to be so
obscene and-
blasphemousit and
all books like it should
certainly be banned from
ever being tl1owed in our
schools. We still have
people who have some
Christian moral codes
left.
We have just read of a
great tragedy in
Jonestown where
freedom of cbmioe, used
wruog\y, has caused -a
great tragedy.
May God graott6ut we
as a Christian nation may
do something about the
poliution that some would
set before our children's
louruhug, with language
in it unfit for anyone to
read in public before
seasoned adults, let alone
our children and gran-
dchildren.
Surely we, as a Free
Christian uudno, can be
allowed some kind of
Christian censorship in
our schools that our
families must attend to
et their education.
Thank God for

take it out on the paying

By the way are you

It leaves a lot of

Dear Editor:
Does it not bother you
when the Town Council's
valuable time is taken up
by bureaucratic ,little
measures which belittle
the Office of the Couoci),
put shadows on con-
structive relationships
and in fact attempt to
place muzz|cs, restric-
tions and barbs on
legitimate working
conditions of members
who are aware of their
rights and obligations
anyway?
There is kid" much Of
that sort of thing. l am
not going to be ordered to
turn left, right or jump! If
there are attempted put-
downs of the Council
collectively or of any
nnn,heron an individual
baoiu, l am afraid
headlines about Haydon
being upset or angry will
be inevitable.
If you please, { would
much rather use the time
and energy to discuss and
untangle bigger and more
important issues and
An example comes to
mind. If the Town' of
Goderich, ` Goderich
Planning Board, County
of Huron, Goderich
P.O.C. or the Huron
County Board of
Education were to find
themselves at opposing
ends of a situation
requiring legal advice or
reprcyentution, how
would we go about it since
all these bodies have the
same solicitor?
Similarly, the Town of
Goderich makes use of
the^ services of Huron
County Planning
Department. Where
would it leave our urban
planning in matters
containing urban versus
rural interests in hostile
situations?
1 would very much like
to spend my time and
energy on triog to settle
these and similar issues.
In doing so [ do not wish
