Tid B1ts...Tid Bits BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Winner of $1,000 in this week's Goderich and District Community Grandstand Lottery is Harold Refflinghaus of Goderich. He held lucky ticket number 1450. There are five draws left and it is still undecided as to whether or not another lottery should be held. +++ And speaking of win- ners, Gordon Ferris of Goderich won a bonanza raffle while aboard the cruise ship, Carnivale, on a Caribbean cruise last week with his wife. The raffle prize, was American cash amounting to the price of one cruise fare. +++ The Goderich Kinettes are planning an auction sale for early May and as this is the "spring cleaning" time of year, they feel it is also a good time to ask for donations. Instead of throwing away the stuff you've cleared out of your attic or garage, why not give Dot Scott (524-7036) or Sandy Pollock (524-2572) of the Kinettesa call. They will see that your "stuff" gets picked up and sorted for their sale. Watch the ads in this newspaper for the next several weeks for further information. +++ This month and next month offers some good musical entertainment for the folks of Goderich. The ,Sounds of Goderich '79 concert, featuring three local choirs and the Laketown Band, is being held in the G.D.C.I. auditorium this Friday evening at 8 p.m. Then ,on Saturday, April 28 the Gdderich Big Sing, sponsored by the Associated Male Choruses of Ontario, will be held in Knox Presbyterian Church at 8 p.m. This concert will feature the Queensmen of Toronto, the Inter- national Harvesterchoir of Hamilton, the Brant Men of Song from Brantford, the Fleming Gray Chorus of Cam- bridge -and •the Har- bouraires of Goderich. +++ E. Barker of Goderich' sent us a cartoon this week clipped from the Globe and Mail last fall. It is one from theseries entitled "Herman" and shows two hospital patients sharing the same bed, one with his feet -2 sticking out by the othef one's head. A doctor is assuring the two un- comfortable ncomfortable patients with the words, "Look, as soon as a private room becomes available, you'll get one." At first glance, the cartoon is funny but it's not 'so funny when one considers the very real situation of hospital bed shortages facing us here in Huron County. Mr. Barker says if Health Minister Dennis Timbrell has his way, perhaps we can expect a situation similar to the one depicted in the cartoon to develop in our own hospital! +++ As you've probably all read by now, the Goderich Performing Arts Foundation was able to raise $50,000 to secure the property at 35 South Street and save the former Polley's Livery Stable from demolition.
