Luckily, Goderich did not suffer from the heavy wind .as did London and down to Detroit; still, the near freeze that came along after the storm is something you can tell your grandchildren about...near the middle of Pune and we are worrying about our Tants freezing! Doesn't make sense the way the weather has been behaving the last few years. We can moan and groan but it won't change a thing, all we can do is try to adjust quickly to all these queer changes in temps and wear a...smile. Somehow, I feel real good about the Baechler Lumber Mill back in business. I mean the REAL lumber business - making things, cutting and stacking those huge, lovely piles of clean smelling boards and big The Goderich Kinsmen Club presented a new executive to the regualr meeting of the service group, Monday.

Good luck, Folks. It is, great the way our highway re -building is shaping up. The' detours Martha Rathburn are a real challenge, make you feel something worthwhile is happening, and it IS. Outside of the fact that we still have the big bend from Bayfield Road to Victoria Street using a block of Britannia Road, a very bad bend, things are coming along real fast and I hope our tourists will understand we are doing it all for them. Well, not ALL. Otir big mistake is keeping the highway in the centre of the town. We are not holding up traffic as badly as our neighbour, Kincardine, has done for years. I think our council was unable to move traffic any better than the Victoria St. way which luckily does not force any slow -ups on the folks who wish .to go quickly through these small towns to . their destination. Kincardine, on the other hand, has for all these years forced a terrific slow -down on their narrow main street with cars stopping and slowing, ' just ANYWHERE for the shops and op Saturday nites theyrciit one off completely . with the crowd enjoying the Highland Band marching down Main Street. I cotrff- not. see that.. forcing traffic to go down your main street would with Martha get people to stop and shop at your stores. This town of Kincardine is now gr:atddynforg trtheaffic whowish to get along andi'd like to qay that I think their !tourist trade will be much better when folks know they can get to the parking spaces easily and travel back and forth without being held up by trucks and passers-thru. For our town to capture tourists who had no in- tention of stopping to' shop or eat, all we need are a few signs on each highway TELLING of our facilities and quaint and historical town. AD- VERTISE - that is the key word. Curiosity will stop them faster than a slow down and it is much more pleasant. Our beautiful Square is finally being given the publicity it needs. The merchants, many of whom have really suf- fered while trying to hang on for the break that will show us all that they believed in the great possibilities of our unique Square, ' the foresightedness of the men who designed and built our Square Now Turn to page 18 • tt (Goderich) Ltd.
