The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-10-11, Page 3PAGE 2 --GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1979 Tid Bits...Tid Bits...Tid Bits... BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Shopping Canadian means more jobs for Canadians. That's the basic message behind Shop Canadian Week being sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism in Ontario this week through to October 13. Gallup Poll research shows that 67 per cent of Canadians believe they benefit from buying Canadian -made products. But only 40 per cent remember to check for country of origin when making purchases. A reminder to Shop Canadian is especially important at this time before the major holiday shopping season (remember only 10 weeks of Christmas shopping left). Young people are being reminded to Shop Canadian through a special school program, The Great Made -in - Canada Label Hunt, developed by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism in co-operation with the Ministry of Education. Two lesson plans and sets of teaching materials, one for Grades, 4 to 8 and one for high schools, will try to make young people aware of the connection between their purchases and the economy as a whole. Manufacturers are also being asked to par- ticipate in Shop Canadian Week by marking their goods clearly as being produced in Canada, by looking for areas where they are better able to compete with imports than they could 'in the Near railway past, and by shifting their our recipe contest are own purchases to from individuals.

Goderich planning board decided recently that, , an apartment building can be com- patible with a railway line. The board approved a two storey. apartment building proposed by Arnold Stothers when it learned the building would not necessarily be in conflict with adjacent rail yards. The apartment will be located on Cambria Road adjacent to the Canadian National Railway line servicing Goderich in- dustries. The lot is close to the rail loading plat- form used by Champion Road Machinery Ltd. to load road graders on rail cars., The board was con- cerned when it first heard the proposal that the building would not be compatible with the rail line. To have its concerns dealt with it delayed any decision until it could hear from CN and the provincial ministry ofthe environment. A representative from CN told the board in September that as far as the railway was con- cerned people and railways don't mix. The spokesman said CN had no clear cut policy on objecting to any residential land use near its lines but preferred to treat each matter in- dividually. He told the board CN did not want to stand in the way of progress in Goderich but did have to protect its own interests. He said if the ministry of the environment ruled that fumes, noise and vibration from train movements in the area were acceptable levels for residential land use CN would probably not object. Nick Hill, of Hill and Borgal Architects and Planners, designers of the building, told the board the rail line and the apartment could be made compatible. Hill said he had altered the position of the two storey building on the lot to get it as far away from the rail lines as possible and still observe side yard and setback restrictions. He said the north end of the building Would be 100 feet from the closest rail line, the centre of the building 80 feet and the south end 75 feet. Hill said sound berms positioned between the building and the rail line should further reduce noise levels. The mounds of earth will be land- scaped and should help to deflect sound over the top of the building. Hill said the two moves would leave the level of sound apartment dwellers will have to live with slightly over those considered acceptable by the ministry of the en- vironment. n-vironment. Hill strengthened his arguements telling the board he had surveyed residents of the neigh- borhood to find out just 'how bad the noise and smell •of the railmline was considered to be. He said he talked to people that had lived near the line anywhere from 13 to 30 years and aside from} occasional an- noyances could find no complaints. Planning board felt that -in light of CN's comments and the fact that sound levels were within ministry of en- vironment guidelines the building could be com- patible. • John Schaefer told the board it must consider the value of .the land as industrial. He said he personally was in favor of the apartment over more industry that could "aggravate what is already a problem 31 Tid living in Kincardine.
