Officials State:.
Goderich Will
Stay "County Seat'
GODERICH - Goderich town
officials, local businessmen and
the man on the street were gath-
ered in informal groups Monday
discussing a report of Clinton's
bid for the Huron County seat.
Officially, they said' "no com-
ment," when asked for an opinion
but they indicated they were more
amused than perturbed over Clin-
ton's move.
Always Remain
Goderich, with a population of
more than 5,000 is not likely to
lose the county seat regardless of
Clinton's overtures, officials said.
They felt it was a "nice gesture"
on the part of the town, but in-
sisted that Goderich was made the
county town when the County of
Huron was incorporated in 1841
and • would always ' remain the
county town.

was hostess to the London- Road
Club last Thursday when about
75 attended.
Mrs. C. Sturdy presided and
Mrs, E. Radford was at the piano.
The president welcomed those
present. The secretary, Mrs. H.
Monaghan read the minutes which
were approved; and also gave the
treasurer's monthly statement in
the absence of the treasurer. Bills
and communications were read by
the secretary. The roll call was
answered by "A Project I would
like the Cothmunity to Under-
take." Among the answers were:
A request that something be done
about Clinton's sidewalks; that
more improvement be, made on the
approach to the park; that a
Home and ' School Association
might be an asset to the com-
munity.
Mrs. M. Crich reportedfor the
committee who investigated the
rest room. It was moved by Mrs.
N. Trewartha "that through Dep-
uty Reeve M. Crich, chairman of
the general government committee
of the town council, that we, the
representative committee of the
Institute, ask that the town jan-
itor visit the rest room morning
and afternoon while school is cal-
ling and "being dismissed in the
afternoon; also that the police
make a check in the evening to
see that the proper care is being
taken by the general public." This
motion was seconded by Mrs.
Shobbrook, It was recommended
that a couch be added to the
furniture already in the rest room.
Several thanked their Sunshine
Sisters. It was agreed that the
Institute would take charge of • a
fancy work booth at the fall hos-
pital bazaar and also to sponsor

Mrs. M. Wiltse introduced the
guest speaker, Rev. A. G. Eagle,
who chose as his topic "Commun-
ity Activities and Public Rela-
tions" and stated that as this is
Brotherhood week this topic seem-
ed appropriate. He centred his re-
marks on three points: Can we
promote a better community with-
out brotherhood? Whose respon-
sibility is it to promote brother-
hood; and can we accept brother-
hood without accepting the father-
hood of God.
"We will have the community
we build," said Mr. Eagle. "The
church, the school, the institute
for the blind, the women's insti-
tute, the town, municipal and
charitable organizations all re-
quire co-operation. If we are int-
erested in an organization's work
we tend to support it, but we can
only promote these on the basis
of understanding. If we try to
escape our responsibility, we call
on the governments.
"Our responsibility is to share
with others less fortunate than
ourselves, Children recognize the
basic love and understanding of

150 More Phones
In Clinton
During Last Year
There were 1,208 telephones in
Clinton at the end of 1953, in-
cluding 150 new telephones instal-
led during the year, according to
a report made recently by W. W.
Haysom, Goderich, The Bell Tele-
phone Company of Canada manag-
er for this region. •
With more customers, more
shareholders and more employees
than ever before in its history, the
Bell enjoyed "a state of vigorous
good health" during 1953, accord-
ing to the company's "74th annual
report issued last Thursday.
A. total of $93,936,298 in wages
and salaries was paid to Bell em-
ployees in Ontario and Quebec
last year. At the end of 1953 the
company employed 31,502 people -
19,917 women and 11,585 men.
The number of shareholders in-
creased during 1953 to 115,789, a
record for any Canadian company.
Most shareholders -98 per cent -
reside in Canada and 91 per cent
live in Ontario and Quebec. The
majority of individual sharehold-
ers are women. • •
The construction of new facilit-
ies during the year was the most
extensive in the company's history
and a record 151,333 telephones
were added, bringing the total
number 111 service to 2,127,456.
More than half the orders for tele-
phones were met promptly, and
those remaining unfilled were fur-
ther reduced to 52,862 from 58,354
Net income amounted to $2.65
a share, compared with $2.47 a
share in 1952. The usual $2 div-
idend was paid and an amount
equivalent to 65 cents a share was
added to surplus. Expenditure of
385,700,000 for new construction,
necessitated by the continuing de-
mand for service, was the highest
amount for a single year in the
company's history.
Total taxes amounted to
$29,899,000,
Government and business con-
tinued to turn to the company;
for services specially devised to
meet their requirements. The
company's microwave radio relay
system between, Toronto, Ottawa
and Montreal, which also carries
telephone conversations, was used
extensively by the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation to
transmit television programs be-
tween its station in these centres.
A "bell and light" attack -warning
network, first of its kind in Can-
ada, was installed in Hamilton.
The company assumed responsibil-
ity for the widespread general
communications requirements of

mission of Ontario.

recognize God as 'our father," went
on Mr, Eagle, "and .stated, "We
cal -ft be brother to our fellow-
man, without accepting God as
father." He closed his remarks
with a reference to the good
Samaritan.
This address was well received,
and a vote of thanks was extend-,
ed to the speaker.
