Godertth otrport
town planned to purchase
three lakefront. lots bordering
the, airport to permit the
construction of a new paved
runway. The three lots are to
be purchased over three
years: and considering that
additional expense the tiAvn
n.:asked . that the contig± be.
e' prepared to ,tip the ante to
cover ,any financial losses: .
incurred: at the airstrip,
Bob Allen, deputy -reeve of
Goderich, told council that
Sky Harbour can only , be.
considered as an industry in
The county. He said 65. people
are employed at the airport,
and it is destined to grow. He
added that the decision to
purchase Land was made
!because the airport: is now at
is point where it either
expands to permit the safe
landing of larger jet aircraft
Or it reverts back to the size it
was, before the town began
developing .it "'several' years
ago.
,,Exeter deputy -reeve
Donald MacGregor ,did not
agree that:the .:Goderich
airport was as important to
the county as Goderich re-
presentatives indicated.
"'We have a beautiful air
port in the south end of the
county :(Centralia)' ,with all
kinds of buildings sitting
there doing , nothing," said
MacGregor. "It can handle.
medium• size jets but not:
large jet aircraft."
Exeter reeve Eldrid Sim
mons agreedclaiming the
county was being "more.
than ' generous" giving
516,000' each year to Sky;__
Harbour. Simmonsi said the
benefits to the.county maybe; •
noticeable around Goderich.
but he "couldn't see any
benefits to the south end of
'the county"
Howick reeve Harold
Robinson did not want the
,north.end of the county to •be
&left out of the' issue pointing
out to council that .while
Goderich and Exeter both
sported airports Wingham
also had an airstrip. Robin-
son said 90 planes were on
the Wingham airstrip during
the International Plwoing,.
Match in September and he
asked if the county had any
agreements' with' Wingham
to fund that airport.
'County clerk Bill Hanly
told ocuncil that there were
several airports in the 'county
but that many of them had
only grass runways and were
used almost exclusively by.
private,aircraff. He said few..
of the airports are as widely
used as Goderich.

On Tuesday' last week Lou,
Sills joined residents Gladys,
Brightrall, Sally Sillery and;
M. Turnbull in anenjoyable
game of bridge.: h' had been
planned for the.memorable
week before when the
weather interfered.- The light
is beginning to dawn on the
residents who from lack of
practice have forgotten much
of the bridge technique. Lou
was very helpful.
Lou and Gladys had high
score but Sally and I had
some : good plays • and our
score was 'not too far behind.
We will hope for;: another
game • soon: My firstex
perience at euchre was when
Ella & 1 learned to play so

noisy as euchre.
Wednesday Rev. A.A.
Horst of St. Peter's Lutheran
Brodhagen"took the service
which opened with a 'hymn
sing' usingthe following
familiar hymns "'Tell .Me The
Old Old' Story", "My Faith.
Looks up to Thee," "1 am so
:glad that Jesus' Loves Me',:"
"Amazing Grace".which has
become a very popular hymn:'
at recent meetings. '
Rev. Horst complemented'
us on our• singing -and said it
had improved. I havemy own
feelings on that. Personally
my illness has taken away my
singing voice completely and
it hasn't returned. Loi Horst

whom God asked •togo to
Nineveh to preach to the
people to turn fromtheir• evil
ways. Jonah refused to go
but took a ship and went to,

The sailors blamed Jortah
and in their anger tossed him
into the sea where' he was
swallowed " by a big fish.
Jonah repented and went to
