Elliott Henry Attrill, a "13altia-ore gentleman", in 1875 drilled to 1,600 feet in an effort to create a rock salt mine at Goderich, but abandoned the shaft after sinking $80,000 in it. Domtar Corporation came along three-quarters of a century later and drilled to 1760 feet, through the same , six salt beds that Attrill's men found. ProducL• tion began in 1959, from a plant, surface and underground, repre- 4 senting by `now an investment of -$20",17G0-,-OCCr'. ' The difference between fail- ure and success-was a Means of keeping back. water in the shaft. Attrill's shaft, 1-2 feet in dia- meter , was lined with brick and cement, but at 2'50 feet a mineral spring 'was encountered, with a, flow that several large steam pumps could not handle. Dom'ar used the Cementation' process, with the added advantage of el- ectric power.

Policies: Locations oi iroad alignments The -Point Farms provincial Park located near Goderich is undergoing several new improve- ment projects which will make it* facilities even more attractive„ as a recreational park for both vacationing campers and day- use. Hydro facilities are being in- stalled in 74 campsites. Instal- lation of the hydro outlets is now being completed and they are expected to be ready for use during the month of July. There are a total of 235 camp and trailer sites now in the park. A complete new, modern sew- age system has been installed in the Paris with central lines and a pumping unit to convey sewage underground to a large lagoon. Construction of the lagoon was done by . earth mov- ing equipment' last fall, and lines installed la preparation for this seasons operation. . The new, system replaces the former iii,, dividual tile bed facilities and has a capacity for more than double the present requirements of the whole park, allowing for the planned future expansion of camping facilities whenrequired. A new sanitation station, hai also been installed at the park to provide a sewage dumping lo- cation for trailers. Park Superintendent Clifford Bates and his staff anticipate increases in visitors to the park this season, both for camping and for day-use. Attendance is already up this season for the month of May over last year, and for .the May 24th week-end camp- ing was nearly double the normal number of campers. Many, of the campers are now return visitors, having discovered the park and its features during a previous Visit. Of the Provincial parks located on the Lake Huron shore- line, Point Farms is relatively within future Residential areas are schematic and may be var- ied if alternative locations are , 4 satisfactory. O., " Highway 8 and County ;Road 12 are the Town's arterial roads and the, existing rights-of-way will be maintained and improve- ments will be initiated on thoSe roads as appropriate and in , accordance with Provincial and County Highway policies. All -other roads are local -Town roads and will be provided and maintained at a suitable stan- dard for local traffic. Where right-of-way widths are con- sidered inadequate, they will be widened as shown on the Land Use and Roads Plan map, in accordance with need and budget- " ary limitations. Public Implementation: New roads. will be acquired by conditions of approval of plans of subdivision, by consents for conveyance, or by purchase. 6 /, two of •the outer estantisnect parks, the Pinery Park and Inver- huron- Park, it has 'been until " recently by-passed by iltailitelk- the vacationing campers travel- ling the Bluewater Highway. Point Farms Park is located 4 miles north of Goderich on Highway 21. It is a recreation class of Provincial Park estab- lished on 584 acres of land which since the 1920's was mainly used for farming, prior to that for the period of more than half a century it was the site of a large summer resort the first of such resorts established in South Western Ontario. 'In the 1860's the original summer resort was called Point Farms. - Most of the Park property is still open land overlooking the Lake Huron beach area from a height of 75 feet above lake level. Extensive tree planting has been carried out over the past few years by the park staff and this is beginning to change the open appearance of the property, and make it more attractive for camping and recreation. 4, • 0 • I a • 1 RONNENBERG INSURANCE AGENCY MONKTON Phone 347-2241 `Office Open Monday Through Saturday Brussels Office Open 'rues., and Friday Phone 887-6663 HOLLAND & MOORE INSURANCE Dublin, 345-2512 — Mitchell 348-9067 GERALD K. -HOLLAND INVESTMENTS Phone 345-2500 Dublin This coupon worth 5C towards the purchase of _Pert°.

Sifto Salt Division at Goderich harbor, opened in 1959. Near the trees at right, Attrill drilled to 1600 feet and sank a 12-feet-wide shaft to 250, but was defeated there by a flow of water he could not overcome. He poured $80,000 into the hole, covered over only a few years ago. Early Expositor Recalls Salt Mining Project from ortne, but Attrill had an idea that there was a big market for rock salt, and he was right, though he -failed to tap it. The Huron Exj5ositor of March 6, 1874, reported the beginning of the project. "Mr. Attrill, the Baltimore gentleman who purchased the Ridge and adjoining property at Goderich a short time ago, in- tends to develop a new enter- prise there. He intends to sink a shaft 10 to 14 feet in diameter and dig out the salt instead of purnbing the bride.

The-groups held a dinner meeting Tuesday last at which the agreement was signed. The 'story goeS on -to relate that insofar as— it is practical; the group hopes to achieve a uniform marketing approach and uni- form retail rate structures within the municipalities -involved. It is expected that other electric utilities in Huron County may join "Compec Huron" in the future. A member of the first Zurich Girl Guides, Miss Dianne Klopp was pre- sented with her Gold Cord at a very impressive mother and daughter banquet held at the Dominion Hotel last Wednesday. A Gold Cord is the highest award pre- sented in Guiding and was made by Miss Mary McMillan, Goderich, areacommiss- loner. Highway 84 will receive a new surface treatment' this summer according to Honourable Charles McNaughton. What an egg! The Blyth Standard's -- report' goes like this. "Brother, when a Swan lays icon the line, she-does just - that. If you want pr-Todf-arth-d-5.-nrciri, — just take a 'gander;' in the window of the Blyth Standard office the next time you' are passing. The egg of all eggs is pre- sently on display for public viewing. The whopper was laid by female_swan at the pond of George Radford, south of Blyth. George has a pair of the beautiful birds gracing, his pond and this spring iaid seven eggs. Six of them hatched. The other is in our window.' The huge egg has been in our window - sitting in the sun - for two weeks now. We suspect it is now more potent than the atomic bomb and are already making plans to dispose of it post haste. Lee Hee would like to warn •those viewing the egg at this time,' better be prepared . • . it might explode any time and shatter the Standard window. In the Brussels Post we note that a family, .gathering was held at the, home of--Mr.. and Mrs. Mervyn Pipe on Sun- day to celebrate. he-413th' 'birthday of Mr. Ed. Pollard. Mr. It lliam Mac- Donald, an honoured citizen, received a lovely scroll on his 90th birthday. It was presented by Mr. 'Murray Gaunt, M.P.P., on behalf of Hon. William Davis, Prime Minister of Ontario. In the Whitechurch news items in the Lucknow, Sentinel we note that Mr. and Mrs. Ben McClenaghan marked their 56th wedding anniversary at their farm "home with a family dinner. From the Clinton News-Record we relate a worthwhile note which was men- tioned • by several members of council on Monday night on the appearance of the park areas in the downtown section of Clinton now that Mr. Doug. Kennedy is in charge of keeping them clean and tidy. As they said, and we agree, the r -town ha's never lboked better and the well cut grass, weeded flower beds and laqk of litter must make a good impres- sion on those driving through town. We can have more pride in our town be- cause Mr. Kennedy takes such pride in his job. Monday morning Mrs. Marion Deline, formerly of Adastral Park, Clinton, according to the Exeter Times-Advocate, assumed the duties of postmaster In the police village of Centralia. The vacancy was created with the death of former postmaster, Ray Laramie., ' • • Have you got a nose for news?
