Thirty members of the Alvin- &ton Women's institute visited Goderich by special bus on Mon day. "We have visited your business section and think the stores are very good," Mrs. Elizabeth Claris, secretary of the Alvinston W.I., told. the Signal -Star, telling of the favorable impression made on the women visitors by the stores in Goderieh. Every year they go oft a trip somewhere and on this year's trip some of the ladies were on their first visit to Goderieh. "We usual- ly write in advance to the place we plan to visit to find out what places of interest in the munici- polity we should see," said Mrs. Clark. "I wrote to the Goderich Chamber of Commerce almost two weeks ago but ,sever received a reply. I think they should show prospective visitors to their town more co -•operation than that.

MacDonald Electric Goderieh Phone , 235 38tf Wonle&s- Column BY MARY GUEST With summer, and the tourists, just arou d the corner, it behooves all of us pedestrians to watch our steps. This is not to say that I think all tourists are bad or careless drivers. Some of them are, of course, but most of them are good drivers who are unfamiliar with our trai,rc regulations and so do things which we, the natives, do not expect them to do. Verne Page, when he was Traffic Inspector for Toronto, used to say something to this effect: "If you see a ear with an American licence plate speeding or going through tr .tt e lights or doing anything else dangerous and illegal, do :a+ot assume that the driver is another mad American. Chances are he is a 'returning Canadian' coming back from the States to show off his big new car to the stay-at-homes," It is true though that with the appearance of the first multi -colored licence plates, many of our own native pin- headed drivers take the opportunity to flirt with death. Or perhaps it is just that people who do not drive all winter take their cars out of mothballs at the first sign of summer. We are spared their dangerbus driving all winter king because they are too considerate of their own skins to risk driving in snow and ice --come the first rays of sunshine however, there they are, driving on the wrong side of the road, whip- ping round blind corners on two wheels, double parking and all the rest of it. Here in Goderich we have to put up with a special kind of nuisance, the' character who, seeing a mother with young children, or perhaps an elderly man or woman, proceeding slowly across the road, simply cannot wait for them to reach the other side safely. Oh no, he must whip round in front of them so that he can get where he is going that much quicker. He knows that the elderly pedestrian is not going to put on a sudden burst of speed but what guarantee has he got that one of the children won't suddenly tire of walk- ing and dart under his wheels? All these people are bad drivers—bad because of their selfishness or laziness or thoughtlessness, but there is a form of courteous driving that can be almost as dangerous in its own indirect form. I am referring now to the practice by some motorists of "waving on" pedestrians at a crossing. The motorist may think that he is doing the pedestrian a favour, but we know, don't we, that this is not so. After all, a pedestrian travels very slowly in comparison with a car, and while "Mr. Courtesy" is waiting for us to get across the road, "Mr. Speedhog" on the other side, or even perhaps be, hind him is not so patient. YOU COULD GET KILLED by accepting a driver's invitation to "cross before him." There is another aspect to this business of waiting out a driver and it is this: Often the pedestrian who is "waved on" is a mother with young children. Perhaps she is saying, as I was the other -Aar, "No smi, we- ean't-cross-Petr there's a car here. We must wait until there are no cars and then cross." e stood at the curb. The driver waved imperiously again. I shook my head firmly. Finally, his winning smile replaced by a glare of baffled rage, the man drove on. No doubt I had spoiled his day for him by refusing to accept his little courtesy, but I counted it well spoiled if I had managed to drive a safety rule home into my son's head. Before leaving the subject altogether, I must say that I for one would welcome traffic lights at the junction of West and Waterloo streets—or at least a policeman on traffic duty at the busiest times of the week. See you next week! needed," she said.
