arbor but, at the present , Uwe,
jean not find.
First, are electrical outlets.
When the cabin cruisers can .not
tlug into the local hydro power
hey have to keep the generators
Inning on their boats all the time.
This is not only a,men sive but also
Makes a noise which isn't par-
icularly conducive to completely
,Restful sleep during the night.
These electrical outlets would be
placed along the inside of the
dock along Snifg Herbor. Then
cabin cruisers, which will easily
be able to tie up inside Snug
Harbor (to be enlarged and deep-
ened by the contractors now work-
ing on the rock salt mine) can plug
into these electrical outlets. Even
the boats on the other aide of the
dock (the harbor side) will also be
able to plug in by their extension
lines reaching over the compar-
atively narrow dock. The elec-
trical outlets are the first and about
the most needed improvements.
But other things will add con-
siderably, too. For example, a
barbecue along this dock would be
welerfmed by the owners of these
visiting boats and their guests.
A few picnic tables placed here
end there would enable them to
get out of their boats and have
a meal on the tables with a breeze
blowing on them from the lake.
Landscaping Plan
When Snug Harbor is re -vamped
the plans call for some attractive
landscaping. This will include a
lawn and trees immediately to the
west of Soiug Harbor and between
it and the road which will run
parallel to Snug Harbor and lead
from the North Shore Road to the
North Pier of the channel. In this
_sill park,,it_.is_ planned to place
benches for the pleasure of the
cabin cruiser people who can get
out of their boats, stretch their sea -
weary legs, by a walk in the park
or rest in the cool, shady comfort
on park benches. Garbage . p3:ils
and also flush toilets are needed.
The whole idea is to make things
attractive at the harbor for these
visitors. It is felt it will pay off
in the long run. If you are doubt-
ful about it, you should go to Port
Elgin and see what they have done
there for these cabin cruiser visit-
ors—and how it has more than
paid off.

Town •,
A one -woman campaign to raise
funds for the purpose. of provid-
ing better acoon 'nodatren at Gode-
rich barber ;tor visiting cabin,
cruisers has gcue over the top.
It all started when Mrs. George
Filsinger heard repeated com-
plaints from the owners of visiting
cabin cruisers about the poor ac-
commodation here in comparison
to other lake ports, Port Elgin,
for example.
After making a survey of what
was needed, Mrs. (Mary) Filsinger
deckled to make a canvass of
merchants to raise' the money re-
quired to make necessary improve-
ments. The original objective was
$700.
So far, she has canrvassed over 30
merchants and only, one of them
has turned her down. From each
of them she obtained an average
of from $10 to $35. Right now
she has more than $500 in the
kitty from local merchants. with
many more yet to be called upon.
In addition to the aforernenti-on-
ed sum she has received the O.K.
from the Town Council for $350
from that body just as soon as the
proposed work is completed. So,
that brings the total up to $850
to date (with more calls still to be
made on merchants) which sum is
5150 over the objective.
Since then, however, she has
seen the need for more to be done
than what was called for in the
original plan. So, with whatever
extra moneyrcomes in from now on
that many more improvements will
be made for the benefit of the visit-
ing cabin cruisers. The people on
r.
MRS. G. FILSINGER
these boats, of course, will be in-
ducedT to visit in Goderich just
that much longer if facilities at the
harbor are sufficiently attractive
to keep them here a few more days
instead of heading north to other
ports. When they do stay, they
frequently go uptown and pur-
chase many different items, thus
benefiting the merchants and the
town as a whole.
What's . Needed
Following are needed improve-
ments which the owners of the
cabin cruisers look for at Goderich

1, elgrave, was Cued, $75 acid
costs or 10 days in jail tiyilien l►e
•a"peared before Magistrate D. E.
J Oimes here last week.
The Motorist was charged after
police observed ,his driving in
Gederich on Sunday, August 4. The
conviction carried with it an auto-
matic license suspension of three
months.
In a case arising out of ata ac-
cident near Holmesville, William
Bender, of IL,R. 3, Clinton, was
(Fined 05• and 'costs or one week in
jail for careless driving. He plead-
ed not guilty.
Provincial Constable J. Parldon-
son, of Goderich, said that a truck
driven by liar. Bender was in col-
lision with an English car contain-
ing Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Peacock,
of London, on highway 8 on July 6.
Mr. Bender had stopped to let
out a hitch -hiker, Gary Miller, near
the Holmesville crossroads. As he
pulled back onto the highway, his
truck was in collision with the car
which -came from the same direc-
tion and was attempting to pass
him.
Nie Bender said that he did not
see the car when he glanced in
the truck's -'mirror. The magis-
trate warned that a motorist must
take more precautions than just
looking in the mirror when he
drives a vehicle back onto the
Highway these days.

Edward Dohms, 30, - was fined $20
and costs or five days in jail for
careless driving in Colborne Town-

TV PRODUCTION'
PRICES RISE
In every part of the country
Where a good signal can be' re-
ceived, nearly every home now
has a television set. Because of
this "saturization" of the market
there has been a gradual slow -up
in the production of television
sets among the manufacturers.
This fact, together with increa ing
labor and material costs, is certain
to affect the cost of manufacture
per unit, which no doubt will be
passed along to the public.
As a further result of this
"saturisation" there is bound to be
a big volume of used television
sets which are about due to be
traded in. Dealers may find it
difficult to dispose of so many
used sets and may be forced to
considerably lower trade-in allow -
antes.
Right now Huron Tower TV
can sell used television sets for
summer home and cottage use
and can still offer you a good
allowance on your old set for a
new set. If you are even CON-
SIDERING trading your TV for
a new set, it will pay to act NOW.
