Filtration Plant to

The new'wrter filtration plant
now under construction, to-
gether with the piping which
brings in water to it from the
lake is to cost approximately
lays. Apart from the inereaked
r., f.sx Cpl f :filteredh vatec,- mat
will this new set-up give us,
some citizens are probably ask-
ing these days.
Among these citizens will be
those who have even had a
little minnow drop into their
glass from the water tap—one
which wds successfulin run-
ning the gauntlet of the old
filter plant. Or; they have
poured a glass of water from
their tap which looked as . if a
sand storm from the Sahara
dessert was blowing in its mid-
st. Later, they have tried again
and were surprised to find the

tion plant, when it is in oper-
ation,- will guarantee • you the
purest and cleanest of water.
He explained to The Signal -
Star that in the present, old
system, the water supply merely
passes from the lake into a set-
tling basin and then through
s ta:J the town's: water
supply tank, . and thence ' by
pipes into your home.
Tinder the new system the
pipes will be' pushed out 1200
feet underground into the lake.
When the water comes in
through this piping, it will first
of all pass through moving
screens, which automatically
clean themselves of debris, fish
and what -have -you. Then the
water proceeds to low level
tanks. Low lift pumps then
lift it up inta onother tank
where liquid alum and dry
chemical feed is added. This
process is called flocculating.

After this has been done the
water will go into flocculating
tanks where the additions' will
be well mixed into the water.
Entering the settling tanks, the
"floc" has a chance to go to
work. This is when the first
giant step in removing foreign
elements from the water is,
taken. The substance that has
been added will make the fine
particles gather together into
larger particles which will fall
to, the bottom of the settling

of the elements from the water
but not all 'have been removed.
So, the water is sent on its final
stage through the sand filters.
You might ask, if it is going
through sand won't it again
pick up more particles? .The
engineer, being a very patient
man, explained that the water -
is moving slowly and a sand Alt-
er, as it is called, is actually
a -series of lavers of sand and
gravel and will screen out any
impurities that might still be
in the water.
High lift pumps will then
take your water on its way to
your home or business. It is
truly amazing, when we con-
sider this is all being done at
a fast enough rate to meet
peak demands of 'Goderich. water
users.
It is a comfort to thin- that
in some 50 weeks we will be
able to turn on the tap and
"voila"—CLEAR, PURE water.
However, " in the meantime, we"
will have to be content to drink
the not so properly filtered
water that has quenched our
thirst for these many years.

Consider Four Room Addition To
No. Three School At Holmesville
(Signal -Star Staff)
HOLMESVILI.,E, Oct: 14. --=An
informal meeting of the Gode-
rich Township School Area
Beard -*,O lcri ,:Titw.n; PiPi
f :Tvas,3)eI11-;131-msda in
S.S. No. 3 at Holmesville to
discuss the overcrowding situ-
ation in No. 1 and N,p. 3 schools.
John 'Tebbutt, school board
chairman, turned the meeting
oyer` to J. W. Coulter, Public
School Inspector, who presented
the facts as they are at present.
He gave the Board' and Council
the complete picture as to the
number,of students in each
grade in the Goderich Township
school area. In order that. the
two groups might better under-
stand the Cost factor, he ex-
plained the Government grants
,as to allowances per classroom,
per student.
After some discussion, the
suggestion was made that in-
stead of building a one -room
addition to No. 3, which all
seemed to agree was necessary,
a fourrrooni. addition be ..con-.
sidered; also that schools No. 6,
4 and 11 be closed completely
with all students transported
to No. 3. At the moment, a
four -room addition is not need-
ed. When- the present No. 3
was built, however, it was estim-
ated that 223, students would
be attending Goderich Township

might w 1 be that the smaller
farm floc could again provide
an attracts •e means of. market-
ing home' grown grain.
The auction inethnd of-' sale
could put the small egg grader
and his patrons in the 9osotion
that they could offer top'quality
eggs in sufficient volume to ob-
tain prices equal to' that re-
ceived by" large producers who
are currently .being paid quant-
ity premiums. ' More inform-
ation will be available and I
hope to -be able to get it out to
you. -
Beef prbducers, I hear, are
having difficulties in getting
enforcement of the bill of lad
ing regulations. The Board of
Transport apparently doesn't
wish to enforce the regulation
which requires all transporters
to give a bill of, lading , when
anything is picked `up "for trans-
porting. It seems unreasonable
that a farmer is expected to
put ,his cattle on a .truck for
shipment many miles without
even a- receipt to show that
the cattle were ever loaded.
There have been a few cases
where real problems arose as a
result of traffic accidents or in
case of sudden death of a truck-
er or drover. Ownership of the
cattle was extremely difficult to
establish.
Knowing this and enforcing
these regulations quite strictly
where Other goods are trans-
ported, it seems strange that
there is hesitancy in requiring
the transportersof cattle to
obey the law.
Just recently I have .had .bit-
ter complaints from a couple of
beef producers on the returns
for Battle sold on the dressed
weight basis. The question of
regulations was raised.
- Is there any regulation stat-
ing `where the front quarter is
divided from the hind quarter?
Carcasses are defatted, and
the dressed weight is taken
afterward. What does this
mean?
One producer remarked that -
he had heard that one proces-
sor was cutting the neck off at
the shoulder instead of at the
head. This could mean a dif-
ference of 10 or 15 pounds in
the dressed weight for which
the producer gets paid. Is there
any regulation governing this?

At Fort Churchill on Hudson
Bay the northern lights are vis-
ible about 300 nights of the
year, _

enrolment is 238.
Furthet discussion revealed
it will be necessaryin, the. very
near at8. - vant'aiders'
able' riioney on maintenance for
number 6, and 11 schools.
It was felt, considering every-
thing, that the one central
school could be operated -cheap-'
er, than the present three
school system. Present facil-
ities in No. 3 could also 'ser-
vice a larger school. Bus costs
would increase slightly but not
enough to be a serious factor.
The same nurhber of teachers
could handle all the'pupils once
the grades were rearranged.
Mr. doulter pointed, out it was
a proven fact ' that a better
education can be obtained in a
central school where there are
less grades add pupils in each
room. Now, there are as many
as 42 in one classroom. Educa-
tional 'authorities regard . 30
pupils as a normal number for
an elementary grade ` room.
After the meeting, Reeve
