The handling of those students from
Riverview, Michigan during.a snow storm
not too long. ago was. tj' feather, in the cap,
for all concerned in Goderich.
But the reciprocation from the
mayor, school board and other officials
.from that city .jcross the border was
something else.
The mayor', of Riverview, the
president of the board of 'education, the
"superintendent of schools and, the' city
