\OMEN'S
Greetings! We have been
busy preparing for Christmas.
Lastweek, Hilde Maurer
skillfully demonstrated the
making of colourful beeswax
candles. was fun ezperien-
cing the 'enthusiasm of the
group as over forty pounds of
wax was used to create candles
for the festive season.
December 4, Tim St. Louis of
Raintree Gallery, Clinton,
presently instructing a craft
course at the Goderich
CollegiateCollegiate Night School,
showed the women how to
create decorations and .center-
pieces out of bits and pieces Tor
the holiday.
Speaking of creations, did
you notice the fun float, "it was
the nite before Christmas" in
the Sarira Clause parade last
rd prize in the service
)n. A good many hours of
in and work went into it.
.t, it was fun working together
getting to know one
,ther. I attempted to make a
;LI( you" list of float
-asters and workers. When
became so long and involved
gave up. So thanks a million
N everyone who helped make
the float a success. I hope you
nioved every minute.
Goderich Municipal Election
was Monday, as I write the
votes aren't counted. I don't
know who won. I do wish, to
take this opportunity to thank
all the candidates who ,took
time out from their busy
routines to discuss their
reasons for running for office
and their plans for the Town of
Goderich with Women's Day
Ou,t. It was much easier
choosing the spaces to mark
our X's when we knew the
faces and personalities
belonging to the names on the
ballots.
We were pleased that five out
of eighteen candidates for coun-
cil or 28% were women. Some
day it may be a 50-50 slate.
Anyhow, back to the business
. of caring for one's family, Wed -

Health Nurses will discuss the

:i.se Parks worker
to 6e on duty
for winter at arena
The Goderich `Recreation
Board agreed to a proposal
that will put one of the town
employees laid off for the win-
ter back on the job. ,
The decision made at the
board's monthly meeting .will
utilize one of the Parks Depart-
ment's men for the winter to.
handle the extra workload,, at
the . Goderich Arena.
The suggestion came as a
result bf .discussion on the
s arena staff work schedule. -,The
board members were presented
a brief -that -painted.out_that. . the
Goderich arena compared to
others in the area is busier and
operates with less staff.

mentioned in the brief and all
have their ice used less than
Goderich. The auditoriums in
all these town-aonas are also
used much less than Goderich.
All have three full time staff
capable of handling all the
responsibilities of operating the
arena while Goderich has only
two.
The 'suggestion by board
member,,Harry Worsell to hire
ope of the parks men was
'favorable to the group. The
move would give one •of the
town's'-em-ployees workfor the
winter and would not force the
rec board to lay a man off in
the spring.
The two man system presen-
tly used at the arena , was
deemed impractical by the
Ward. They felt that if one of
the men was ill the work left to
the other would be too great.
The workload at the arena 'is
divided between Bill Lumby
and Russell Pruder now and a
third staff member, Howard
Carroll . is mainly responsible
for cleaning.
Many rink rats help out in
exchange for parttime money
and or free skating privileges
and the number of these oc-
casional workers would be
reduced by the third man. They
could not be removed entirely
but the third man would mean
there would be no doubt about
someone being ,,there to do any
job that springs up.
The new man will be inter-
viewed by the arena manager
and the recreation director.

Many agree time

Goderieh township
ratepayers are:wary of the ex-
pansion of Goderich and .the
use of quality farm land for in-
dustrial and residential use. At
a, public meeting..to devise, an
official plan for the town't3hip,
they again expressed concern
for the protection of good farm
land for only agricultural use.
The planning workshop on
urban development in the
township, the second of a
series, was designed to
establish the views of township
residents on future develop-
ment. Again, as in the first
Meeting, agriculture received
top priority.
Many township residents
• said they wicduldn't want tip live
in Goderich because of the
"hustle and bustle" of the
town, and they don't want the
Most agreed though, that the
expansion of .Goderich would
inevitably lead to the an-
nexation of township land.
The township would be
willing to allow Goderich to an-
nex the 42 -home subdivision
south of the town, if the sub-
division demanded services,
such as sanitary sewers, and
lighting.
Township deputy -reeve,.
Gerry Ginn said that presently
the unserviced subdivision is
providing benefits to the town-
ship by means:of taxes, but t`he
cost to' the township would be
considerable if the subdivision
demanded services. If it were
annexed, °the town would then
have to pay for the services.
Huron County , planning
director Gary Davidson replied
that under those conditions, the
town would not be inclined to
annex the subdivision.
There are another 42 lots in
the subdivision, set up
•
originallylder the Veteran's
Land Act of 1955, which could
be developed. More lots could
'be added behind and beside it,
"according to. Mr. Davidson.
Most ratepayers prefer that•
development take place in one
area such as this, rather than.
.sporadically placing hou:,es
throughout the 'township,
providing that the land is
marginal land. Their other con-
cern is to protect the natural
scenery and beauty of the area.
Restricting the development
of homes to one or several large -
areas would restrict 'farmers
from keeping a piece of their
land on which to build a
retirement home.
Mr. Davidson explained that-
if
hatif every farmer kept several
acres for himself upon
retirement, all, she good

Planner Nick Hill said if this
is allowed it becomes a
"speculative loophole."
Speaking from past experience,
he said, the house is sold right
. after being constructed.
Ratepayers -also voted
decisively against allowing per-
manent mobile homes into the
township.

The' wassail bowl
BY. PEARL WOLFE
CONESTOGA JOURNALISM
STUDENT:
When we sing "here -we -go -a -
wassailing", what we are really
talking about,_ is the holiday
cheer that is a part of carolling.
Traditionally, feasting 'and
toasting were always included
ip the rounds made by
carollers, for the "wassail
-bowl" is a punch Sr any festive
beverage. . -0
The wassail was also an
early. English name for carol,
named probably. from the
Anglo-Saxon , "weshal",
meaning "to , be hale or
hearty."

producing gas, coal is no longer a
•
word.
While we are bei -ng affected h' the world
ener�� crisis, Canada, is sitting* on top of one of the
largest coal supplies anywhere. Some have
suggested meeting a much biggei-••jortion of our.
future energy needs by burning it, while others
have shuddered at the thought. .�
Coal has been the dirtiest burning fuel of
all. Ithas contributed greatly to pollution that
we''\'e already ex'perienced..
- But now there's a way of using our vast
coal resource. that will help ensure gas supplies -
almo�st indefinitely. We ca•11_it the gasification of
coal.
It's a process of producing a gas that's in-
V
every' way comparable and completely
interchangeable with natural gas.The end product
is efficient and hurns`virtualiy pollution -free.
At Union Gas, we've established a.
'research
� (7' I the ! � ' �e applications research group to study practical applications
of this new process. And it's just one of the things
we're involved in, The whole idea is to make sure
we never run short of gas. Even if we have to clean
up a dirty fuel.
