Property committee
chairman Councillor Bob Allen
recommended to CoUncil that
they accept a plan.prepared fcir
expansion of the town's fire hall
and prepare to tender for the
$9,099 project. Mr. Allen made
the'' recommendation after
council discussed housing the
new fire truck the town
inherited from the townships of
Col rne and Goderich.
truck, a tanker, was
pure d by the townships for
use in rural fires and will be
maintained, housed and
operated by the Goderich
volunteer fire department. The
problem of storing the vehicle
was first presented to council
when they were informed in the
spring that the townships were
buying .the truck and -agreed
with the rural areas that the
town would house and operate
•it.
The expansion was suggested'
for the hall but was deferrid
due to a shortage of funds in the
-
town budget. The fire corn-
were expected to jump to about
$10,000 and up inthe next year.
Committee member Don
Wheeler said that the lack 'of
housing available in the market
today was due largely to tight
money. He said that people are
afraid of financing large
mortgages to step up in housing
and are'willing to stay in their
present house hoping for better
times.
He added that replacement
costs sobn wipe out the money
homeowners receivewhen they
sell their house and they realize
that there is no big profit to be.
made buying and:selling houses

dream house..
John Lyndon told the com-
mittee that present needs for
rental accommodation were
serious without looking into the
future. He said that he now had
28 applications for family units
to be rented and was turning
any nevi applicants away. He
said the rental required by
single people added to that
indicated a real .need for more
rental housing in Goderich.
'nary 'Davidson said that the
future did not indicate relief in
rental problems' He said that
the only apartment building
planned for Goderich was Peter
Brander's which is a year away
from construction" and two
years away from occupation.
"And then it is only 10 units,"
said Mr. Davidson. „

mittee of council recommended
to council that they consider •
storing the old Dodge fire truck
in the public works garage until
next year when expansibn costs
could be budgeted.
Public works chairman Dave
Gower told council that it was
impractical to store the truck in
the'works' garage saying there
was already a shortage of
space in the town garage and
that town equipment that
should be stored inside had to
be left in the parking lot.
Reeve Stan Profit told
council that the new truck had
beeri delivered to the town and
that it was parked in the fire
hall. He said that the trucks are
Cost to economy
factor in arthritis
research push
''Reeent arthritis research
has substantially increased our
knowledge of rheumatoid ar-
thritis, one of the most common
and most severe' types of ar-
thritis," according to Dr, Hugh
Smythe, Chairman of The
Arthritis Society's Medical and
Scientific Committee.
"There are two reasons why
this is important: one because
it is so prevalent and, secondly,
because it can be the most
disabling and deceptive form of
arthritis. In terms of c.ost to the
economy. it far exceeds the
waste of the big killers," he
says.
Rheumatoid arthritis, more
common among women than
men, affects the whole body,
noejust the joints. It may leave
the patient, bedridden, or.
confined to a wheelchair;
unable to walk, unable to write,,
unableto comb her hair or feed
herself.: And she may suffer
intense, "severe pain.
"No matter what the type,
arthritis tends to run a different
course in each of its victims,"
Dr. Smythe points out.
'Fortunately, today there is
help and there is hope. The
Arthritis Society spearheads
the attack on, arthritis. It en-
c ou r a ges governments,
hospitals and the health
prOfessions to play their part in
the conquest of arthritis. . .
"Weare now on'the threshold
of the best arthritis control
program in the western world,"
D.r. 'Smythe continues. "And,
despite the absence ,of a cure,
substantial advances have been
madeand there is effective
treatment. '',
Research and professional
education supported, by the
Society for 1975-76 totals
$1,750,090. The research
program includes a network of
Rheumatic Disease Units,
Associateships, Fellowships
and research grants.
The Arthritis Society's grants
are made to help research
workers •acquire the
technicians, equipment and
supplies necessary for the
prosecution of effective ar-
thritis research. .
jammed into the hall so tight
they reduced the ef ficiency of
the volunteers because of poor
access to equipment.
Council took a break from the
council table to tour the garage
and ended up accepting the
recommendation to expand the
hall. The new wing wiillrinclude
a heavier floor over the area
that now houses the fire
department's committee rbom,
a 10 foot door onto the S.treet, a
reinforced roof and a new
washroom replacing the one
that has to be removed to house
the truck. The new committee
rooms will be in the basement
of the neighboring house just
purchaSed by the town.

Traffic committee chairman
Stan Profit toLd council
Tuesday night thAt he was now
going ahead with the ad-
vertising for a fulltime adult
rdssing guard for Victoria
School. Reeve Profit told
council that he had just
received official word from the
Huron County Board of
Education that they would not
reverse their decision to
disband their .employment ' of
the guards and that the town

recover the $36,000. He said his
firm could not get "Toronto
prices for houses in Goderich':
suggestingthat the extra costs
would be doing nothing for the
small house buyer.
Finance chairman Bill
Clifford told council that he had
no .intention of asking the
taxpayer to pay $20,000 to move
a power line that was working
efficiently the way it is. He
suggested that by doing so the
taxpayer would be "subsici,izing
the developer". .
Mr. Alexander reminded
council of the "linplications of
leaving the line where it is. He
said that the route the line
followed indicated that very
little thought had gone into
planning for the sotithern
portion of the town. . 0- , •
"The 'line should have taken
.,the same route as the sewer"
he said. "The,way it is now it is
something that I am truthfully
,not proud of."
PUC Commissioner Harry
Crane reminded council of the
reasoning behind the route of
the ,line. He explained that
when it was built seven years
ago no 'one in Goderich ex-
pected 'the town to grow the
way it has in the short period of
time.
"You talk, about the future,"
said Mr. Crane. "Maybe in ten '
years the line will -be out of
'place in its,new location."
Bill. Clifford said he was not
convinced that the 'developei•
..couldn't amortize the costs to
move the line. He said that
based on the entire 65 acre
subdivision the costs would be
spread out to about $180 extra
for each of the 200 lots in the
plan.
Council will decide next week
what portion they intend to pay
-- if any at all and the final
decision in the matter will rest
'with Suncoast Estates Limited.
The only agreement, yet to be
reached is the. location of the.
new ,line: Councillor Dave
Gower suggested. Tuesday
night that it may be common
sense to move the line past the,
present town perimeter to
allow' for expansion of the tower
before the line becomes a
problem again.
