GODERICH TOWNSHIP - Council here
have offer d their financial support to the
tune of $I, I . I, to Foodland-Hydro Route Pro-
gram..
Evert Ridder and George Thompson met
with council on May 20 to discuss the work of

quest financial backing.

established by concerned citizens fin Huron,
Bruce and Middlesex Counties to in-
vestigate proposed Ontario Hydro.
transmission corridor routes from the
Bruce Nuclear Power Development to Lon-
don.
Concern about the proposals continues to
rise in the counties as municipalities and
andowners contemplate that their
griculturally rich soil could be used to sup-
port a hydro line, when a viable alternative
route is available where less productive
land would be used.
Goderich Township Council has officially
voiced their opposition to the proposed
hydro lane which would run through the
municipality, and have suggested that the
alternative route be used.
The Foodland-Hydro committee is work-
ing to voice public concern and the organiza-
tion reports that the membership continues
to swell as canvassers criss-cross
municipalities in Huron, Bruce and Mid-
dlesex.
The interest accuniulatin1 an (Iona. ions
made to Foodland-Hydro is paying for the
expenses of the organization to date. No ma-
jor expenses are foreseen in the imide+'ate
future, and the bulk of the money collected
will be available for professional expertise
ata ter date.

be available for public use dui ing the 1-5-0
celebrations. It will be removed immediate-
ly after the July event.

Summer in
By Helen Owen
In Bayfield the signs of summer become
more and more apparent each week, and
already Main Street has become a busy
thoroughfare°thronged with pedestrians and
choked with cars. Despite the more than
adequate parking on Clan Gregor Square
the tendency persists to park all along the
street or in the roads leading off! This year
the stores have increasedin number and
there is much to attract visitors; beautifully
displayed and very tempting.
June also promises some interesting
events as revealed by the Calendar. 8th

unnamed company.
"It's a complex situation and it will be a
while before the whole . situation will
unravel. We don't even know the name of
the company; we're dealing through an in-
termediary," said Mayor Palmer.
Goderich Township Council discussed the
proposal at length at their May 20 meeting,
and agreed that they won't object to the an-
nexation, provided that the land will be sole-
ly used for industrial purposes, and that all
the expenses incurred with the annexation
will be paid by the Town of Goderich.
Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling
said that since the township could not afford
to service an industry, the municipality
would be willing to annex the 45.5 acres to
the town. But, he said, he does not want to
give the land to the town if it isn't going to be
used.
"They (Goderich council) didn't plan the
industrial park well. The land is optioned
and sitting idle," h • said.

Special organizing team
Special events unquestionably require
special people to organize them. The 1-5-0
celebration in Goderich Township definitely
required a team of committed and en-
thusiastic individuals. In November of 1982
the Township Council called a public
meeting to gauge the interest hrrecognizing
the anniversary of 150 years of incorpora-
tion. At that meeting Gerry Ginn was asked
to chair the 1-5-0 Executive Committee.
After much thought he agreed to accept the
challenge and was allowed to choose the
committee members. Pat Rivett became
the secretary, Bev Orr served as treasurer,
and the three directors were: Reeve Grant
Stirling representing council, Garnet .
Wright representing the recreation board
ari"Alison Lobb representing the history
book subcommittee.
Reeve Stirling said the chief reason for
polling the interest of the residents was
council's desire to have a Township history
book written. It was intended that informa-
tion then could be gathered by a subcommit-
tee if people were enthused. He felt the 1-5-0
Executive Committee's responsibility was
to coordinate • the sesquicentennial ac-
tivities.
This six -member group has been meeting
once a month since 1982 and for the last few
months they have been getting together
every 'two weeks. They have assisted in haV-
ing an' event every month so far this year.
Chairman Ginn stated that the committee
Business and
Professional Directo
WELDING
chose chairpersons for all subcommittees
and let that person pick as many people as
necessary for assistance. The Executive
have great confidence in the chairpersons
and let them operate freely. Many ' of the
ideas for the events were selected from the
numerous committees and people who had
contacted them.
In their capacity as 1-5-0 coordinators,
they had recommended that the Township
have official colours. Today green and white
are now those colours. They also recom-
mended that someone be at the Township
Office in the Community Centre so the
public could get information about 1-5-0 •
events or township matters. It is now open
on Wednesday from 1:00 - 5:00 and on Satur-
day from 10:00 - 1:00. They hope this will be
used by the public.
Chairman Ginn stated he felt his job was
to harness the Township talent to form a
team. He increasingly is amazed at the
breadth and depth of Township talent he en-
counters and how willing most are to asssist
whenever asked. He clearly anticipates a
profit from the 1-5-0 events and the money is
to be used to establish adequate washroom
facilities at the Township Ball Park.
Reeve Stirling concluded that interest in
theactivities was greater than expected and
that cooperation has been good. He looks op-
timistically forward to the July 1-5-0 week
that the Executive Committee has coor-
dinated.
