That is where you get, your knowledge," said Vickie Crooke bf Goderich, who celebrated her 102 birthday, Sunday. Mrs: Crooke was born May 24, 1885 in Clinton and has travelled .and lived throughout Europe and England. Her hus- band, Alvin, passed aw:ay several years ago.

When asked what was the most amazing thing she has seen during he life, she at first appeared confused by the question. I thought airplanes were pretty amazing when they' first came out, but then they started having accidents, she said.

Hearings on abandonment considered The Canadian Transport Commission has informed Goderich Town Council it is considering holding public' hearings into the proposed abandonment by Canadian Pacific CCP ) Rail, of the Guelph to Goderich portion of its line. The railway is considering abandoning rail service in this area, because of a drop in usage in recent years. Goderich Town Council has received several letters from local industries, informing them of their objection to the proposed abandonment. The Railway Transport Committee is in the process of determing if the branch line in question is uneconomic and should be a bandoned. In arriving at this decision, the commit- tee must take into consideration all mat- ters that, in its opinion are relevant to the public interest, including: effect on ship- pers served by –the line, alternative transportation facilities, existing or poten- tial resources of the area arid probable future transportation needs. Under the Railway Act, the committee may, if it deems necessary, hold a public hearing in the area served by the subject branch line. A determination on that has not yet been made, but council has inform- ed the committee it wishes to participate in any hearings which may be held. ib Separ te The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board authorized its Superintendent of Business' and Finance, Jack Lane, to proceed with the board's re- quest to the Ministry of Education for the new additons to St..
