A statistical report from the Ontario
Mlnbtry of Tourism and Recreation
suggests that the Goderich tourist, booth is
the busiest among 15 towns and cities in
the Southwestern Ontario region.
During the period from June 20 to
September 5, 1083, 7,479 people visited the
Goderich Tourist Information Centre on
Victoria Street near the five -points in-
. Stratford ranked second among
the 15 municipalities with tourist booths
with 8,303 inquiries made there while
Grand Bend, with 5,238 o sits, raked
ked
third. Windsor, Leamingt
and Clinton ranked fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh respectively oh the list.
The statistics were ,compiled from
figures received from each tourist booth.
On average, 3,356 tourists visited tourist
booths in Southwestern Ontario in any

The Bluewater Centre is the second of
six regional centres for the develop-
mentally handicapped in the province to
be rwlosed as part of the Ministry of
Community and Social Services five-year
deinstitutionalization' plan. The St.
Lawrence Centre in Brockville has
already closed and the St. Thomas Adult
Rehabilitation and Training Centre is
scheduled to close.
The Bluewater Centre, however, will be
converted to a regional detention facility
for young offenders. Prov incial Secretary
for Justice, Gord Walker, made that an-
nouncement at a special press conference
here in September, claiming that
"millions of dollars" would be spent
Brookside broadcast
converting the centre to a regional
detention centre.
The Young Offenders Act was passed by
the federal government in 1982 but cost-
sharing agreements between the federal
and provincial governments has delayed
its implementation. The Act will be
proclaimed April 1, 1984 and the province
must be in a position to house young of-
fenders April 1, 1985.
"The regional detention centre will be a
long-term facility catering to young of-
fenders requiring incarceration from 90
days to 15 months. The centre will house
both male and female offenders.
While extensive renovation and con-
struction will be required to convert the
centre, the actual expenditure has not
been released.
Students visit the bush
On Monday, November 7, Mrs. Carroll's
class went on a walk to the bush at the back
of the school grounds. They found little
puffballs, cones, leaves and many interest-
ing things.
On November 11, there was a Remem-
brance Day assembly where the junior choir
sang and poems and stories were read. The
students watched a film called Beyond the
Beach. During the last post the flags were
raised by Jean McWhinney and Koreen
Jurjens.
Grade 7 and 8 went to the Lucknow
Cenotaph and laid a wreath for the school.
Zehrs tape boxes were made and judged.
For the seniors, Mrs. Graham's class won

Junior- winners were, first, Mrs. Blanch-
ette's class and second. Mrs. Worsell's
class.
Mr. Liddle's class is doing a series on Tom

Calgary. They are also doing a, research
project on World War I.
Student's Council toothbrush sales are
moving along smoothly.
Mrs. Blanch'ette's class made paper
puppets this week.
Donald, Tricia and Penny Holmes are
moving away and Mrs. Cameron's class had
cake and ice cream as a farewell party for
Donald.
Mrs. Young's class is reading their first
reader to Mr. Jewitt, and are also studying
about animals and people getting ready for
winter.
Mrs. Allen's class went to the bush and put
bird feeders in the trees. Mrs. Ross went
along with them.
Mrs. Blake, librarian, chose the library
assistants and they are helping her slip
books and do other various jobs.
Mrs. Graham arranged for Dr. Catherine
Mowbray, Lucknow dentist, to speak to the
students in the 7 - 8 classes during Career
Week.

In a prOinton brochure, the Ministry of
Tourism nittr presents a profile
of four- communities; Niagara Falls,
Stratford, Grand Bend and Goderich. The
report suggests that Goderich has as many
as 115,000 tourists annually spending $4.3
million,
"Of the $4.3 million spent by tourists in
Goderich, $2.6 million accrues to the town
in the form of profit, salaries and wages to
tourism related businesses.
"The town benefits from $432,000 in
municipal tax revenues from tourism
related businesses which is over 11 times
greater than the • $38,000 the town con-
tributes to the promotion of the industry,"
erich
the report stated.
By comparison, the report says the city
off Stratford spends $97,000 on tourism
which attracts 903,000 tourists annually
who spend over $42 million. Grand Bend
spends $75,000 on tourism to attract 457,000
visitors annually who spend $11 million. ,f
One consulting firm estimated that over
$2 billion was expended on tourism in the
Southwestern Region of Ontario in 1981.
Tourism in the region accounts for over 12
per cent of the area's employment.
Tourism is an industry that has become
an integral part of the development of On-
tario and reports suggest tourism may be
the province's leading industry by the end
of the century.
The economic effect of tourism spending
is much greater than the mere effect of
direct purchase of goods and services.
Parents concerned for daughter's safety
The possibility of poor weather conditions
during winter months has June and Arnold
Meader concerned about the safety of their
daughter attending Grade one at Brookside
Public School in Ashfield Township.
Mrs. Meader of R.R. 3 Goderich spoke on
Nov. 7 to the Huron County Board of Educa-
tion regarding her 'concern for their
daughter Sandra.
"The road we live on often has high snow
banks on each side of the road and we also
have strong winds along the lake. This com-

Meader.
The Port Albert mother also pointed out
that Sandra was picked up at her home last
year because of a board policy which per-

added that the bus will have to travel the ex-

Tourism spending has a rippling and
multiplied effect which genera in-
comes, jobs and new services. .
In 1 i 1, tourism was Ontario's second
largest industry, second to the automobile
industry in terms of expo dollars. i that
same year, tourist spending gr to
$8.7 billion with a ripple effect of over $14.7
billion.
While the tourist industry created an
estimated 541,000 person years of em-
ployment in the province in 1981, or 13 per
cent of the jobs, the impact of the tourist
dollar is felt immediately in the local area.
The ministry says that Ontario, through
a concerted promotional campaign and
conscientious effort on the part of
municipalities and tourist organizations, is
now the number one vacation spot in
Canada.

The board approved turning the matter
over to the management committee which
deals with transportation.
"I would like to point out that the board
has a policy regarding this situation," com-
-mented trustee John Jewitt, noting that this
policy has been considered fair in the past.
The policy referred to includes the provi-
sion for kindergarten students.
"I hope the management committee,
while looking at this, will keep the policy in
mind," added trustee Jewitt.
