THOWOE OF THE WEENIE WAGON (GODERICH, THE PRETTIEST TOWN LN CANADA) Silently I have applauded the renovations around the square 4 As to our theme they have added without despair All except one and that's the weenie wagon I must declare I wonder when the other merchants will take a dare And beautify their places so that we all can cheer Or are they waiting for the weenie wagon to move some year. LETTER This morning I see the town employees busi- ly cleaning the square Of paper that has blown from here to there and I am reminded that the weenie wagon has been selling its wares. Crowds of people around the corner at night I see And I'm glad competition has allowed another bank to be Down the street, where I desposit my money with relief For I truly do not want any beef. The weenie wagon as a wonderful event tip town council doth see , .• • And yet only one such enterprise doth theY let tube Which makes one wonder if a discount th4Y itceive When they entertain dignitaries who ' ever they might be. Our new tourism director, I hope, has not yet noted this woe t Or he will probably promote this tale to every Mary and Joe So let us quickly get back to our theme of the day And send this wagon on its way.

Mary Lou Aubin The Daffodil Committee Goderich Lioness Club Wear a carnation for MS May 10 and 11 Dear editor, One of the advantages we have as Cana- dians is the opportunity to help make our communities better places to live through participation in voluntary organizations. One volunteer group that is trying to make a fundamental change is the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada which is work- ing to eradicate multiple sclerosis, a poten- tially crippling disease that strikes men and women in the prime of life. By supporting the MS Society's Carnation Day campaign on May 10 and 11, we can all help. Proceeds from the campaign help support medical research and to service programs that assist the people who have multiple sclerosis and their families. Remember on May 10 and 11, "Make a donation...wear a carnation". Chairman thanks riders in Bike-a-thon Dear editor,. • On Sunday April 28 at 2:00 p.m. the Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Goderich sponsored the great bike-a-thon for cancer. , This year there were 66 riders registered with over $3,000 being pledged. These numbers would liftbably have been higher, but I'm sure that the cold breeze experienc- Bicycles should be licensed in case ed on Sunday kept some people at home. On behalf of the Kinsmen and Kinette. Clubs of Goderich I would personally like to thank all the participants and local mer- chants that contributed in making this year's ride a success. My hope is that next year we can raise -more money for this very worthwhile event. Just for comparison - Woodstock had the' same number of riders but raised $5,100,00 versus our $3,000.00. Something to think about for the next year. Yours sincerely, • Jed DeJong Chairman Bike-a-thon '$5 • • they're stolen to help police officers .
