And send this wag.on, on its wa,
says citizen who adores town
Dear editor,
It would appear that the in thing today is
to make comments about the Royal Bank
versus- Laird's Hot Dog wagon, so I make
mine.
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.
James Eric Kirk
A citizen who adores
the prettiest town.

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
