The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-12-03, Page 5WI donates
X500 to hospital
The Goderich Women's Institute had a
rich legacy of service and dedication to
service work in the town of Goderich for 75
years.
While it served the community for over,
seven decades, last year the WI was forced
to disband because of a dwindling
membership.
Before the dissolution of the service
group, the WI made donations to several
worthy projects in town including a $500
donation to Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital.
President Mrs. George Morley and
secretary, Elizabeth Sitter made the
presentation to administrator Ken
Englestad late last year and the money,
which was, initially to be used for equip-
ment purchases, has been added to the
fund to purchase a new surgical
microscope for the hopsital.
The microscope, which costs about
$10,000 is needed to enable medical staff to
perform certain types of ear surgery on
children.

Expense account system to be reviewed
The administrative committee will
review the proceedure for handling ex-
pense vouchers, submitted by town
employees and representatives for ex-
penses incurred while out-of-town on of-
ficial business„ at their next meeting.
The matter was reffered to committee
after Counc. Jim Searls had raised the
question of receipts at several recent coun-
cil meetings. Searls' concern centres on a
recent Municipal Police Association con-
vention, for which some expenses were
paid before receipts were submitted.
Park damaged
Optimist 1'ark nias ween eiiecLiveiy tius-
ed to traffic by the installation of a row of
ceciar posts. Parks Superintendent Peter
Spain informed the Parks and Waterfront
Committee recently that great damage
has occurred in the park from motor
vehicles- spinning tires in the grass field
and driving up and down the hill.
The committee is also considering wor-
ding of a "No Tobagganing" sign for the
park.
Service revamped
Though no official memorial service for
the sailors who lost their lives in the storm
of November 1913 was held this year, a
new format for the service has been decid-
ed upon for the future. Deputy Reeve John
Doherty and Parks Superintendent Peter
Spain laid a wreath at the Unknown
Sailor's grave on Nov. 9.
Community News
In the future, the service will be a simple
one, held on Nov. 9, with an invited padre.
Service times will be advertised in ad-
vance and interested parties will be
welcome to attend.
Support resolution
Goderich Town Council supported a
resolution at the Nov. 24 meeting from the
Villllage of Millbrook, petitioning the
Ministry of Citizenship and Culture to ex-
tend the Bulding Rehabilitation and Im-
provement Campaign (BRIC) beyond Dec.
'31,1986.
BRIC's mandate is the conservation and
preservation of the history of communities
through building rehabilitation and
improvements.
Reciprocal insurance
The Adminsitrative Committee of
Goderich Town Council will consider the
idea of Municipal Reciprocal Insurance, a
self-insurance program for municipalities,
at the first committee meeting in
December.
In reaction to high municipal insurance
rates, the provincial government has
,agreed to allow municipalites to form thier
own reciprocali insurance exchange.
Under the proposed arangement, said a
letter to council from Slade Insurance
Brokers Inc., Kincardine, municipalites
would control, administer and finance
their own program without involvement
from insurance companies, at least for the
first $1 million of all liabilities.
'lour Champion
Mayor Eileen Palmer and members of
Goderich Town Council have accepted an
invitation to tour the Champion Road
Machinery plant, in Goderich, at a conve-
nient time yet to be agreed upon.
Champion exended the invitation to the
council in honor of the company's 100th an-
niversary of operation.
Reflective edges
Three patrons of the Huron County
Public Library have requested a reflective
edge be painted on the outside steps of thelibrary. They have found it difficult to
judge the depth of the steps at night and
are concerned that they, or others, may
fall.
Town Council has referred the request to
the Goderich Works and Property Com-
mittee, with power to act.
Also referred to the works committee
with .power to act was a petition signed by
11 residents and business people in the
area of The Square, requesting the town in-
stall a street light on an existing pole in the
alleyway behind the Bank of Montreal.
"This alleyway is extremely dark and
certainly not safe for anyone to use at
night," said the petition.
