ACT Business Centre opens on West Street
R.A. Andy Thompson triumphantly raises a piece of ribbon over his
head after Mayor Eileen Palmer snipped the ceremonial ribbon,
opening Thompson and Associates ACT Business Centre on West
Street Friday. Also on hand for the opening of the company'sfirst
retail operation were: Shelley Henry, programmer; Leon Altman,
retail director; Mayor Palmer, Andy Thomspon, Warden Brian
McBurney; Mary Allison, vice-president software support and Bill
Parkinson, marketing representative for Huron. Thompson, who
was born in Goderich and raised in Seaforth, left a food processing
company in 1981 to pursue a career in.data processing and office
administration consultation. He purchased a software company in
Oakville in 1982 and developed distribution and manufacturing
solutions. The business centre specializes in the manufacturing,
distribution, agriculture and retail sectors. On June 15, the
Seaforth Creamery installed one of the company's largest systems.

Nuclear -free declaration is out
of place and time reader argues
Dear editor,
"No Nukes Allowed in Goderich".
The 'Town' Council should not have passed
this motion.
1. Nuclear weapons comewithin the
jurisdiction of the Canadian Department of
,National Defense, not municipal councils.
2. The motion serves no positive purpose
.because: The only nuclear . bombs' about
which we should be concerned are currently
in storage or on-site it Russia and there was
no provision in the motion for notifying the
Kremlin that we do not condone, approve or
even allow the storage or detonation of their
nukes in our town.
3. The motion can serve a negative pur-
pose, as pointed out by Coun. Stringer. It
does convey we message .that we do not
have the materials nor will to defend
ourselves against nuclear attack nor to
retalliate if attacked. Until Mikhail Gor-
bachev putg more substance and glass in his
glasnost (openness) campaign and gives
evidence of w, range in Russian interna-
tional policy it is fool -hardy to reduce our
defenses which are poor enough as it is.
4. Abject helplessness is a useless defense
when you are face ,to face with a confirmed
bully. Check out the record in numerous
eastern European countrie. The most ef-
fective defense lays in being prepared and
appearing to be prepared to do everything
necessary to defend and retaliate if attack-
ed. A friendly giant makes a lot' better part-
ner and ally than a naked defenseless party
UCW opposes capital punishment
Doar°editor,
Concerning the headline; UCW :supports
capital punishment, over a story in the
June 3 edition of the Signal -Star.
,What a surprise to read this headline!
And then to read the article which was in
direct oppostiion to it!
With this letter we wish to inform your
readers that the United Church Women
(UCW ), voting on a resolution at the Lon-
don Conference UCW, do not support the
return of capital punishment by 99 per
cent.
Sincerely,
Jean Hanly
Corresponding secretary, North St. UCW
Editor's Note: Mrs. Hanly is correct.
While•the story outlined the UCW's collec-
tive supportfor a resolution against the
reinstatement of capital punishment, the
headline erroneously suggested the op-
posite. Support for the resolution from the
400 delegates was an overwhelming 99 per-
cent. The Signal -Star regrets the error.
Less litter looks better
Dear Editor:
To all the people responsible, for main-
taining our parks, beaches, flower beds
etc. I would like to congratulate you all for
a job well done. Your efforts go a long way
to making our town truly, "The Prettiest
and don't know
which way to turn, call
Town In Canada."
Our town would look even better, if the
litter -bugs would make an effort to deposit
their litter in the available receptacles.

ready to accept domination.
5. Councillors were not elected to rule on
ephemeral, meaningless nuances and sym-
bols. The exercise, as pointed out by Coun-
cillor Carey, was a virtual waste of council's
time and energies. It was presented as a
motherhood issue, as harmless and
altriastic as declaring Goderich a pot -hole
free zone.
6. This motion should not have been pass-
ed because it may lead to the posting of
signs yet, unadulterated me-tooism!
7. This motion should not have been pass=
ed until we have had an effective iron -clad
non -aggression pact with all potential ag-
gressors and enemies, and in force for' an
extended period of.time. It is out of place in
GQderich and in time.
