Writers urge Goderich residents to write
to Mayor concerning need for aquatic centre
Dear Editor,
The Aquatic Centre Committee
presented Goderich Town Council with a
realistic plan for an indoor pool complex.
Their recommendation was based upon an
extensive study by an experienced consul-
tant. His report indicated broad support
for such a complex from all age groups.
Young and old alike indicated that year-
round swimming was a high priority
recreation activity that they would like to
see available in our fine town. Such
facilities are available in many other
cimilar ci7Arl tnwnc

Goderich Town Council " received" the
report at their meeting on October 5, 1987.
They took no action on the report. They did
not refer it to one of their committees to
study feasibility and financing. This in
reality means that Council has decided to
reject an aquatic centre tor the Town of
Goderich.
If you feel our community would benefit
from an aquatic complex, please write or
speak to the Mayor or the Town Coun-
cillors. Ask them to reconsider their deci-
sion and at least refer the report to their
committee structure for feasibility and
financial study. Letters to the Mayor or the
Town' Councillors may be addressed c/o:
Town of Goderich, 57 West St., Goderich,
Ont. Telephone 524-8344.
Sincerely
Jim and Leslie Rourke
Voluntarism from the heart
Dear Editor:
"Voluntarism is an action straight from
the heart, a way of forging links between
people, a way of guaranteeing greater
humanity and a solid foundation for
civilization and social innovation". We can
all agree with these words of Patricia
Fulton, President of the Canada Volunteer
Award, National Selection Committee.
Each year Federal Health & Welfare
Canada search in all 'communities to honor
individuals who have made a remarkable
and continuing contribution in promoting
health and socialservices in thAir rnm-
munity. They need your help!
I was fortunate to receive this award in
1984, thanks to the Goderich Legion for
submitting my name. That year most of
the recipients were from rural
communities.
The selection committee is uniquely
made from the volunteer sector across
Canada and give careful consideration to
each nomination. I have a copy of the ap-
plication form for this award, and would
welcome calls regarding the criteria in-
volved for submitting a name. Nomina-
tions must be submitted to the Canada
Volunteer Award Secretariate before
December 1 each year. Voluntary
organizations, community groups, in-
dividuals interested in submitting a
nomination, please write to the
Secretariate, Department of National
Health & Welfare, Brooke Claxton
Building, Rm. 534, Tunney's Pasture, Ot-
tawa, Ontario K1A OK9.
Writer seeks info on agriculture movement
Dear Editor:
"Save Agriculture - Save Canada", is a
headline that could well have been taken
from any current paper. It wasn't. It ap-
peered in the Weekly Sun in 1933.
This slogan was the basis for the forma-
tion of a grotip known as The New Canada
Movement. At that time, it was felt, the
grave situation facing agriculture in
Canada was a challenge to the youth of
rural areas to awaken and do something
about it.
During the winter of 1933, counties such
as .yours, were "stormed", in more ways
than one. Working through one of the bit-
terest winters on record, The New Canada
Movement swept through county after
county, gaining a membership of 7021
farmers. '
Were you part of this -event? Do you have
any recollections of meetings or people in-
volved? If you do, your input is urgently
