Councillor Haydon went on to say that some citizens had questioned her about the demolition of the brick house at the corner of Britannia Road and Highway 21 south (Bayfield ,Road). She said those who had spoken to her had suggested it would have been wiser to rent the house until closer to the time when construction begins on the new intersection. Councillor Gower was more optimistic.

She was opposed to a suggested change which would not require a candidate to List his or her occupation. Mayor Deb Shewfelt said that in a small town `like Goderich, most people knew all the candidates - and if they didn't, it wasn't difficult to findout what they wanted to know about them. Haydon said she didn't like to leave such things "to gossip and hearsay", adding that it was much more business- like to have this information provided by the candidate for the public when he or she was seeking elec- tion. perative to get it settled since Haydon also said she had residents in the Delbar sent her own personal subdivision are waiting for reactions •to MPP Jack some action on their drainage Riddell concerning the act, problems. but was surprised that No action was taken on council as a group was not Allen's suggestion although formulating a statement for some heads nodded in Mr. Riddell's consideration. agreement as he spokee.

Howell called -the Signal-Stan.e lee -this week to say that residents of Goderich should be grateful to the skunks in town who are digging up the lawns, and eating the white grubs beneath the soil. According to "Mary, the white grubs there now are next year's crop of June bugs. "And judging from the number of holes in my yard," says Mary, "there would have been a plague of June bugs next `spring if it wasn't for the skunks." Mary also feels the skunks are "quiet little things" and "if you don't bother Ahem, they won't bother you."
