to go'hame and I left around
9:30 p.m.
Just past Clinton I realized
what I did. We turned back
with doubts. When we arrived
we could see my wallet. It had
been moved and closed shut.
Everything was there, even
my five dollar bill.
I_ just_ \v to say thank -you
to the honest people in
Goderich. You can be sure I
will be visiting Goderich
again.
-Thank you to the person
who closed my wallet up and
left it.
Very gratefully,

Annual event?
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter in
connection with the skydiving
event held in Goderich. By
this time I hope the people in
the area appreciate the
uniqueness and grandeur of
what has taken place,I also
hope that many had a chance
to meet with some of the
skydivers who came here.
Many have never seen
Canada before. There were
many compliments about the
land and the people who live
on it. The beauty, I'm sure,
will long be remembered by
those who floated over it.
Being the first of its kind
and one of such magnitude
made it difficult to stay on top
• of things, esp. with the late
start at bringing it here, but
just the same it has made a
mark on our Sesquicentennial
by breaking two Canadian
records, not to mention the
excitement 0, witnessing1,537
skydives made by hundreds
of jumpers.
At this time a mention of
some people involved would.
be in order.
I was never really in 20
places at once. What I had
was a walkie talkie, which
amazingly all I had to do was
speak into it and anything I
asked to be done was done.
Behind that unit was a force
of 23 members of the Circle
City CB Club, who, if others
don't know it, worked their
butts off. Their willingness to
do, 'got things thine. Whatever
it be, lost skydivers, pieces of
wood, keeping aircraft in
order, genuine concern over
everyone's safety, they
.pumped out hours of •hard
work, on a strictly volunteer
basis.
In fact the summer is full of
instances where the CB ers
have provided a service not to
be gotten anywhere. Should I
begin to talk of what this new
club has done at the skydiving
show alone would take con-
siderable space. I would like
to express my sincere thanks
to this community -oriented,
valuable, club.
I would also like to, express
thanks to Jim Hayter',s Chev
Olds on behalf of the
skydivers, for donating the
use of his vehicles, along with
those I don't know who took
the effort to retrieve jumpers
from various points in the
county.
Sunset Golf Course
provided the electric golf cart
for the use of one of the people
with a lame leg.
Victoria & Blyth Public
schools supplied stop,. wat-
ches, and very important-;)
Mr. Wayne Young of
Goderich provided us with the
versatile sound system used
during the event.
The Goderich Oldtimers
put forth a concerted effort to
see many details were
handled. I would also til ' the
Town of Goderich to know 1
appreciate the help a.nd
concern throughout to bring
the event here. Any local
merchants who noticed a
sharp increase in revenue
over the weekend may also
thank your town council.
In all, we have hosted the
largest event 'of this nature
ever held in Canada.
Is this going to be an annual
event? Well, you tell me.
Sincerely,
Trace M. Whalen
Waiting
Dear Editor,
Could you please pass this
letter along to whoever in
Goderich is taking care of
Memories of Goderich?
I ordered this book several
months ago, from a clipping
in your paper, and enclosed
my cheque to cover.
Unfortunately I didn't keep
any record of the clipping.
My cheque was taken out of
my cheque book July 6 and
since that time 1 haven't
heard anything of the book
although it has apparently
been published according to
your paper as a copy was
presented to Pauline
McGibbon in July -August.
Could you pass this along to
whomever is responsible or
else give me the name where
I might write personally.
Just tying up loose ends
before I forget. What a
celebration!
Sincerely yours,
Charlotte Gammon,
Windsor.
Editor's Note: The Hon.
Pauline McGibbon received a
promise ,of the book,
Memories of Goderich. Mrs.
McGibbon waits, along with
Ms. Gammon for the actual
book to arrive from the
publisher, probably between
October 15 and November 1
according to latest reports.
Life saver
Dear Editor:
In Huron County we have
found people who have had
.ostomy surgery that would
benefit from information our
group will be providing.
It is not always possible to
reach these people in need
and in publishing this in-
formation you would be of
great help to our fledgling
group.
Notification of our monthly
meetings is vital to our
success and I hope to meet
with someone on your staff
who would be willing to help
me in this effort.
I hope to share this in-
formation with other
newspapers in the county.
Our basic goal is to help
people, whether that be in the
form of moral support or
simply in helping them with
the management of their
appliance.
Ostomy surgery . is per-
formed to save a life and give
that person a second chance.
I myself have had an
ileostomy for ten years and
am grateful for each one of
those years. _....
Yours truly,
Penny A. Pelss,
Clinton
Color trip'
Dear Editor:
For umpteen -eleven years I
have thought of making use of
the Signal -Star to tell
readers, who may not know of
some of the places mentioned
below, about a "Cavalcade of
Colour" trip that they might
like to take in north Huron in
the corning weeks.
When I mention these
places to many local people I
am amazed at their lack of
knowledge of our county. Last
autumn, as I had done with
others for many years, I
guided a party of out-of-town
friends to a few of the scenic
spots I mention, and they all
were so delighted with the
tour that I was urged to let
people know about
more
them.
Begin your "Journey of
Discovery" with a drive to
Benmiller to the . old
schoolhouse (now the
Foresters hall), driving past
it to Stewart's hill, admiring
the long sweep of the
Maitland valley as you
descend. Turn left towards
the store and continue east to
the second sideroad, thence
north past the Little Lakes to
Good's Hill from where the
peaceful village of ` Auburn
can he seen. This hill has a
elevation of approximately
1,000 feet and is one of the
most picturesque spots in all
of Huron.
Doubling back to the Little
Lakes turn left towards Ball's
bridge, then left again to the
first corner. This is the
Maitland block and in any
time of the motoring season is
well worth seeing. This road
will bring one back to the
Auburn road so turn left
again, drive into the village
and take the first sideroad
north (the Whitechurch road)
turning right at the fourth
corner towards Belgrave,
thence left again at the first
corner. This road parallels
the river for a goodly distance
and affords a fine view of the
Maitland. Now watch for the

second sideroad and at the
corner to your right is
Sutherland's Mountain. You
can drive up it you don't mind
a rough road, or get out and
hoof it up. The view is
spectacular; on a clear day
one can see the R.C. church
and the CKNX-TV tower at
Formosa.
From there, get lost, it's the
best ,way to discover as you
wend your way home. I would
recommend, though, that
lovely woodland trail past
Hodge's chopping mill on the
Nine Mile river just west of
Dungannon. I have often
stood on that rather ancient
bridge when the woods have
been "on fire" with colour,
and always have I left
reluctantly.
Ono final suggestion. Never
go for a drive with the back
seat of your car unoccupied.
There are many Senior
Citizens and residents of our
hospitals and nursing homes
who would enjoy a few hours
away from their present
surroundings and would bless
you for thinking of them. "All
that we send into the lives of
others comes back into our
own".
Happy motoring, and many
happy memories!
Sincerely,
Ernie Barker.
Watch out
for children
Dear Editor,
We are well into the 1977-78
school year now. The
evidence of this is seen each
school day, morning and
afternoon, when the large
chrome yellow school buses
use our highways to transport
our children to and from
school. The precious load
these vehicles carry- is the
most important thing in most
of our lives, yet we, as
motorists, still endanger their
lives.
It seems even in our remote
county, free of the large city
type hustle -bustle, we still
have most motorists rushing
on our highways, many times
to go nowhere in particular,
over the speed limt. They find
it°annoying to wait behind a
school bus taking on or
discharging our children.
People who are annoyed at
being slowed down by a
school bus or any other slow
moving vehicle on the high-
way, including sightseeing
motorists, get frustrated
especially when oncoming
traffic leaves' not quite
enough room to pass this
dawdling vehicle. Dangerous
Dear Readers.........
• from page' 4
young folks would stay out of
trouble just to avoid the
courts.
One suggestion I put forth
in that editorial was that
instear1 of a fine for making
unnecessary noise, the
punishment might be to have'
the offender travel around
The Square quietly, perhaps
on his or her hands and knees,
for all the world to see.
The editorial also pointed
out that while this kind of
punishment was impossible
to expect in a court of law, it
was too bad that some kind of
an example uldn_ 't be made
of people w were per-
sistently in court for one thing
and another.
I met Judge Hays on the
street a few weeks later. In
his usual gentlemanly style,
he tipped his hat and smiled
that knowing smile of his. He
said he understood what I was
trying to get at in my
editorial, even though in his
opinion it was a kind of
)mockery of the judicial
system in the country.
I assured Judge Hays I did
not intend to be disrespectful
of the courts, nor of the men
and women who handed down
decisions in the courts.
He said, ever so quietly and
politely that he knew what I
meant and that he fully
agreed that conventional
punishments were not always
the best solution to problems.
Then he tipped his hat again
and walked away.
Truly there was a man
whose aim it was to mete out
sentences designed to reform
individuals.
+++
And finally, about one
month before the Judge's
death, I was chatting with a
riend about a recent incident
in the district, and the fact
that while the police can
bring someone into court it is
really the decision of the
court as to how that matter
will be disposed of.
My friend said, with full
conviction, that when a case
came before Judge Hays it
was certain that he would
give full consideration to all
the evidence before him and
hand down a just decision. It
was clear that if Judge Hays
could be convinced of the
guilt of a person, he was
unafraid to order a severe
penalty if it was indicated
while at -the sante time being
ready to "go the extra mile"
in some instances where such
a decision would be
beneficial.
And after all, isn''-t, that the
ultimate goal of every man -
to make his mark in his own
field and to be remembered
as having done his job,' with
dedication and devotion?
' Judge H. Glenn Hays° left a
legacy to many people - a
legacy of understanding and
Perforyn a
death -defying
act.

chances are then taken to get
around the vehicle sometimes
causing head on collisions,
people being forced off the
road, and even passing on the
right (driving off onto the
shoulder). If this slow moving
vehicle was a school bus,
think of the little people who
would be injured or killed.
One of them may be your son
or your daughter.
In an effort to reduce the
possibility of a school bus
accident, we encourage all
motorise. to think of the
previous cargo carried by the
school bus.
PLEASE don't take your
frustrations out on our
children.
Most school bus drivers try
to accommodate motorists by
pulling onto a hard shoulder
to allow the motorists behind
room to pass and not cause a
build up of traffic.
Everyone should un-
derstand that when a school
bus' alternating red lights are
flashing and the school, bus is
still moving, the lights are a
warning to you that the bus is
about to stop. You don't have
to make •a nose dive panic
stop but may pass with
caution watching for children
at all times, BUT when the
bus is stopped with its
alternating lights flashing,
consideration. He will be
remembered by men and
women from all walks of life
for many, many wonderful
reasons.
