The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-11-23, Page 5Thanks
Dear Editor,
I wish to thank the
Signal -Star staff for their
fine coverage of high
school football this year.
On many occasions
Joanne Buchanan, Dave
Sykes and Jeff Seddon
have braved the cold and
wet weather to get the
pictures we have seen in
past weeks. I know that
the boys who play the
game and the coaches
appreciate your efforts.
One can't mention your
football coverage without
sincere thanks to "T.D."
for the many hours of
writing he does on our
behalf. I know that our
school sports program
would -not get the ex-
cellent coverage it does
without the extra effort of
so many people.
Yours truly,
Bill Garrow
No brother
Dear Editor,
To Whom it may
Concern: No — I do not
have a brother. .
Walter Mcllwain is my
cousin and I'm proud of
it. Everett is my father.
Stanley (known to me as.
Uncle Bill and to some
others as "Mac") is
Walter's father.
I am sure you have it
all straightened out now
as to who belongs to
whom.

Dear Editor,
In April 1862 a young
man from Goderich,
Alexander Robertson,
left on an overland
journey to British
Columbia's .Cariboo
goldfields. He was about
25 years- old, ,; a - civil
engineer and reportedly
the son of the Goderich
gaol keeper.
Robertson joined a
group called the
OverlanderS of '62 and
GEAR EDITOR
made his way across
Canada to the head-
waters off the Fraser
River. There, he and a
few companions made
canoes and set out on the
turbulent flow.
Alexander was one who
did not make it. He died
on September 2 from
drowning.
His companions all
wrote about him,
remarking on what a fine
young man he was.
I am writing a book on
this group of men and
would 'like to find out
more about Robertson
and his family, and,;'his
overland companions. In
this book, I am anxious to
give as much information
as possible on each in-
dividual, for they should
be recorded as'Jmore than
names on a list.
As your newspaper has
been publishing since
before that period, I am
wondering if you or any of
your readers, might have
information on Alexander
Robertson or his family. I
am looking for anything I
can find in the way off
letters, clippings,
obituary notices, family
stories and memories.
If you or your readers
do have information, I
would appreciate hearing
from them. Any material
I receive will be
photocopied and returned
-promptly.
Please contact me at:
549 Ioco Road, Port
Moody, B.C. V3H2W3.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely
Richard Wright
Take care
Dear Editor,
The latter part of
November and the month
of December are exciting
times for most. With
Christmas coming,
there's the shopping to do
for those special people;
the -secrets kept from the
children and the an-
-t'ticipation caused by
them.
Parties are a part ofthe
season also. At children's
parties, soda pop i5
served and at adult
parties, silly pop is
served and the end result
is that you can't tell the
children from the adults
except for size. It's good,
psychiatrists tell us, to
act like kids once and a
while - it relieves tension
etc.
Driving at this time of
the year iss a little dif-
ferent also. Considering
the number,of parties and
how they leave us, it's not
too difficult to see why
accidents increase with
more people out for
Christmas shopping and
partying.
Next comes the
unhappy times of the
Christmas -New Years
season for those involved
in accidents and their...
family members. Picture
yourself involved in an
accident (because it
could happen). You are
put in a hospital or a
funeral home. Was the
party worth all this? How
would your family feel -or
end up?
You are arrested for
impaired driving. Your
licence is automatically
suspended for a
minimum of three
months with a possible
$1,000 fine or a jail term
or both.
All of these things are
real and happen every
day but more so during
the holiday season.
From the Ontario
Provincial Police, hav
good safe holiday. Don't
mix alcohol with driving
and risk your life or
someone else's. Watch
out for the other guy.
