significant Polley's
Livery Stable, every
donation, rio matter what
the amount, will help
provide facilities for live
theatre, meeting space,
musical performances,
lectures, workshops,
films, slide shows and
many other activities.
Many people have also
donated equipment that
is required by the Per-
forming Arts Foundation.
Anyone contributing to
the development of the
centre can obtain tax
deductible receipts for
cash donations or for 'the
value of goods or ser-
vices.
A calendar of events
will soon be posted at the
35 South Street building
and we also hope to have
our offices operating
from that building soon.
As noted above, Ron
Shaw sent us a very nice
letter with his donation.
He and his wife Peg are in
Bangladesh as you may
know, and they keep in
touch with the news in
Goderich by their sub-
scription to the Signal -
Star.
We have also had
people from Chatham
and Windsor and other
parts of Ontario who
receive the Signal -Star,
send in theirsubmission
for , our "Name the
Building Contest" as well
as their donations
towards our cause. Your
newspaper is certainly
covering quite an area!
We thank you for your
continued interest in our
project and for your help
in representing ouref-
forts in your newspaper.
To indicate the
provincial significance of
our project, I also enclose
a copy of the article
appearing in the Acorn
magazine last month.
They used the Polley's
Livery Stable building
picture .,,on their cover.
The Architectural
Conservancy of Ontario
received news` of the
plans for the building
through the coverage by
the Goderich Signal -Star
and by contacting local
members bf the Con-
servancy.
Again, thanks to ..all the
staff at the Goderich

Pretty sight
Dear Editor:
There is something I
neglected to mention
some time ago.
Many of us greatly
appreciate the sight of
the early flowers in front
of the Post Office. They
must be among the very
first to bloom in their
nicely sheltered spot and
after the long winter our
senses are so starved for
spring colours that these
bright splashes create a
—pa-r-t-i-calarly intense
sensation of pleasure.
Other people have also
mentioned the Post Office
flowers and I received a
telephone call asking
whether I had seen them.
In all this is a con-
__fir.mation _ that we _ do__
notice the grace and
beauty waiting for us in
many places, small and
big, and I feel pleasure in
being the messenger of
the collective ap-
preciation of many
people.
Please join us this
Saturday morning,at 9:45
in the Court House Park
where a tree (Harlequin
Maple) will be planted in
htinour of Arbor Day.
The Ontario Parks
Association "members

FILM DEVELOPING
vitation of our Parks
Committee to part from
their regular practice
and to hold their April
meeting in Goderich, in
symbolic support of our
Arbor Day efforts and
parks work.
These members, with
the Association President
Roland G. Stannard from
Peterborough, will be
taken on a tour of our
parks and scenic spots,
and they will then par-
ticipate in the tree
planting ceremony on the
Square. Mayor Harry
Worsell and Parks
Chairman, Councillor
John Doherty, will take
part.
It will be the first
Harlequin Maple to be
planted in our parks.
Come and see it planted
and watch it grow.
The Arbor Day
message is not only
"green" it is also
"clean". Spring clean-up
is very much part of the
picture. Cleanliness at all
times is very much our
aim.
I hope I may be
forgiven for addressing a
special appeal to our
business people in all
areas; without their co-
operation we cannot have
a pleasant and attractive
community environment.
There are only five
workers on the Parks
crew for the entire town.
Think of the widespread
areas they have to cover,
to clean them and to keep
them clean, to keep the
grass cut and, as much as
possible, weed -free; to
plant trees and flowers
and to care for them, to
paint and repair, to look
after everything from
sports fields- to purple
martin houses.
Apart from the fact
that it is not their task to
look after private
alleyways and premises,
they cannot possibly keep
the business-related
public areas in the
constant cleanliness we
attempt to achieve, to
make our streets at-
tractive for Ourselves as -
well as visitors whom we
welcome.
I am particularly
referring to the Square
and area sidewalks which
can become messy so
quickly and which the
Parks workers do not find
the time to clean daily.
Most store fronts are
only a few feet wide and it
requires so little of the
owner to sweep it or have
it swept daily plus
picking up bits of papers
whenever necessary. It
makes such a tremen-
dous difference. I notice
particularly how nice the
new sidewalks look, if
they are.kept clean.
As I am among those
who have always
promoted the Square.
area beautification
project, I feel that
perhaps it is not out of
place for me to appeal to
the businessmen for a
little favour in the shape
of co-operation in keeping
our common interest
grounds in attractive
state and good order.
Furthermore, I have a
special appeal to the
businessmen along the
highways which form the
entrances to our town. A
little broom -work, paint
and a few flowers, when
the time comes, do
wonders. When we go to
other places, most of us
notice and later
remember well -kept
areas where the local
people obviously ' take
pride in their everyday
living and surroundings.
Among these
businessmen I most
certainly look in the
direction of service
stations and Suncoast
Mall as well where the
cleanliness of the grounds
is frequently neglected.
And whatever became of
the landscaping
stipulated in the Mall
agreement?
As the Parks co-
chairman I am speaking
on a subject which is of
great concern to me and
to the Parks Committee.
And I just remembered - I
am also a consumer and
customer.
If you have im-
provement suggestions
Mt what we on the Parks
could do, or if you need
ideas for the things you
could do to make and
keep this truly "the
prettiest town'' please do
not hesitate to call.
A pleasant Arbor Day
to all!
Yours, as ever,
Elsa Haydon
Law broken
Dear Editor,
In the days of Moses,
there were times (all too
often sometimes) when
the children of Israel
refused to takethe advice
of their leader. This cost
them_ 40 years of won-
dering. Moses asked his
LEADER what he should.
do and was given the first
law- Thou shalt not! --
After that it was illegal to
disobey these laws - a
very serious offence!
Coming down to the
times of the judges, again
it was considered a very
serious offence to disobey
the law; to commit illegal,
acts against the rulersof
the land; and the judges
showed little mercy to the
offender.
British law was an
example of fairness and
justice to every nation of
the world. It was also
based on the laws that
GOD had given Moses.
Again the offender, the
one to break the law, the
committer of illegal acts,
was an outcast. He lived
in disgrace.
When these people,
accustomed to law and
order, came over to this
land to hew out for
themselves homes, they
first established
Christian churches, and
then, as an outgrowth of
the home and the church,
built on Christian laws
and principles, they
taught their children in
school - again built up
from the same foun-
dation, that of law and
order, love of neighbour,
and most important, love
of GOD.
As time went on, our
grandfathers and then
our fathers., built y, p and
added to these laws;
always building on the
original law, as given by
GOD to Moses; and those
who broke these laws
were held in contempt by
the more decent and law
abiding, people. They
were kn wn as criminals
and law- reakers.
Now, t o of these laws,
voted on, passed, and
established by our
government say, first,
and I quote:
"It is the duty. of a
teacher- ' TO IN-
CULCATE, BY
PRECE T AND
EXAMPLE, RESPECT
FOR REI4IGION AND
THE PRINCIPLES OF
JUDAEO- HRISTIAN
MORALIT , AND THE
HIGHESTI REGARD
FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE°
LOYALTY, I LOVE OF
COUNTRY,
HUMANI'T'Y,
BENEVOLENCE,
SOBRIETY,' INDUSTRY,
FRUGALITY, TEM-
PERANCE, AND
OTHER VIRTUES"
And second':
"EACH ----MORNING-,
SCHOOL WILL BE
OPEN BY , THE
SINGING OF THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM,
READING OF
SELECTED SCRIP-
TURE VERSES, AND A --
PRAYER " OF
UNIVERSAL
CHARACTER (OR THE
LORD'S PRAYER)".
These laws are broken
every day in most of our
schools. Are we
criminals? Are we law
breakers; we, you and I,
who allow this flagrant
flaunting of the law to
continue and say
nothing?
Think it over.

Plan now
Dear Editor:
The wisdom of
Solomon, (which is really
the wisdom of God),
declares: "As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is
he." (Pro. 23:7)
That is to say that if a
man or woman or young
person consistently
thinks proud thoughts, it
will only be a matter of
time until pride will
manifest itself in the
things he says or does.
The same principle
applies to one who thinks
in rebellion, , or per-
version, or per-
missiveness, or
lawlessness, or un -
thankfulness. These are
just a few of the negative
results.
On the other hand, a

man who has been taught
to think humbly, will
result in a humble man,
or one who was taught not
to tell a lie, will end'up a
truthful man.
What is being taught in
our schools today is
making a deep im-
pression on the hearts
and minds of our young
people.
Continual exposure to
the wrong kind of
ideology will turn our
country into a Sodom or
