Round 'n About
,—' With Martha
The flowerbeds around
town have been just
beautiful, now at their
peak, it is 'hard to
describe them but the
Parks Committee should
have a special "thank
you" for a big job well
done.
- Our Huge, black tree at
the corner of Elgin
Avenue and South Street
has been getting a lot of
attention this year. More
and more people have
mentioned to me that
they have been taking
notice. of its many shades
off dark colors during the
summer. Now it is getting
lighter in color and soon it
will be back to the color
that appears early in the
spring - well, close to the
color.
Sunday we discovered
a fine park in Stratford -
probably well known to a
lot of you but we had not
seen it before. It is
Confederation Park -
behind Kroehler Fur-
niture factory and the art
gallery - it was the Roth-
man Gallery some years
ago.
A triangle of property
and a chunk of waste land
along side the railroad
tracks was turned into a
beautiful park. Huge
stones from along. Lake
Huron - they sure look
like the ones you see from
35 miles and farther north
of Goderich - anyway
they were piled up nicely,
a fountain bubbles out of
the centre and the flowers
and ivy were just
beautiful.
The pond at the base
had a dead spot - that
wasn't pretty as were
some maple (I think)
trees nearby. The trees
were badly infested with
a fungus or something
that just gave one' »the
shivers. I hope it never
reaches our town - and I
hope that Stratford Parks
Board does something
about it soon.
You cannot compare
our town with the city of
Stratford. I think they
too, must have a very
good •parks board
because it really is
wonderful. wherever you
drive around town, there
are little bright spots and
little parks and patches
at street corners which
bring good remarks from
everyone.
It will be wonderful
when the rest of the brick
sidewalks are finished
around The .Square.
Everyone, lately, agrees
that our Square is greatly
improved and with its
flowers and trees it
certainly helps to make
Goderich one of the
prettiest towns . in
Canada.
Now that the Bayfield
Road project is finished
you can't help but say
"Isn't this great?" It is
fantastic the way the
projects all over town
have been pushed
through and there is no
job that appears to be a
patchy - will -have -to-do
job such as has often had
to be done. Oh my aching
taxes! But we have
deserved this „ - we've
waited for years for these
repairs and im-
provements and the
councils s h
ave
been
n
pushi g towards this
upheaval for years and
years.
The present council
gets the thank-yous but
the past councils tried
and :tried and helped to,
bring this big job to a
final beginning and
finish.
So...with our new roads
and streets, our lovely
flowers, trees and color
everywhere I believe
more people, instead of
pushing on, will stop and
see our nice town.
I'd like to see a
billboard at the outskirts
of the town showing our
Square's unique design
and listing some of. the
• special sites to view.
I think the signs we
have up now on entrances
to the, town are good - but
the big ones need to be out
farther - about a mile so
that
"You
are
about
to
enter one of the prettiest
towns in Canada" will
make tourists take
notice, give them time to
think and,talk about this
stop they hadn't planned
on and. give them a
pleasant memory of a
very nice little town.
Of course it is too late
this season to act on this
but the five month winter
should be lots of time to
get this done. Nick Hill
Martha Rathburn
will know what I have in
mind - just ask him. I
think he is a GREAT
planner -- don't you?
Don't forget the Rotary
paper drive - for large
pickups call 524-8314.
Check the bulletin
board and mark your
calendar.
Summer is nearly over
and the Fall can be a busy
one - will talk about that
later.
