Natural Gas In Huron The Blue • Water Gas Co. hopes to supply natural gas to Goderieh according to informa- tion put before Town .Councilby (Councillor Peter S. MacEwan. The company, whic'h has its headquarters at London, has control of a new well brought in on the farm of Elgin Porter, about 15 miles from Goderich, an the' Bayfield•lBrucefield road. Councillor IMacEwan told the Council that the company is ne- gotiating with a view to supply- ing'natural gas 'to at least one Goderich industry. The comp- any would like the goodwill of Council, he stated. (Council took no immediate ac- tion, but referred the matter to its special committee for in- vestigation. The gas company :may lay a four -inch pipe from the well to Goderich, said, Councillor 1Mac- Ewan. 'It is believed that the gas well will produce for at least seven years before it is de- pleted. Company officials believe that western gas -will be piped to this area within five or six years. When that happens, it is planned to shut oft the Bay- field well and use the tank as a reservoir for the western prod- uct. The western gas would then be distributed to district users in place of the 'Bayfield product. Councillor Joseph Allaire ask- ed Councilor MacEwan if he thought that any local fuel deal- ers would object to the gas pro- posal. 'Councillor iMacEwan said he did not think anyone would be affected, unless perhaps the P U C. Deputy -Reeve James Donnel- ly suggested Council should find out more about the comp- pany before giving any official expression of approval. Councillor MacEwan stated that, if the gas is brought to 'Goderich, it may become neces- sary to' forin a plant with local backing.—Goderich Signal Star. UNCLE ARTHUR Our hearts are sad, as we sit alone, At the close of a Sabbath Day, Because of the loss of one so dear, Our Uncle across the way. We made our journey o'er hill and dale To Canada's fair •Domain,, To comfort bhe hearts, in sor- row there, In their hour of grief and pain. His death was such a tragic one, A. dreadful shock to all, But on his wife and family, Did the darkest shadows fall. Aunt Lizzie has been a kind mother, Wife• and helpmate, and frien&, We know that her children will love 'her,. And lighten her load to the end. They told us how he left his home, To visit with a friend; But God decreed that on that day His earthly life should end. 'Ile was an honest, kindly man, A 'moor with a generous heart, His loss is felt more keenly now Since from Mm we've had to He.quasn't.,perfect, (none of -us 'are), (Nor did he ,pretend to be, But he did; the 'thing that seem- ed night' 'to him, And he did it manfully, • 1 sat in my uncle's old arm- chair, And the bho'ts that filled my : mind Were fragrant ,with memories of days gone by, - And rich with a love entwined. I lingered -4 bit in that old_ arm- chair, - That seemed like part of him, And in retrospect •I could see him there, As he played that old violin. I could hear the music :wafted there In notes so sweet and grand. I could see (bow as it swept the strings Like the touch of a master's hand. • That old violin is silent now, No more its tones we'll hear, But oft from memory's page we'll feast On scenes forever dear. Sue's hearing 'Heavenly inu,sic now, By that Angelic choir; Could we but catch its faintest strain, It would our hearts inspire. He told his wife. a short lime back,' (And wanted 'her to know) That he had made his peace with God, Was ready now to go. 0 let us live from day to day, That when our time shall come, We'll be prepared to meet him there, 'Beyond Life's setting sun, This was written in memory Of Arthur Anderson by his nephew Norman •Landon, of Marlette, Mieh,, Feb, 1957.
