standing around Association Secretary-Treasurer, Jack Eisler and President Don Wood are part of the gathering which includes re-
presentatives of Seaforth service clubs and other municipal organizations.
An announcement was made
this 'week by Manager Harry Kerr
of the Goderich Siftos, that that ,
team was dropping out of the 0
HA Western Junior 'B' League.
The team was winless in four
starts this season but it was lack
of players that was cited as the
reason for the move.
Johnny Brent, league con-
vener, told the press the Siftos
were down to nine or ten players
Sunday night.
Goderich's departure leaves
London, Stratford, Sarnia, Stra-
throy and Sc. Marys in a five-

standit,6 aed ineividual statistics,
Goderich hes supported a
junior team now -for a number
of years but financial problems
and cost Of importing players
and the lack of local players
were just too much for the man-
agement.
Only three Goderich youths
were on the team.
The. Siftos sought outside
help this year. They approach:
ed London 'and Hamilton for
players but didn't receive any
help. ,
The Goderich juniors have
produced three players of NHL
talent in the past few years.
They were Paul, Henderson, play-
ing with, Toronto, Larry Jeffrey
of Detroit Red Wings and Gary
Doak of the Boston Bruins.
The folding of the Siftos is
an indication of what will come
to the other smaller centres in
Ontario. supporting a Junior 'B' '
squad where the calibre of play
in the league' demands that play-,
ers.be brought in from other
centres to, make a contending
team,
Vary few smaller communit-
ies are able-to produce enough
tornotch junior players, through
their minor system, to ice a
strong team. •
Coupled with this is, the high
cost of operating a team, travel
expenses, school tuitions for
imports and equipment and
mffitenance,
Very few small communities
receive enough support from
spectators at the gates to meet
their expenses.
The, answer for" many com-
munities has been to ice junior
F or D teams which can play in
a league close to home where
travelling expenses are minimal
and imports are almott non-ex-
istant,
The teams draw from surround
ing towns and villages and are
able to ice a contending team
against other area communities
in the same situation,
