Athletic As,soeiatiOn, in which all 'Minor sports teams from Clinton compete, is looking for Young hockey coaches to send to a leadership training course in Kingston this summer, The WOAA publicity man, Roger West has issued the following release which should bear much consideration among minor sports officials in Clinton. "Amateur hockey is one of Canada's more valuable assets. Hockey is our National game and hence, the skill and success of Canadians in the game (both at home and abroad) gives us a sense of pride. In a time when we are accused of going 'soft", hockey pro- vides an excellent form of conditioning, The behaviour of young boys and young men (between ages of 10 and 21) is giving us cause s for concern in many cases. Hockey teaches a boy to accept and respect outside discipline and acquire a further degree of self-disci- pline. The irony of the situation is in the fact that the greatest hockey drop- out occurs in boys between the very ages of 15 and 21. Bearing all this in mind, you can appreciate the tremendous responsibility borne by relatively few people. There is an answer though — in an 'excellent program, approved by the National Advisory Council on Fitness and Amatetir Sport; financially under- written by the FederarGovernment, and sponsored by the CAHA, the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, and such area organizations as the WOAA. The first Leadership Training Insti- tute under this program was held in the form of a' clinic in Kingston last year. It was judged a huge success, with particular reference to the follow- up. The men who attended last year were really put through their paces; and they returned the favour by holding, coach's clinics in their home areas. The Sarne type of clinic will be held ,agairp this Year in Kingston and. the WQAA IS looking for Men,. interested in attending, This will be an eight-to-ten- day clinic, in. August. TranSportation, room. and board .will be provided. The ten dollar entry fee is reftinclable. Those who attend Will be expected to hold clinics in their home areas, which ,should be successful—if for no other reason—, because of the excellent staff seleeted for the National Institutes. Comprising .those staffs are pedple involved in all levels of the • game from pee wee through senior. As an 'example; Hap Emma • from the junior level .(Niagara Falls Flyers, Jr. "A"), '- What is the purpose of this pro- gram? First of all, it is not to suggest that existing coaching is unsatisfactory; instead, this is designed, as an aid to better -coaching, And this in turn, in, volves getting more boys into the game, and more adults as well. What adults? The professional people (doctors, law- yers, dentists,. teachers and so on). These people would make excellent man- agers, executives, advisors, treasurers. And in taking over such duties, they lift a -heavy burden from the coach's shoulders. This latter involve- ment is something naturally that would have- to be worked out in each com- munity. But it would be of inestimable value, because the "citizenship" idea can be stressed (subtlety), no small way, by the example of the responsible people involved, Thus, the sport stands to gain, as the game takes on more character; the community gains too, because better boys develop into finer citizens, If you are interested • in attending the Institute at Kingston, then by all means, write to John Crewson, at the WOAA office in ,Wingham. There is NO obligation—there IS a need for good men. Think it. over!' Clinton 'Nevus i.ec r THE CLINTON NEW ERA Est. 1865 ‘4 1 S0 A A. L.

Just as she is thrilling right up to. the shoulder from the cool, firm imprint of the count's lips on her mitt, she looks, down and discovers that the cool, firm lips have suddenly become the cold, ninny nose Of her daughter, who is wiping it on the back of mummy's- hand.

For years, I've had 'these dreams: riding 'in a ricksha in Rangoon, • tossing silver dollars to 'the natives; dropping in on Princess Margaret and Tony for a cocktail; flying to. Rio for carnival time. But lately, they have solidified into one recur- rent dream which is more like an obsession. It comes almost nightly at this time of year. In the dream', My wife says, "When are you going to get those storm windows off, have you any intention of cutting the lawn this year, what do you intend to do about that fence?" I lust tell her to shut up. This is hew I know it's a. dream. Then I reach out nonchalantly, push the •belibutton beside my chair. A man appears and asks respectfully, "Yes, sir?" • I tell 'him, "John, get those, storm windows' off. And I don't Mean tomorrow. The grass needs cutting, and do something about propping up the fence. Now, get cracking." He says, "Right away, sir," I lean back, light a dollar cigar, and splash 'a little more soda into my brandy. That's the dream, 'in essence. There are variations on it, depending on seasons. Sometimes I tell John to shovel the walk, and I splash a little more brandy into my soda, but it's the same dream. You can have your yachts, your Acapulco balconies, and your Cadillacs; Just give me John.

WhaVs more, I intend 'to do something about it. If necessary, a report will go to the Ontario Police Commis-, sion, whether anybody. likes it or not, I am asking all citizens of Clinton to assist 'in this is- sue (those Who have the back- bone to do so), I would like as many people as possible, to send me statements of their views on this situation. I am sure these views will be- the same as my own. These state- ments will go to the council for action, and 'if necessary, will be sent much further, despite any- one's objections. I have never seen so many brainless idiots behind car steering wheels downtown, as this past weekend. And I ask, "Has Albert Street a 30 'm.p.h. speed limit, or a 'drive as you like speed'?" It was the same as many 'race tracks in Ontario, King Street end Mary Street are no longer 30 m.p.h. streets. They are now "drag row", just like other streets in town. It is a good job we are not getting a new highway this year, as it would only be an- other drag strip. We have one new highway—.'go as fast as you like—King Street. Last weekend bottles were thrown 'through main street windows; firecrackers w e it e thrown on cinder dry roofs; oars were being driven with people sitting on 'the tops, on the fenders, etc.; flowers were draped •all over some of them, obscuring what brains or vision that the drivers might have had. The situation between 12 'noon •and 1 'p.m. needs a whole- sale cleaning up in the down- town and high school areas.

They are trying to do a job with a force big enough to police a parking lot, and with equipment that was adequate in horse and buggy days. We have enough of our own drivers who need a good lash- ing, without any more drivers from other centres. These other centres have the sense to have proper communications, radar and ample police, etc. Clinton doesn't have -to be a playground for this type of driver, and as far as I'm concerned, they can stay home.
