"We shoOld look into this more thoroughly. The home could now be at its peak period and I would be very much in favor of going slowly on this because such a project would mist the taxpayer Money. Some of 'the people in the home could perhaps be somewhere else. "There is also some talk of doing away with the jail in the county and getting together with a couple of other counties to have one central jail !where different types of 'facilities would be available for different types of offenders. "Very Quiet Year" °This is probably because there. are so many law-abiding citizens in Huron County," he chuckled, "and it may or may not happen, but we should go slowly on this, too." Mr. Stirling said it had been "a very quiet year" in the county and if it hadn't been for the Centennial Grant in Bay- 'field it would have been even quieter." He said the Township had decided to add a meeting room to 'the Township Building and an office and storage room. At $2 per head from the senior governments, Goderich Town- Ship would' receive $3,600 to- wards the project, he said. The addition would be about 20 feet by 30 feet, and some effort would be made "to fix the rest of the place up a bit." Approves Of Calcium Calcium on the roads "was the best thing we ever did," he said. "I am 100 per cent behind calregum on the roads." T h e Reeve said application of the chemleal helped hold the gravel together and drastically reduc- ed -the dust problem. The ap- plications had cost the township $6,000, he said. In his speech, Deputy-reeve Mcllwain reviewed 'the 'situa- tion at Goderich. Hospital and his work on the equalization committee.

Eric Collins noted he was no new, corner to the game of baseball as he had played on teams in both St. Themes 'and -Montreal The theme of Mr. Langdon'S address dealt with one of the basic essentials of a winning team--that being "Detsire" or "The to Win", In his speech, he recalled some old times in the world of Sport, such as the 1927 'World Series between the Yankees and the Cube when Babe Ruth was the hero of 'the times. On this particular day, the game Was in Chicago, and the first time Ruth stepped up to bat, he was greeted by a barrage of bOos; he calmly hit a home run over the left field. fence. The next time he stepped up to the plate, the greeting was the same, but he knocked a homer into the right field stands. Boos Turn To Cheers When he came "up for the was one on which participants spent money they hoped would never be used. Auxiliaries Useful He said auxiliary police for- ces under the E.,avro plan "went over well. at Seaforth I feel certain we could use more to good advantage at times like when the World Plowing Match is being held in the county in 1966." Harry Oakes, Wilmer Riddell and Bill Jenkins each stated they intended to let their names stand for the office of councillor. J. C. Hindmarsh, the fourth contender, did not attend the meeting. Ro ad superintendent Roy Roy Tyndall was invited to address the meeting. He asked for complaints but none were aired. "We're always glad to hear' complaints when they're conditions: we can go out and rectify," Mr. Tyndall said. "We're 'always ready to listen to a valid complaint." He added this is his 31st year as Town- ship 'Road Superintendent. Tyndall was invited to Assessor Carman Tebbubt, also invited -to address the meeting, said in the 14 years he has been assessing property in the township "I've had no particular problems. People have always been courteous to me," He said the total :assess- ment of the township is about $2,700,000. Bob Elliott, the township's representative 'to the board of Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute ,said in his report "some- times we get adverse publicity and are accused of squandering money. I can assure you that none is squandered. "I haven't enjoyed 'the hours -some of our meetings go on until 3 a.m.-but I have enjoy- ed the meetings." He said Central Huron. Secondary School "is getting close to being a $3,000,000 plant and we watch the dollars, Reeve Brings Greetings He said the Exeter school would cut down the enrollment at CHSS a bit, "but by 1970 we will have 1,482 pupils and the school was built to accom- modate 1,225. We now 'have 1,236 students. He said trans- portation costs and teachers' salaries were up. There are 66 teachers and one principal with an average salary of $7,200. Mr. Elliott said he hoped he wasn't being an "obstruction- ist" at the meetings, but "I spent nearly every one of those $1,000,000 as if they were my own." Towards the end of the meet- ing, Clinton Reeve Morgan Ag- new dropped in to convey greet- ings of the season. "I'm sorry our mayor couldn't be 'here to- day," he said. "You are neigh- bor's of ours and are Welcome to use our faellitiee. Welcome to town and spend your money here,"; he chuckled. Taking Advantage Ex-reeve Gordon Orr, now a resident of Goderich wished township residents present at the meeting the greetings of the season. He ",aid education was the most important single iten1 irs Goderich Township, and should be in 'the hands of cap- ahle administrators, Township'treasurer and col- lector H B. 'Ben' Whitely told the meeting 'the township 'was being used 'as a lending insti- tution by some 'ratepayers be- caese of its low interest rates. "On tax InernieS citie, we charge 8 per cent after Dec, 15," he Said, "and one half of One per cent each month thereafter, This Is cheaper than any bank wilt lend money, and some pe6. pie are taking advantage of. this situation, He said the rate Should be raised to 8 per eent with the add :alert Of 2/8 a one per tent Industrial Loop Schedule Starts Monday Dec. 7 About 20' members of last year's teams turned out at the Clinton Lions Arena Meriday night to an organizational meeting for the Industrial Hockey . League. It was decided to maintain the same four -teams as last year, using 'any interested ju- veniles to • fill their ranks, rather than form a separate team. Any interested juveniles are asked to get in touch with Kerr' Clynick or Bill Counter who will place them on a team. The pre-Christmas portion of the schedule will be used to: balance the teams, since ree- reation is 'the main object of the league. Monday night, December 7, with the first game (8:00 p.m.) finding the teachers battling the Mainstreeters and the sec- ond game (9:00 p.m.) matching the Hydro and the Bankers.

Perry .Mason," Mn,' Langdon told of Sens iar boys' beeketbell tearnW*11 he had coasted on the day of their !ehampiohship tournament in Stratford. In their first game, which was against the strong Listowel team, Clinton was `trailing at half time, and was still behind at the. .end of the third quarter, But, a great drive by the ,boys put them out 'in front at the end of 'the game, and advanced them to. the finals against Stratford. "Caret Win There All" "With 'two minutes: left, they tied 'the score. Then, within 20 seconds, three of our boys got muscle spasms do their legs and had to be helped off the floor. The reserves put up a good fight to the end, but we lost the game. This just shows that even. With desire, you can't win them .all." He emphasized the fact that desire is. needed in the world of business as well as m the world of sport and that to succeed, you must have the will to win no matter what field it is in, Langdon closed his speech by quoting from a sign over the Notre Dame football team's locker room •cloor. It reads) "A team that won't be beaten, can't be beaten" Presentations Galore After Mr. Langdon's address, Doug -Andrews, convener of the midget !group, and also repre- senting Legion president K. W. Colotrhours. introduced Jim Ing- • the OBA representative, who presented the OBA trophy to the captain of the Clinton mid- get team, Claire Magee. Then, on behalf of the OBA, Doug Thorndike presented Magee with the WOAA trophy. Following this, Councillor Norman Livermore, represent- ing the Town of Clinton, pre- sented each member of the 'team with' a personal trophy. Included among the recipients were his 'brother, Percy, man- ager of the team; his son, Ron, (whom the News-Record forgot to mention in last week's story -our 'apology to Mr. Liver- more) also on .the coaching staff; and his nephew, Jim, catcher on the team.

Stewart Taylor, past-presi- dent of the Fish and Game Club and chairman for the evening, before presenting the team with their new jackets, noted 'that a !great Western On- tario sportsman, Tory Gregg, had once told him that, "If ever Clinton wins an OBA title, I'll be the first one at their banquet." Mr. Taylor then ex, plained that Mr. Gregg would have been present, but he was in hospital.

After the team had shed their suit jackets and donned the more Comfgrtable hlue -axid gold*, coloured leather team pgicets,, their captain, .010 ire Magee, Stepped forward and, on behalf Of all 'Mc players, thanked "oar loveable manager," Percy Liv- ermore, and his two capable assistants, Ron McKay and Born Livermore. He 'also gave a vote of thanks to all the parents who transported the players to out- of-town games, the Town Coun- cil, for the trophies, and espec-. jelly the Huron Fish and Genie Club for their sponsorship of tbe team, Then, assisted by Jim Liver- more, he presented gifts to each of the 'members of the coaching 'staff. Ron Livermore -thanked 'the team on behalf of the 'reelpients, and added to Langdon's speech by stet ing that, "This team had as much desire as any team I have, ever been on." He emphasized the fact that Claire Magee was truly a super-star, as he "struck out about 13 batters every game he pitched and never lost a game all season." He also praised highly two other Clinton players in the persons of Larry Plekett, the shortstop, who led the team in batting and Larry Pearson, the centre fielder, who went the entire season striking gut only twice, "which is something, you don't see very often." thlrd. it me, ..some the boos had'ttmtwcl.:013, cheers; the Babe Pointed to the Centre field .stands, blasted the hall to 'the some place, and when he round- ed third tease, .every fan present was on his feet, applauding: this magi WISP had the desire and • Will to play and win, regardless of the feelings of the crowds. He mentioned the 'desire athletes Who ean be considered ""super-stars" and named. four M's of baseball Who fit into this category, These were Mayes, Mantle, Maris, and Magee', the letter being Clare Magee, cap- tain of the Clinton team. , He added that coaches look for ,and like to 'have these super-sitars on their team, but they need a 'group that Works together "like a well-oiled ma- chine." Mr. Langdon !also recalled the story of George "Gibber" Gibb, "a Russ Jackson, Bernie Fajorrey and Dick Shutt() all in one," who died of pneumonia after his rookie year in pro football. On his deathbed, he had asked for his coach, and when the man was by his side, told him, "if the going ever gets tough, just tell them to go out and win one for the old Gib- ber." In a later, season, when his' team was trailing by 10 points at half time, the coach told this story to his men. When he had finisllied, 'there was not a dry eye in the locker room, and, as might be expected; in the sec- ond half, the team was' !fired up, scoring four touchdowns, while holding the opponents scoreless. This emphasizes greatly', the point of desire and the will to win, Mr. Langdon Said, Midgets Had Desire Another example of desire which the speaker used. as an illustration was the final game between the Clinton and Stoney Creek midgets in the OBA fin- als this -year. The teams were obviously an ev e: n match throughoirt 'the first nine in- nings of the game, but when Clinton home Sahlei" was un- able to attend.
