And On The Same Program
Sports in this district enjoyed
an exceptional year in 1953.
Highlight of the 12 months’
activity was the double O.B.A.
win bs* Dashwood this summer.
The Tigers captux’ed the Inter
mediate “D” title and the Pee
Wees won the Pee Wee "D”
championship.
| In high school sports, S.H.D.-
H.S. maintained its high athletic
reputation in district competi
tion. The Senior Girls basketball
team retained its WOSSA “B”
I title while the Senior Boys were
nosed out of Ontario and WO
SSA championships by meagre
margins. The school recaptured
its tri-school track and field meet
title and two district athletes
won individual laurels.
Featured in the 1953 hockey
record were Centralia Flyers who
reached O.H.A. Intermediate "B”
semi-finals; the Lucan Irish who
were runners-up for the WOAA
Intermediate "0” laurels; and
the sensational Lucan - Zurich
battle for the Cyclone "C” title
which stretched to eight games.
Other highlights of 1953 sports
were the success of Exeter Ma
roons Junior “B” basketball team
which reached the Ontario finals
and the rink of Exeter bowlers
which captured the W.O.B.A. *B’
trdphy.

teams in the Cyclone league are
still operating, the import bubble
may burst at any time during
the current season.
Dashwood Titles
Tops In History?
The two Dashwood baseball
victories are perhaps the greatest
sport achievement in the history
of this district.
The fact that the two teams
from the same village both won
O.B.A. titles in the same year is
outstanding in itself but there
were other features

Zurich in playoffs to decide the

ing lacklustre ball, the Dashwood
crew dropped three straight
games to their Zurich rivals. It
looked like their season was over.
Then, Manager Carl Wein got
the players together at an infor
mal corn roast. They were angry
at the way Zurich fans had bally
hooed their victory all over the
Dashwood streets. As they aired

Before they left the corn-feed,
they decided they’d get out to

the local ball team took third
place in the regular standing and
ousted Seaforth and Mitchell for
the cup. In W.O.A.A. playdowns,
the Mohawks were defeated in
the first round by Durham.
High School Cops
Athletic Laurels
South Huron D i s t r i c t High
School, undoubtedly established
as the top WOSSA "B” school in
basketball, came through with
another good year.
The senior girls easily trampl
ed all competition to retain their
S. B. Taylor championship
trophy. The winners, under coach
Miss Lauretta Seigner, at least
doubled the score of their op
ponents in the purple bowl tour
ney.
The senior boys, on the other
hand, suffered the most heart
breaking season any team could
ever have. Picked as the tops in
the WOSSA “B” field, they rep
resented the district in the pro

Despite the success in other

amount of attention from fans in
this area.

thrills for spectators as they

best-of-seven set to decide the
Cyclone “C” champions. The first
game ended in a dra.w, then Zui'-

was told her husband had
killed, that a mistake had
made. She, the comforter,
the widow. The other woman,
overcome with grief, was told
her husband was actually alive
and unhurt.
In order to help the district’s
one English - language weekly
newspaper, The Vai d’Or Star,
Rev. Mr. Knox often rendered
valuable assistance and showed
that if he had chosen journal
ism, he could have made a strik
ing career for himself. Before he
left for New Liskeard in 1950,
he had been named Canadian’
Press correspondent for the area.
One of his special news beats
had to do with a plague of ser
ious bush fires in the autumn of
1949 On a hunch, he drove to
Vai Senneville, near Vai d’Or,
and found that tile little village
had been practically destroyed..
Most of the men were away
working in mines. Women and
children were gathered around
the church and helping their
parish priest to save it. Mr. Knox
raced back to Vai d’Or, got help
and organized collection of cloth
ing and bedding for the disaster
victims.
In the months following Coro
nation of Queen Elizabeth II,
Rev. Mr. Knox was chosen to
preach at a number of the Cathe
dral Churches of England. His
tour took him from Liverpool to
Canterbury.
On return to Canada he head
ed up organization of Sixtieth
Anniversary Celebration at St.
John the Evangelist Church in
New Liskeard, which traces its
parish history back to 10 years
before the community was found
ed.
During his three years' ser
vice, the New Liskeard Parish
has Bhown steady growth. A new
heating system was installed, and
the interior of the church com
pletely redecorated following re
wiring and installation of beauti
ful new lighting, The lighting
was dedicated in preparation for
the Diamond Jubilee by the
Bishop of Algoma.
Rhv. Mr* Knox was married on
August 26, 1940, to Miss Helen
Lindsay, daughter of Thomds
Lindsay and the late Mrs* Lind-
shy, of Hollywood, Ireland. They
have six children, thr^e boys and
three girls, namely: Thomas, Normah Lindsay, Peter James,
born in or near 'Toronto; and

lie’s smoothed over a delicate
situation with timely wit. His
pleasant personality has won him
many friends, not only in muni
cipal government circles and in
his own village, but throughout
the district.
Served With Six Reeves
Mr. Paterson has served with
only six reeves in his term as
clerk. They include Messrs. Ro'bt.
Higgins, Owen Geiger, William
Consitt, William
whom have died,
and the present
Kerslake.
Jim was first
on December 27,
council under Reeve Robert Hig
gins. A few years later, he was
appointed treasurer and tax col
lector, two positions he still has
today.
Highlights of the village
achievements during the 25 years
were the Old Boys’ Reunion in
1935, the black-topping of streets
in 1943, the waterworks installa
tion in 1948, the new rink in
1949, and the purchase of a
fire engine in 1951.
Assessment Doubled
Although the population
increased very little since
first became clerk, Mr. Paterson
has watched the assessment of
the village double. In 1928, Hen
sail was a village of 73 8 persons
with a value of $390,444. Today
the population is 759 while the
assessment has jumped to 743,-
000.
Jim is one of Hensall’s most
active citizens. Besides being
clerk, treasurer and tax collector,
he is treasurer o*f the P.U.C.
water and electric, secretary
treasurer of the library and
parks boards, financial secretary
of the Canadian Order of Forest
ers. He has served 15 years as
secretary-treasurer of the base
ball team and a member of the
executive of the
Commerce.
He has served
representative on
Valley Conservation Authority
since its inception; he is a past
president of the Huron County
Municipal Officers Association,
and of the Huron County Base
ball Association.
One of Hensall’s most ardent
boosters, Jim is proud of his
village and its accomplishments.
He boasts of the fact that Hen
sail is the largest grain centre
in Western Ontario, a fact estab
lished by the Canadian National
Railway. He is proud of the new
Hensall industry—Clipper Coach
Manufacturing Co. Ltd.—which
is currently planning a major
expansion program. Ahother ac
complishment of the village he
takes pride in is the community
centre which was built by volun
teer labor and donations in 19 49.
Housing Is Major Problem
Hensall’s major problem at the
present time is housing. The
clerk says the "housing short
age is really crippling us”. He
feels there are many workers in
Hensall who woiild move to the
village if there were homes avail
able. The situation is all the
more critical in' view of the ex
pansion of the eoach industry.
At the present titae, provincial
support for housing is available
for towns of over 5,000 popula
tion bnly. But Jim, along with
his council, and others in Huron county, Is trying to get the regu
lations changed so that smaller
towns can get assistance.
Another project being complet
ed by the village that will in
volve the clerk is artificial ice.
Many organisation^ are behind
the project and a special meeting
is to be held next Monday to
make a final decision bn whether
debentures will be issued to in
stall a plant In the arena,
Jim describes his village as
"definitely sports * minded” and
backs this up with the Illustra
tion of the arbna which was built
at no cost to the ratepayers*tn politics, he says the town
is split 50-50 between Liberals
and Conservatives. In all the pro
vincial and federal elections since

has recorded a very dose vote.
