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. ; Disastrous Plunge, ; Despite all these successes in , the various fields of sport, 1953 ; may be -better remembered for its disastrous plunge into “pro­ fessional” hockey than any other sports, development. Although all 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.

Corn Roast Success It was a corn roast that set. the Tigers on fire after they were on the brink of being eliminated. They finished fourth in the Huron-Perth standing and met Zurich in playoffs to decide the “D” winner of the league. Play­ 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 tfaeii’ "beefs”, the players be­ came more and more determined. Before they left the corn-feed, they decided they’d get out to practice and take the next four games of the series. .#• From there on, they knocked off Bothwell, Teeswater and Oro­ no to take the title, Exeter Team Wins Exeter enjoyed its season in many years Legion Mohawks captured Huron-Perth “C” title, Sponsored by the Legion for the first year and managed by Jim Fairbairn, 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 vincial finals at Toronto. The Panthers were defeated 55-53 in •from thrilling four-out-of i from which they take the provincial Wees won their year best when ball the the ovej’time in the first game of the tourney.

Hockey Playoffs Provide Thrills Despite the success in other spoils, hockey caught the biggest amount of attention from fans in this area. ■Centralia Flyers, paced by stel­ lar Randy Ellis, provided many thrills for spectators as they reached the semi-finals of the OHA Intermediate “C” class. The Flyers took the district league title in two terrific series with Clinton Colts and Milverton Dominions. Then they walloped Wallaceburg and Fergus in easy fashion.

Top Series But the top hockey playoff series as far as loc»l fans were concerned was the Lucan-Zurich battle which went to eight games. The traditional rivals met’ in a best-of-seven set to decide the Cyclone “C” champions. The first game ended in a dra.w, then Zui'- ich won two, Lucan tied the series, Zurich won again and Lu­ can took the final game of the set to tie it all up. again. In the sudden-death final, Lucan won by the margin of 13-5. The Irish met Mildmay Mon­ archs in the final series for W.O.A.A. "C” title but lost round. Readies Peak Hockey probably reached the the Hockey probably reached its frenzied peak this fall and win­ ter, Teams brought in talent from all over the country as the Cy­ clone league boomed into a big- time effort. But this boom was costing thousands of dollars and it’s a question whether fans will pay for it by the end of the year. Although the clubs have tried to keep within legal 'bounds, the pressure has been so great that many regulations are being brok­ en. Bowlers Capture WOBA Trophy Exeter lawnbowlers highlighted an outstanding tournament year by winning the W.O.B.A. North­ ern Electric trophy at London in July. Skip of the successful rink was Ken Hockey and members were Wes Ryckman, Russ Snell and J. M. Southcott. J.

At one time he had the heart-rending duty of telling one wife, comforting another 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 Elizabeth Patrician and Diana Mary, twins, and Ruth Eilben, all bdrii at Val-d’Or, Quebec, How­ ever, Ruth, the youngest, was born, on July 12, 1949, who been been was Clerk Paterson •—Continued from Page 1 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 he Fas been clerk, the village has recorded a very dose vote. Jones, all of R. E.

He was born in this district and was a stone - mason and brick layer here for many years, retiring about 20 years ago. His wife, the foi'mer Frances Mary Davis, died in 1939.
