ARENA With Winter fast ap- proaching, thoughts of skating come to mind, and getting ready to be "on ice" as soon as it is available. There may be a delay this year due to some dif- ficulties, but we hope they will be straightened out soon so the rink will be functioning sometime in November, Meanwhile, registration must be held so we can make arrangements and sort out our groups, For those who missed registering last Saturday, we are holding another registration this Saturday, Oc- tober 20 at the arena from 10:30 to 12 noon. Also in con- junction with registration, we are having a skate exchange and sale. Anyone who has figure skates in good condition may bring them. Be sure to put, a piece of paper inside on of the boots ,,with , your- 'name, teleplib rtee n triber14 sizes of..-the.A skates and asking price (in case you can't find a pair to ex- change). Because of inquiries, we are going to try to form a group of older skaters who want to skate "just for fun" one night a week. So if you are a young adult or a young at heart adult or an in between adult and would like to participate in good healthy exercise and even learn a few fundamentals of skating, call 565-2145, and leave your name and telephone number. If enough respond to form a reasonable sized group, we'll call you as soon as we are assured of the night and the time. There is a need for adults who are interested in skating to act as directors or executive of the Figure Skating Club. All you need is an honest-to- goodness lively interest in helping to promote good skating for the children. Many hands make light work, so please consider our plea even though you do not have a child in the club. While looking over some newspapers we have a mania for "storing" here and there, we came across an editorial written by the Wingham Ad- vance-Times entitled, "Welcome Aboard". The paper was dated October 21, 1965. In the editorial the writer is welcoming Robert Shrier as the new owner and publisher of the Goderich Signal-Star, and states in part that "he (Mr. Shrier) is a person for whom we have the highest regard and one who will lend even further distinction to the venerable and respected Goderich publication. "It is a distinct relief to know that the Goderich paper has been purchased by an indepen- dent publisher who will operate it in the best interests of his community and country. In Robert Shrier we believe the fine tradition of town newspapers and of the weekly press generally will find an able' companion." We believe the writer of the above must have had ESP, as Bob•Shrier has done all these things in the past eight years and also purchased the Kincar- dine News and The Clinton News-Record and is presently in the process of constructing a sparkling new Signal-Star building on Highway 21 at the southerly limits of Goderich. Congratulations and con- tinued success to Bob Shrier and may the next eight years be as fulfilling and prosperous. STORM Power was disrupted for nearly two and a half hours on Saturday evening when a small tornado ripped through the Village of Bayfield, leaving behind, an area of destruction, Hardest hit was the ,Village Market, which sustained con- siderable damage when a limb from a maple tree on Mrs. Gairdner's property, fell on the roof of the store, knocked out bricks and cracked the side wall of the building. A new European car recently purchased by Mr. A. Couper on Howard street West had the front end badly damaged when a huge limb from a maple tree came crashing down on it, Next door at the home of Norman F. Cooper, two limbs off maple trees narrowly missed their parked car and uprooted lilac bushes and splintered a wooden fence into kindling wood, As the tornado wended its way across Clan Gregor Square, taking with it shingles from the Cooper's roof and twisting off several smaller limbs from trees in the park, it went up Keith Crescent and ripped the tops off three lovely old beech trees, circled around the corner and completely demolished a stately old beech tree narrowly missing the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott. On Delevan St., several trees were uprooted and toppled over into the neighbouring yard of Mr. Renouf Johns, causing con- siderable damage to the land- scaping and shrubbery. Along with shingles from a barn roof, T.V. aerials were twisted and blown down as were several smaller trees and numerous branches. The storm seemed to blow itself out at the east edge of the Village, Many residents were frightened and with no hydro, they really didn't realize what was actually happening. Everyone was out in full force on Sunday to view the damage and were grateful that no one had lost their life or theft. home.

Henry) After three successf ul American sailboat shows, Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. an- nounced this week that it will be exporting the major percen- tage of its production of Bayfield 23's and the recently designed Bayfield 30 during the coming year. A spokesman for the boat yard said that the unique design and quality of the Bayfield yachts seems to be responsible for the ovewhelming acceptance they have received at their recent shows. Dealers have been set up along the Great Lakes and the Atlantic east coast as far south as Annapolis, Maryland. The new exposure of the Bayfield yachts, Bayfield officials say, has sold out their production for a 12 month period and should amount to a gross production figure of $600,000 to the United States alone, not counting existing Canadian business and dealers.
