PUT YOUR BOOTS ON LUCY! 0
What this corner has learned about soccer wouldn’t fill a thimble But
what we watched the other night, we liked.
After eighteen inactive years, Wingham’s soccer entry, under the aegis
of the Recreation Council, made its debut In the Wingham Town Park. Des
pite threatening weather, quite a few fans turned opt to watch the locals
being man-handled (or foot handled) by the defending champions, Winthrop.
Many came out of curiosity, and stayed to cheer both sides.
The one big item that would m^'ie soccer fans out of hockey fans,
would be the sustained action of the game. The Canadian rules permit sub
stitutions, but I understand that in the Old Country there is no substitution,
and the fellows who use their noodles more than enough, have to go tl|e
whole way , . . the two 45-minute halves, and that takes some doing.
The fans liked the action, and they
also liked the gyrations of the players,
who seemed to be more than enjoying
their work. While it looks as a part
of the job to propel the ball forward
with your head, there’s a knack to it,
Bob Lewis, my local soccer inform
ant, casts a word of caution to the
would-be soccerist. Never, never take
the ball on the top of your head.
Countless neophytes have been count
ed out by concussion for such a fool
hardy practice. You have to get the
shot away neatly on your forehead,
which gives it is driving power, and
both sides did that very Well the other
night.
The Wingham club was a late start
er in the Huron Football Association,
and even the soccer experts along the
centre-field strip had to admit that
with a little more savvy, the Wing-
hani entry could prove to be a power
in the seven team loop. One thing for
sure, in a game where you have to
use your head, it’s no place for numb
skulls !
SPORTRAITS
The two Wingham minor hockey
teams are in the process of winding
up their seasons, last Friday night,
the Kinsmen were host to the ban
tams, with M. L. “TORY” Gregg, pre
sident of the OHA as guest speaker,
this Friday at the Armouries, the
Liojjs will fete their championship
midget team in a public honor night
for the WOAA and OMHA champs,
president MIKE WEICHEL, of El-
MIRA, and secretary JACK CHRIS
TIE, of the OMHA, will be two of the
out-of-town guests. It had been hoped
to get some pro star, but the clubs
have no jurisdiction over their players
after May 1st.

Memorable Sight
(Continued from Page One)
striving to imprpve,
Each of the posts supporting
gallery were transformed into green-
topped bird cages with their Qwners
sunning themselves outside, demon
strating the joys of singing, flying, and
being petted. Below the cages each
post was bedecked with evergreens
and flowers. Hung below the gallery
four caged birds sang joyously. Mrs.
Buchanan’s canary has sung at each
flower service for the past 12 years,
During the service four swings, hung
from the gallery with ropes garlanded
with flowers, were lowered into the
aisles for Eleanor Goy, Greer Dunlop,
Marilyn Chamney and Ruth Hodgins,
who demonstrated the joy of play.
Along the front edge of the gallery
were ten white ships with spirea sails,
reminding all of the joys of sailing the
bounding main. A set of fishing gear
on either side of the church above the
gallery symbolized the joys of outdoor
pastimes. The many baskets of flow
ers in and outside the church were re
minders of the joy of seeing and
smelling the beauties of nature in
God’s world.
The white-robed junior and inter
mediate choir members, each with a
pansy and lily-of-the-valley corsage,
opened the service by singing expres
sively “Pansies, Lilies and Roses”. The
250 Sunday School pupils and officers
filed into the church with bouquets
which were artfully placed in the gar
den carts at the front of the church
by Lois Crawford, Betty Foxton, Don
na Moffatt, Ethel Breen, Muriel and
Merle Gowdy. Cheryl Rowland gave
the clear call to worship before the
congregation sang the hymn 'For the
Beauty of the Earth”. The choral
reading of Psalm 100 was well pre
sented by Helen Anne Armstrong,
Jean Jones, Carol Crawford, Karen
Beattie, Sandra MacLennan, Bruce
Machan, Douglas Hamilton and John
Madill. The dulcet tones of Mrs. Ken
Brown’s marimba entranced all in
“Angel Serenade” and later led “In
a Monastery Garden”. Many were de
lighted with this Windsor musician’s
renditions during and following the
evening service also. The beginners’
chorus, “Joy, Joy, Joy”, left many
with hearts ringing, as theirs were,
with joy. Jim Shynkar led the con
gregation ” in heartfelt prayer before
Carol Murray’s expressive recitation,
“Joy of the Morning". The junior
choir sang “Joyful, Joyful” and the
intermediate choir shone in “Glory to
the Father" later in the service. Bev
erly Anne Cunningham recited “Joy",
clearly, and it is hoped to hear again
the double duet of Misses Mary and
Helen Haines and Marjorie and Mar
lene MacKenzie.
Mr. MacRae welcomed all to the

(which reached the first, objective)
was dedicated by Jimmy Lem. Mr.
MacRae thanked the many workers <
for Flower Sunday, the designer, Miss
Phyllis Johns, and Mrs. Fells, who
has provided bushels of pansies for
many years.
. The voice of Miss Gertrude Patmore,
national director of the. Sunday
School in the Home, was familiar to
many who hear her every Sunday at
12.15 on the air. After seeing and
hearing her speak at this service she
Will be thp friend who told the sec
ret of joy. This was revealed through
the story of the Anderson family, who
could not find joy unless they put Je-

third in their lives.
The sweet voices of the choir in
“Bless Us as We Go” blended for the
choral benediction.
Girls' Group Meets,
Presents Member
The regular monthly meeting of the
Marion Williamson Girls’ Group was
held in the church basement on Fri
day evening, May 28th. The Scripture
taken from Colossians 1. 9-19 was read
by Helen Ford, and the comments on
the Scripture were read by Sharon
Guy.
Mrs. Fry gave some historical facts
on five well-known hymns which
were sung, followed by a prayer by
Mary Frances Currie. Three study
groups were led with Barbara Mer
rick, Jean Campbell and Donalda
MacDonald as leaders. The secretary’s
report, roll call and treasurer's report

[Donalda MacDonald read a story “A
Church In a House". Hymn 454 was
sung followed by a prayer by Joyce
Moffat.
Jean Campbell, a faithful assistant
leader of the group, who is leaving,
was presented with a lovely gift. Aud

ed and the meeting closed with the
benediction. .
