The lions have again this year arranged for Santa to pay a visit to Blyth. On Saturday, Dec. 3 the Lions will show a film at the Blyth Blyth Atoms lose exhibition to Goderich Continued from page 15 frustrated the Zurich attackers with rock solid defensive play and pin point break out passes. Once again goalies Chris Lee and Michael de Jong shone as Blyth’s final wall of defence. Thursday, November 10 had the Blyth Atoms travelling to Goderich for an exhibition game. A very aggressive Goderich team caught fire in the third period as they shaded the visitors 4-3. Blyth started quickly and built a 2-0 first period lead. Scott Arthur and Ryan Chamney set up Jason Rutledge for Blyth’s first goal. Brad Anderson set up Christopher How- son next as Christopher’s shot eluded the Goderich puck stopper. The teams traded goals in the second period with Goderich scoring first and Blyth coming up with a late powerplay goal. Peter Craig passed to Ryan Chamney whoput a couple of dekes on the goalie for Blyth’s third goal. The steam ran out for Blyth in the third as Goderich scored three straight goals, with the final one on the power play, to steal a 4-3 win. Although Blyth had complete control of the game for two periods, they let the game slip away in the third for a lesson well learned that will hopefully aid them in the future. Two more games are scheduled this week as they play host to Clinton on Wednesday and travel to Huron Park on Friday night.

The International Scene Continued from page 4 bilingual. Since all official business at the federal level can be conducted in either language, as it can here in Canada, this part of the relationship works out very well at the lower levels but when it comes to electing an effective government, Belgium is a classic case of a split personality. Being too civilized, at least so far, to actinthesameviolentwayasthe Irish in Northern Ireland, the Belgians are content to impose ineffective government on each other. The most recent national election was held mainly because the mayor of a French speaking village refused to take a proficiency test in Dutch. The four parties forming the coali tion government were not surpris ingly split on the matter, given that twoof them were Dutch speaking while the other two are French. The election really did not solve anything since no one party is about to change the colour of its linguistic spots. I hus the country will lurch along until the next crisis. I might make a good Belgian since 1 speak both French and Dutch. Certainly when I have been in that country, I make sure that I use the language of the area in which I am travelling. In Brussels it doesn’t really matter; anyone one of the two will do and you can usually get by on English if either or both of the official languages are not in your repertoire. One of the newspapers which takes my column is the Brussels Citizen and, if 1 may draw an analogy, it is as if all the people on the west side of the main street spoke one language while those on the east side spoke another. A few excep tions would be allowed. The news paper office is on the east side but Keith Roulston and his staff had better be very nimble on their linguistic feet and know which of the two languages their customers spoke when they came in to pay their bills. It might even be preferable to print two editions of the newspaper, one in French and the other in Flemish. Perhaps the Belgians should give serious consideration to learning Esperanto. That might just possibly solve their problem. Everyone then gathered in the auditorium to socialize, and were surprised by the appearance of four very unusual curlers. After enjoying a delicious roast beef supper served by the B.M.G. Catering Group, Marie McGavin led a sing-a-long with Madelene Steiss at the piano. Doug Sholdice welcom ed everyone with a short speech and asked the charter members of the club to stand; there being several in attendance. He then invited M.P. Murray Cardiff to speak. Mr. Cardiff then presented the club with a couple of plaques from the federal government. The floi al centrepieces were given as dour prizes to Doug Rathwell, Donna Bauer, Mary Bryans, Joyce Alexander and Pat Langlois. Everyone the enjoyed the music of “Anything Goes”. This was a very successful and enjoyable day for all those who attended, with former members reminiscing about those great or not so great shots that were made.
