A. R. Scott as secretary.
"Quite a number df citizens are
vitally interested in having an arti-
lieAtetelee, Arena tpyen," said Mayor
Alheney in opening the meeting. He
related how the recreation committee
was to bring in a report on the mat-
ter, but nothingifeld .been done, owing
to the chairman's Moving from town.
"There is a pressing need for ice

otions wanted otheretthings, top. The
aerna was not the 'only thing."

figures. of the cost of at leagt ten
eetifieial rinks in the Province. The
committee.. had --visited' about five- of
Mans to learn what pitfalls were en-
countered in the erection it them.
• e a- Money the First Need _
Dr. J, M. Graham felt theta. definite
qt art-, trr, _..raising..necessarv,
funds was the real need. (ince the
Money was raised it could then be
decided whether the old rink should be
altered or a new. one built. He' said
.it had been sagge.sted that each one in
Goderich give' a daY's Pity towards the
projeet.
. Keith Hopkinson .pointed out *that
some time ago only. two .artificial ice -
arenas in Ontario _were not making.
money, but that teday all of them wefie
• ,
Dr. J, A. Graham felt there was a
need for. leadership in securing a neve
arena. Ile eddied -that dividends from
a new arena in Godertch need net be
expected soon, if 'ever. He regretted..
that some ratepayers who objected- to
expenditures for a new arena were not
nresent at the meeting to voice their
objections. '
Reg. McGee was of the opinion•that
if a $250,000 arena 'were platmed it
would never comeAutp being, but that
if a sum intilehe neighborhood ,of $125,-
000 was considered there might be • a
chance of getting it. He did not believe
-the arena could be expected' to be a
money -Maker. _He felt there were
ninny people who would give money
to see that it was built and kept in
operation. The pieseibility -of getting
a Government grant. was raised by
Mr. McGee, provided the arena was
,built.' at the Fair grounds and used by
a re -organized Agricultural Society.
Councillor, J. Iluekins thought that
Goderich should get away froms the
idea of building a -$125,000 arena, be --
cause of the uncertainty of the future.
He .felt the present rink should be
turned over Wet responsible committee
-and have it looked over by an engineer
to see whatcouldbe done to Make it
do for d while yet., soggested,put-
tieg in extra Seating accommodatielm on
;the south side, "We need a new rink
badly, butwelave- needs for, schools
more,'; he said. "We can have a rink
if we are as willing to get down there
and dd. some work on it as we - are to.
• talk ,about it:"
Keith Hopkinson .idahned that only
the .roof - is holding the Present rink
together, that the rest of the building
is not good and 'that ...some day. it will
cave in and kill a lot of people.". •
. Mayor Mooney felt that now was
the opportune lime' to go. out en sub-
scriptions for a new, arena.
Should Have Artificial Ice
Iteg.'McGee stated that at both Luck -
new and Winghana they were consider-
eing the installation' of artiticial ice.
lie felt Goderich 'WaS taking a back-
ward_ step if artificial ice were not
coneid`Cred here whet' smaller - places
. were coneldering it. He pointed out.
that considerable money went out. of
Goderich during the wina(r because of
lack of artificial ice here.
Asked by Dr..1. A. Graham how much
money he thought could be raked by
public-eubscription in Goilerich, Mr.
etiee-rep -I te ditlient,t-to-"say,
but he would imagine about $50;000.
Mr. Scott asked if 'the idett"Of the
meeting 'was to have the recreation
commietre contieue with the work they
had started out to (Ip or whether the
idea was to discharge' them now. •
Rev. H. II., Turnbull stated thatalf
he sensed the feeling of the meeting
correctly the meethig wits for the pur-
pose of spurring on the work that
had been done by the recreation coni-
mittee. "I think that if the. finances
were provided the recreation committee
Would give the -community an (Irene
requisite with its needs." ,
Mr. Hopkinson' felt "qpite sure" that
no communitY centre 'would' be built
nowe but. urged that a finaneial drive
be sfartedeto get funds for an arena.
Ivan Lorizon. was in favor' of the
same committee carrying on. "I still
think we should have artificial ice,
• because we need it," he -Stated.
Emerson endorked the com-
mencement of a drive for fuede, adding
that there were a nuntrier Of ways in

TO CALL IN SEPTEMBER
The S.S. North American Will make
a call at Goderich on -Saturday, Septem-
ber 13, between 10 a.m. and 3
cording to word received from company
officials by F. E. Hibbert, chairman of
the 'merchants committee- of the Gede-
rich Board of Trade. At tithe of Writ-
ing this was thesonly call schednled for
Goderich during the coining summer
of boats of • this line. It was stated,
-however, there was a possibility that
ether visits would be announeed later.
which was writing to .former residents
'of Goderich„ •
After members of the hockey team
were urged to express their npinions,
Gerry ,Ginn declared, "The- opinion of
youth in Goderich is that there sheuld
be a new rink. There is no use spend-
ing money on tin old rink and then
-having nothing after you spehd it.
Build an artiticial rink in Goderich
and have people from other towns com-
ing to it and thus helping to pay' for it.
Some people say the present. rink is
about eixty eyears old. Some people
ask why Goderich doesn't grow. That's
a pretty good example of why Goderich
isn't growing. Why should Goderieh
take a beck _seat to smaller centrest?
Why -shouldn't Goderich get in the seat
and drive for ° a change, so that it
can go ahead?"
Not Fit to -Be Moved
Councillor Taylor, referring to a Sug-
Astion that the present. rink be • moved
and rebuilt, said the timbees Nvere not
tit to be. moved. He added that he
wouldn't want any friends of his to
he near the building if it were being
moved. llea•ruthled that the present
rink Wets 41 fire leveed. • "I afll oppos0
to remodelling or moving the present
rink," he said. "If we are going to
have a rink fers build a gdod rink,"
Aire. B. Wilmot felt that. that the meet-
ing shoald not lose sight of the idea
that the new rink should be a mmn-
tirial-one.
.Mr? Hopkinson suggested t 7, the
recreation committee be made respon-
sible to the Town Council and Work
under the direction of the Council.
Air Vice -Marshal J. A. Sully moved
• that the present recreation .committee
appoint its own-chairm•an and that this
counnittee should proceed With plans
for the building of an artificial ice
arena which Would be part of all ulti-
mate recreational centre ;0 that the fin -
'mice committee as at present consti-
tuted proceed inunediately to raise
funds. J. P. Warren seconded this mo-
tion, which was carried by the' meeting.
The meeting also endorsed a motion
by Air Vice -Marshal Sully and Mr.
Hopkineon favoring tlee appointment of
commission by the Town Council for
the management of the arena. after it in
erected. •
Town Clerk S. II. Rinke thought the
logical' site' for a new arena was the
Agricultural grounds.
A vote of thanks was tendered to
the recreational -committee for the work
they have done 00 for.
