Soccer registration begins With the first arrivals of spring, namely the crows, robins and kildeer, the surest sign was Anna Gale's arrival on Good Friday afternoon to ask xas to remind the boys aged -eight to ten years, that it's time again to register for another soccer season. She will be at the arena on Saturday, April 1 .and Saturday April 8 from 10 in the morning until 12 noon. Along with the $6.50 registration fee, the boys are reminded to bring. along a photograph and also their birth certificate or proof of age such as a Baptismal certificate. Bayfield will not be operating a Club for boys 10 to 14 years this season; however, the Goderich Soccer Club has offered to take any boys in that age group wishing to play. Any inquiries should be directed to the Bayfield coach, 'Fred Gale at 482-9380. This year Andrew Couper will be assisting Fred, who also is coaching a team at Vanastra. Knowledge? Could Mahatma Gandhi have foreseen the rift in our educational system that's going on today in our high schools when he wrote the following? I wonder? "It is gross superstition to suppose that knowledge can be obtained only by going to schools and colleges. The world produced brilliant students before schools and colleges came into being. There is nothing so ennobling or lasting as self -study. Schools and colleges make most of us mere receptacles for holding the superfluities of knowledge. Wheat is left out and mere husk is taken in." The community of Bayfield's $80,000 fund raising campaign got a big boost last week with a $6,000 donation from the Lioness Club. Here Lioness treasurer Marg Mayman presents the cheque to John Siertsema, chairman of the Bayfield Community Centre board outside the front doors of the old arena, which will soon be demolished. The rest of the $320,000 cost of the new community centre will be paid for by government grants.
