While some 300 people were enjoying their fill of salads, ham and an immense
variety of pies, the ladies who organized the noon luncheon at the Wesley -Willis
church were up to their elbows in hot water. Bessie Steepe and Mary Dale
helped wash the mounds of dishes at the meal. Despite the hard work, the meal
was a success, bringing over $850. (News -Record photo)
Sports complex for Goderich Twp.
by Audrey Middleton
The go ahead button
was pressed into service
on Tuesday night for the
$400,000 sports complex
for Goderich Township at
Holmesville.
The decision was made
at a special meeting
between the Goderich
Township council, the
recreation board, Al
Sinclair, representative
of the Ministry of Culture
and Recreation and
several township tax-
payers.
The meeting proved
stimulating with a wealth
of information, questions
and answers directed to
and from Mr. Sinclair,
who brought government
approval to proceed with
the new community hall.
He explained that
Wintario and Community
Centres grants would be
available to help pay for
part of the major project.
As well, the township has
about $150,000 to put
towards the complex,
donated through the will
of the late Pearl Woon.
The will stipulated that
the money, originally
bequeathed by her
husband John Woon, be
used to build a township
hall in the couple's
memory. The complex's
only cost to the township
taxpayers will be its
future operation.
With regard to an of-
ficial feasibility study,
Mr. Sinclair said it has
already been proven to
him thati there is a need
for the hll and there is no
need to spend another
$1,200 to conduct such a
study.
Mr. Sinclair cleared
doubts of getting a
Wintario grant when he
explained that the
township's Wintario
application was made
last year and the file will
be kept open temporarily
until plans for the con-
struction and its itemized
costs are received. Once
they are received,
Wintario will give its
financial assistance up to
a year from the ac-
ceptance date.
With the deadline,
action will now begin in
earnest. It was decided
that once some concrete
plans and costs for
construction are
prepared, the executor of
the Woon estate, who is in
charge of the original
bequest to the township,
will be invited to a
meeting so that he may
study and hopefully
approve the plans.
Mr. Sinclair offered a
number of helpful ideas
to investigate in the
planning. He suggested
that other rural com-
munity centres be visited
to study and compare
their project and to
consider all possibilities
in making a building of a
kind that will generate
back to the township the
most money.
The township has
already done some
tentative work on the
project. An architectural
concept of a proposed
township hall was drawn

The WI annual meeting
and Sunshine Sister
banquet will be held on
up last year and
presented to the public in
a meeting. It was also
suggested that the hall be
built in conjunction with
the sports athletic field
being constructed on the
west side of Highway 8
behind the weigh scale
station. The- township
owns 12 acres of land
there".
"Too many arenas,"
Mr. Sinclair pointed out,
"are made with only one
thing (sports) in mind.
This becomes an
albatross because it's not
used for any other money
making project. Usually
it's hockey, then figure
skating, perhaps curling
and there's no place left
for the people."
He said that we must

learn from the Europeans
•m how to make a ver-

lack of space, Europeans
must build complexes
suited to many events,
from indoor track meets
one night, to a concert the
next and an agriculture

Gerry Ginn, chairman
of the building com-
mittee, explained that in
the immediate future the
township recreation
board would make an
intensified study on other
complexes, maintenance
costs and protection to
the Holmesville people
from too much noise,
