(photo by MaChessell) Varna has skating carnival By Mary Chessell Kids, big and little, turned out in force from this part of Stanley Township on Sunday for the annual skating carnival, while their "parents gathered around the wood stove in the hall for a good visit. Unfortunately, it's still difficult to interest people from the more distant area in events held here. A few parents donned the skates for a while, and many of them got in- volved in the broomball games. Wat Webster's absence was soon noticed, as he always is the oldest skater and it was learned that he had another commitment on Sunday afternoon. That prize went to Bill Chessell who by comparison, with Wat, is only a young lad. Michael Hayter was the boy with a birthday nearest the carnival date '• and Susan Dalrymple the - girl in that category. - The six children of the Harold (Manny) Dalrymples won the prize for most members of one family on skates, and three-year-old Brenda Consitt was the youngest skater. Bob Hayter was the fellow the the most change in his pocket. The aroma of delicious hot dogs and coffee kept Helen Faber and Mildred McAsh busy at the booth.

Goderich tries sports body GODERICH - In an effort to stimulate more in-• terest in minor sports, the Goderich Recreation Department is forming a Sports Governing Body. Recreation director Jim Moore said that the rec committee decided to„ form the board 'because some concern has been expressed over the future of minor sports in the . t -own. Thy plan that the proposed board would be in charge of minor hockey, baseball, soccer, ringetteand softball. - According to Mr. Moore, "People are fed .up with doing the same stuff " and having to look after travel, registration fees, officiating and coaching. It is grim. If more people don't get involved, there might not be minor sports in Goderich." The purpose of the new board would be to involve more people in minor -gots and 'alleviate ihe workload ' of a few in- dividuals who are in charge.
