Goderich's Police Chief managed to chalk up 54 miles in a gruelling 24- hour walk to raise money for Terry Fox -.Marathon of Hope. Hundreds of dollars were raised , as local people came out t6 pledge money and support Chief King in his marathon walk. Despite near moments of defeat, the 52 -year-old man walked continuously around the quarter -mile high school track, only , stopping for 10 minutes every two hours. But Chief King was not alone in his marathon and through the wind, rain, night and sunshine over 250 other stfpporters walked along with Chief King during the 24 hours. Chief King made the impetuous challenge to walk on a Terry Fox phone-a-thon, insisting that he would walk around the high -school track if the public would raise the, $250 necessary to bring the total pledge money from the Rhone-a- °thon to $15,000. Allstar Team were as follows : Stanley Stars • - Loretta. Ayotte, Judy Crown, Patti Morn- mersteeg; Varna Agricos Audrey Triebner, Kathryn 'Horton, Marion McNutt; t'..�oodtimes - Put MacDonald,- Lynda Talbot, Bev Semple; Blue Shadows - Cathy Fisher, Nancy Schilbe, Pat Reder. The Babes played without Nellie Klumper, Terri Rau, Kate Walden and Wendy Tyndall but added Wendy Crittenden from the Blue Shadows to make a full team. The Bayfield Babes wound up the season on Sunday afternoon with a fun game against Bluewater Centre, 'B' champions af- the Goderich Slo-Pitch League. The Babes could only raise five of their own New curlers invited for winter season Members of the Bayfield Curling Club are reminded of the general. - --meeting . being-- held on Lampoonery By Bud Sturgeon Around the `Hollow' a much used expression, "There's nothing on!" was often uttered when asked about the night's lineup of television viewing. " This year there may well be more fact than fiction to that statement, if the actors strike soon doesn't come to an end. Looking on the bright side, judging from the proposed fall lineup of programming, maybe we'd all be better off if• they never went back t `work'. Anyways, we're into ouri third!or-fourth week Iof the new season, and nothing outstanding has boobed across the tube et. Take for instance that new Japanese western called "shogun" that ran for g week,„,straight. I found there was a lot moor talk than action, on, and most -unfortunately humble -Reader-sons, the talk was mostly in Japanese. That's allwell and good for those of you that can speak fluent Japanese, but I have not mastered the language as of yet. The 50 percent of the show that I could understand, most was commercial time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the entire gist of the show seemed to be about a bunch of Oriental cowboys who couldn't afford guns, cattle or horses, so they rode around on asses and used swords and women instead. (And not -necessarily in that order.) But looking at TV life from a different slant, a big squabble developed between the CBC and some of its viewers over sports broadcasting. With the Montreal Expos engaged in -a tight race which could lead them to the World Series, the CBC in Toronto decided that fans would watch the Toronto Blue Jays battle for last place in their division. The big break came when CBC decided to carry a Saturday . afternoon game between the Expos and Pirates. What would happen if the First Ministers Conference, (which was also being broadcast that day), didn't end on time? Would the viewers watch the likes of Trudeau,, Levesque, Davis and Lougheed or would it be Sousa, LaFlore, Dawson and Fryman? The final score was Expos 1, Premieres 0. I had a great idea for a new TV show that I thought would be a hit. It was to be called Slop- in a Pot and feature weekly recipes sent in by viewers. The first week would have gone something like this; How to make a moron stew. Take one large. pot and add a cup of water. Slowly pour in members of the CBC's executive. Stir in the CRTC. Bring to a boil and add members of the Censorship Board to taste. If more personal humiliation is required, add the Liquor Control • Board of Ontario and simmer! I just didn't know where a big enough pot to hold all those degenerates could be found. -Getting back to, the real world, good luck in finding something -of interest to watch on TV this season. If you appreciate earth humor, you might want to see Maggie Trudeau make a fool of herself on 'Big City Comedy', or if your preference leans more towards contrived material, check out the local news, weather and sports. The ''best laugh going this year is the Global Version. As for me, I think I'll tune in to municipal politics. Are you a slave in your - basement?
