More than 100 little fellows have played in this league every, Saturday morning, under the watchful eye of Walter• Westbrook, who has been acting as coach of the pee wee teams. Walt will choose an all star team from these teams and practises will start soon with this team, which will represent Goderich in the Goderich Lions Clubs' Young Canada Week, being held here dur- ing Easter week. It will be quite a job to choose an all-star club from so many players, but the records show that Willie Gallow finished the season with 18 goals; Dave Leeson, 13; Art Peachey, 11; Larry Jeffery, 6; Tom- my Morris, 6; Chester MacDonald, 5; John Payne, 5; Billie Fritiley, 5 and Doug Feagan, 4.

The bone of contention was the protest of A. E. Jennings on the • council's proposed closing of the road allowance to the lake- front at lot 1, Colborne Township. After a discussion and explan- ation by the council outlining their reasons for the proposed by-law, Mr. Jennings agreed that the coun- cil had been working on and were definitely concerned about the need of a road to the lakefront beach for the benefit of the public. Mr. Jennings said that had he known more about the council's overall plans he would not have sent to the Signal -Star for publica- tion the letter he did. - He ,said he was satisfied with the inform- ation the council gave him at the meeting Tuesday afternoon and felt the council was making every effort to have a road to the lake- -front ake -front for the public but he also added that, for the present, at least, he would continue to object to the closing of the roadway in question. All members of the council were present for the meet- ing. Communications were received from the following: Mr. B. M. Ross, h Special Church Service Marks Education Week "Education Week" observance was launched here on Sunday when a special service was held in Knox Presbyterian Church, also at the Baptist Church, and reference was made in sermon and prayers in North Street United Church. At Knox Church, the service was attended by Collegiate and Public School teachers and mem- bers of the boards of the Goderich District Collegiate Institute and the Public School, with their wives and husbands. , A children's choir of 42 voices under the leadership of Mr. W. H. Bishop and Mr. Gordon Walter sang the anthems, "Birds Are Singing" and "Hushed Was the Evening Hymn." The Rev. R. G. MacMillan con- ducted the service and preached the sermon and Principal H., M.

' ST, GEORGE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH CHOIR OF FORMER YEARS. iNECalvert SPORTS COLUMN 4 3me 7e4faddez There are those sports followers who believe that, in matters of sport, the Cana- dian colleges have withdrawn too much within themselves, , by .limiting, mainly, their athletic competition to inter -college play. Some critics even go' so far as to intimate that there should be, in Cana- dian college football, a "bowl" game between east and west, played annually. This writer is not in agreement with 'such theories. We believe Canadian colleges have struck a very sound perspective in their survey of sports, by making study the paramount thing. We think it will be a sorry day indeed when the only standard have for collegiate su we err r' g o rty is the ability . to win at foot- "ba1l, h-o-Ekey, or other g.. ,;, ports can be justified as sport in our educational system ly when played primarily for the student body and by the boys who are enrolled through normal channels. These boys should desire to play as a normal phase of their collegiate life. We don't believe the. day will ever come in Canada when, even in ratio, collegiate sport will reach the highly commercial- ized status achieved by the American football teams in the. myriad "bowl" games played on New Year's Day. There were 'at least 12 of these in the United States, ranging from the Peanut Bowl in Georgia to the gigantic Rose Bowl show in Pasadena. Over two million dollars was netted, aria turned over to the competing schools and Conferences and associated institutions that shared in the cuts. That's all very nice. But if you happen to reflect on the situation, and get beneath the money, the roses, and the glam- our, and the printer's ink so profusely spilled, ,it may sudden- ly dawn on you that these things have no educational value, that it may be an insult to the educational process to turn college boys into a trained act to be trotted out before the clamoring throng.. But the golden ladle is there and the ap- peal is apparently hard to resist. So credit is due to those American schools which rejected this last act of mass entertainment and told• their players to go back to their studies. This, year's bowl extravaganzas were bigger and louder than" ever, but each year the available cast grows more limited, as one smaller school after another, and some of the larger schools, too, abandon an enterprise which places the emphasis on physical power. So we should be a little proud of the fact that Canadian colleges permit no such commercialization of the students.
