Using the campus of the Mitchell District High School, the public school grounds, and the agricultural society grounds, a gathering of more than 300 farm young poeple from the two counties kept the sports com- petitions going from 9.00 a.m. until darkness compelled a halt. In the evening, with undiminish- • off aS Will e TELL WHERE TO BUY r$E GODERICH :SIGNAL -STAR ed energy, they held a square- dance competition in Mitchell town hall, then moved across the town once again to the Crystal Palace at the agricultural grounds, and finished off the'day with dancing to a ballroom orchestra. -The- full-day!s program brought an estimated 150 of the Junior Farmer group, boys and girls, into active competition. Club teams from each county engaged in sep- arate county tournaments in the morning and afternoon, which led to the naming .of Huron and Perth winners for boys, and girls. On the basis of the showings made in the county eliminations, all-star county teams were chosen, and inter -county games were played as the climax. The girls' all-star game came as the climax of the afternoon program, and the boys' game was played as a twilight feature, after the 300 had been served dinner in Main Street Un- ited Church. Huron had its chance to cheer in the tug-of-war event, which, like the softball series, began with an elimination series, for Perth run- ning parallel to a similar series for Huron, and then culminated with the champions of each county pull- ing against each other. A team of seven muscular young men from the Clinton Junior Farmers club outputted a North Easthope seven to gain points for the- western county. Management of the detail of the complex program for the day was in the hands of the two assistant agricultural representatives, Har- old Baker of Huron and David Armstr ng for Perth. R. E. White, agricultural representative for Perth, and G. W. Montgomery, agricultural representative for Huron, were masters of ceremon- ies. About ' 75,000 workers are en- gaged in the historic fine -linen in- dustry of Northern Ireland.

Phone 489 THICalvert SPORTS COLUMN �i Ee€ 9444,10 A strange .tale bf , coincidence that stretched across a 3 -year span, and in- volved two goalers who had successfully occupied 'the nets of a major league hockey team, was written during the Stan- , ley, Cup series last April. Back in 195.0, . in the midst of a semi- final Cup series, between Canadians and New York Rangers, the Canadiens' goaler Bill Durnan, seven times winner- Of the Vezina trophy, ,had the courage and sporting spirit to tell coach Dick Irwin: "Dick, I'm not doing the team any good. ' My re- flexes have slowed down, I'm through." • And so Durnan stepped out of the picture and .ended a career, to be succeeded by little Gerry • McNeil. But Rangers were roaring ahead, the wizardy of McNeil, then a rookie y, jungster, halted them only temporarily, and Rangers went on to •win the round, and give Detroit Red Wings a grim battle for hockey's most coveted prize. " On the Thursday night of April 2, last, Canadiens were defeated by Chicago Black Hawks, in a Stanley Cup Semi-final game. That game gave Hawks a 3-2 edge in a best Of seven series: One more victory, and the Chicago team was into the. finals, Canadiens were out. And the next garpe was in Chicago, before a fanatic, victory -mad Saturday night crowd scenting a Stanley Cup triumph for the first time in years. On the .Saturday morning, the long arm of Coincidence stretched across' the years. For this time it was little Gerry McNeil, the successor to Durnan, who waited on Coach Irvin, and declared: "Dick, I'm not .doing the team any good. My -nerves are shaky. My reflexes are shot. Put Jacques Plante into the net. He'll win a game for us." Irvin gave the matter lengthy study. McNeil continued to urge th@ change. It was a desperate gamble, but Irvin de- cided to take it. He benched not only McNeil, but three other regulars, tossed in four rookies, including Plante, a hawk - faced, sharp-eyed French -Canadian youngster who had played a few games for Canadiens during the season. Canadiens ral- lied in spirited fashion, won by 3-0, and first to greet Plante and throw his arms around- the rookie goaler was McNeil him- self, who had raced almost the complete circuit of the rink to congratulate his replacement: Plante played three more games after that: Chicago was eliminated with the dead -pan Habitant in the Canadien nets. Then, in the second game of the Cup finals against Boston Bruins Plante faltered, and Coinicidencii, if you like to call it that, entered. "You better put Gerry back in ther:'t Plante told Coach Irvin. So McNeil vos 'switched back; scored two shut -outs in the next three games, and Canadiens marched off with the Cup.
