The Goderich Signal-Star, 1954-09-02, Page 4THE GODERICE SIGNAL -STAR 111111111111111111111111111111 The warning knell was sounded as managers,- coaches, and assisted at a meeting of Goderich Recrea- in other capacities. tion and Arena ?Committee last week when Deputy Reeve Jod. Al- laire warned, "If we don't get to work on our hockey set-up soon It's time once again for the big Labor Day harness racing card at the Goderich track, and a banner list of entries has been scheduled we,rnay find ourselves in a jack- for each event. Five classes will be run off next Monday afternoon with purses totalling $2,000. The classes are; 2.30 classified, purse pot." For the past year, ever since the committee was formed to handle • recreation activities in Goderich, there have been $300; 2.25 classified, purse $300; wrangles at different intervals over how to make the arena show a profit. Lifeblood of all arenas is hockey. ,.Without a good hockey Itearne it's hard to expect crowds at hoeltey games. Without croli it's difficult for an arena to m et cs \ even operating expenses. LaSt year, an intermediate hockey squad was entered by Goderich in WOAA competition and ended up winning the WOAA Intermediate "A" 'title. The team was a good one. Still, there were only a few games all winter that attracted good crowds. One reason for this, we believe, can be traced to the fact that there were teams in the -league in which the GaderiCh team 2.23 classified, purse $400; 220 classified, purse $400 and free-for- all, purse $600. And as an added attraction this year, the Goderich Trotting and Agricultural Associ- ation is offering a $50 cash award to the owner of the horse 'breaking the track record of 2.06.. If the record isn't broken, another $50 will be added each year until a new record is set. , Last year, patrons saw a top-notch race meet here which was featured by Lena's Boy, owned by Reg McGee and Sons, Goderich, winning both heats of the 2.18 class in times of 2.09 and 2.12.
