"Ticker" Mero
Gets Golf Prize
A local golfer, Gerald "Ticker"
Mero, has received a handsome
engraved silver tray as one of the
top prizes in a nationwide tourna-
ment. Competing with 2,000 mem-
bers of the Bols Hole -In -One -Club,
"Ticker" was the second prize win-,,
mer for Ontario.
The tournament is open to -golf-
era who are registered with the
Bois firm as having scored a hole-
in.one. The 2,000 eligible players
entered the best confirmed score
attained during the week of
August 27.

Entry
With the collapse of their league, the Goderich Sailors,
of intermediate "A" fame, have dropped from the hockey
scene to make room for an intermediate "B" homebrew team.
The honaebrew crew, eoaehed by Ted Williams, local ' arena
manager, will play in a group with Clinton, Zurich, Ilcderton,
Mitchell and Lucan. "Nip" Whetstone is acting tempokarily
as team manager and Guy Emerson is business manager.
Groundwork for the new hoxnebrew club was laid largely by
Doug Cruickshank,
Practices Hole! '
Three practices have been held
already and the club, as yet with-
out 'a name, will probably play its
first game here during the last
week in November. So far, posi-
tions on the team are still- wide
open 'bttt a list of players will
probably 'be announced next week.
Originally, before the homebrew
entry appeared on the scene, it
looked as if there would be a
strong WOAA intermediate loop
comprising 'Goderich . Sailors, Ex-
eter Mohawks, Paisley, Mitchell
and Lucan.
Then, apparently, Mitchell and
Lucan got cold feet. Figuring that

Booster Club
It was at this point, after months
of planning and frustration, that
the Goderich Booster Club, spon-
sors of the Sailors, stepped aside
and left the ice .to the new home-
brew aggregation.
Exeter, a town with only half
the .population of Goderich, was
then accepted into OHA senior "B"
ranks. The Mohawks will play in
a league with Landon, Strathroy,
Woodstock, Sarnia, St. Thomas.and
Wallaceburg.
Jack Evens, who was the hard-
working manager of the disbanded
Goderich Sailors, states that re-
funds will be made to sports fans
who bought "privilege cards" for
the 1956-57 season. Goderich
Rooster Club has no immediate
plans for the future.
\ The members Just plan to sit
back for a change and watch (1)
t he homebrew .experi'ment here and
(2) the senior "B" experiment at
Exeter.
Bill Walsh, of Stratford, who was
_ought as playing-coa"h of the
Sailors until they folded, has been
released to the Woodstock senior
club.
Walsh had already handled one
practice ses:sioneat the arena here
before plans collapsed for an ij ter-
rne.diate "A" entry.
Now that the ice is in the arena,
minor hockey is gaining Momen-
tum, says Ted Williams, recreation
director. The midgets have had a
couple of workouts already, while
the bantams and pee wees are to
register this week -end.
Goderich Midgets, last year's On-
tario champions, look very promis-
ing again. The club has lost four
players, but, with new blood com-
ing in, it looks like the .team will
bb as strong as ever.
The midgets will 'play in a group
with Exeter, Mitchell, Blyth, Clin-
ton and Liman.
When paxbtam payers register at
the arena tomorrow afternoon, rt
iy hoped to form a !house league.
Out of these •boys, a team will it
picked to represent the town in
a WOAA bantam group which in-
cludes entries from Exeter, Clint -
ton, Lucan, Mitchell and Milverton.
The pee wees frena Goderich and.
district are scheduled to repast at
the arena Saturday at 10 a.m. for
regi traction. From these boys, a
team will be selected to represent
OoderIch in the Young Canada
Wle•ek pee wee hockey tournament
here duringrthe Easter holidays.
Ken Pennington has resigned as
leader of the Goderioh Girls'
Trumpet Band, with which he has
been asociated for the past two
years. A meeting is to be .held
next week to discuss theuture
of the band. A letter, o 'ninig
the reason's for Mr..Pennington.'s
resignation, will appear in iiex+t
week's Signal -Star.
• FISH IS WINNER
Fish, it seems, are not respectors
of high office. The finny -creature
hooked by Mayor J. E. Huckins
last week -end seemed intent on
pulling His Worship into Lake
Huron.
The mayor, who was angling
from the 'breakwall, hadn't had a
bite all day. Then it happened.
His rod was yanked almost out
of his hands. He never did get
to see the fish, and he Post his
plug and leader in the struggle.
The mayor figures it must have
been a pike --and a large one at
that. He has caught fish weighing
up to 10 pounds before on the
same line without mishap.
