A G DERICH ,INSTITUTION The eighth annual Young Canada Week tins come, Eared gone. !While all statistics are net yet available, there are sut'li.cieiit to indi- cate that this year': "1Biggest little hockey tournament in the world" has been the best ever. This has been the ease with each suc- cessive Young Canada Week. It i, reasonable to cou(lude, however, Mat this progressive improvement van not continue forever without the support of eer- tain vital factors. There is a saturation point ins the deveopinelit of many things_ But Young Canada Week need have no undue fear of the fiuture provided it continues to draw the wholehearted support that it is at present drawing fr.ol: this community.

As long as Gode- i ich can' help to contribute to this wise phil- osophy in the minds of hundreds of boys who �eP IMMIG come here from all harts of Canada, the town is rendering 0 truly, worthwhile service. Behind the scenes are numerous organi- zations and Unselfish individuals who contri- bute to the continued success of Young Canada Week. Without their interested support, Young Canada Week would fold up like a tent. First, them is tb,,e Lions. Club and the W.O.A.A., as sponsors of Young Canada Week. In the aforetnentioned organization there is the hard - w orking Young Canada Week committee which group put in a staggering; number of hours of work and the billeting i•onlmittee which had the responsibility of providing accommodation for the visiting players in private homes in lioderich. Then, there were the garages and also individuals who provided ears tree of charge for the transportation of the visitors. There was "Bisset Brothers" who supplied mounds of free ice cream for the hungry, younes hockey players. There were referees, both local and from a distance, who gave of their time and talent f.or free. There was the Goderich Pipe Band which added color and entertainment. There was "Ma" Prudery and her helpers who fed the youngsters. There was the Town of Uoderieh itself which made a financial eontribution to the event. There were the .newspapers, T.V. and radio stations whose publicity goes a long way toward mak- ing the event an annual success. In fact, there were numerous other contributors, whom we are bound to forget at this moment, but who were definitely in there pitching, too. Let's simply say that Young Canada Week is a success because everybody gets behind it. And as long as that is the case, Young Canada Week in Goderich will truly be an institution rather than just an annual sports event. RANTS ?- At-.th.e-- moment, there i°s an -upswing in She number of immigrants vomits -to the• llode- ieh .di riot.-. -W hile. there are .quite a number a Hungarian refugees, they are from other Muropean eonntries, as well. When more than 50 New Canadians r- cieived their Canadian citizenship papers at tttihe Court house recently, Crown Attorney Glenn Ilat�s. gave them kindly words of advice. Included in this advice was the ad- monition tp mix freely with Canadian residents and not to stay to themselves in a groups -This tendency is no doubt partly due to the feeling held by orae immigrants that they are re- aented by sotne Canadians. If any Canadians 'Field that attitude, they should cheek it, for, as (.'rowri Attorney- Bays poir4ed out, these New Canadians bring many virtues and quali- ties to this country and Canada has lid of .hem and +h•'ir ,•ontributions. Those Canadians who might -resent- im- migrants coming, Canada could well ponder on the views expressed below some time ago in Saturday Night : "Immigrants ? Poet Ned Pratt was an immigrant until two years ago, when we an- nexed his birthplace, Newfoundland. The Right Ilon. (1. D. Bowe is an immigrant. Stephen Leacock and W. II. Drummond were immi- grants.' The most famous man _among our musical cauiposers;"and about half of the rest of them, are immigrants. Going back a little, Lord Stratheona and Sir John -A. Macdonald were immigrants. Nobody- knew that they were going to be great when they immigrated; they came in like any other immigrant, just as ordinary young people. But isn't it lucky for Canada that we didn't throw them out on the ground that the eountry was full enough already, and they might put somebody out. of a job."

The splendid Nelson street resi- dence of Mr. Saunders, an organ manufact1irer, had been purchased a short time before by Judge T. M. Costello. Dr. A. C. Hunter, MOH, was invited to attend the next meeting of Goderich Public School Board to discuss the advisability of in- oculating the school children with scarlet fever toxoid. Mr. Justice Raney commended the truthfulness of a witness in a Supreme Court action at Gode- rich. When asked if he had pre,, viously talked over the evidence he was to give, with other wit nesses, ,the man frankly admitted he had. "There is nothing wrong about his having done iso," com- mented the judge. He found the man's honesty "refreshing." I. D. Eastman, Royal Bank mana- ger here, entered golf's hall of fame by shooting a hole -in -one at Maitland Golf Club. It was the second feat of this nature _stn _ the local course. Don Christian had shot one the previous year. On Saturday, Town Treasurer Knox paid - out - $626.63- to -68 men employed part-time " on public works, mainly on relief sewers. The sewers were expected to cost more than the $15,000 originally set aside for the work. 15 Years Ago Miss Marjorie Hays, daughter The Royal.
