See Only Juvenile Team Unless Industry Sponsors Judging by an informal survey mode this week, hockey fans in Goderith and district may have to get through the coming winter on a skimpy diet of their favorite sport. - Save for a strong likelihood that there will be ae juvenile team and the certainty that there will be the usual manor hockey program, there are no other signs of life on the hockey scene here. Last year at this time, there were plans afoot for intermediate hockey—though some of the plans failed to materialize. This year, there aren't even plans. Though many fans would like to see Goderich enter a club in inter- mediate or possibly junior "B" competition, neither the Goderich Recreation and Arena Committee nor the Goderich Booster Club seem inclined to take the risks involved. With many hockey teams losing mcrley, the attitude of the Gode- rich organizations is hardly sur - /prising. They wouldn't want to sponsor a team and then find them- selves deep in the red at the end of the season: Large Deficit Exeter Mohawks Booster Hockey Club knows how that feels. The Exeter officials are still $1,700 short of covering the deficit which the Mohawks :ncurred last season when they played in senior "B'a ranks. W. G. Cochrane, president of the Exeter club, announced a few days ago that it does not plan to enter a team in either senior or :titer- mediate ranks this winter because. of the financial difficulties. Unless new sponsors can be found, it has been hinted that Exeter may now fall back to home- brew hockey, possibly competng in a league with Lucan, Mitchell, Ilderton and Zurich. Despite a good deal of talk about intermediate or junior "B" hockey here, nee one has approached the Recreation and Arena G,ommittee with any plans for the coming sseasen. - So there- likely won't be any hockey of that calibre "unless some industry wants to sponsor it," says J. G. Berry, sec retary-treasurer of the committee. ,Walter Rathburn, president of Goderich Booster Club, says the members have no plans and haven't 'held a meeting lately. He feels that there should be a team in some higher classificaticn besides juvenile. The town has a good arena and' "can't leave it idle" as he puts it. Last year, the Booster Club con- sidered plans for an intermediate club bolstered by imports, but these plans were abandoned. In giving up, club officirls said that me of the main reasons was that Goderich could not ,find suitable competition unless it entered a group with teams like Durham, Paisley and Collingwood. The pros- pect of these long hauls, plus the high cost of paying players, caused the change of plans. Goderich was represented by the Maitlands last season in a home- brew intermediate 'league, but the Maitlands faded quietly out of the picture in league play-offs and there is little likelihood that they will be revived. The Maitlands did not have a sponsor. Clinton Plans? Clinton, like Goderich, had a .homebrew club last seascn. If Clinton decides to ice a good inter- mediate team this winter, it would not be surprising to see some Goderich players appear in the line-up. The juvenile club, which will probably be operated by Goderich Recreation and -Arena Committee Two Cars Roll Over. Blame Tire Trouble •Provincial Police said that tire trouble apparently caused two week -end accidents which resulted in heavy damage but no serious injuries. A Kincardine driver escaped serious injury when a tire blew out, causing his, car to strike a bridge and roll over :u the diteh along Highway 21, one-half mile north of Dunlop, early Sunday. The car, driven- by Glen Harris, 217, was damaged to theextent of about $600. The tire on theright front wheel of the car blew out as he was driving along at about 4 a.m. The accident was investigated by Prcvvincial Constable Ron, Dubrick, • of Goderich. A car driven by Mrs. Dorothy Gwyn, 304 of Clinton, rolled over ane and a -half times on the third ecricession of East Wawanosh Township at about 8,p:m. Saturday. The accident was apparently, caused when a tubeless tire on tie left front wheel developed a 'de- fect. Mrs, Gwyn and her husband, who Was also riding in the car, were only shaken up. Damage to the 19514 sedan was estimated at aroard $800. - When the tire gave • out, the ear Was pulled toiirard the left Shoulder and rolled over, coming to rest on its side. The aeltident was investigated by ProvincialConstable Alex. Twad- dle, of Goderich. Harbor Hill Start After Work is scheduled to start cit the re :surfacing of Harlfor 1-1111 road from Wellington street down right after Labor Day. The cbn- tract has beep ,awarde4 to the Levis Contracting •Company, oft Clinton, for $12,000. The contract also calls for the re -surfacing of the road leading from the foot of the hill to the office of the Upper Lakes end St. Lawrence Transportation Company and also down to the railway track; at the end of the harbor -side freight sheds, thence on to the office of the Goderich Elevator and Transit Company Limited. No re -surfacing will be done n Project To Labor Day the area beside the lawn west of the waterworks plant. The entire job is expected , to take about ten days. Some 11,000 tons of asphalt will be included in the job and there will be some scarifying and grading done, says Reeve E. C. Fisher, chairmt n of the public works committee. ,Reeve Fisher says that Victoria street will be ripped up this fall when base work, including grhvel- ling, will bo done on it. It will then be allowed to sit as is over the winter until next summer when it will be given a black top. In this way, the cosl of the road will be divided over a period of two years. this winter, will draw players from last season's Sailors, who brought this town. the all -Ontario Midget "B" championship for the second year in a row. About 80 percent of last season's Sailors are now too old for midget hockey. But there is a risk that some of the starry young players will be lured away from Goderich by junior clubs which have pro affili- ations. Larry Jeffrey and Dave Leeson have-- -invitations to attend the Burington junior "B" hockey camp. Bill Gallow and Bill Fritz - ley have been asked to attend ,Montreal Canadiens' hockey school this fall, and Ron Williamson, goalie of last season's champion- ship club, has been invited to work out with Dixie Beehives, a junior `5B" club which is spcosor el by Chicago Black Hawks. This does not necessarily mean that all of these players will join out-of-town clubs. If most of the 1956,57 champions remain in Gode- rich and play for the juvenile club, there should be some exciting hockey seen here this winter. One drawback to juvenile hockey is that few centres in this area have juvenile teams capable of making a strong showing against Goderich. If the juveniles are to draw crowds, it may be necessary to bring in teams from larger centres for exhibition games. There have been rumors in the past' that a couple of NHL clubs are interested in helping to spon- sor a junior "B" club in Goderich. But pro clubs don't sign blank cheques. Some Goderich organiz- ation will have to make a concrete proposal first tud prove that- it means business before any major club will throw in money. 0 0 0 Police Pick Up Two Boys, 16, In Stolen Auto GAIN Wee IOW ° SUb;crilatiOn• ice QANra Q4 $t°.4: iN .aa,r . $4.0Q Single Copietr e UT DOWN OF TRAIN SER Swimmers Tike Bows In Real 'Splashy' Show There was a good crowd on hand when local swimmers presented a 'Water Night" program at Judith Gooderhum Memorial Park Tuesday evening.

Due to the number of children participating, the water safety tests for beg'nners have not been com- oleted yet. Royal Lifesaving e, aminations, conducted by Mrs. A. M. Harper, .are to be held today and again on September 7. Considering the weather and the fact that this was the first time such an event has been held here, 'the . "Nater Night" program was well attended: It is pir.nned• to make it an annual show, says John Kane. Many parents and friends of the Wanted for questioning in con- nection with offences in five cu•itres, two 16 -year-old Port Bur- well youths were arrested here in ,aestolen car'befb•re the_cwner even knew it was stolen. Constables Martin Horan and L. Theriault, of the town police force, made the arrests and the youths were taken to Huron County Jail to await trial. B. R. Robinson, proprietor of the Royal Motel, called polio at about 4.45 a.m. after he heard someone attempting to start a car. According to police, he thought it might be someone attempting to steal his vehicle which was parked outside. When the constables arrived; they found the boys trying to start another car, however. The boys were questicned and Constable Horan discovered that the ignition of the cer was stuffed with,i tinsel. In the boys' possession, police found license plates off an Ottawa carand two sets of keys that didn't belling to the car in which pollee fotind diem. ,Picking the pair up on suspicion the constables soon learned that this car had been taken from Thed- ford, though the owner didn't know it until police contacted hint.

Col. K. E. Taylor, padre of Branch 109, was in charge of the service and delivered an address. After forming up at the gates of the cemetery, the veterans marched behind Goderich Pipe Band to the soldiers' plot. Ed. Stiles was piLtrist for the service. The color party was in charge of Ken Pennington while Ralph Kingswell acted as parade marshal. Trumpeter R. Kendall, of Clinton RCAF" Station, sounded Last Post and Reveille, and Pipe Major Bert McCreath rendered the lament, "Flowers of the Forest." All veterans' graves in the ceme- tery were decorated before the service. This was the first -decoration service held in recent years, and it is hoped that it will now be an annual event here. 9 C District Woman Is No. 10,000 At Huron Museum The 10,000th visitor of the year registered at Hunch County Pion- eer Museum on Saturday. • The per- son to whom this distinction fell was Mrs. H. MoCrostie, of R.R. 6, Goderich. The museum is heading for a new record as regards the number of visitors, and Curator J. 11. Neill and his staff have just released an interesting breakdown, showing where the visitoreoare om:ng from. If the museum depended on Goderich people alone, there would be an entirely different picture as regards attendance. Of the first 10,000 visitors of 195'7, only 470 came from this town. The vast majoritty who register- ed came from other points in On- tario. In fact, there were 8,595 people from other parts of the province, compared to 629 visitors from the United States.

With work proceeding day and night, the landscape west of Snug Harbor is constantly changing. Work on the rock salt mine plant isv being pushed ahead with all possible speed. ANCIENT LOG BARN IS STILL' IN USE;IN ASHFIELD TOWNSHIP ASHFIEI.JD, Aug. 26. ` A log barn of ancient vintage is still in use c ll the farm of J. F. Barkwell and his son, Andrew, at R R. 3, Goderich. It is in .Aslefield Town- ship on the County road half a mile south of Highway 86 at Loch- alsh, and is one of the few of its kind rcmaining in Western Cri- terio. The Barkwell farm was deeded by the Crown in 18.67 'to Sandy MacKenzie and the log harp was the first on the farm. In 1879 the farim was sold to john Arnistrc ng who built a Barger barn. Mr Bark well -bought the farm in 1913 and today uses- the old log barn for his two horses. Some of the cedar logs in the barn are 17 inches in diameter. All of them are solid and there is careful dovetailing of the corners of the log barn. Originally, pea straw was used to stuff the cracks betwec ui the logs, says Mr Barnwell, who ands that the barn is "always warm anal dry all winter."
