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.

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.
One hundred and thirty-nine
visitors came from Western Can-
ada, 64 from 'Quebec and 38 from
the Maritimes.
Outside of Canada and the U.S.,
the museum haste been toured by
persons from the British Isle (38),
The Netherlands (11), Germeny (8),
New Zealand (3), Italy (2), India (1),
Switzerland (1) and Ecuador (1).

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."
