Signal- I Some 600 fans—about 35 per cent of them youngsters -- attended the wrestling show at Goderich Arena last Saturday evening. And many of them including the writer of this artielo--wondored• -wry"---there_.were=rnot--three-,tin s-.asV.raan ... in attendance. • As wrestling shows go, it was a .;good card, with plenty of action and should have drawn a far larger atteranee n it did. "What's the matter?" might well lad diked. Some sug- gest that the Arena should put en more attractions, such as wr stling, for example. But when a ,good card is put on, wiere is the attendance? • It was .suggested that Saturday was -not a good night and a week night would be . better; also that the Lucknow centennial hurt the attendance; also that the evening was too warm; etc., etc., etc. But the cold fact. remains that the attendance was poor for a good wrestling cardsuchas was put • on, So let the fans who are crying for .more entertainment at the Arena explain that one. One elderly, grey-haired lady seemed to be getting her money's worth, however. At a ringside Seat, she,never failed to jump from her seat and rush over to the ring, pounding her fists on the mat to denounce' sgme action or other of a "bad wrestler." The card was put on by the Central Canadian Wrestling Association, who hired the Arena for $100 for the night to put on the show. In charge of -the wrestlers was a gentlemanly young man, Bill Meliby, of Toronto, who learned his wrestling at Central YMCA, Toronto. He wrestled'in one'of the events With Mr. Moto, a top TV Japanese wrestler in the game. He also took on a, big 550 pound bear in a wrestling match. Four midgets were seen in team wrestling and although they pulled, their punches more than the heavyweights, they put in plenty of action. These same midgets remained on in Goderich over the week -end -and. spent most of their time swimming, or lying in the sun at Goderich' Harbor. Two heavies staged a fast match in the opening event. Museum Kept Busy Tracking Down Ancestors .Of Visitors :Returning to the scenes of one's many childhood after an absence oi• Y years is a popular outdoor pastime during. the,-summer::mant1is.-• EVe hamlet, village and town has its quota of such out-of-town visitors each year. .Goderich often has them. and now the Huron County M'i.iseum is being subjected to a barrage of inquiries from visitors • inquiring as to their ancestors in some part of the County. Supposedly for the displayof old, historical items, 1 the Museum finds now it is -being asked to try and' track down facts concerning ancestors of people visiting the ,district after an ab- sence of many. years. Mr._ George. J. Currell at the Museum is armed with numerous , old, historical books and tries his best to give the visitors what information they de- sire. -Take the case, for example, of a woman from Victoria, British Columbia, who visited the Museum recently. She said she left Huron County when only a' child but vag- uely remembers walking • from the village ' of Hensall a `distance of about two miles to. a cemetery .be- side a creek. Mr, Currell looked up a map and found that could be either' in, Stanley, .Tuckersmith or Hay townships since two miles from' Hehsall could land one up in either of these 'townships.. lie eventually found that the ceme- tery the woman sought was in Tuckersmith and even pointed it opt to the woman on the map. In other • cases, he • has, found the names • of parents, "grandparents and even great-grandparents for visitors living in distant centres, mostly in the United States, a returning here for the first ti in many years. To date attendance for the sea- son at the Museum is 8,609 visitors. At this time last year it was 7,393 so that attendance is up by more than -1400 -over -last: year. .
