weekend quiet
As far as „Goderich Town
Police and, the .Goderich

Pfairri ctafT'Police; ar rFOT c eci;
Labor Day weekend in this
district was "very quiet". •
A spokesman for the OPP
p.m. after an exhibition game
between girls from Clinton and
girls from Goderich:
The final tally in the game for
grand champions was• 6-2 for
the Clippers with cheques going
to• the winners and runners up.
Officials cite the tournament
this year as "really •successful"
with teams coming from farther
afield than last year. Plans for
1971 call for more invitations to
go outwith the aim of increasing
.the size of the tournament. • '
Attendance this year was well
over that set ";or the first
where it would have ended. But -the -Toronto team isalittle
above the cut of th usual it seems. On Monday morning the
whole team headed for the .hospital. were Past was staying fora
few days as a result of the injury, and presented her with • a I
Blue Mountain Pottery farm yard plaque, complete. with
:=..animals. If you have ever visited the Blue Mountain Pottery P.
_E.� works at Collingwood, -you will Itnow how popular these .=
plaques are and how, much they are worth. _
• There is no doubt in our minds that the gift took away
__ most of the pain'for the young ball fan. We have no doubt that
the action has . cemented a bond of friendship between
Goderich and the 'big city of Toronto,at least as far as ball
'players go. P.
The team may have lost the game Sunday, but they had one .
• heck of a victory Monday. We hope they will com_ a back,again g.
