Fate of GoifCiub No laughing matter
Elsewhere in this edition there is a
story on the proposed. sale of th.e Maitland
..Golf and Country Club. That episode is,
of .course, -a joke. The plight of the golf
• and, country club i,s'far°froM a' joke.
With aroui-ier 65 years , of • operation
under Lits belt the 1:ocal
crucia t te§r t t -•'t r" rie da '.'rTig? r.---
An,. appointed committee of the group
has already made a recoMmend,ati.on that
the property be sold to the town of
Goderich for the sum of S101,000.
In turn, town fathers have agreed tc
present to the { shareholders, of the
Mait-land Golf andCountry Club an intent
.to , purchase • the property at the,
recommended price.
If the country club must be sold then
we suppose it could probably be in no
better hands than— those of - our town
• daddies. Our only hope is, that — if the,
deal is 'finalized — the-us'e, of the golf and
country club remains as' it was'originally
•
intended —.for a golf and country ciubn
Mayor Harry' Worsell told .us that if the
towrr did take it 'over no major changes
are foreseen in the future. And we
sincerely believe that this will4be the 'case:
But what' re 11 bugs us . is the
possibility that a new n'raydr and council

hope and think nof, but the possibility
nevertheless remains.
There still may be an answer to the
shareholders' problems -- and with this in
mind, we hope the adjourned annual
meeting to be held at the club Wednesday,
April 7 will see a record turnijtof those
having a say in the matter.
It is easy. to oppose the selling of the
country ',club; anyone is capable of 'doing
that. But along with the opposition. must
come concrete ideas and
recommendations. , '
Otherwise, there • is» apparently no.
alternative -but to get rid of it. •
Rebels young .and old
. Bridging, today's generation gap is Soroe, rebels in youth, may have
' "hamper°ed by the .b,el,ief of some young apparently compromised with.. things. as

their own mistakes. They do not want to
dictate but ,do feel they can advise.
Youth's 'clear --vision may glimpse new

— from bitter experience — think they can
still show them some blind alleys to'avoid.
Easter's. affirmation
"Qh, `het" deathward -going tribes of
men, What do your lives mean?"
So Sophoclesthe ancient G reek
philosopher' asked and in .° all the
•centuries since, other men•have echoed his
qu-efyifl-tle langrr�e•of t ay..
Easter is a'rep.ly.
Ultimately all- our readings of the
meaning of our own lives are variations on
two answers. �--
. The first affirms that human life,is only
a froth -on ' the co'sm is yeast and that, •
therefore, human beings'are of no more
significance than flies in a summer, •
The second affirms that human life is
something more than " complicated
chemistry, that it passes from what we
inadequately' call matter to what we
inadequately call spirit — arid that,
