First off the tee will be the contenders for the Men's Championship. Then the two finalists of the Ladies' Cham- pionship will go.. The Ladies' Rosebowl finalists will follow this, provided that, one of the ladies is not in both the Rosebowl and Championship rounds. - In this case., the Rosebowl will be played earlier in the week. Then, the Men's Cham- pionship Day Tournament will follow. To qualify for this men, you must have played in at least nine Men's Nights. The Ladies' Championship Day Tournament will be nezt, and again, the ladies must have played in at least nine Ladies' Nights to qualify. The presentation of prizes will follow dinner.

Tickets will be available this week and next for the dinner and dance, at six dollars, if bought in advance, and seven dollars if bought at the door. For tickets see -Karl Campbell, Art Mountford, Shelagh Sully, or the Pro Shop. Now, let's look at the past for a. minute. Last week at Ladies' Night, a lot of girls decided to sweat it out at home, rather than at the golf course. The winner of the First Flight was Maxine Martin. Jean Knight won the Second Flight, and, Verne Frith took the honor in the Third Flight. Fourth Flight winners were Bertha McGee and Carol Hunter. Five ladies went to Owen -Sound fast week, to the District 20th Anniversary Tournament. - Out of eighty-eight entries, Maxine Martin won the Second Low Gross., Congratulations Max! The Junior Boys' Champion- ship Tournament was held at the club September 8, with twenty:six •._participating. The winner of the Bob Doerksen Trophy;' for the low gross, "was Paul Johnston. The winner of the handicap' event, The Vic Elliott Trophy, was Don Coughlan, a first year golfer. Other winners were Steve Davey, David Bedour, Larry McDougall, Ron Hesk, Del Mit• chelmore, ,;;David MacKenzie, Steve Palmer, Steve Chase, and Mark Hutchins. All other golfers received a prize too. The boys- have' determined that the next year will be even better. the President of the club, Dan Murphy, presented the trophies and assured the boys that next year will be bigger and bettor. He expressed the appreciation of the direc- tors to those who have conduc- ted the. junior program. It is always hard to say'good- bye, but never -the -less. we must bid farewell to John and Marilyn MacKay, who have moved to Toronto. Both were very active at the Maitland. John was on the Board of Directors, and Marilyn was the Ladies' Handicap Chairman. We will certainly miss them. Ladies and Gentlemen ...: it gives me great pleasure to an- nounce the grand winning team of the Men's Scotch Two -ball ... Vic Pope and• Harold Walls! The final decision wasn't made until the eighteenth hole, as the team of Ross McDaniel and Al Summer had the pressure on all the way. ; Whoever said you couldn't take a shower. in the middle of 'the golf course! At Men's Night. this spectacular event happened to Bobby Allin and Tom Jasper. I understand they are still a little wet behind the ears. Anyway, the winners of the night were Jack Gould, Bob Shrier, Tom Campion, Stan Kelly, and Bill Jones. The Papernick Trophy Tour- nament was held last Sunday. The grand winner was Rein Menzies, who had a terrific game. He had a gross .score of 77 and a net of 61',a which is very good golf. Ron Moore also had a net score of 61, so a tie was broken and Ron Moore became the runner up. This tournament is an annual over open to. members only, and is 18 holes, with handicap. The trophy is in memory of Ivan Papernick who was an avid golfer at the Maitland. Art Mountford has announ- ced that the Men's Invitational Tournament is full, so it should be a gq )d day.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RED CROSS Smoker Says: Three weeks in a new com- munity isn't very long to form an opinion but D.E. White, the new manager at the Bank of Nova Scotia, has already decided that Goderich will be a fine place to live and to work. Fir the moment Mr. White commutes to Caledonia each weekend to be with his family but he is just closing the deal on a new home and his wife and two preschool youngsters will be moving to Goderich later this month. "Goderich seems to be a fine place to raise a family," he notes, "and it will be nice to be back to a beach again." Mr. White grew up in Sarnia, near the beaches there, but during his stay as a banker irl Caledonia one thing he missed was being •near the water with real open beaches. ' One thing stands out in his mind about small communities. "It's easier to get involved in the community,'not like in a big city where you just go home and read the paper," he says. The new manager holds fond memories of Caledonia in that respect 'and foresees Goderich, though slightly larger, as being much the same. From what little he has seen to date the hanker regards Goderich's econeinic "Situatmon favorably as well. "In many ways Goderich is bustin' open at the seams," he observes. "There's no unem- ployment to speak of and there's a wide diversification in industry." "It's a tourist area as well I guess," he adds, "because its a very pretty area, just like your welcomb sign says." Looking at the economic situation in general Mr. White suggests' that -consumer education on financial management and planning in the schools might do a great deal to help the next generation better manage their funds and deal with inflationary problems. "In fact," he suggests, haps we should push for mor'of this sort of thing in the schdols." "I understand now that some courses are available in high school but perhaps it could even be made a major subject, or expanded, on a -basic scale, into the elementary schools," he suggested. "People are earning and spending more money all the time," Mr. White said, "and that makes it more important that they learn how to handle it." If the education system provided such programs Mr. White feels it would help to protect this generation's invest- ment in the next. Consumer 'banking, he ex= plains, has been one ?if the fastest growing areas ,of business with the charter banks and people should feel at ease about going to their bank—for financial advice. The new manager admits that with the change of managers aL a bank branch many people feel ill at ease. "Perhaps a customer has built up a rapport with the for- mer manager but do:. got know how the new mana' •r will be to work with. This unfortunate and difficult for the new manager as well as th customers and puts a strain o both," he says. D. E. White hopes to over- come this difficulty as'gnickly as possible. Over the Labor Day weekend the Goderich Police Falcons (Pee Wee) took on the coaches of the Huron Minor Soccer Association In a game at Agriculture Park but went down to defeat by a 5-2 score. The same weekend the team travelled to Toronto where they met an All-Star Peewee sold that city losing by a 5-1 tally. In their own Huron however, the team is maintaining a firm N n le H.M.S.A. photo flrlP on first D Falcons wings clipped The Goderich Police Falcons had their wing s trimmed over the holiday weekend when they travelled to Toronto to take on the best players selected from TOO boys of the Toronto house leagues. Playing in heat of 90°, and playing with a weak side, 'they tasted their first defeat, going down 5-1. • They never recovered froni two penalties handed to them inside a minute, early in the fijst .half of the, game. At half ime they were down 3-0 but w en a well placed kick by Pete Duckworth found the back of the net. it put new life into them and they fought desperately to get even with the city boys, only t., see the opposition come back strong with two more well taken goals. The coaches said they were well pleased with their perfor- mance. Without - the regular goalie. Jo Jo Watt, and without John Grace, and with Pete Duckworth playing despite an arm, in a cast, the team cer- tainly did not let Goderich or Huron Minor Soccer down ac- cording to 'their coaches. On' Labour Day, with the team weaker than ever, they had a lesson in soccer given them by the coaches of H.M.S.A. Many of' the coaches play senior soccer regularly in the `Lltmdon.League but being short handed the Police Falcons rein - (Continued from page 2) ,. found it a delightful place.—SO- we lace. So'we decided the best 'place to spend Laboray weekend 1973 would be your - lovely town. Street after street of graceful old homes, the' square with streets running from it like a wheel, the best museum inn "On- tario and of course lovely Lake Huron. So much to offer! . Why then does your police department allow hocidlums to use the square for racing? For that is what occurred in the early hours of the morning Sep- te,mber 3. We were staying at the Bed- ford edford . Hotel and ..had a room facing the square and at 4 a.m. we were awakened, by the foulest language. It made me cringe. I felt as though we were in the midst of the filming' of gangster, movie. That the language was ob- scene was bad enough but they were shouting with no regard for anyone. saw the police station and it is near the square. Surely someone was on duty to hear these creeps racing their car around the circle then up and down the streets! I can only assume that the police 'are afraid of these hoodlums, and the people of the town-ar% afraid to complain for fear of rOcriminations. Why else are these vermin allowed to get away with such actions, and do they crawl into the' woodwork in the winter or - heaven forbid! - do they race their snowmobiles around the square as a winter sport? I pity the manager of the Hotel, for when we asked him where the police were when this was going on, he said ,.he has complained to the town council and they merely shrug their collective shoulders and say they can .do nothing. Now I realize that the laws are so lax now that the judge just taps these offenders on the fingers'and gently admonishes them to "be good." But only a spineless police department would let them get away with this. Why not show some authority and demand some respect. I hope the good people of Goderich will ask for a more active police elate, and that parents will teach .their chii•iren respect for other people's rights. (MrS.) Irene Dernesch St. Jacobs. forced their team with three. Pee Wees. The first half was an even match with the play going from end to end. The coaches scored ,first but Iain Lambert soon evened it up. The coaches came right back with another goal only to see the Falcons reply with a second lain Lambert marker bringing the half time score to 2-2. In the second half, the ex- perience of the coaches told and they scored three unan- swered goals. Mike Moriarty of Goderich, playing in goal for the coaches, was - the outstanding main on the field and the coaches agree that they owe their win to Reba' 1,ill: I od K► jip`a' pall foot) Sizzler bay um e5; of Mike's fine, goaltending; Ray Harris from Grand also played a Cine gam was the General of thea After the game there several' comments abou Falcons fine play an. uajority of the coaches: that this was the best' side they. had seen and kept' toget her, it could res places.
