The O.F.A.-merforthre.Tdays attheir annual convention. (photo by Cunningham) To those of you in the 'Sunny South' I want you to know you've missed some beautiful fall weather -- in the north. Altho' we are in for some rain - or worse - we can barely believe the great days we've had - and are still having in December. Someone said, `We had some "Squaw Winter" so this must be "Indian Sum- mer".' - and I agree. Sunday was beautiful . and Monday the sun seemed to be just beaming brighter than ever. The sunsets have been. breathtaking - and the grass needs cutting! - Last Saturday, cool, no snow, but GREAT- for the Santa Parade and Santa's Court af- ter. We certainly had hundreds lining the route - don't' know where they all came from or went to but they surely enjoyed the fine parade of bands, cute majorettes, great floats - a lot of clowns and walkers and FUN !- and a chance to 'see the new fire engine -- off duty. It was nice, in a way, to see the big new engine - and won- derful to see the old, old -oldie which the MOCHA Shrine Clu proudly drove around t streets. I thought Matt Ainslie was in his glory - He's so proud of that 'old fire engine and so glad he could get it here this year. The Snoopy Float, made by fellows at the G.P.H. (or O.H. as I always think of it) was just outstanding. Beautifully created, it would be a fine ad- dition to ANY parade. Altho' the parade was a little shorter, ' the floats and bands and par- ticipants were just wonderful. I want- to .say I'm proud of the lot 9f you and thank you very much! Whether a Shopping Plaza is built IN the town or out in the Township, the fact that the merchants have been working together to create a more beautiful Shopping Centre in the heart of Goderich is the most exciting news of the cen- tury. They can - and now I feel they WILL - create a Square Kinette cake winner named that 'everyone will be proud of and an elegant and ' attractive centre which' will bring the shoppers in regardless of what we have on the outskirts. Since Goderich is unique -,in many ways and things a great new look to fine old buildings will do wonderful thin:- for Goderich Town. I'm sure the majority of the people herewill stand behind this group because deep down we all love THE SQUARE and WANT it to be tops in Huron County - or South.western Ontario - for that matter. So let's stop panning our local merchants - let's take a better look at the fine merchan- dise they havg to offer. If `you think prices are high - you'd drop dead when you face them in the..,ity. While still thinking about Christmas, the parties - the parade etc. - I want to say "Thank you" to several nice people who helped' bag candies, helped give them out later and many who helped_ in other ways to make this December first a great day for everyone. Especially, I ---was pleased in the way our handsome Police. Chief and several of his good looking boys in blue helped with Santa's Court and the crowds of children on this ex- citing day. It was a sight to behold when a little one spoke up to Santa and just sparkled. I know they were just as moved by the emotion and. beauty of the moment as the rest of .us were. I'm always wishing someone would capturethis precious moment in a child's life,. on film. This Saturday is that GREAT FOOD fair at St. George's Church Parish Hall 2 p.m. They say 'Everything from mince meat to meat loaves' and that's the TRUTH! `Have fun at your Christmas Parties. just think how lucky we are to have so many nice friends and happy times. Love, Martha We are into the month of December and the curling is proceeding smoothly. Quite a few new faces are evident this year and we welcome them most heartily. On Tuesday, November 20 the Pfrimmer Bros. trophy was presented to Don Edward, Eric Moore, Jameson Ribeyvand Bill Brown. This rink was winner of the Tuesday night league's third and last draw of the 1972- 73 season. Speaking of winners, it would appear that at least eight of our members will be well fed this Christmas. The gentlemen in question are 3erald Walters, Tom Jasper, Don Edward and John Brownridge who won the 11 a.m. draw in Exeter on Dec. 1 and received a 25 ib. turkey each for their efforts. Another rink skipped by Cam Bogie and including Jim Hawkins, Phil Foster and Ralph Foster came in second in the 9 o'clock draw. Congratulations to you all. December is a busy month for us all but do jot down the following dates for your calen- dar. December 8 is the Shaeffer.__., Pen Men's Bonspiel. The draw is filled but everyone is welcome to come down and see some fine curling etc. The usual Boxing Day Mixed Jitney will take place on that day and more details of this fun day will follow at a later date. The big "do" in this month is of"course the New Year's Eve dance. Tickets are $15.00 a couple and may' be purchased from Fanny or any of the'Direc- tors. Dancing to the swinging sounds of the Happy Medium from 10 to 3 a.m. plus a buffet should make for a great evening. As usual the tickets available are limited so I urge you to pick yours up without delve. To give you a brief preview of what January has to offer, let me draw your attention to January 13 at which time the British Consul playdowns will take place at our club. This is to determine the winners for the right to go on.in the British Consuls competition., Club playdowns for the privilege of playing in this event wil,_1 take place before that date and'once again I must add that more in- formation will be forthcoming at a later date, both in this column andv on the club bulletin board. The Past Noble Grand's Club' of Goderich Rebekah Lodge 89 enjoyed a Christmas Party last Thursday evening in the Carlow Hall when Tiger Dunlop Women's Institute ser- ved them a delicious turkey dinner. The tables, were attractively decorated with Christmas holly - and lighted Christmas Tapers and Mrs... Ruth Hayden, president, welcomed thirty ladies to the Annual Christmas Sunshine Sister Banquet. After the meal the members, enjoyed discovering their secret sunshine sister and a game of 500 was enjoyed by all with the winners being Mrs. Elva Osbaldeston and Mrs. Elizabeth Sitter.
