You forget about the miserable weather during the week, when the weekend,is nice. Here it is a week into June .but it still looks like early spring. The lilacs are out in all their_ glory - and fragrance - the tulips are still beautiful. The apple trees are pink and white - and the cherry trees managed to bloom without getting frosted, At least in our area they seem to have su,rvived. This weekend the Sorority Ball. The weather and growth is about the same as in other years for,the Bali - but it is a week or two later than in other _years*. This . was always a "Spring Ball" and we tried to have it in time for the lilacs. I wonder how the group, who usuatly have their "Lilac Tea" in May, managed this year? An interesting meeting last, _Saturday gathered about thirty, concerned citizens together to discuss the proposed Recreation .Complex. Hundreds of letters were sent out and ad- vertising advised he reason, place and time Thirty erianizations receix special , letters. There were thirt\( some people present some, organizations not repre ented. Many people ,jus could 't at- tend and others for . T is is alw"ays the way. But "a few, people thoroughly discussed •ke.. many. questions, ideas a d recommendations. I just hope those who didn' make the meeting don't se themselves up as critics of what 'is being done. So often they are quick to criticize or they disregard the issue completely. - This recreation complex is not just a SVORT complex - there are a great many interests besides -active sports. Think about it. In November a goodly num- ber attended the meeting and members of the Lions Club, for one, were very enthusiastic - about the issue and ready t� help 'the fund raising which will be necessary. Other clubs agreed that for a fast growing community the complex should be started as. Soon as possible. All agreed that a pool and another sheet of artificial^ ice was badly needed all year round. MacKay Hall is crowded .day and night with ac- tivity - and as a community centre it leaves - much to. be desired. Therefore a building with sufficient , space for meeting rooms, workshops, facilities for art and crafts, a place where young and old alike could congregate, do things and •enjoy themselyes ° should not be a dream any C longer but a- reality. • A concert hall for music and the performing arts is sadly , needed here. And so is banquet hall and dance space needed - and, this floor might also make for roller skating the year round. There are so any wonderful ideas that can be crowded into this one complex if we can' just get it going. Discussion of building sites brought out the fad that there is a great deal of space - right• in the middle of the town, being wasted. Agriculture Park is within the !each of everyone, yet it is being used a few times a month by race fans who are mostly from out of town. Because we have no parking facilities for these people, attendance is dropping off, , and the town- speople certainly couldn't sup- port this 'Sport of kings! *If this sport could be located in the wide open spaces where there could be proper parking areas, better seating and better arrangements the race fans would flock in to Goderich again. At the Park the 'centre sport area used for'ball games soccer etc.,- byboys of all ages would be available all week and more people could be encouraged to watch these games if there is 'off the streets' parking. The Rec:, building itself could become a reality. , As. for the raising of funds - look at what Kincardine has raised recently for a new arena and,sports and community cen- tre. Are we going to Jet Kincar- dine show us how? With ice the year round we cars have hockey schools, or figure skating classes - AND public skating all year. The young people need roller skating all year instead of a lit- tle ice skating and a little roller skating during the year, both these' sports keep the kids ac- tive and out of the pool room - at least, off the streets. They don't get into too much ischief with skates on. Our senior citizens could use ork areas as well as play a eas. Perhaps they are not quite as active as a few years ags , but let's not bog them do n with inactiyity. wou tre a pool.

Ernie McMillan and Margaret Frayne repeated the patternagainst Wingham. Both of these competitions took place in Goderick. Not quite so successful on the road, David Ross and Ernie McMillan managed to tie Seaforth, both the prepared and impromptu debates while Pat Conlon and Nancy O'Keefe won the prepared and tied the impromptu in Clinton.

This was the first year Goderich ha q fielded a .Junior Team.
