Blyth Sta
Hockey weekend in Blyth
By Kathy Bromley
Last weekend was labeled as "Hockey
Weekend" in Blyth. The Industrial Leagaue
and Blyth Minor Sports organized a tourna-
ment beginning November 14. Teams par-
ticipated from Goderich, Lucknow,. Blyth,
Monkton, Donnybrook, Bluevale,
Holmesville, Zurich and Exeter. Pucks
were flying Thursday and Friday night, and
all day on Saturday. Saturday night a dance
was held with "Lively Loo" a disc -jockey
supplying the music.
Many people and various clubs involved in
sports - Blyth Minor Sports, and Figure
Skating helped in making the tournament
the success it became. Hot plates of various
foods were on sale upstairs at all times.
Sunday was the day for the completion of
the tournament. In the grand finale Zurich
took the "A" Championship by defeating
Ernie's Road House of Goderich, while the
"B" Championship went to Lucknow who
captured their victory against the Goderich
Sunset team:
The tournament was a huge success and
the proceeds will go towards the Blyth
Minor Sports. A special thanks is extended
to everyone who assisted in any way.
Congratulations to the Blyth Tykes who
won their game in Clinton on Saturday, by
defeating them 7-5. The proud looks on their
faces said it all as they came off the ice.
Way to go boys! Keep up the good work!
How is your team doing this year? Help
me to keep the public informed by calling in
any particulars and outcomes of your
games. My number is 523- 4497.
Is it fall, spring or winter?
By Kathy Bromley
It was very encouraging outside this
week, seeing all the signs of fall ( all but the
rain of course! ). still being in our midst, in-
stead of Old Man Winter.
Numerous Canadian. Gese are still flying
in and landing at Jackson's pond. Obviously, •
it hasn't turned cold enough yet for them to
be adjusting their compasses to fly south!
Not only that, but Mother Nature seems to
be bewildered, and fin' good reasons! Ap-
parently, due to all of the rain that we have
been experiencing lately, I too much in fact l ,
the trees are in bud again.
Monday was another day of assurance of
fall being here after observing a blue jay
(from the bird species, not the ball
athletes!) perched up in one of the lilac
trees.
But, 'unfortunately, all good things must
come to an end. The weatherman is now
predicting colder temperatures and snow
flurries for the later part- of the week. I
guess I couldaiways look on the other side of
the coin, as hard as it is to get myself to flip
it! I should be relieved to know that with all
of the dampness out of the air,. when it does
turn cold, there is less chance of viruses be-
. ing in the midst. The fanners can also get
out on the land again to -harvest the corn that
has been so hard to obtain ,this year due to
the wet weather. Last but not least,
everyone wants a white Christmas
anyways.
Winter is corning and will soon be here to
stay. In fact, it may be showing visible signs
as you read this addition. Is• it safe to
presume that these are some of the COLD,
hard facts of life?
The Blyth Firemen were called to the
premises of Don Greidanus', lot 31, conces-
sion 10 of Hullet Township on Saturday in
response to a chimney fire.
Sympathy is extended to the families of
Art Heffron, William Carter and Mgrs. Ron
Baird who have died.

amusing story you wish to share? Call me

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: We can learn
something from the parrot, which is content
to repeat what it hears without trying to
make a good story .out of it.
