The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-07-28, Page 5WY' ipr axe lacks ieiiowship Dear Editor, Three yearsago anew ball league was formed in Goderich. I2 is •called the G:oderieh .ladies'Mow-Pitch League and it now consists of seven teams, an executive, a tournament .committee and a lot of hard working . dedicated coaches and umpires that help make the League. G.o.derich• SHOULD be proud of us? But now we seem to be running into a lot of disputes, grudges, hatred, back - stabbing, gossiping and the �fundam,entais .or the potential of the SPORT are completely forgotten! There is no , FELLOWSHIP, SPORTSMANSHIP and no _fee n. Mistakes can be made; and fair erg urnents,' Opinions, reasoning, changes and sound. judgements are LETTERS needed for bettering our league. All these should be voiced at our open and general meetings at o a committee level, not like at a " war table". More order and FRIENDSHIP should happen at our: RECREATIONAL meetings. Another important thing that our league needs is full support, respect and representation from our own home teams in out-of-town tournaments. • I was thoroughly embarrassed by same of the teams in the League daring the Formosa slow -pitch" tournament last • weekend. We need each other's support in order to bring , back our prizes, trophies and reeognition back to our home town. i have been told that the only problem with being a. "geed sport" is that you have to tos_e toprove it Let's make this a fun -filled game, a chance to keep fit, a chance to make new friends, , a chance to better ourselves and let's show- our children what it is like to .play in an adult activity. instead of letting our children spew us how to play hal!'. Marilyn Albin, A Goderich Ladies' Slow -Pitch League Player. Thanks for the hospitality Dear Editor, We are delighted and proud to have been a par- ticipant in exhibiting in your annual ''Festival of the Arts and Crafts" in Goderich July 22-24. We wish to commend you on the very fine way your Festival was organized from the friendly welcoming at the registration desk to the continued interest shown to us throughout the exhibition.

Thank you `for your hospitality. Cordially, - Stewart D. Thaler, Grace (MacMath) Thaler. Generosity 'appreciate • Dear Editor, One year agd the Signal - Star wrote an article about the Homestead Group Home. At that time, 'we had only temporary licence to operate the hemp undeer, the of Community :.nd Social Service. We are pleased to announce that . the Homestead has been granted a permanent licence with high standing. We would like to thank the -Goderich community for their support through our first year. As well, we ap- preciate the co-operation shown by both Public and Separate School Systems. We thank our families and friends for their supportive encouragement Two community clubs ll4nznmstr‘ �-k 1 deseae-,; tlectal mention - The Royal 'Canadian Legion Branch 109 and the Goderich Optimist Club. Because ' of the donation from the Legion; we purchased and installed a dishwasher. This equipment allowed us to meet the health regulations of the Ministry of Com- munity and Social 'Services as well as further allowing us to increase the number of children to five. Through the generosity of the Optimist Club, , we were able to pur- chase camping and canoeing gear for our summer The generosity and con- cern shown by both organizations and the community is greatly ap- preciated ' by the staff and children of the Homestead Group Home.

Take the hint Pierre Dear Editor, Our wonder -boy is once again a celebrity, being offered approximately $5000,000 to retire. In my opinion, he cannot legitimately accept this money because it is a bribe, and it also undermines the legal process of voting. If there are individuals who have money to throw arohhd to support a whim, the money would serve .a much better purpose if it was directed into the Canada Pension Plan, which cer- tainly has not\competed with inflation. As for the P.M.. he must have received the message, because I really do not think his skin is that thick. He reminds me of a situation where an individual who was "Why?", and he' replied "I inebriated was thrown out of hada hint to leave." ' a :dance. When questioned about it, he said he was going home. •His . partner asked Sincerely. N.J. Minaker Huron farm news Applications for the. Farmstead .
