The proposal will. be unveiled
for the shareholders at the
,annual meeting next Wed-
neSday night:
Tom. Jasper, chairman of
the nine organizers,.:said
', Monday . night at a Club
Meeting thathe expects costs
of the •court construction,
lighting . and • fencing to be
about $25,000 but hasplanned
With the directors. to spend
about $30,000. ` He - said if
everything w,ent as planned
;the club could begin play on
their new facilities as early as
June.
The club •organizers : are
°'embarking on a selling
campaign: this week to at-
tempt to find out how many
people in the,
Goderich area
want to, play tennis • at 'an'
organized club. They feel"if
they can get at least 45 people
to pledge an intention to pay
the membership fees they
will be able to make the club
viable once the courts are in
and the play started.
The construction costs
carry a, mortgage that. if
amortized over 10 years will
mean $5,300 to be paid -yearly
to cover principle .and in-
terest. Add to those the club's
estimated $700 per year
operating costs and theyfeel
they would need at "least
$6,,000 per year to break even:
At the present fee schedule
suggested : the club would
need at least 100• members
paying. $75 each to meet all
their expenses such ashydro,
equipment and instruction
•costs according_to-Dr .gasper.
The fees proposed are $75 for
a senior membership and $110
for a couple ' With 'junior.
.members 'paying '$25 for the
year..
The organizers' are con.-
fident they can sel1'the idea
to tennis enthusiasts here
basing that confidence on the
organization of the club' and.
the facilities offered at the
cotnitry club. • They "beef that
by enforcing court. rules
.designed to give the majority
of people equal court time,
offering tournament action to
members and allowingfull-
use-of . the saunas, . lockers,
bar and dining facilities. at the
club they will attract
members. •
' The club is not looking to,
Make a tidy profit from tennis
"but -rather to begin 'organized -
tennis on quality courts for
the gown df- Goderich: The
working. arrangement•, they
have with •the country club
Makes the, location ideal `for
both.but according .to Dr
Jasper if the shareholders
balk at the idea the club' will
look for anew location.
Asan added incentive to the
shareholders the club plans to
offer a profit sharing plan in
the event that more than the
100 needed members join.
They feel that if they give the
• country club the first $6,000,
made to cover their costs and
split .any extra' monies they
can convince -them that tennis
will be good for both par-
ties.
The club is sanctioned
under the Ontario Lawn and.
Tennis Association and . is
offering three hours a. week
instruction time and'.
regulating court time to half
an -hour maximum at one
time to ensurethat everyone
gets a chance to play. The
court's• will fea.ture a ,
plexipave composite - semi -
cushioned surface; full fen-
cing with windscreens added
and tournament lighting.

new records
• A record breaking, four -
'day heat wave combined with
-sunny dry weather, :has
brought spring into the area
•in full force, Some three
weeks earlier than last year.
,The" near -perfect weather•,
—c-ornbined' .w=it4r a late' Eager,
made this Easter one of -.the
finest • in nearly 30 ' years,
according -to some residents..
Many of •the .tulips and
spring bulbs are in full bloom
and the foliage is showing on
the trees.
Even' the: local, garden
fanatics were out in full`force
on the . weekend, and many
report' their lettuce, pea and
radish crops have already
broken through the ground.'
The unusual mid-April
heat spell • started • last
Wednesday when the tem-
perature officially reached 70,
(F). A new 'record was set
Thursday when the mercury
hit 77. :Friday's high . of. 80;
- Saturday's high of 81, ' and
Sunday's high of S2 also set
new records for those. dates.
Monday's high of 72 was. not a
record.
Mike : Miller, associate ag.
rep; said' that °considerable.
seeding of spring grainhas
already been ` carrre'd out,
compared to last year when
farmers never got on the land
until the first of•Mar.- -•
Mr.. Miller said that a lot of
preparation has been done too
on thecorn ground, and it -will
be ready for sowing, likely
starting next week.
Some of the springgrains
are already -up, in fact, and
Mr. Miller said that . the
recently seeded fields could
usea light rain.
The winter wheat also looks
much better in the area; "but
it needed• a rain a couple of
we'ks ago," Mr. Miller said.

LOOK AT THE LABEL
FOR -ONTARIO CARROTS
A look at the label on a bag''
of carrots is all it takes to find
out a ,little about. the
Vegetable you are buying.
The package lists. the grade,
as well as the size of carrots
in thebag and the name of the
packer": Canada No. 1 grade is
most commonly soldby
retailers, say food specialists '
at the Ontario :'Food Council,
Ministry of . Agriculture and:
Food, but -these carrots can
be any size. -
There is usually less waste
in large carrots since less
car -rot is discarded in peeling
than with small carrots. If'.`
carrots are to he usedfor
grating, shredding or' carrot
sticks, the large, ones are
more cdnvenient for - han-
dling. .
The poly see-through bags.
help to protect -the carrots
from bruising as well as
extend the shelf life, yet at the
same time they enable you to
check the quality and size of
the contents.
Ontario carrots, packaged
in these holy .•seeathrough
hags are especially plentiful
at this time of year and .are
favorably priced.
