The Forester juggernaut continued to crush all opposition as the Goderich Industrtal League completed the first quarter of its schedule. Foresters Jameson ...Ribey, Ralph Foster, Jim Hawkins and Cam Bogie were all very sharp as they over- powered the champion office team 14-1. Forester skip Cam Bogie com- plimented opposing skip Jim Bolan after the game. "Bolan", Bogie said, "was very sharp. He cut us down in almost every end." Bolan summed up his feelings with the observation and warning that the Foresters appear to be the team to beat this year. A team that might challenge this opinion is Victoria and Grey. V & G retained a share of first place with a come from behind 6-5 victory over the Assessment Office. Excellent performances by Pete Crew and Eleanor Erskine allowed the undefeated moneymen to score four big points in the fourth and fifth ends to reverse an earlier two point deficit and claim the victory. Assessment vice - skip Jim Bell admitted he was concerned about his team's poor record this year but confided that help may be on the way in the form of a new curler. His name is Matthew Bell; he weighs 7 lbs 9 ozs; and is one week old. Congratulations Jim, but do you really think Matthew will be ready by the playoffs? The G.D.C.I. Teachers are a little worried that they may have used up all their allotted breaks for this season already. The educators posted their fourth one-sided victory in row by defeating the Victoria Teachers 14-1. Once again it was out- standing curling by the front three of Bill Wor- sell, Donna Doidge and Doug Bundy that allowed. the highschool teachers to overcome the efforts of their elementary cohosts. Marty Bond and Barb Lade saw many a fine shot disappear quickly and skip Ron Ritchie faced difficult pressure shots in almost every end. The G.D.C.I. well as students of did not fare as their teachers, however, as they fell to. the Mitchemore Family 10-4. The patriarchs of the Mitchemore clan, Don and Del were superb in their quest for their fourth triumph as they continually drew to difficult areas of the circle and forced the teenagers to make very tough shots. Viking skip Jim Crawford admitted later that his 't'eam was learning something new every week and that's why they are in the league. '"Local 1863 chalked up their fourth victory in a row also as they handed the Champion Girls an 11- 3 loss. Tom "The Booming Broom" Profit set the tone of the match Corporation of the TOWN OF GODERICH MUNICIPAL OFFICE OFFICE HOURS DURING CHRISTMAS & NEW YEARS The Municipal Office, 57 West Street, Goderich will be closed Christmas Day, Monday, December 2Sth, 1918 and Boxing Day, Tuesday, December 26., 1978 and Monday,January 1st,1979 on New Year's Day. ° Larry J. McCabe CIrrrk-Trdasurer in the early ends as he made a number of fine shots to help his team to an early lead. Local 1863 is one of the best take out teams in the league and comeback victories against them are very rare. Bev Wright and Sylvia Bolan in particular discovered this as their good shots were often topped by the efforts of the union foursome. Health Inspector John Orr cleaned up the op- position very efficently as he led the Huron County Health Unit to an im- pressive 14-5 win over the Champion Sales Office. Laurie Ginn and her famous kneepad were also a definite Sector in the victory. Pete Wanner made some fine shots but Orr and company were too much for the salesmen. ' DennisMiskietook over the reigns of power for hospitalized Ron Klages and performed ad- mirably in his new role as skip • unfortunately, his team did 'not win. An unusual Legion foursome put together a strong game to dethrone the A.M.&G. Hospital No. team 7-4. Peter Bergin, formerly of Scotland; curled expertly in his first game as a Canadian citizen but was upset that the Legion did not show his new status more respect: Bill Duncan and last minute fill-in Don Coughlan set the pace for the Legion in this im- portant win. A sensational double takeout by Elmer Taylor in the last end set the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the game of week between the Elementary Teachers and the A.M.&G .Hospital No. 2 team. Excellent curling by Mary Lou Taylor and Dianne Budnark had resulted in a three-point lead for the teachers with only one end to go. Fine shots by Jennifer Matthews and Judith Anne Murray followed by Taylor's double, however. gave the hospital unit a chance for victory. Diane Budnark, an experienced curler, executed a perfect draw .and when Taylor was unakie to.mate another �texthook shot. with his lastrock the game ended with the Elementary teachers claiming an .exciting 5-4 victory, Merchants drop two gathes BY DAVE SYKES The Goderich Mer- chants slumped slightly in the South Huron Hockey Intermediate C standing losing two of their last three league games.
