Most system. of the other courses require a full day of refereeing instruction, and applicants must preregister with their Referee in Chief (Mrs. McClure). Mrs. McClure says there are exams after each course which must be passed with a good mark, but they are not that difficult "if you are used to the game and if you read your rule book at home." In addition, each referee must take a refresher course every season to keep his qualification. A refresher is corning up tonight in Kincardine. September 19 a level one clinic will be held at Shallow Lake, and a 201 clinic will be held on September 21. In Ayton there will be a level one clinic on September 21 and a 201 September 28. In Kincardine a Level 1 clinic will be held November 1 and a 201 on November 4. "A referee is a very lonely life. The on- ly friend you have in the arena is the other guy in stripes on the ice," says Mrs. McClure, "and when kids get about age 16 or 17 they decide they don't need it." Mrs. McClure says she has been draw- ing from other towns like Goderich to supply referees to cover demand in Seaforth, and says she would like to see more local people involved. Kids can start at the age of 13 refereeing house league, and more ex -junior players and men are needed to build a stronger local system.
