The coaching chairman says coaches need not be parents of players, and frequently are not, and sometimes are fathers of A really busy' minor hockey season is being anticipated in Wingham- this year, and advance indications are that possibly more than 200 boys will be 'in- volved in active competition in schedules to be drawn up this week, reports President Doug Skinn of the Minor. Hockey Asso- ciation. The number of boys taking part has doubled in the past four years,, largely due to the institu- tion of the house league sygtem . Prior to that the boys cut from the intertown teams had nowhere to go, due (mainly to lack of man- power in the way of coaches and trainers willing to spend a few hours with the boys each week. In the coming season the house, league category will take . in minor tykes and a combination of novices and experienced tykes, as well as a new house league or- ganized for the peewees and ban- tams not required on the "all- star or intertown teams: A grouping meeting at the arena Thursday night was planned to sort out the schedules More support requested The Wingham Minor Hockey Auxiliary held its first meeting of the 1972-73 season at the arena last Wednesday night. With 170 boys registered for hockey, seven moms turned out for the meeting. Although lacking in quantity, there was an abun- dance of enthusiasm. Some, of 'those who could not attend the meetinecalled to offer their co- operation and this was appreci- ated. The following officers were elected for the coming season: president, Mrs. Donna Cornwall; vice-president, Mrs. Maxine Robinson; secretary, Mrs. Rose- mary Struthers; treasurer, Mrs. Betty Foxton. The main purpose of the meet- ing was a decision regarding the opportunity for the Auxiliary to take over operation of the refreshment stand. This is a tre- mendous opportunity to become involved in the community centre and use the profits from the booth for the benefit of children' and comfort of all (thinking of more heaters for cold spectators !) . This venture would require the assistance of all parents. Neighboring communities operate their refreshment booths with help of volunteers from the community. The Auxiliary refuses to believe that these areas care more for their com- munities and children than we do. The Auxiliary has accepted the challenge and is fortunate in hav- ing Mrs. Struthers agree to con- vene this project to get it off the ground. Mrs. Struthers Was in- volved in a similar project in Teeswater and the members are grateful for her help. She will be ably assisted by Mrs. Mabel - Jacklil(z who has considerable experience in the food depart- ment. Sade your pennies and sweet boys not eve!t playing hockey. Anyone interested in coaching or managing one of the teams is urged to get in touch with Mr. Passmore immediately. Sponsors Needed Another burning question is to get sponsors for the teams.

Only five hours flying time from Toronto is Barbados, which has been famous as a holiday is- land since 1887 and *nay be en- joyed by all. The chief charm of this island is its variety and the friendliness of it.` 5ple. Your ),and has too many fingers to ,.ou ,t the 180,s the sun never shines, a, t v, impossible to spend a wet without obtaining a sun tan that w k t e the envy of all your stay-at-home friends, what, ever time of the year you choose Barbados for your Holiday. Most Canadians, of course, visit Bar- bados during our harsh winter months of January, February and March, which is the time my wife and I decided to go. It is one of the greatest destina- tions I have had the pleasure of visiting. Calm and unspoiled, Barbados seems to be blessed by nature's qwn hand. Miles upon miles of white sand beaches, sur- round a land of great charm and natural beauty. There is also the delightful contrast of the calm waters of the Caribbean on the one side and the wild exciting surf of the Atlantic on the other. And because of the coral forma- tion of the land, drinking water is purified by a natural filtering process and needs no boiling be- fore drinking. I think one of the most delight- ful things of any trip is the many new places you see and the differ- ent cultures you encounter along with meeting and making new friends. Barbados was first claimed by the English and many traces of English culture and his- tory is noticed as soon as you ar- rive on "this beautiful island. Some of, the things my wife and I noticed were the many place :names, in the red brick buildings. bordering the Garrison Savan- nah, in the market town atmos- phere of Bridgetown, the capital city, with its • Trafalgar Square and Harbour police dressed in the uniform of Nelson's day. We be- gan our tour of the island at his- toricaBridgetown, but. nowhere is the mellow magic better seen and felt 'than in the Wonderful coun- tryside with rolling hills and the lush loveliness of the fields of sugar cane. .,Jhe entertainment.of Barbados was also a pleasant surprise for us. There is considerable night- time entertainment of the native dance and calypso; big Band beat and combo; 1110Qnlight nights and beach barbecues and such other things as crab racing, floor shows and do-it-yourself limbos. I tr.ed. a ,do-it-yourself, limbo, and be- lieve you me the next morning I . could baxeiy ,get out of bed. Need- less to say I spent a very quiet, relaxing time soaking up the beautiful warm Barbados sun the folioowing day. One of my favourite pastimes, and I'm afraid it shows, is eating. There's nothing I like more than to sample the cuisine of the places we visit, and if you're any- thing like me you end up saying, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"! When you're in Rome you do and eat as the Romans do, and so when you're in Barbados you eat as, the Barbadians do. The local cuisine features such delicacies as flying fish, lobsters straight from the sea, crane chub, pepper pot, suckling pig and seaeggs. sounds good doesn't it? It really tastes a whole lot better than it sounds. I think this is one of the many pleasures to be enjoyed however, when travelling, and strongly suggest to you that wherever your travels may bring you, that you sample. the local cuisines. If you're staying, in Barbados you'll have time to participate in many of your favourite hobbies and pastimes. Personally I like to golf, (my wife doesn't) and so one day we went our separate ways, I went golfing and she, naturally, went shopping. They have some lovely golf courses in Barbados, however, I won't tell you too much about my game, as it's nothing to write home about. But when it comes to shopping my wife is a real "pro"... as most women are. , -For the ..ladies, let me say that shopping in Barbados is both simple and attractive. For many years the island has come to be regarded as the Caribbean show- case for the finest consumer goods from all parts of the world, and for Canadians who will be taking their , purchases back home; shopping is all duty free. I won't go into all the many ar- ticles and goods which c'an be purchased in Barbados except to say that my wife spent most of the 401,, sin - ins i the, many BBroa r d raepartment stores and in the smaller shops where she purchased some doeskin gloves, a cashmere sweater, some hand -worked local em- broideries, some costume jewel- lery, not to mention a cholce of sophisticated French perfumes, plus a raft of smaller items as gifts for friends and relatives back home. Let me advise, you men, it's much cheaper in B&rba' dos to go golfing than to send your wife on a slopping spree. All in all we spent two of the most delightful relaxing weeks of our life on this great Caribbean island. Barbadians take special pride in looking after their visi- tors, and this was quite evident everywhere we wept. This claim is not extravagant; The Barba - does' motto is "Pride and Indus- try" and Barbadians have every reason to be proud of what they can produce and what they have to offer. If you want to get away from it all this winter, if you want two weeks of fun, sun and relaxation, I can certainly recommend Bar- bados to you as a great winter' holiday destination. In 1851, the provinces took over responsibility for postal adminis- tration from the United Kingdom.
