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-

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

experience in the food depart-
ment.
Sade your pennies and sweet

Anyone interested in coaching or

urged to get in touch with Mr.

BARBADOS, THE GEM OF
THE GO BEN CARIBBEAN
Planning
ing on going on a winter
holiday but don't know just where
to go? 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.
