Hollingsworth told the committee
the Jl ad been fared with the prob-
lem of having to try to organize a
pee wee team to play in the tourna-
menit. He said he had been sick
with pneumonia, and then had to
go to Kingston. When he return-
ed, he said, he, found he 'had no
team to play.
"I was getting desperate so I
went to Aurora, and found three
players who agreed to play," he
said. "I did not feel guilty at the
time becatitse the boys were over
age,' but after I won the game I
did feel badly about it." .
He added, "What I did regarding
the birth certificates was absalute-
ly wrong, and I fully realize that."

The Young Canada Week rhub- r start lining up hockey players. At
least one new player may see ae-
tion • here with the Goderich squad
next winter. He's Gordon Far -
low', who has been . hired to teach
at Goderic'lr Public School and halve'
has played defence for Goderith's
rivals, Forest Lakesides, the past
few seasons. We understand that
Goderich Booster C1uh, which, by
the way, did a wonderful job in
promoting hockey here during the
past season, wants the local Recre-
ation and Arena Committee to op-
erate the intermediates again next
season. The committee has refer-
eed the suggestion to Town Coun-
cil and it's possible that it may be
the subject of some debate among
the town fathers.
arb is over,,, and we hope such an
incident never occurs again. The
Ontario Minor Hockey Association,
has dealt with the situation as it
'haw' fit --by suspending Newmark-
et's pee wee hockey team coach,
Frank Hollingsworth, 'for five years
and by suspending four Newmark-
et
ewmarket players and three! Aurora play-
ers indefinitely. It was un.forbun-
ate that such a thing had to hap-•
pen. Not only did Newmarket get
some bad publicity, but t ie'Young
Canada.,.Week tournament and the
Town of Goderich have had some
unwatrbn'ted reflections cast upon
them. It will take people a long
time to forget the unsportsmanlike
activities that occurred this year.
No doubt some fans attending fu-
ture, tournaments • will have sus -
pi -cions about the eligibility of
players. We hope, however, that
the tournament has seen the end
of the use of over age players and
that, no coaches of teams at any
future Young Canada Week will
find it necessary to stoop so low
in an attempt to win a trophy.
Goderich officials have had their
fill of such nonsense. They were
let down terrifically by the actions
of Hollingsworth. But they de-
serve a pat on, the back for seeing
the incident through -to the bitter
end. The officials spend a full
year preparing for the tourney, in-
-hiding sessions alrmost every night
for the last couple of weeks be-
fore the tournament starts. For
Waren weather has brought out
iihe softball enthusiasts. Ted Wil-
liams had quite a crowd of pee
wee players getting in trim the
other evening at the Public School
playgrounds.

Mexico Termed Ideal For Vacation
By Kintail Couple After Winter Trip
While Canada .suffered under
winter's 4last- blasts, ' Williarh Mc-
Donald of Kintail, enjoyed a thrill-
ing vacation witn his wife in sunny
Mexico. - compliments. of General
Steel 'Wares Lttmlted.
Mr. McDonald earned his 1.0 -day
Mexico trip in last fall's .contest
for McClary appliance dealers
across 'the country.
As Mrs. McDonald said in a
letter to G.S.W.--d'Mr.'"McDonald's
luck didn't end with *inning the
t:oplprize . while boating out of
Acapulco on the Pacific, he caught
a 12 -foot sailfish."
Mr McDonald has, for many
years, handled the firm's house-
wares and appliances in his store
in Kintail, where he also .serves as
postmaster. While holidaying in
the sunny south, he made a side
trip to California, to visit a. sister
whom he hadn't'seen in over 20
years.
In the following article, written
expressly for The Signal -Star, Mrs.
McDonald tells of some of her
impressions during their tour of.
Mexico. a

an ideal vacation, presenting a
picture so vastly different and fas-
cinating.
It is a blend of the old and new,
from ancient Indian pyramids and
old parish churches to the most
modern in hotels and tourist ac-
commodation. The extremes in
the living conditions of the people
is ane of the most impressing feat-
ures -,primitive existence in parts
of the country, grandeur, in other
places.
Driving at great heights, through
mountain roads that are a con-'
tinuation of hair -pin turns, there
is always diversion in the pictur-
esque scene in the valley 'below.
The villages, and. little communi-
ties, comprising of a collection of
huts built around a . church, look
undisturbed and serene.
The Mexicans' pride in their
country and the history of their
people was stirring. - Their out-
standing artistic talent seems to
hold prominence over things of a
more material nature. It is dis-
played in the magnificent architec-
ture at every turn and on their
monuments to their fellow men.
Carved in vivid color, on the
exterior of the University build-
ings, are syrnbols in art represent
ing the evolution of the Meeican
race from earliest days up to the
present time. In wealthy sedtions,
many homes are built on elevated
rock sites that have been excavat-
ed, making a background of natur-
al beauty to enhance colorful archi-
tecture.
The variety of vegetation eulti-
vated under obsolete methods is
amazing, as are the tropical plants
and flowering trees.

larly in my memory. It is built
on'. a hill. The extreriely steep
approach toethe town necessitates
driving at high speed over cobble-
stone roads. There are no side-
walks. Buildings extend out to
both'sides of a narrow road, leav-
ing what appears to be a space of
inches for safe passing.
As well as motor vehicles, traffic
includes burros, goats, other farm
animals and pedestrians who move
along, indifferent to danger, wait-
ing their turn, revealing Mexican
characteristics in their leisurely
attitude.
One cannot travel far without
seeing mountains. Ancient names
and. Indian legends still follow
them, adding to their interest?
No tourist should leave Mexico
without seeing a bull fight. It is
a great spectacle to see an audience
of 50,000 people seated in the Plaza
Mexico and to note the united re-
sponse of silence and applause as
the performance demands. The
fight we leave to the 'imagination.
Mexico is a land where colorful
variety applies to the people,
sights, customs, and country in
general.
It is understandable that the
tourist business, is their best indus-
try and a fast-growing one.
TBUR DAY, :MAY,, 5r 1955
FARMING IS DIFFEREN11
Farming has been, since the
beginning of history, something
different, something set apart, says
the April monthly letter of the
Royal Bank of Canada, There is
a flavor in- farm life with a funda-
mental appeal to human nature,
'as. witness .,theonuxober of people
who express the hope that some
day they will achieve their life-••
long ambition: to live on their
own. farm.
One of the bases of our western
way of life is typified by the fam-
ily farm in"Canada.• lit has values
that are not to be found in any
scheme of collective farming. It
not only provides satisfactions for
the individuals engaged in it, but
it is efficient in meeting the food
needs of the country. Failure o
collectivized agriculture in Russia
was one reason given for the
political upheaval in the USSR
early this year.
Those who see deeper thhn
others appreciate the character
and dignity of rural life and work.
The farm provides independence,
the satisfaction of close, communion
with nature, and health -giving
qualities. These are esPiential
ideals of humanity, and must not
be deprecated, but there is the
other -and an important -side to
farming. It is a business, and a
business must yield an income.
There must be enough financial
return to nuke possible the
achievement of the dividends of
life that advanced farmers desire.
The Young Man
The young man thinking of tak-
ing up farming on his own should
know that agriculture is a com-
posite of many economic activites,
of mode's of living and Of social
functions, but it is still a business
in which the character and energy
of .the manager count more than
any other factor.
Impatient people, people who
want quick returns on their invest-
ment of money and labor, will
find little in farming to attract
them. People who lack initiative
and . enterprise and energy will
prefer jobs where decisions are
made .for them; where they are
always • told by same authority
what to do next. People who are
timid, who recall the poet's lines:
"His life is a long -drawn question
between a crop and a crop," will
seek first of all the security of
working for someone else.

Hockey players hati been glorified and
idolized by the score. But little is ever
written in appreciation. of hockey's lonely
mend the referees.
This :is a ,grave injustice. Somebody
should write 'a piece about the trials and
tribulations of the men . who dodge from
point to point, aloof from all human contact so that no shadow
of suspicion shall be cast upon their calling. They come al-
most furtively into the cities where they ' are assigned to do
their duties, brave .the mass loathing, then Eike their ,mouse -
like exits to repeat their heroic chores elsewhere.
These thoughts occurred with the announcement that Bill
Chadwick, 'after 16' years of braving the hostility of fandom
and whimpering of players decidedo call it a career., For
16 years he has been travelling 50,000miles per, winter season.
When he giiiit, he had covered about 700,000 miles, had refereed
in every Stanley -Cup play-off since 1939, and had never missed
en assignment.
Referees today never travel with the teams, nor do they
stay at the same hotel occupied by a visiting club. They talk
to no one. They travel and live a solitary life during the
hockey season.
Referees in the big league today' Piave it sonnevtehat easier
itt one respecet than their predecessors of..an earlier era, like
Mike Hadden"-" ;'` dp°eP Smeaton, Bill Stewart, the late Lou Marsh,
and Ion. Today's referees are not generally exposed to violence.
Mike Rodden, tough and game as they come, was punched
in the,back by a spectator at Montreal's old Mount Royal Arena
one night. He wheeled, and lashed out . at the party he thought
to be guilty. Neil time Mike visited Montreal the recipient of
his light blow had Mike arrested. League heads had a busy
time getting Mike out of the hoosegow in time to referee,
Lou Marsh was almost mobbed at the same arena one "night.
The crowd rushed on the ice, ,but Marsh shrewdly tripped up
the leaders, who fell in a hem Those behind, skidding un-
certainly, fell over them, and Lou skated blithely to the dressing -
room while his assailants untangled themselves.
But even without, the threat -of physical Violence big league
refereeing is a lonely job. Referees are the unsung heroes of
hockey.
