Jack Oakes, of Strathroy, first vice-president of the OMRA., unable to attend, scout© along congratulations to the re- ferees and the tourney officials for their work each paster. The Young Canada Week offic- ials, who expect to have as many as 74 teams in the tourney again next year, also spoke out again against the 'Canadian Amateur Hockey Association which has given their intention of again using the name Young Canada Week in connection with minor hockey pro- motion across the country. The Goderich officials feel that they have a prior use of the name and that the CAHA should find another name for their promoticu work. The Goderich Lions Club plan to approach the CAHA on the matter. In the past, the CAHA has ignored pleas of the Goderich tournament for a change in name. -o If you have plans for tomorrow be careful today.—DRIVE SAFELY GODERICH Community Concert 4.

Parents Urged To Teach Children Safety Habits -Playing it Safe" .vas the theme of Provincial Constable Al Handy's address to the Home and 'School Association held on Tuesday even- ing in the Public School Auditor- ium. Constable Hardy gave statistics of traffic fatalities, and pointed put that two-thirds of these fatalities are pedestrians. Safety habits should begin at home, and parents should teach their children at an early age, safe habits in play and in crossing the street, etc. 'The policeman should be re- garded as a friend and not one to' fear. Constable Hardy impressed upon the meeting that "A lifetime can be spent in crossing the street." An interesting colored film was shown entitled "Play it Safe," dealing with bicycle safety rules. - Another highlight of the pro- gram was the singing of two vocal solos by Mrs. Betty Chisholm. The new teachers were intro- duced by Principal Shackleton and after the 'conclusion of the pro- gram refreshments were served by members of the executive. Fire Chief Explains Mutual Aid. System The proposal to set up a mutual aid system for the Are departments of Huron County was explained to Town Council Fridayby J. J. Hoggarth, local fire cief. He advised that if Goderich wishes to participate in the pro- ject, it will be neeessary for Ceun- cll to pass a special by-law. The matter was referred to Council's fire committee for further study. Chief oggarth reported on a special meethag held recently in Seaforth for 'the purpose of dis- cussing formation of the system. Thirteen Huron County municipal- ities were represented et the meet- ing, he said. Recommending that the town par- ticipate, he started that it would mean "practically the whole county would be behind you :u case of a fine." Under the mutual aid plan, if Goderich needed help to fight a major blaze, local officials would contact Fire Chief John F. Scott, of Seaforth, who is co-ordinator for the program. He would send up the Clinton brigade, while Sea - forth would cover Clinton with one of Seaforth's two trucks. If both Clintcu fire trucks were called to attend a blaze in Sea - forth, Goderich might have to send one of its trucks to Clinton to stand by until the Clinton fire- fighters returned, Chief Hoggarth said. Provincial authorities have urged that the scheme be adopted. There are only two counties in Ontario which haven't been organized in this manner, he told Council. Other Fire Matters Before he left, Chief Hoggarth was asked if he could shed any light on the reason for increasing the bill for looking after the local fire trucks. , Apparently, Council has been paying 50 cents a day to have the Legion A, Tigers, Toppers, Stiffs Tops In Respective Bowling Leagues The Men's Industrial fowling League was first to begin "spilling the maples" as the bowling season got, under way.

Z6th, 1.957 machines checked daily by a mech- anic. On the latest bill, the town is charged at the rate of one dollar per day. The chief said he was unaware that this bill had been presented. He and another man have been making the daily checks on the equipment. He stated that he him- self checks the machines twice daily and sometimes more often. Councillor Joseph Allaire said that it would be a good idea if the men who check the trucks would record the time on the wall when- ever they visit the fire hall.
