Miles For Millions
Goderich, is one of many communities
across Canada which is planning a Miles
For Million walk, May 3, in an attempt to
aid thosands of needy persons.
This is the year of the walk. In 60
communities from St. John's to Victoria,
citizens, old and young, are stepping
forward to declare themselVes involved in
a world suffering greatly from illiteracy,
'disease and hunger. The National "MILES
FOR PN}LL|ONS" Committee expects'
that more than 2 million -Canadians will
participate as walkers, 'sponsors or
volunteer organizers in the 1'980 walks
program. •
In
~Centanma| year, when
n thm walks
began, $11/4 'miUion was raised by
communities -in which 100'000 walker�
trudged over two million miles. Last year,
almost $3 million ' was raised. by 53
communities and over 200'000 walkers.
The money they earned is already atwork
in Pakistan, India, South Amarica,Africa,
the Caribbean and SoUthaAs� Asia, with
programs unde' '
irrigation
wells driUed, ychdos built, hospitals
supplied and children "adopted."
The money from this year's walks will
help with similar world-wide projects,
including assistance to war refugees,
programs off��|ne 'relief and nsrny
planning as well as education and
communications develophient schemes.
In a score of Canadian communities,
oitizonS" have formed permanent
committees to carry on the work first
3timulated in 1987 by the Centennial,
International Development ProQrarn.' At
the national ^|exe|, thirteen of the
voluntary agencies involved Qin overseas
relief and development programs have
joined. together to provide information
and`co'ordination to, communities
through a National "MILES FOR
&4|LL|ONS''Connrnittea.

• GODERICH'S FIRST, TEAM T 1895
USED SPRING SKATES
By A. Mclvor, Winnipeg
I am happy to accept the.imvNet mn to contribute my
recollections ,.of the beginning of hockey in Goderich,
having been a member of the first hockey team in
Goderich, which, I'thhnk,vmt in early 1695. `
With the opening ofthe West Street rink, some young
fwlloWsand The, who had played considerable shinny on
the harbor ice or oUt on the lake, decided we would step
and try the real thinQ. I think the first organizing was
done mostly by, Billy (Bucko) Babb and associates around
the Ocean House. Up to this tine.vm had never seen a real
hockey stick or
puck. •• _ - _
Wel
k.Well, a club was formed, with my brothmr D. Mclvor
as secretary, sticks and pucks were Obtained, and after a
few practices a game was arranged with the Seaforth team,
Who, had a rink and had been playing some years. We had
no uniforms and not even hockey skates. Most of us t
playing our .first few Ames on spring skates, wearing a
sweater and some kind of short pants of any colour, but
no pads, were we ever a weird_looking outfit! However
quite a few 'curious people turned out to that first game.
Few of us knew anything about offside rules or any. rules
other than for shinny. ,The spectators knew less, and when
the whistle blew for a'Goderich.offsidethefans were up in
farms. Naturally we got quite atrinning, but we learned

MEMORABLE AD's -~
When the London Sunday Times asked its readers to report
their favourite ad in 1968 th.e majority chose the picture of a white
horse riding on the deck of a boat containing two fishermen. The
caption:, "YOu can take a White Horse anywhere." Some other
efforts of the adLmen deserve mention:
