IS SHE DREAMING OF
A WHITE CHR1STMAS?
The girls of Goderich have banded together to form a ladies
hockey club to be known as the Goderich Ladies Hockey League.
The league was formed by Jane Melitizer and Mary Kolkman and
so far 80 girls have stated they are willing to play. Of this
number, 20 have registered to date and league officials feel others
may be held back by parents who feel the league would be too
rough for their daughters. Miss Melitzer said last week there will
be no body contact in the games and no more danger of injury
than when taking part in public skating. First game of the league
was held on Friday,' November 21 with a second evening of fun
last Friday. Games arse held each Friday evening from 5 p.m. until
7 p.m. and further registration will be taken this week. Only
equipment required to date is skates and sticks with helmets
suggested as an optional. The league gives local girls something to
do with their spare time and they have a great deal of fun during
the games. - staff photo.

Former colleagues remember
late Justice Ferguson
BY W. E. ELLIOTT Ferguson practised with the bate
Mr. Justice Robert ' Irvine
Ferguson of the Supreme Court
of Ontario died Friday,
November 28 in Toronto as
result of a heart attack. Born in
Morris township 73 years ago,_he
was appointed to . the trial
division in January, 1950, but
presided for a first time at a
Huron assize in 1959, when
Stephen Truscott was convicted
of the murder of Lynne Harper.
At that time, his lordship
mentioned in addressing the
grand jury that his boyhood
home was in the fifth concession
of Morris. He never lost interest
in the Belgrave area, and was in
the county a few years ago on
vacation as well as on other
occasions. He was known around
the old home as Irvine Ferguson,
rather than Robert, it is recalled
by T. E. Irwin, of Pictori street,
a onetime neighbor on the
Wawanosh side: Mr. Irwin
renewed his acquaintance when
acting�_as deputy sheriff at the
Truscott trial and attending the
judge in and out of court.
"I used to have a lot of fun
with him," Mr. Irwin said. "He
would get talking about the
oldtimers and forget to go into
court." -
Judge Glen Hays, though
Crown prosecutor at the
Truscott trial, had no other
contact with Mr. Justice
Ferguson, either as a lawyer or
an individual. He recalled that
before ascending the bench Mr.

Arthur G. Slaght's firm 'in
Toronto.
Mr. Justice Frank Donnelly,
who was defence counsel in the
same trial, was not in town at
the "weekend, so far as could be
learned.
Judge Ferguson's parents were
William Henry Ferguson and.
Margaret" Irvine. He is survived
by his; wife, the former Lelah
Massecar, one daughter and four
sons; also one brother, Dr. James
Gordon Ferguson, formerly
chief of the pension board at
Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto,
and one sister, Miss Elizabeth
Ferguson, RR 2, Huntsville. Miss
Ferguson two years ago had the
old. log house built by her
grandfather Irvine removed to a
site in Muskoka and there
re -erected. Out of this came
research into the remarkable
story of the three Irvine sisters,
aunts of Judge Ferguson, who
went to China as missionairies
many years ago. Judge Fergusofi
wrote it for publication in
Huron Early Houses and Their
Families, Book III: To this
history he added his own
biography and had hoped to
write a history of the fifth
concession of Morris. In the
ordinary course he would have
retired from the : Bench in
December of next year.
His autobiography included
an interesting incident of high
school days at Wingham.-Robert
Ferguson was not among those
chosen to go on at the end of
the third year, but determined

anyway. Among the optional
subjects on the literature paper
was The Awakening of China,
never directly or indirectly on
the curriculum but .about
which young Ferguson happened
to know a great deal, through
letters from the aunts in China.
"I did pass," Judge Ferguson
recalled, "so presumably I did
spell sufficiently well to meet
with _the approval or perhaps the
sympathy of the examiner. At
any rate, I have been satisfied
that the Chinese Revolution of
1911 not only got the Manchus
out of the Imperial Palace in
Pekin but also got me out, of •
Wingham High School. In the.
Spring of 1913 I- decided to go
to Normal School in Stratford.
"If the Revolution' had Olsen
place in some other year, I
probably would never have got
out of third form and so would
never have become a school
teacher, a graduate of the
University of Toronto, and
Osgoode, and 'I would never have
become a judge."
In 1914, Robert Feguson
taught at Union school section
3, north of Blyth. When war
broke out he was commissioned
in the 161st Huron Battalion,"
took several courses and
volunteered for an early draft
overseas, but was turned down
on medical examination.
The funeral service was held;
in Bloor St. United Church,
Toronto, on Monday and -
interment was to be at Wingham.
