'SPORTS BY AL
Trying to avoid any undue
controversy, I must say that
either. the majority of the adult
population inM„Qoderch,are tied
up day and night with other
committments or they are just
plain. lazy. It has been a week
and a half now since the Sports
Department at the Judith
Gooderham Pool has offered, for
the second time, to organize ah
Adult Tennis Club. The main
idea behind the club was to
create a situation in which those
interested adults could enjoy a
bit of healthy, recreational
.activity. However, it seems that
_the vast majority , of adults in
this town consider sitting on
their fannys exercise enough. Oh
well, it's your own.life.. But next
time 'some of` you adults .decideA•
to organize a sports activity, try
to participate so it does work
out.
For the kids - Monday • of
next week will see the beginning
of the basketball phase of the
program. 'For those interested
playing on' a basketball teary'; a
list will. be made available, at the
pool. , Basketball .Week will
include Instruct on .regarding the' ,
basics of the game, as well as
drills, and games. „It is hoped that
a good number of kids will get
involved. d
Wednesday is the Hike and
Cook Out. The children will be
'king to a secret destiny, then
cook their own meal.
F her information will be
given out, with permission sheets
for those who wish to go.
Penny Carnival is on Friday,
August 20: Several different
booths and special events will
take place 'On Friday. Pony .rides
and boat rides are just a few of
the ,,activities. At night' the

Dave Wilson has been
drawing since a boy
Sign Painting, everyone
'would agree, is an art and to do
it well° it takes nothing less than
the abilities, of an artist. Such, is
the ability of-, Goderich's long
time sign painter, now `retired,
Dave Wilson of 171 Newgate
Street. '
Although he officially retired
some time ago Mr. Wilson came
out of thatretirement last week
to do onp last job. A veteran, o
30 years painting Public Utilities
Commission signs he allowed
himself to be talkedinto one. last
job when the Commission
recently purchased a new truck.
•"This is positively the last job
though," he stressed. •
At the end of the first world
war,, in which he -served; if
veteran were disabled or if they
were minors the government
offered a program of., education.
Taking the opportunity, Dave
Wilson enrolled in Art College at
Toronto were he studied under
distinguished artists including
men who were to becgme; know
as members a' the Group or
Seven.
An interest in art 'had begun
long before the war, however.
"When •I was small, Mr.
Wilson remembers, "my mother
used to give.' me a pencil or.,pJj c _
of chalk and any piece of paper,
usually the back of a paper sugar
'bag, and that -would keep me
quiet for hours.','
"It's been said, " he notes,
"that when I was too young to
talk I made signs. I've been
making them off and,, on ever
since. •
After attending art school
during "1919 .• and 1920 he
returned to him home' in Guelph
but moved to Goderich in 1922
and has made this community
his hoine'ever since.
Sign painting was a part time
occupation from then through
the .1930's when he worked at
Sifto Salt as a stationary
engineer. By 1945 however sign
painting proved to be a
prosperous business and 4* he
switched full time tb that
-occupation.
Locally he was known as one
of the best sign (paintersogoing
and -operated a successful
ventufe in Goderich and' the
surrounding area..
His talents however were not
confined to signs, nor did they
go unrecognized. In the early
1920's a satirical • cartoon
involving the Toronto Transit
System, which he had mailed to
the Star Weekly'in the city, was
publishedand he was forwarded
a cheque for the handsome sum
of $5.00.
His association did not end
here with the Toronto
newspaper, although he never
attempted mor' editorial
cartoons. It came to the papers
attention in the late 1950's that
" Mr. Wilson was not only an
excellent ,, cartoonist but also
very., handy with a knife and a
. pine block. The result was three -
expense paid trips to the
Toronto Sportsman Show in
1959-60 and 61- where he,
exhibited his carvings of
Canadian Wildlife. ' w

Wilson's` retirement recently. A
