Don Hoist Real Estate are in for the T.inns'team Final score' ,first place as of Monday night's game, December 9th as they held ori to defeat Mc See G.M. Parts 5-3. Both teams missed scoring opportunities in . the first period, because of ex- cellent goaltending. Dave Smith, a newcomer' to the league, was in the nets for G.M. Parts, and he has the potential of becoming one of the better goalies in this division. Don Holst opened the scoring with three unanswered goals in the second. Gerry Wunnick, Larry McGee and Steve Doney were the marksmen. Picking up assists were Tom -Doherty and Jacques Richard. At ' the thirty-five second mark of the third -period, Gerry Gwyn made it four nothing for Don Holst Real Estate, picking up Steve Doney's- pass and blasting -one in the nets. Larry McGee picked up his second goal of the game tipping in Randy Stoddart's slap shot. With only three minutes remaining in the game, MeGee G.M. Parts got on .the score sheet with three quick goals by Tom Fincher, Tim Atfield, and Rick Leddy. Tim Atfield star- ted the play on Fincher's goal and Geoff King assisted Rick's goal. No game report for December 11 game played between McGee G.M. Parts and Goderich' Elevator. In Thursday's game, the two top teams, Goderich Elevator and Don Holst Real Estate bat- tled to a three-aill tie. Goderich Zlevators -defenceman, Terry Schoemaker beat Randy Robin- son to open the scoring the first period from ten feet out. Before the period ended, Don Coughlan made it 2-0 for Goderich Elevator, Eric Skir- ten started the play from his own blue line. Dori_„43jiist Real Estate played an aggressive second period and it paid off as they got two goals past Pat Murphy to tie the game. John Robert- son and Larry McGee were the marksmen. Playing a strong game for Don Holst was Wayne Jackson; David Ruosemalen and lab Chisholm who also picked up assists in the second period goals. Don Holst went aheat 3-2 on a goal by Ian Chisholm, defen- ceman Gerry Wunnink started the play. Terry Schoemaker `picked up his second goal of the game to give Goderich Elevators a tie, ,his goal coming at the 12:34 mark." " Both goalies came up with some exceptional saves to hold the score down. and Goderich Restaurant and Denomme Flowers each have seven points, GODERICH POLICE FALCONS BANTAM - STARS On Thursday, December 12, the Falcons travelled to Port Elgin only to be outskated, out- played and oaten 8-1. This was the first time the Falcons have lost to Port Elgin so let's hope it's the last. The Port Elgin team were winning 4-0 when Goderich's Roger Lewis received- a.. pass from Steve Arbour and' scored the only Falcon goal of the game. Their next game is on Satur- day night when they play host to Kincareine, who by the way are in first place. It is felt that if the Falcons would only play as a team, and not 'as in- dividuals, they could move 'from last place to at least third. 5-1. So far in this season's schedule the Goderich Lions have won 10, tied 2 and lost 1. The Lions aro looking -10r - ward to a -challenging game on Saturday, December 21 when they encounter Walkerton in Goderich at 7:15. Chester, . the Lions new mascot will make his first appearance and the draw for the reclining chairs will be made on that night as well. PEE' WEE HOUSE LEAGUE In Monday's double header, Denomme Flowers edged Goderich Restaurant' 2-1 in the first garne and the two top teams, Goderich O.P.P. and Sifto. Salt played to a four, all tie, in the second game. First game, there was no scoring in the first period, as both goaltenders Marty Middel for Goderich Restaurant' and Robert Cummings of Denomme Flowers both came u•q. with some exceptional saves and > tops on breakaways. Steve • Sager opened ' the scoring late 'in the second on a pass from Kirk Goddard to give Denomme Flowers a gne nothing lead. Steve Walters was rewarded for his efforts as he made it '2-0 In the third period, Wes McLean assisting. John Ross did a lot of checking behind the Denomme Flowers goal, coming up with the puck and scoring the one Goderich Rest. goal, assisted 'by .defen- ceman Gary ' Williams, who, played a „strong defensive game ,for the losers. In the second game, Sifto Salt spotted Goderich O.P.P. three goals in the second period and then scored •four goals to take a 4-3 lead, but only to have Robert Jeffrey tie the game with less• than a minute remaining. °. Scoreless first period as both goaltenders, Brad Shortreed and Paul Bellinger were very strong in the nets and stopping several breakaways Goderich O.P.P. opened the scoring with a man advantage as Jeff Leitch beat Brad Shortreed from close in, Steve Dobie made it 2-0 w*.n the Sifto Salt team had double penalties. The third O.P.P. goal by Robert Jeffrey was also scored on a power play. Defenceman Jim' Fritzley put the Siftos on the score sheet as he let one go from 15 feet out to beat Brad Shortreed and before the second period ended, Mike Bisset tipped in a loose puck to make it 3-2. The highlights of the game was when the Sifto Salt team had a penalty given to them as one of the Goderich players held on to the puck in- side the crease. Jim Fritzley had the opportunity to take the penalty shot and he made no mistake, skating in and letting a wrist shot go to beat Brad Shortreed and tie the game. Starting the third period Sifto Salt got the go•abead goal on a three way passing play, David Moore and Mark Car- man set Robert Willus up to give them a 4-3 lead. Robert Jeffrey who was outstanding for the O.P.P. team connected for his second goal of the game to tie the score four all.' with only 30 seconds remaining. Both these teams are well coached 'and play good positional hockey. Playing a strong offensive game on defence were Don Kloss for Sifto Salt and Mike Paquette for Goderich O.P.P.'s both these players handed out some solid body checks. The standings as of Decem- ber 9 are as follows: Goderich O.P.P. and Sifto Salt are fied for first place with, 11 points, goal by hill Walters and it looked like they were back in the game, but they just couldn't beat Port Elgin's goalie who came u4 with some exceptional saves in the final period. Pete Crew and Shawn Dalton put in a strong performance for the Twins, and Mike Andrews and Ed Courtney played a good defensive game, also for the Twins. Port Elgin collected two more goals before the game en- ded. Jerry Van Hailemusch got his second goal of the game and Roy Rodgers his third for the hat trick.

And you' feed her assorted delicious flavors of Nine Lives cat chow daily to enforce the fact. Well, she inay live through it, but the ordeal will likely be worse than death itself. Kitty will sit quietly in a cor- ner, give herself a bath, or even snooze indifferently as you and the kids excitedly erect the Christmas tree: Colorful -balls, paper chains, flashing lights — she's seen it all before. Only after the kids have been shuffled off to bed and Santa's. come and. gone, does Kitty go exploring. The fresh evergreen scent draws her nearer.

Not exactly a Hartz Mountain Cat Yummie, as she'll soon. find out. You may be surprised to be awakened early Christmas morning, not by the children, but by strange moaning sounds. ever-present companion, Black Peter. The children started waving frantically. Finally St: Nicholas 'and Black Peter strutted on to dry land; amidst 5,000 screaming children. St. Nicholas was riding his - beautiful white horse. He was .dressed in his long scarlet robe. Td cover his long white hair, he - wore a bishop's hat with a gold insignia of .the cross. In his right hand he carried his long .shepherd's staff. His face was covered with a warm smile on - der his long white beard. Black Peter wore a pair of green velvet knickers over his white stockings. He had on a white shirt which looked like something a gypsy might wear. On his head, he wore a green velvet beret With "a—long ,red feather protruding from it. In his right hand he carried a bunch of sticks tied together, which seethed 'to peer menacingly at each child who might consider himself bad. He. dragged a large white bag over his shoulder. The bag was what the children were interested in. Suddenly Black Peter dipped into the bag and ,whipped hun- dreds of srnall cookies among the crowd. Children swarmed after the treats. Tradition states that during THE TWINS MIDGET ALL-STARS In a rough penalty filled game, up in Port Elgin, last Wednesday, the Port Elgin Midget All -Stars Opset the Twins 7-3. Port Elgin opened the scoring with four quick goals in less tha'nfive minutes, early in the first period. Tim Kennedy caught the defence sleeping on ',the first goal, Roy Rodger went around the defence to beat Pete Kelly on a low drive and then on a power play, connected for his second goal of the period. The fourth goal . was also scored with the Twins short- handed: Goderich, then decided to playhockey as Phil Arthur combined with Tim McLean and Bill Walters, to spoil Dave Rosner's shut out. Phil i thur picked up his second goal "to start the middle period but Port Elgin got this one back - again on a power play. The Twins made it 5-3 on a 4 The children rushed home to prepare their -stockings and fill their wooden shoe with hay for St. Nicholas' horse.

They were made to search for their gifts and by the time they found them they would, have tel get ready for school. They didn't 'mind school .on this • day because St. Ni-eholas would come to visit them. St. Nicholas would also visit all the hospitals and bring gifts for' all the sick children, At the end of 'the day, St., Nicholas hoarded his boat again, destined for Spain.
