Amateur sp rts groups
receive community grants
Amateur sports groups across Ontario
will receive 39 grants this year to help
them increase community participation in
amateur sports, Ontario Minister of
Tourism and Recreation John Eakins
announced.
The grants total $332,033.50 and were ap-
proved under the 1987/88 Participation
Development Program of the $4.4 million
Best Ever Ontario Program.
"This funding will help community
amateur sports groups attract new par-
ticipants of all ages by adding services,
improving opportunities and providing
training in more than 20 different sports,"
Eakins said.
'A major grant of $20,000 will be provided
to the Timmins Therapeutic Riding
Association to provide participation oppor-
tunities for disabled persons in ,10 surroun-
ding communities.
The Town of Leamington will receive
$10,000 to hire an aquatic coach who will
develop swim teams,. and master level,
synchro and Special Olympics programs.
Introductory basketball clinics will be
provided to the Moira Trojan Basketball
Camp with a grant of $9,750. The funds will
support the clinics attended by boys and
girls in 10 small communities in the
Belleville area.
The Woodbridge Soccer Club will
receive $3,492 to promote girl's and

cial support include curling, tennis, scuba

said.

Monday's Mixed Two -Ball event explod-
ed with enthusiasm as 72 participants beg-

matched up to claim second honours.
Carol Babel and Ron Bushell collaborated
to take third. The next Mixed Two -Ball will

Ladies' Nite participants celebrated
afterwards back at Joan McDougall's on
Thursday evening and enjoyed a corn

ly. Thanks to each for their contribution.

Goderich was port in 1940
Obviously shipping has changed con-
siderably over the last 50 years or so.
Vessels are now bigger, faster, -safer and .
more efficient. But with their greater size,
today's commercial ships have access to
fewer ports than they did.
As a result, the ports also are different to
what they were in the 30s and 40s. A 1940
copy - of "Canadian. Ports and Shipping
Directory" contains some interesting in-
formation about facilities in Great Lakes
and maritime ports throughout Canada.
Readers with access to current data might
be able to draw comparisons between then
and now.
The directory featured only commercial
ports. Goderich, Kincardine and
Southampton were included, but not
Bayfield. As a fishing village, it probably
didn't qualify as a place where commer-
cial cargoes would be loaded or
discharged.
Goderich was considered a transfer
point for grain as well as safe winter
quarters for lake steamers. Trade was
mainly the import of grain and coal, with
exports of grain and package freight. The
town was served by post office, telephone
and telegraph and its port authority was
the federal Department of Transport,
represented locally by harbormaster Nor-
man MacKay.
Accommodation for ships was in the ar-
tificial harbor enclosed by breakwaters,
the directory explained. The harbor basin
(the inner harbor) provided berthing
space along three sides, about 6,300 feet
overall with 2,200 feet having a water
depth of 22.5 feet. .
The Goderich Elevator and Transit
Company Ltd., as it was known then, had a
capacity of 3,500,000 bushels in its grain
elevator. Western Canada Flour Mills had
650,000 bushels capacity in its elevator.
For grain handling, these facilities had
four marine legs, one marine spout and
;even car shipping spouts. The harbor also
-d freight sheds measuring 500 feet long
ar-; 40. feet wide.
THE
CHIPWATCHER EI
By Dick With
The channel into the harbor, with 22.5
foot depth at its normal- stage, had accom-
modated a ship drawing as much as 22
feet. (Even in high water, isn't that a bit
close for a skipper to cut it?) As of 1940, the
largest vessel to berth at Goderich was
CSL's Donnacona, 604 feet long by 59.2 feet
wide by 27.8 feet deep, and 8,611 tons gross.
In 1938-39 the harbor was dredged "so that
any full loader steamer can berth at
wharves."
Under normal conditions, tugs weren't
necessary for berthing, although„both tugs
and "gas boats” were available. (Was the
MacDonald fleet in service then?) Gas
boats, incidentally, charged $2 per hour for
towing:
Goderich was a port of entry in 1940,
where customs officers boarded vessels.
from foreign ports. Being wartime, there
were probably only occasional visitors
from the U.S. side.
Ships' fuel availability was limited to
fuel and diesel oil delivered in tank trucks.
No bunker coal was on hand at the port.
Although it had no drydock, Goderich was
said to have good repair shops. Chandlers
listed were C.C. Lee, Thomas Sandy and
Dominion Roads Machinery Co. G.L. Par-
sons served as a shipping agent/broker.
There was an impressive list of snipping
companies said to be serving the port.
They were: ' Canada Steamship Lines,
Paterson Steamship Co., Algoma Central,
Sarnia' Steamship Lines, Great Lakes
'Transit Co. ". ..and many others — mostly
between Goderich and Fort William -Port
Arthur."
