Player r�rc i•n Cfr.fe� 'A former §eafgrth hoelrey player was Honored .one Satur- day night In .DeceMb r. with. a Ron Muir. night at the Greens- boro (North Carolina) Coliseum. Each player has a special night, and the • Iron Mair night includ- ed a picture. of the hockey en- thusiast on the front coyer of the program for the. Greensboro • Generals. Ron Muir is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Muir, of Seaforth.. Writing about the popular Greensboro 'star in the booklet, Moses . Crutchfield, Daily News Associate sports editor says: "Paraphrasing a familiar say- ing, Ron Muir is a hockey play- er's hockey player. "He isn't flashy or spectacu- lar or particularly fast. But he is steady, a good scoter, a hard worker, and an excellent check- er, "Add all that together, and he makesa hockey coach's dream. "Which is exactly the way • Eastern League coaches saw it last year in selecting Muir on the -league's---first-all-star. team in his first season in the league. And which is why other -clubs, have indicated considerable in- terest in a trade at times . . a trade which the Generals. • want no part of. "Muir's presence in a Greens- boro uniform is something of a coincidence ... a happy coinci- dence for him, as he very free- ly admits, and a good one for the Generals. - "The story is worth retelling here in. Ron's own words.' • "It -was a -year ago and Ron had just completed a season of summer baseball in St. Thomas, the training headquarters of the Generals. "'I was interested in' coming to the States to play hockey,' Ron said, 'I had been contacted by Johnstown's Johnny Mitchell before when -1 was playing sen- ior hockey, and he had contact- ed me again that year. I was getting ready -to report to the Johnstown camp, and had gone out to the St. Thomas arena to get in a little early work. • "'It was a day or so before Greensboro was scheduled to open its camp but Don Carter and Ron Spong had come • in early to get things ready, and I ran into them at the arena. "'I knew •Don from junior hockey days, and he and Spong • • told nie a lot' about Greensboro. It sounded good to me, so I de- cided to come along.' "Any regrets? "Not a one,' laughed Muir, 'I like it here very much and so does my family.' "It has been mentioned from • time to time that Muir is - a baseball player, an outfielder by ..trade. "Was there ever any change that he might have foregone hockey for baseball? "'No,' was Muir's reply, 'hoc- key is my game.' • • "Last summer, Muir spent the summer in Greensboro and was a pretty regular attender at the Greensboro Yankee games. "How does he compare what he saw here to the game he played in Canada? Well- first of all,' he said, • 'the players you see here are young farmhands who are be- ing groomed for higher class ball. They lack experience. "'The league I played in, in contrast, was made up mostly of veterans who had been in higher elasn baseball and who had settled down to a steady job with baseball as a sideline. Then, each team usually brought in a few rookies from the colleges in the States. It was a- fast league, probably com- parable to a Class A league.' "The one handicap Muir sees • in "that type ball in Canada is the short season. Teams play three. or four. times a week in a 50 -game schedule which op- ens itt April and closes in Aug- ust. The weather is a big prob- lem. • . "Muir, like the' rest . of the Getter* began his, career in hockey way down the line in bantam leagues, worming_ his way up through junior hockey into ' senior hockey. He had three -years -of se-niot with Corn- wall and then a year split be- tween Kitchener and Belleville. He was drafted by the Kitchen- er team that year for the Olympics. "As a member of the Gen- erals, Muir has blossomed into a high -scoring star, although he says he always has gotten his share of the points. "What does he forsee for himself in the game? • "'Like everybody, I'd like to do better,' he said. 'I had a tryout with Cleveland this year Mid they said they'd like for me to come back next year. I'll be 26 then, and it might .be my last opportunity. If I get the chance, I might go—depending upon what my family wants, the money and so forth." Ron Muir, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Muir, Seaforth, has received lots of publicity in 'the North Carolina sports circle with a top place scoring record. To date this year the young hockey player has scor- ed 25 goals and assisted in 38, for a total of 63 points in 53 games. He is second place scorer in the league. His team, the Greensboro Generals, are on top of the Southern division of the league with 31 wins, 20 losses and 2 ties. In Seventh Place Last year Ron collected 97 points in the scoring parade, and ended the seaspn in -sixth place in the league, 19 points behind the top place scorer. In the 64 game schedule he scored 43 goals and assisted in 54: He spent a total of 32 minutes in the penalty box. Ron started the 1961-62 sea- son slowly, but soon pulled out of the slump and zoomed ahead. New Year's Eve the Generals celebrated in boisterous fash- ion hammering out an 8 to 2 triumph over Philadelphia's Ramblers. Ron Muir was one of the big guns in the attack which showed "evidence that the Gen- erals had regained its scoring touch missing in recent con- tests." "Muir contributed t*o goals for honors in that department and had two assists for four, points during the night." The next game saw Muir scor- ing the hat trick before the season's largest crowd, 5,362. Local- papers had this to say about the game which saw the Generals defeat the Charlotte Checkers 7 to 2:• "It was Ron Muir, the hard- working forward, who led the assault which sent Walmsley (coach of the Checkers) from the Coliseum upon his shield. "Muir -topped the night's scor- ing with three goals for the hat trick and spearheaded the at- tack which mounted ,its climax on a three -goal ,outburst within the span of a minute and 13 seconds. Muir had two of those goals and they came ;within 32 seconds of each other." Scoring Touch Commenting when M 'r broke his slump, Earle •Hellen; Greens- boro Record sports edit , om- mented: "One of the big questions Greensboro Gen fans were ask- ing before Christmas was lvhat had happened to Ron Muir's ,scoring touch? The popular left winger, who was named all - league last year after his initial season here, had scored only 12 goals when the Gens hit the road for two games right be- fore Christmas. "This wasn't the same Muir- who uirwho had tallied 43 goals and 97 points last year to tie for sev- enth place in the Eastern floc key League scoring. The dark- haired winger, who makes his home in Greensboro the year round, was shooting in tough luck. He was getting good shots and missing. - "Then at Knoxville two days before Christmas Muir scored two goals although the Gens were routed, 7-3, by the Knights. That seemed to set him off. "After the holiday Muir got the only Gen goal at Charlotte Dec. 26 as the locals lost, 3-1. On New Year's Eve he scored twice here against the Ramb- lers, then got another goal at Charlotte last Friday. "Saturday Muir turned loose for three goals and his first bat trick of the year against the Checkers. Sunday he got an- other goal at New "Haven. "In 'six games .his goal pro- duction had shot from 12 to 22. And four of the games were played on • the road which made it even more difficult to Score. "Muir's 1:0 goals in the six games has lifted him within two points of Gen scoring lead- er Les Lilley. The latter has 56 points, Muir has 54. The two battled neck and neck in last year's club scoring race, with Lilley emerging the win- ner." , , NORTHSIDE UNITED CHURCH Worship, 11:00 a.m.; installa- tion of Elders at this service; Junior Church School during worship; Senior School, '10:00 a.tti. --- Minister, Rev.

The dis- cussion centred on "Marketing by Teletype." Hog prices this year have been better because., of this method of selling, but it was thought this would not be a Satisfactory way of selling beef because of the many different grades. The forum felt a na- tional marketing system by tele- type would be satisfactory for hogs, but not for other com- modities. Mrs. Eric Anderson invited the forum for next week. Win- ners in euchre were: Most games, Mrs. George Hoggart; lone hands, Erie Afideiti n; consolation, Oliver Anderson. Every week more people dis- cover what mighty jobs are ac- complished by low cost Exposi- tor Want Ads. A UNITED CHURCH women's organization recently was formed ..at .St. Andrew's Church, Kippen.

Seaforth played this home game at Clinton to see if attendance could be increased. A very good number of fans were on hand for the game. Seaforth fell behind before coach Jack Webb could get the team into high gear. Bob Beut- tenmiller led• the Seaforth at- tack with 3 goals, and Bill Pin - der -,picked up two assists. Bill German played, his usual good game in the nets. Seaforth 4, Phillipsburg'5 On Monday evening Seaforth travelled to Tavistock to play against the • PhilIipsburg Club. Although Seaforth met defeat, they outplayed the homesters, especially in the first period, when the game should have been won, but some poor shoot- ing gave Seaforth only a 1 to 0 lead.

The in- augural meeting of the London Conference United Church Wo- men will be held in London on Feb. 21. Miss F. Houston gave some of the highlights of the inaugural meeting of Hur- on Presbyterial, which was held in Clinton on Jan. 24. Miss Rena McKenzie, in charge of" the study book pro- gram, had the following ladies assist in a very interesting dis- cussion: Mrs. R. McGonigle, Mrs. D. Stephenson, Mrs. A. Routledge, Mrs. H. Wilson, Mrs. J. Hay, Mrs. -K. Ritchie and Mrs. R. Boyes. "Signals For the Silcties" was used for this stu- dy. The Soaring 60's might be a suitable name for this de- cade with all the luxuries we enjoy. On the other hand, we have . poverty, alcoholism and many other evils. Years ago the Church was the centre of the community. ,Today, both suburban and older city church- es have many problems. It would seem that even in spite of an increase in church atten- dance that the church in some ways is remote from everyday life. This decade could well be named "The Soul Searching 60's." Interesting items about the work that: is being done by the United Church were told: MissioT Boats on''tile East and West Coasts of Canada; work in the hospitals in Western Canada; help given to the Ja- panese and Chinese people; the United Church Colleges where the young people.are 'trained; the workers at the ports, who welcome the newcomers to the country; -work that is being done among the French-speak- ing Protestant people; help in giving • literature to places where there is no Sunday School; small struggling church- es are helped by the richer ones. "Go, work today in my vine- yard" is . as challenging today as it ever was, and the prom- ise, "Lo, I am with you always" will not fail. The soul -winner will be 'listed in God's Who's Who for 1962. The meeting closed With' the hymn, "Come, Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love," and prayer by Mrs. Boyes. Lunch was served by Group 1, in charge of Mrs. Forbes, ond it was 3 to 3, and Phillips- burg outscored Seaforth 2 to 1 in the last frame. Seaforth goal - getters were Jim Dick, Larry Dale, Jack Crozier and Bob Beuttenmiller. This game closes out Sea- forth's schedule and they now await the rest of the league to finish. Playoffs are scheduled to start in about two weeks. At this point Seaforth is tied for first with Clinton RCAF, with 18 points apiece. Next is Cen- tralia with 16, Mitchell with 13 and Exeter with 10. Play- -off dates will . be-.aannotmeed when available. .

MAITLAND AUTHORITY CONSIDERS ADDITION OF BAYFIELD VALLEY Possibility that the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority mi ht be enlarged to include th4Bayfield Valley was seen as representatives of municipali- ties on the fringe of the present authority raised the matter at the inaugural meeting of the Authority in Wingham Thurs- day. Mayor Edmund Daly and Councillor N. C. Cardno repres- ented Seaforth, which is one of the towns ,on' the perimeter of the' new 'authority. Harold Cosens, of Wallace Township, was elected chair- man of the recently -formed Authority. Area Men Named All 29 municipalities of the authority were represented. Robert Wenger, of Wingham, was elected vice-chairman and Cy Bamford, of, Listowel, sec- retary -treasurer. • Named advisory board chair- man were: Flood control, Alvin Smith, Turnberry Township ; reforestation, Dan Beuermann, Mckillop Township; land use and farm ponds, Harry Tebbutt, Hullett Township; public rela- tions, W. -J. Kelterborn, Milver- ton; parks, recreatio id wild- life, Oscar M. Nickel, Listowel. The executive will appoint members to the advisory boards. Include Bayfield Mayor W. J. Miller, of Clin- ton, suggested at the Wingham meeting that the authority be extended to include the Bay- field River basin. He said little water from his municipality drains into the Maitland water- shed and that greater benefits could be had by including the Bayfield River area, which, he said, drains about four-fifths of land in the Clinton area. He said this would be the only way that conservation benefits could be extended ''.to the few munici- palities along the Bayfield River, as that watershed is too 'small to warrant an authority of its own. Chairman Harold Cosens re-. ferred the question to 'the pub- lic relations advisory board. He said the Maitland authority would be agreeable to an in- clusion of the Bayfield water- shed but explained that appli- cation would have to come from the municipalities.. draining in- to that basin. "We do not take the initiative in such matters. The people in those areas might misinterpret this to think we were trying to force them into something." The authority will request the minister of planning and development to make a survey of the ' watershed after which time consideration will be giv- en ' to a minimum levy for smaller contributing municipal- ities. . Chairman of the meeting *as Arthur Latornell, of the con- servation branch of the depart- ment of planning and develop- ment. Department of lands and for- ests personnel present were Larry Scales; of Stratford, zone forester; E. K. E. Dreyer, of - Hespeler, district for ster of Lake Huron Distri Peter,Ad- dison, of Maple, regional for- ester. The Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority embodies all three branches of the Maitland River in the watershed. In September, the new extension was formed at the request of the Middle Maitland Conserva- tion Authority, a body formed 10 years ago by municipalities on the middle branch. ' The new authority has a drainage area of close to 2,000 square miles. LAST CHANCE b To take advantage of our LOW ' PRICES ON SHOES - during our - CLEARANCE SALE!
