Letters to the Editor ECTIOV A T1IE HER Sports editors comments on Raider exec annoys fan To the editor of The Herald In response to the Sports column laM week I take exception to the in fere made the editor to the legitimacy of the Inter aid involvement by mem hem of the Haider executive Naturally past members were invited to the general meeting as well as persons interested In the club s future who wishes to be on hand as well as a public advertisement in the paper the v previous o announce the meeting This was lion of the public and I would say by the lack of attendance it would indicate that very few people would care to make the mammoth committment to participate in the running of such an organization Mobt were old facts who have been around the club too long You are right there Mr Fergus resident commends Georgetown Hospital care To editor of The Herald On to while visiting Georgetown the writer was seriously ill and rushed to the Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital After 14day stay 1 was allowed to return to my home In Fergus The purpose of this lejttr is to thank everyone who had anything to do with my stay and to tell the people of Georgetown their hospital doctors nurses etc are I received exceptional con and courteous care from alt concerned Should I ever be unfortunate enough to require hospital care In the future no matter where in Ontario I might be Hi suggest to the ambulance dri ver If It not loo trouble will you please make it the Georgetown Hospital Sincerely AC Lee Fergus Editor but without the old faces just who would Ice that team this coming year These are the men who have formed the backbone of this club for many keeping It cially afloat and a weekly source of high quality enter for hockey I oven in the area Does someone est you should be fired from your Job because you re an old face at the point when you have learned to do it well Jew blood is needed as I am sure any of these 14 people will tell you and I am certain that you have no facts to subs tan tlatc that it is not being sought out for 1 know the contrary to be true Twenty percent of the elected executive were first year people for Instance Now this last statement is the real culprit In this piece If big money is being taken out of this community for the sake of a few people hockey team more should be given or allowed in the way of a new and different Input You obviously have not been to a Raider game Mr Clair in the recent past Raid hockey gives much enjoy to hundreds of people on a weekly basis and upwards of a thousand at playoff lime This to me is not hockey for a few people I would hazard a guess to say that the Raider hockey club has a large a following any other in Georgetown at this It also is a user pay where It costs only those who are Interested in this hockey club whether that be through projects advertise meats or gate receipts These arc direct testimonial to the interest by our community which has supported this worthwhile organization or over years Yours in Raider hockey Gerry Kentner South Island tranq Christmas in Christchurch Around the World in Days Fourth a Herald Staff Writer I needed two rides to Zealand capital Wellington where we overnight in hostel called Beethoven House would lime stayed longer if It hem rumng but it Wellington is a most place when its raining The city iLself sits In a bowl or depression tint seems to attract clouds especially the kindwlthuet stuff in them so and bought our tickets one of the Cook Strait ferries linking the country two islands From and I decided In order to miss crush of liilili hikers com ing off the ferry wed take the train down the road a little to town of We thought were very clever until we rolled Into the little burg and v all afternoon without getting ride After spending the night In a trailer we were up bright and early the next to bit good spot on the An hour and a half later we finally got a ride all the waj into five hours the road Ml told it took us right hours to git a of Blenheim the long Ml I have ever waited for a lift In New Zealand After arriving and I decided to slay In the Cora Wilding youth hostel outside the core is one the best hostels In New Zealand and whenever I was in Christ church Ishjcd there In the centre there the one and only Cathedral Square where everyone meets from the God Squad to the Mongrel Mob boys who could be described as a bike gong without bikes The God Squact v born again Chris is who preached In the square at odd hours to anyone who would listen Occasionally they be in the square when a fellow who billed himself is the Wizard expounding the organized religion and when the two camps met the sparks would t any other time the Square was a good place to meet fellow before heading off to one of the pubs In the vicinity first run movie which I spent Christmas here with John and Dinys and other Australians and Americans I bought John a bottle or Walker Red for Christmas on Christ day I drank It with two other pleasant chaps 1 had met WANTED REWARD For Best Old Fashioned Costumes at the hostel bad about drinking scotch hut it was for a good cause consider international relations and all that Afterwards we had a tardized of cricket with Australians Cana dinns Englishmen Kiwis and God knows who else participating The game was very funny with the Yanks sliding into the wickets and trying to tag each other instead of the wicket They were also terrible at bowling the ball with a straight arm wrist is the legal procedure and insisted on getting their base when they got hit with the ball Mind you and I t much better especially after the scotch but the game was all In fun IE FARM Before Christmas I to find gainful employment with a group colled Relief Farm Mnnagcment This firm employs young British lads for periods of six or so months or did until New Zealand started cutting down on the number of work permits It handed out The fellow who ran the opera didn t really core too much if John and I had work permits or not and I certain none of the farmers I worked for did The firm was great for young men who could drive farm machinery and wanted to travel Vic the boss would get a client who needed a man for three to six weeks and arrange for one of his employees to be there for the specified period When the job was winding down all one did was give Vie a call two weeks before the finish and he would supply you with another job to go to In this way I got to see ports of the country I would normally not have seen My first Job was In Hakatara mea Volley which was one of the most beautiful areas of the country bar none It was located at the foot of the Kirkliston range of mountains with foothills forming the other side of the long narrow valley runs through it and flows into the Hakalaro River which is one of the best salmon fishing rivers In the South Island The job itself wus culling and baling hay as well as general tractor work for one of the smaller farmers there On New Year Day I decided to climb there was no climbing involved really Kirkliston peak which is 6 17S feet high It took me three and a half long hours to slug my way up the mountain and there were limes when I thought I had had enough Continued on page Mount Cook a seen from the Mure his on Plateau shows the mountain three peaks quite clearly The highest of three peak on the right and measures 12 feet high The main feature from this view is the Caroline face which funs up to the middle peak and has been climbed successfully six times Correction In in last week edition of The Herald
