The Harristen -.crew wasted
Although the brand of hockey
played wasn't up to its usual
standard, the game between the
Clinton and Seaforth juveniles
in Clinton, Wednesday, was one
of the most exciting ever stag-
ed in the local arena,
The game was a nip and tuck
affair right down to the wire
and it took 10 minutes of over-
time before the locals emerged
with a hard-fought 7-6 margin
to cap the series two gamea to
one.
With three players still on the
sidelines with the flu and a
couple of others performing who
should have been in bed, the
local Legion six started off in
high gear in the exciting tilt,
They took a 4-1 lead in the
first period with flob Livermore
denting the twine twice and
Borden McRae and Laurie Col-
quhoun picking up singles,
Ken Bedard was the lone Sea-
forth sniper in the period,
However, Seaforth came roar-
ing back in the middle frame
and picked up goals off the
sticks of Gary Robinson, Ken
Appleby and Tom Phillips to
knot the count to start the final
period.
little time in taking a lead in
the tilt, blinking the light in
the early minutes of the .Open*
ing frame.
But Clinton came flying back
to dump :in three of their own
to take a 3.1 lead into the
The final frame provided the
most excitement as both squads
missed several good opportuni-
ties but Clinton finally found
the range at the 13:05 mark
on a neat play by John Cooper.
He took a pass from Doug
Macaulay at centre and whip-
ped around the lone defender
to get a clear break on Tom
McNaught and he pulled the
goalie well out of the nets be-
fore tucking the disc in an open
corner.
The homesters attempted to
protect their slim lead, but
Seaforth knotted the count with
less than three minutes to play
when Ron Rochon broke in with
Bob Papple to lift a blazer past
the out-stretched arms of Dort
Freeman.
Seaforth's Wayne Rau picked
up a minor penalty in the final
minute and Clinton really turn-
ed on the pressure, but the
period ended with McNaught
sprawling on a loose puck on his
door step.
Hectic Overtime
After a brief breather, the
squads resumed action in the
overtime to settle the contest
and Seaforth jumped into a
quick lead on a tally by Rochon
at the 1:55 mark.
However, Clinton came
bouncing right back and John
Cooper knotted the count at 6-6
when his backhander found the
open corner after taking a pass
from the point from Don Col-
quhoun.
Colquhoun then really became
the hero of the match at the
8:10 mark when he took a pass
from Bruce Cooper at his point
position and blazed a low liner
that caught the bottom corner
behind McNaught to cap the
win.
There was a total of 19 penal-
ties in the thrilling match with
Clinton picking up 11 of them.

Colquhoun Paces
Leaf Squad
In Playoff Win
The Maple Leafs took a 1-0
lead in their best-of-three final
in the Kinsmen peewee loop,
Monday, scoring a 6-3 win over
the Canadiens.
Cam Colquhoun was a one-
man show for the winners, pot-
ting all six of his team's goals
in the battle.
Wes Chambers picked up a
pair for the Canadiens, while
Steven Johnston bagged the
other.
Rick Fremlin picked up one
assist on Chambers' first goal.
Second game of the set will
be played at the arena, Satur-
day, at 11:00 a.m. and if a
third game is necessary will be
played on Monday at 7:30 p.m,
Before entering the final
series, the Maple Leafs whipped
the Rangers 6-5 in the last
game of the season, spoiling
the losers' last hope of catch-
ing a playoff berth,
Cam Colquhoun was the scor-
ing leader in that tilt as well,
blinking the light three times.
Billy Stirling picked, up a pair
and Durwin Carter knotched
the other.
Carter's goal was the winner,
coming in the dying minutes
to sew up the victory.
R. Farquhar triggered a pair
for the Rangers, as did Mac-
Donald. Greg Burns picked up
a single.

would be happy to fill the stor-
age tank if it was used in the
event of a fire.
Council said they would def-
initely investigate the work in
the spring and one councillor
estimated cost of the project
at around $500.
Dig Second Well
Earlier in the meeting, coun-
cil held a lengthy discussion in
regards to the proposed well at
Egmondville for domestic use.
They received word from the
Ontario Water Resources Com-
mission that if the well was
pumping less than 10,000 gal-
lons per day, no permit from
that department was needed.
Tests in the area have shown
that a well could be dug to
supply up to 30 gallons of water
per minute for the residents
and the cost has been estimat-
ed at $1,177.
Councillor Art Varley noted
that the Ontario Municipal
Board may require them to call
tenders for the project if the
township is forced to borrow
money to finance the project.
He suggested the engineer be
contacted immediately for a
definite answer on this, so work
can commence as soon as pos-
sible.
"We can't afford to let this
sit," he stated. "We have to
get pushing on it
Let Tenders
After a lengthy discussion,
council decided to accept the
tender of Aubrey Eickmeyer,
Egmondville, for the supplying
of warble fly powder at a cost
of $4.75 per 15-pound bag.
It was one of 11 received,
and was the lowest submitted
by a township resident, al-
though there were two lower
bids received from persons out-
side the municipality.
The tender for spraying the
cattle was awarded to Hubert
Cooper, Exeter, at a price of
10 cents per head.
A lower tender of eight cents
was received, but council inter-
viewed the applicant and when
he said he was not "particular-
ly interested" in the work, gave
it to the Exeter man.
Costs for farmers will remain
the same as last year at 14
cents per head for spraying or
75 cents per pound for any who
chose to do the work them-
selves.
In discussing the tenders for
the powder, council decided
that next year they would re-
quest suppliers to stipulate
what brand they would supply
and whatqualities it possessed.
In the applications received,
only two named the brand of
the product.
The final tender let was to
Levis Contracting Co. Ltd.,
Clinton, for crushing and haul-
ing 14,000 cubic yards of gravel
for the township roads.
One of three tenders submit-
ted, it was the lowest at 68
cents per cubic yard,
In other business, council:
Learned that approval for
the improvements for a railroad
crossing in the township had
been approved by the Board of
Transport Commissioners and
that the council would only be
faced with paying 12% percent
of the entire cost.
Backed a motion frctni the
141.u-on County Cream Producers
opposing any legislation that
would permit margarine manu-
facturers to color their product
to imitate butter.
Were informed by their audi-
tors, A. M, Harper and Com-
pany, Goderich, that costs for
auditing the books next year
Would jump from $600 to $750
due to the increased costs of
operating the office and also
the increased costs in supply-
ing all the information needed
by the department of municipal
affairs.
The 1963 mill rate for town.
ship purposes was set at 9.0
mills for farm and residential
and 11.2 mills for Commercial,
following the consideration of
the 1962 audit and the 1963
estimates,
This rate remains unchanged
from the previous year.
All Members of council were
present.
"If we had played our best
and they had played their
worst, we still wouldn't have
beaten them."
This was the comment made
by W/C Vinnicombe after his
RCAF Clinton Thunderbolts
were whipped 8-1 by Camp Bor-
den in a sudden death fixture
for the Eastern Canada cham-
pionship, Sunday.
Playing before a crowd of
over 800 in the Camp Borden
arena, the hosts took control
of the game in the second
period'and never looked back.
They opened up a 1-0 lead in
the first stanza and built it up
to 4-0 by the end of the second.
The teams split a goal each
in the first 10 minutes of the
final frame, but the homesters
came back with three unan-
swered markers in the final 10
Mildmay bantams took a
one-game lead in their best-of-
three WOAA "D" finals when
they hammered Aclastral Park
by a•score of 14-2 at the RCAF
rink, Saturday.
Jumping into a 7-0 lead in the
first period, the visitors dis-
played a superior brand of hoc-
key in downing the area squad,
who are competing for their
first term in organized hockey,
"They really play hockey and
they certainly out-skated us,"
Adastral Park manager, Vic
Morrow, commented.
Brian Weller was the leading
scorer for the visitors, dumping
four goals past Brian Burnside
in the homesters' net.

may have had to catch Camp
Borden disappeared when they
ran into a rash of penalties in
the last 10 minutes as well.
However, the game was a
cleanly played affair and feat-
ured a good brand of hockey.
A pair of Aylmer hockey pro-
ducts starred for the winners.
Roy Weatherby, a former Sen-
ior "B" goalie with the Im-
perials played a steady game
in the nets and thwarted many
of the good scoring opportuni-
ties of the Thunderbolts.
Speedy Wayne Mitchell, a
graduate of the Aylmer minor
ranks was one of the leading
scorers in the game, sharing
the honors with crafty Andy
Demers.
Swiss Weatherby was the
lone sniper for the Thunder-
bolts.

Trail Chevs 2-0
RCAF Clinton's Thunderbolts

playoff game with the Phillips-
burg Chevs last night.
Playing a best-of-five quarter
final series, the powerful Chevs
lead' the series 2-0 and were
expected to oust the local squad
last night.
The Chevs opened the series
in Clinton last Tuesday with a
7-4 win over the Thunderbolts,
with Andy Sararas pacing the
attack with three goals.
After Clinton tied the score
at 3-3 midway through the mid-
dle frame, the Chevs came roar-
ing back to pot three quickies
to move into a lead they never
relinquished,
Christian was the top scorer
for the Thunderbolts, picking
up a pair of tallies, while the
others came off the sticks of
Forsyth and Robertson,
Playing back in New Ham-
burg, Friday, the hosts scored
with less than two minutes re-
maining in the contest to post
a 5-4 win.
The Philipsburg scoring was
evenly distributed amongst Cal
