Airport Usborne EXETER WINS THIRD VICTORY TRIMMING AIRPORT BUILDERS The locals hit their winning stride, after losing to Lucan the week before, trimming the Airport Builders 7-3, in the mid-week double header. Vic Lutman signalled his return to the harness, after missing the first couple of games, bagging three goals for the locals, one in each frame. Willard was another sharp­ shooter of the night whipping in a couple of markers, one in the first and the other in the second. Exeter bagged five goals before getting a reply from the Airport Builders. Lutman shot two of them and Stire, Moore and Willard got the other three. Morrisson flipped the puck over Ford after Bunny had saved when Sangster came in oh top of him. Willard and Lutnxan added a'Couple more and the Airport beys got two more in the dying minutes of the game, Armstrong and Allison bulging the hemp behind Eord. The smart combination plays of the local players were the high suets of the tussle. Moore’s goal early in the game was the result of a clever passing combination with captain Creech and Lawson. Wil­ lard’S goal a few minutes later was the same, on a play with Dinney and Macdonald. Moore sent Stire clear of the defence with a long pass in the dying minutest of the second that produced another clever goal. Exeter—Goal, Ford; defence, Ry- ckman and Gresch; centre.

Warden G. Armstrong is chairman of the honorary committee; and G. L, Parsons, Goderich, is county chair­ man, The canvassing district or­ ganization is in process of forma­ tion and will be composed of muni­ cipal chairmen and salesmen for the various canvassing districts of the county. The response of those asked to assist in -the Huron county Second Victory Loan campaign lhas been prompt and enthusiastic. Huron county is faced with a difficult problem in that more than. , half a million -dollars of the s-ub- - scriptions received in the last loan resulted from conversion of Domin- . ion of Canada bonds maturing in. 19 41. As there is no important public holding of Dominion bonds maturing this year, this source of I subscription will not be available this time. This means that more than 500,000 more of new money will have to be found in this cam- ' paign to equal last June’s record. 1 If willingness to work and eager- ! ness for success of the cause are any indication, Huron county will overcome this difficulty -and drive on to an even greater success than its record of last June.
