McDonald, He walk­ ed off with the sweater and the change, An accomplice had been in the store a few minutes before. The same gentleman entered the grocery store of Rollie Motz and purchased 95c. worth of tobacco. While he was making the purchase his accomplice entered the store and greeted him with “Hello Bill, where are you working now?’’ “Out in the country” came the answer, “What are you doing in town?” was the- next question. “Buying my weekly supply of tobacco” he replied. Mr. Motz was thrown off guard and the stranger walked off with tobacco and change leaving a worthless cheque drawn the same way and for the same amount as the previous one.

Exeter Completes Schedule Undefeated Lutman Stars GRAND BEND FISHERMEN SNOWBOUND Search Party Thought Fishermen Had Been Carried Out Into Huron In Storm Lake Bend were Alarm was raised at Grand Sunday when five fishermen feared carried out into Lake Huron on an ice floe during the height of a snow storm. 'Later they were found with their car stuck in a snowbank unable to return to their homes. The fishermen Joseph Brenner, Wilbert Dewel, Hector Gill, E. Gill and Herbert Pfile, had set oiit by car at 1.30 p.m. for Beach o’ Pines beach where they had nets set, through the ice. When they had not returned by dark three car-loads of searchers set out for the district where 'it was known their nets had been set in the ice not far from the shore. In the storm it could not be de­ termined if the ice had been moved out by the high east wind or the fishermen had lost their way. About 6.30 o’clock one of the fishermen was able to walk through the drifts to a telephone to notify friends that they were safe and their car snow­ bound on the road on the return t/ip. The homesters finished clane schedule defeating 5-2 in the Arena, last Thursday ev­ ening. Vic Lutman proved to be the outstanding .player for the locals, finding the net for three goals, and assisting in a fourth. Exeter has still to be defeated in the schedule games; their only loss this season being in an exhibition game with. Lobo. Crediton opened up fast and sev­ eral times they threatened at Ford’s door-step but were unable to tally. The Exeter boys managed to hit their stride and Beavers put them out in front grabbing the puck from the blue line and swerved in front of the net to beat .Blackwell. Wally Fahrner evened the count when his blue line shot caught the corner of the cage. Beavers missed a real opportunity to collect his second goal when combining up the ice with' Dinney he shot wide of the net. Lutman began his scoring spree early in the second period. Taking Ryckman’s pass at the blue line he whipped the .puck into the net. Cor­ nish rushed up the ice and slipped a pass over to MacDonald but the over-anxious player missed the cor­ nel' of the net. (Lutman collected his second tally when he scored on a beautiful accurate drive from the side of the net. 'Cornish again set up this play. Baynham split the de­ fense and swooped in on Ford who dived out to make a brilliant save. Beavers came right back but Black- well met him with a nice save. Exeter continued to force the play in the third frame and Lutman com­ pleted his hat trick. Ryckman, Mac­ donald and Lutman rushed up the ice abreast. Lutman’s fierce caught the corner of the net a beautiful combination by the players, 'Bowden slapped the puck in front of the cage to get Crediton’s second and last counter. MacDonald then tallied with Lut- man’s assistance to end the sniping. The line ups; Exeter: Goal, Ford defense, Cornish, Creech; centre, MacDonald; wings, Ryckman, Lut­ man; subs.
