What this country needs is fewer people telling us what this country needs. An angry travelling salesman asked Rock Ridge's only cab driver why they put the depot so blasted far from town. “Wai, stranger,” said the driver, “I dunno, less’n it’s that they want to get the de­ pot ez close ez possible to the rail­ road.” Bill: “My wife doesn’t under­ stand me; does yours?” Jim; “I don’t think so . . . I’ve never even heard her mention your name!” But you can be sure that plenty of people are mentioning our name as the place to get real top quality car service . . . there’s no car need that wc don’t understand.

The Ordinance Corp scored the first tally near the middle of the first period but four minutes later Shaw and MacDonald broke away with MacDonald scoring on Shaw’s rebound. The Ordinance Corps went ahead on Bell’s tally after nine minutes of the second had rolled by. How­ ever only two minutes elapsed -be­ fore Shaw, MacDonald and Trites •broke away with Shaw the marks­ man. Trites made it 3-2 six min­ utes later, Ryckman scored his two goals in the third with 'Shaw add­ ing his second and Tuckey getting the first tally of the period, Kerr in the nets and Faulkner on the wing were London's best. The visiting goalie turned in some nice saves and 'Faulkner was easily the best man on the ice. EXETER—Goal, Smith; defence, Fletcher and Ryckman; centre, MacDonald; wings, Shaw and Trites; subs, H.

Dashwood 7, Grand Bend 1 After twice being postponed the Dashwood-Grand Bend game made up the second half of the double­ header. The 7-1 win put Dashwood in third place, one point ahead of Lucan. This change in the standing pairs Exeter and -Dashwood, and Hensall and Lucan in the semi­ finals. White was the Dashwood scor­ ing ace with three tallies closely followed by his centre partner, Musser, with two. Grand Bend enjoyed the edge in a scoreless first -period but faded in the second .and third. The middle canto was very young when Musser, and White banged in two quick tallies before Grand Bend retaliated ■on a three-way effort by Wally Des- jardine, Dawe and Ed Dewey. Des­ jar dine was t'he scorer. From a face-off near t'he Grand 'Bend net White took Musser’s draw to fire it past Tideman making the score 3-1 at the end of the period. White scored two of his goals in the final period and 'Schroeder and Musser aided the Dashwood cause with single tallies. Musser’s goal climaxed a neat end-to-end sortie. — FINAL STANDING-— Cyclone W L T pts.

Five of the seven, whose names were announced Friday by Mayor Stuart Crawford of Kingston, presi­ dent of the Hall pf Fame, played as ■professionals, but two others played only as amateurs. The pros Were: 'Fred (Cyclone) Taylor, the whirlwind from Listow- el who ranks as one of the greatest centres; Eddie 'Shore, who as de­ fenseman for Boston 'Bruins was tagged “Mister I-Iockey” ahd is still active as a manager ahd owner; Frank .Niglibor, the Pembroke na­ tive who was probably the greatest defensive centre and most skillful pokecheck artist of all itiihe; Aurol Joliat, diminutive but bril­ liant left Whig of -Montreal Cana- diens; Lester Patrick, hockey’s 'Sil­ ver Fox, who starred as .a player in ’both east and west before winding Up with a 20-year stretch as man­ ager of New York Rangers, in the National Hockey League. The two amateurs are Russell Bowie, a star for 17 years with the did Montreal Victorias, and Cap­ tain James Sutherland, once a standout junior player but better known as a past president and a CYCLONE PLAYOFFS Contrary to what was announced in this column last week, Hensall will meet Lucan and Exeter will face Dashwood in the semi-final, goals-to-count round. A league game which was twice postponed between Dashwood and Grand Bend was .played at the Arena last Thursday night. The win gave Dashwood eleven points to take over third place from Lucan. If weather conditions permit the ser­ ies will be played at the Arena, on Wednesday and Friday nights. -x- NEW TROPHY The new trophey being presented to the Cyclone League by J. A. Traquair, a past president, is now on display at his store. The smartly designed trophey is to be presented to the league-leading team at the end of the season’s schedule. The first .holders will be the Exeter Legionnaires who finished two points in front of •Hensall. DISTRICT HOOKEY Seaforth Beavers having won the first round of the Intermediate series with Clinton Radio School will now meet their old rivals the Clinton Colts for the group cham­ pionship. Up in Goderich the Mid­ gets eliminated Durham. The first game of the series ended in .a 6-6 tie and the County Seat entry had to come from behind twice to edge the Durham lads. -x- -x- -x- * TOP SCORERS In the thirteen games played this year by the Exeter Legionnaires which include both scheduled and exhibition tilts Shaw continues to lead the goal getting parade with twenty-three. Next in line are Trites with eighteen, 'MacDonald and Ryckman with eleven and H. Brintnell with five. Unfortunately we haven’t the assist record for out- of-town games to compile a point record. * * * * SIGNS WITH MONTREAL ' Jackie Robinson, the negro ball star with Montreal last- year, has returned a singed contract to the head office at Montreal. Although the young negro led the Inter­ national league in batting last year and -put on a fine display of .ball he apparently isn’t being considered seriously for an infield position with the Dodgers. Robinson is dis­ appointed with his new salary 'but in the spirit that made him so popu­ lar in .Montreal says he will try to impress the Dodgers in spring training. Maybe “Lippy” Durocher figures he’s caused enough stir this year already! * * * * BASKETBALL Both the Exeter and Airport basketball squads have 'been ousted in the Intermediate series. The Cen­ tralia Flyers put oxit the locals in a hard-fought series and the Flyers in turn were eliminated by the powerful Tillsonburg entry. * * * * THIS ’N THAT For a defenceman Wes Ryckman is really piling up the points this season . . . 'Manager Hap Wells will have his hands full to make the choice between his two goaltenders, Smith and Philp, s for the playoffs . . . They can’t abolish these double­ headers too soon to suit us, and ■apparently there are a good many fans who think likewise. Last Thursday tilts wound up fairly close to midnight and yet the teams still play most of their periods twenty-three minutes straight. Only a very few remained on hand until the last game was finished. Do You Recall? Digging back in the files of the Times-Advocate in 1925 we find an interesting account of a hockey tilt in the old Pome rink between two teams made up of players who were not supposed to have had skates on for ten years. The assumed names of the Has Deen’s and the Never Wuzzer’s were the “Fats” and the “Slims.” The game ended in a 6-6 tie. The account says that Ted Baw- den starred for the Fats with his flashes of speed. He scored two goals, Homer Bagshaw was also in the limelight, Walter Cunningham in goal was a marvel but would have been able to save more had there been a little sand in the goal to prevent slipping and a wide board would have been easier to handle than a goal stick. The antics of Bill Hodgert on defence were good and it was necessary to put him off several times for falling when nobody was near. For the Slims, Herb Southcott was good and he usually stopped Ted Bawden at any cost. Ted says his coat will tell the “tale” for there’s no tail left on it. Herb shot three beautiful goals for the 'Slims and it is thought that he will be found in faster company next year. Ed Christie played well once he got started but before the finish was looking for the one who started “this foolish game.” Campbell Wares was a great goalie for the ■Slims and seemed best when on ■hands and knees swooping them out of the way. All the other boys played a swell game, the account goes on to say, but it was fortunate that there was a fence around the ice or some of them would be -going yet. A return game will be played as soon as the sore spots are better. On the Fats lineups were Walter Cunningham, Heck Heywood, Bill Hodgert, iMilt Hodgert, Homer Bagshaw and Ted Bawden. The Slims had Campbell Wares, Herb Southcott, Ed Chris­ tie, Tom Pryde, Ted Harness and Tom -Nelson. Sid Sanders subbed for both teams and Dick Harness handled the 'bell. STAMP WILL HONOR FATHER OF TELEPHONE A new Canadian four-cent stamp will be issued shortly to commem­ orate the centenary of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell. The stamp, 'bearing a picture of the famous inventor and physicist, will be formally issued on March 3, 100 years afterV3ell’s birth in Edin­ burgh, 'Scotland. The new issue will be the first commemorative stamp Canada has issued since 1939, when a stamp ■commemorating the royal visit was printed. Although he came to Canada in 1870, and resided for a short time at Brantford, Ont., with his par­ ents, he spent much of his life in the United States, doing research on aids -to the deaf in Boston and later in Washington. His diary indicates he got the inspiration for the telephone while on a holiday at Brantford in 1874, and it was in that city that he made the first transmission of speech over a real line. In his later years, he spent his summers in Cape Breton, and lie finally moved to Canada and lived in the Maritimes foi’ many years. He is buried at Beinn Breagh, Bad- deck, N.S., where he conducted early aeronautical experiments and head­ ed a group that produced the first plane to fly in the British Empire. •He died at Baddeck, on August 2, 1922. The following personality sketch of a native of Exeter was taken from Canada’s Health and Welfare magazine. J. s. White, deputy minister of the Saskatchewan Department of Social Welfare, was born at Exeter, Ontario, 'but moved to Saskatche­ wan as a young 'boy with his par­ ents. For many years his father, the late J. J. White, was editor of ■the Exeter Times leaving here for Outlook, Sask,, where he was edi­ tor of a weekly newspaper. Mr. White received all his academic education In the town of Outlook, obtaining his senior matriculation 'from the Outlook Lutheran College in 1925. After attending a short normal school course in Regina the following year, he "turned to busi­ ness. In 1931 Mr. White began his con­ nection with the provincial service, joining the provincial treasury de­ partment. In the............... ’ was transferred to provincial auditor he remained for until another transfer in 1937 to the grain and fodder branch of the Saskatchewan Department of Agri­ culture for the purpose of super­ vising office work respecting the movement of large quantities of feed grain, seed grain and fodder during the 1937-3 8 season. In the summer of 1938 he was appointed manager of that branch which, on the inauguration of the Prairie Farm Assistance Act, went out of existence toward the end of 1939. •Mr. White was appointed super­ intendent of old age pensions for the province in January 1940, oc­ cupying this position until his ap­ pointment as commissioner of old age pensions in the spring of 1943. When the Department of iSocial Welfare was formed in the summer of 1944 he was elevated to his pres­ ent position of The Department branches and a prises under its include the child welfare branch, the old age pensions branch, the social aid branch which administers social assistance, mothers’ allow­ ances, and a rehabilitation project for Metis people in the province. The 'Department also administers the Industrial School for Boys, the Home for the Infirm, a babies' nursery and a hostel for teen-age girls who are wards of the Depart­ ment. Since the formation of the Department the staff has increased from 160 to 285. fall of 1932 he the office of the on whose staff some five years deputy minister, has several main number of enter­ jurisdiction.

Legacies Await Zurich Family Gordon Zirk, 'Zurich, is looking for his brothers Wilfred and Gor­ don and his sister Dorothy in or­ der to pay them each $1,000. The trio are beneficiaries- to -that amount from the estate of -their mother Catherine Zirk, Hay Township, who died January 19, 1945. When Mrs. Zirk died, her son Gordon and Menno Oesch, also of Zurich, obtained probate of her will and as executors began distribution of the estate. Two stepchildren Olive and Percy Zirk were given specific bequests- of $30'0 and $200 respectively. The residue of $6,000 was 'to be divided equally between her children 'Gordon Roger, Leon­ ard, Ruth, Dorothy and Wilfred. Wilfred Zirk has been missing since 191S, but his mother’s will nevertheless provided he should get his sixth share, but in the ev­ ent he should not “appear again” the money was to go equally to ■the other five children. His sister Dorothy Zirk was to keep his $-1,000 in the meantime. Dorothy has not 'been heard from since 1942. Roger , has not ibeen heard from since 1941. Saturday at Weekly High Court in London, R. N. Weekes, lawyer for the executors, asked the presid­ ing judge how to dispose of these unclaimed shares. The trio has been fought and adverised for since the death of the mother.
