In the country it is about impos­ sible to get through farm lanes even if the roads are passable—con- esquently the campaign is held up. Canvassers are anxious to get at ■the job and assure us that they will get going as soon as they can. The fund will 'be kept open to give everyone a chance. Soon we will be expecting good news from Grand Bend, Dashwood, Crediton, Cent­ ralia, Zion, Elimville, Thames Road, Hurondale and all the districts. In the meantime Exeter people are giv­ ing the canvassers a fine reception and over $1,000 has been secured. The Lions Club has donated $150, the Oddfellows $50, Leavitt’s Theatre $105, and a long list of individual donations follows. For various reasons some people are missed by the canvassers—-we Suggest that these people look up the canvassers or .make their dona­ tion at vocate, ceipt. Snell L. J.

From start to finish it was typi­ cal payoff hockey and not till Trites’ goal with 16 seconds to go was the issue assured. Kennedy scored just past 'the half way mark of the third to put Hensall within one goal of the locals and from then on pressed them fiercely. However, the homesters managed to hold off their persistent rivals and made sure their late Scoring _x.___ ___ _ ______ After the game had 'been tied up near the Legionnaires ibroke loose three counters to jump into a 4-1 lead ere the period ended.

Teams were at loggerheads ■arrange the second game of series and at time of writing it looks as if t;Jie (Championship will be left undecided. Exeter wanted to play the game Thursday night so that if a third game was neces­ sary it could be played Saturday night and the series would be over this week. On the other side of the picture Hensall refused to ice a team that night because several of their men were playing Wednes­ day night in another league. Man- ' ager Wils Allen definitely stated after the game that he would not bring his team Thursday night. When the chips were down the locals came through. After a couple of bad games they hit their usual stride Tuesday night and settled down to serious hockey. The team was strictly on the offensive at all * times. Art Trites came through with a four-goal effort for his night’s work. His first .and third tallies were particularly good. Although his knee gave him some trouble Wes Ryckman celebrated his re­ turn to 'the local lineup with two goals and was back in his old form. His Second counter near the end of the first .period was the smartest one of the entire night. The clever stickhandler worked his way from his own zone through the complete Hensall tqam to shift in on Mickle and catch the rigging. For Hensall Kozachock bagged three tallies to complete the hat trick.

Three minutes lapsed before Exeter started' the ball rolling with a clever three-man combination in­ side the Hensail blueline. Ryckman climaxed the play with Trites and MacDonald. Exeter kept on the at­ tack and Ryckman again tested Mickle but the Hensall goalie came up with a nice save. Kozachock potted Doig’s rebound to square the teams. However less than two •minutes rolled by before Exeter went on t'heir three-goal scoring spree. Preszcator raced up the ice with the disc, slipped it over to Stire whose shot came out to Hen­ nessey. Jack banged it in past Mickle. Fletcher let a three man attack with Shaw and Trites short­ ly after. Trites took the puck at the blueline and worked his way through the defence to pop the red- light. With thirteen seconds to go Ryckman wound up on his one man sortie to make the score read 4-1. Hensall retaliated early in the second and ute mark Nicholson’s boards and the hemp with a long blueline shot.
