There has been a great deal of talk
lately about the possibility of en
tering in the .Intermediate OHA
loop. For this reason the Recrea
tional Council are holding a meet
ing to determine the action thought
best to take. Whatever your idea
on the matter you are urged to
attend, The matter will be dropped
entirely if the support of the loeal
businessmen and fans does not
warrant a go-ahead sign. In this
connection George Shaw, formerly
of the Centralia Flyers, is particu
larly anxious Jo lend the boys a
helping hand both in playing and
coaching.*

Hail Damages
Western Crops
A CP despatch from Winnipe
the latter part of last week states
that capricious cumulo-nimbus, or
thunder-clouds in which hailstones
are conceived, causes losses tenta
tively estimated last night at more
than $30,000,000 and possibly as
high as $40,090,000 to prairie far
mers this year. It was one of the
worst years in decades for such
storms.
Hardest-hit province is Alberta
where the Alberta Wheat Pool esti
mates crop damage at $20,000,000
highest in 10 years. J. Glen Elder,
manager of the province's hail "in
surance board,
already have
that he expects
and $2,000,000
Areage destroyed or damaged is
placed at 600,000, in Alberta.
The loss runs high also in Sas
katchewan where it is estimated at
between $10,000,000 and $20,000,-
000. Two insurance companies
there report claims for about
$1,000,000 each, which on a basis
of $5 an acre would mean 200,000
acres ruined, This, however, is only
a partial figure. There are a num
ber of hail insurance companies
and many farmers carry no pro
tection.
Manitoba’s loss is placed at $1,-
000,000, half of which occurred in
one big storm, although official
figures will not be prepared until
the end of September. It was one
of the few times that more than
half the province’s 14 crop districts
reported hail damage ■— only the
Winnipeg area escaped. It was the
blackest in Manitoba’s farming
history.
Only about 25 per cent, of Al
berta farmers affected carried suf
ficient insurance to cover cost of
seed, labor and other expenses and
this ratio is believed to hold good
for the other provinces.
One of the worst storms devas
tated a 5 0-mile strip from Wetaski-
win, south of Edmonton, to the
Saskatchewan border. Another
wiped out 40,000’ acres in the Mor
ris district of Southern Manitoba.
The latest report to the Calgary
hail insurance board said crops
were 60 to 100 per cent, destroyed
last Monday by haid in a two-mile
swath which extended from Bed
dington, northwest of Calgary,
Cheadle and on to Namaka, 40
