The game was one of the most exciting and dramatic of all- star tilts. The northerners broke a 2-2 deadlock by scoring three runs in the ninth after two were out. Even then the game was in doubt as the south rallied in their half of the inning but were stopped just one short of tying the count again. The victory put the north ahead 4-2 in six years of the an­ nual all-star benefit game. But Wednesday night’s just as easily have south. It didn’t look as nerw could break the 2-2 tie in the ninth. After Exeter’s Bob Wide singled, losing hur ler Robbie Wein, of Dashwood, got the next two batters out. Then the picture changed as two mis- 3U.es in the infield gave the win­ ners the three runs they needed. In the last of the ninth, sing­ les by H. Marshall, of Strath­ roy, and Jim Hayter, of Dash­ wood, set up two runs for the south, Winning pitcher Ken Halley, of Mitchell, stopped the rally with the bases loaded. South opened the scoring in the third inning, tallying a run off starting pitcher Harry Jaco­ bi, of Exeter, by taking advan­ tage of a walk, hit and errors. North went ahead 2-1 in the fifth when they reached wood’s Bob Stormes for a and a double. Exeter’s Darling clouted the double brought in the runs. tn the last of the fifth, tallied again to knot the Luke Oulette, of Centralia, scor­ ed the counter after reaching first on an error. Evans, of Strathroy, pitched the best ball of the night, allow­ ing only one hit in three in­ nings. He started for the south. Jim Hayter and Carl Wein, both of Dashwood, were the los­ er’s strong hitters with two hits apiece. For the north, Mitchell’s Boles hit one for two—the one that scored the winning run in the ninth. game could gone to the if the win- Dash­ single Fred which south score. Mirs.. W. J.

J. Penhale, has re­ turned home. “I’ve seen a lot of nice country, but there is no place like Canada," said Miss Penhale. She went to Australia primar­ ily to visit her sister, Mrs. Shir­ ley Colby, and while there de­ cided to see something of the country. She accepted positions as a stenographer in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, coastal cities, where she said the clim­ ate was lovely for about nine months of the year and the beaches were most attractive. “There is very little difference in the cost of living in Australia and in Canada," said Miss Pen­ hale, “although the salaries paid there are lower than what is paid here," she said. In .going to Australia Mis^ Penhale crossed Canada to Van­ couver and took the Pacific route to Australia. Returning she left Perth, Australia, crossed the Indian Ocean stopping at Colomba, Ceylon; Bombay in In­ dia and up the Suez route to Marsailles, France, and then to England. In England she spent three weeks, principally in the city of "London, where much has been done in cleaning up and rebuild­ ing the damage caused blitz in the last or she experienced little austerity suffered by the _ as restaurants served splendid meals and the stores appeared to be well provided with mer­ chandise. war. As by the a visit- of the people, Mr. Simon Sweitzer waited on council complaining of traffic on west John street encroaching on his mother’s property and sug­ gesting that this be made a one­ way. street. Consideration of council was promised. Mr. Simon Greb appeared at the meeting claiming damage to car from rough streets on April 7. Mr. Greb was advised that council could not help him. Fire Chief Bill Chambers was authorized to order 300 feet of hose, six raincoats and six pairs of rubber boots. Request Hydrants T h e waterworks department informed council by letter* that a new line will be placed from the pumping station at the river to Wellington street. Council re­ quested that hydrants be placed at each corner. iThe South Huron Hospital was given a grant in lieu of taxes.' / Building permits were granted to A. O. Elliot, renovating build- /ing; Lorne Johnson, garage; ‘ John Ward, converting garage into living quarters; R. E. Rus­ sell, new store front; Leo Hen­ nessey, a garage. Action has been taken by the town council to clean up what for years has been the most unsightly spot in what other­ wise is considered a tidy little town. We refer to the town dump-ground which has stood out in unsightly contrast to the beautiful cemetery of which the community is so proud, and which is situated so closely A bulldozer has been employed to push back the debris and level the ground and an excavation has been made in which in fu- ture the garbage from the town will be buried, both aleviating the odor and unsightly appear­ ance to say nothing of getting rid of the rat-infested rubbish heaps. The fence <n front of the property with gates will be re­ built and trees are to be planted. Co-Operative Members To Decide On Mill Directors of Exeter District Co-Operative met over the week­ end to consider the rebuilding of the mill which burned last Sunday. No definite decision was reached, although President W. C. F. Oestrichex* said the general opinion was to rebuild. A full meeting of Co-Opera­ tive members will decide the is­ sue as soon as insurance adjust­ ments have been completed. Mr. Oestricher said damage was now estimated at between $40,000 and $50,000.

First to emerge were three of the interesting little creatures and in a few minutes the whole family was out.

You enter the living room and immediately get a very favour­ able impression as the walls are done in etchwood finished in na­ tural tone; shadowed squares form the ceiling and two-tone brown marboleum squares cover the floor. For furnishings there is a sectional living-room suite with table lamps and draperies to match the color scheme. A fireplace is at the east end. There are three bedrooms, all with a different color scheme, just like you marvel at when you pick up one of the latest house-keeping magazines. The front bedroom is in chartruse with walls and flooring blending with the built-in dresser. Bed­ spread and draperies with a touch of red add to the effect. The centre bedroom is the blue room with blue walls and ceiling. The floor is of grey mar­ boleum squares and as a pleas­ ing contrast the dressing table and drapes are a raspberry red. The back bedroom which could be used as a den o.v dinning- rooni is done in daffodil yellow with the same pleasing matching effects. Each bedroom has a roomy closet.
