Greenlee.
Of course this cow is happy as she dreams of the luscious
pastures she roamed in last June. But, just dreaming of sum
mer pastures—and summer production—won’t give you big
ger milk cheques this winter.
You can get high production—and more money.—from your
herd this winter, if you feed SHUR-GAIN Dairy Concen
trates custom mixed with your own grain in our mill. The
cost is small. Figure it out.
100 lbs. SHUR-GAIN Dairy Concentrate .......................$ 4.85
600 lbs. of your own grain (at market value) ...........$17.40
Cost of 700 lbs, of balanced dairy ration ........................$22.25
Compare the cost of 100 lbs. of this dairy ration with 100
lbs. of grain. You see the difference is only about 30 cents.
SHUR-GAIN 24% Milk Producer Concentrate ............ $4.55
SHUR-GAIN 22% Calf Starter ....................................... $4.65
SHUR-GAIN 24%, Calf Meal ........................................... $5.35
SHUR-GAIN Cattle Minerals ............ $4.40
SHUR-GAIN 24% Beefmaker Concentrate .................. $4.85
SHUR-GAIN 16% Dairy Ration ..................................... $3.55
You can’t afford not to feed SHUR-GAIN Dairy Concentrate
this winter. Try it and see. for yourself that SHUR-GAIN
saves and makes you money.

Wliat! No Cup?
The Spares may or may not
know it, but the only reward
they will receive for finishing .on
top in league bowling will be
the satisfaction derived from ac
complishing the feat. Of course,
they haven't won yet but, if Bob
Simpson can keep his team bowl
ing the way they have been and
Rene Francois doesn’t tire his
arm collecting Ken Hockey's
money, it looks like a cinch.
Do they get a bye into play
clowns? No. Do they get a sum
of money? No. Do they’ get a
cup? Not even a demi-tas! Tro
phies in the schedule-winnei* de
partment are as scarce as bottle
openers at a temperance meet
ing.
Last ’ year the championship
team, a team that didn't exactly
sparkle with good bowling in
the regular schedule, won the
championship. For the bowling
they did in the playoffs they de
served to win we’ll grant you,
but they didn't win much. Again,
no suitable cup. (They did get
small individual trophies.)
We think most bowlers will
agree that the team finishing on
top of the regular schedule has
bowled, with a mixture of good
luck and skill, well enough to
be rewarded. Any team can get
hot in the playoffs. If a team
stays hot and waltzes through
semi-finals and finals to win the
championship, then it too de
serves a stable award. We don’t
think the trophies for these two
categories have been adequate in
past years.
Merchants Generous
Exeter merchants generously
donated several plaques when
the alleys opened six years ago.
Bronze plaques are still sought
each year in the women’s league,
donated by Fink’s Meat Market
(for high average), Dot's Beauty
Shoppe (high triple), and The
Exeter Times-Advocate (high
single),
‘‘Honor rolls” that would
grace the walls of any bowling
alley were donated, by Brady’s
Sanitone Cleaners (for the wo
men) and Newton’s Motor Sales
(for the men).
Jack Smith, Jeweller, offered
a Bulova watch for the best sin
gle game in the men’s league
last year, and this year 'is offer
ing a watch in both leagues.
Conspicuous Lack
The team finishing the sched
ule in first place and the play
off champions are not sufficient
ly awarded. It would improve
the situation if two king-sized
cups could be given those two
teams, cups that would remain
in the alleys on a shelf for that
purpose. The winners’ names
could be engraved on the cups
annually, while the members of
the championship team could be
awarded individual trophies sim
ilar to last year's.
High triple, high single and*,
high average, 'of course, also
merit a token.
It is time something was done
about this. We believe the league
executive can and will remedy
the situation, at least partially.
Certainly, they should try!

965, 1,071-966 and 961-1,098 in
some not too fancy games. Bill
Thornton’s 616 (244) for the
losers stood out for both teams.
MONDAY NIGHT
Spare Burts 4, Strikes 3
The Spare Parts edged the
Strikes 4-3 in three close games
—990-946, 996-1,051 and 1,124-
1,118. They won the total pins
point by five. Ed Conrad again
led the winners, rolling 593
(257) and Bob Ellerington had
657 (246) for the Strikes.
Keglers 7, Pinpoppers O
Pop Watson’s Keglers struck
pay-dirt when they met the
powerless Pinpoppers, blanking
them 7-Q. The games were close
though—1,03 8-1,021, 1,199-1,172
and 1,167-1,163. Pop was best
for the Keglers with 657 (274)
but Busselle's 649 (234) and
Roger G uay’s 647 (236) were
right behind. Bob Nicol mastered
them all with 814 (303) for the
losers.
Maroons 5, Whi»z Bangs 2
Tight games were bowled when
the Maroons and Whizz Bangs
met, the colored shirts getting
the better of the fracas—1,052-
1,095, 1,061-1,026 and 1,159-1,-
136. Bill Disney bowled 604
(273) for the winners.
Short Circuits 4, Rural Rollers 3
An understaffed team of Short
Circuits edged Wilf Shapton’s
pride-and-joy 4-3, but a hefty
handicap was a great asset to
the winners — 957-1,024, 1,065-
1,030 and 1,208 - 1,186. Doug
Harrison topped the hydro boys’
scores with 612 (297) and Lloyd
Stewart dropped 628 (265) for
the Rural Rollers.
Spares 7, Windmills O
The league - leading Spares
fanned the Dutch Boy Windmills
7-0, catching them minus a man.
The games finished 1,132-1,107,
1,237-1,110 and 1,203-963, the
Spares having one of their bet
ter nights. Bob Simpson and Don
Bray were neck-and-neck with
698 (237) (282) for a triple,
and Rene Francois bowled a re
liable 679 (2G0) for the win
ners. Al Hoskins, 675 (241), and
Bill Thornton, 656 (269), looked
good for the losers.
Game Postponed
The game- between the Butch-,
ers and the Tradesmen will be
bowled Wednesday night.
