Tigers Meet Orono Again
For Ontario Championship
Ice Grouping Uncertain
But Teams Make Plans
H, J. CORNISH & CO.
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Dashwood Tigers face Orono in
the last round of their battle for
their second straight OBA Inter
mediate “D” championship.
The two well-matched teams,
who fought in the finals last
year, will meet for the first tilt
in Dashwood on Saturday and
then travel to Orono on Wednes
day,
The 'Tigers battled to the wire
with Orono last year for the On
tario title. The teams tied the
£irst game 7-7; Dashwood won
the second 9-4, and then squeezed
out a 4-3 win on neutral ground _
to take the series and the cham
pionship.
Win Semi-Finals
The Tigers won their semi
final round against Walsingham
with a thumping 15-3 win over
the Norfolk county team on Sun
day. The victory was a complete
reversal of form from the second
game when Dashwood slumped to
an 8-3 loss.
Leftie Gerry Guenther pitched
Sunday’s win to claim the two
victories of the series. He de
feated Walsingham 11-5 in the

The young southpaw held the
Bluebirds to seven hits as his
mates pounded tlie(r way around
the bases. The Tigers hit safely
in every inning and score' in six
of the nine. Their big-gun attack
came in the fifth with five runs;
three counted in the third, and
two each in the sixth, seventh
and eighth.
Dashwood clouted three Wal-
singham pitchers for 17 hits. Rob
bie Wein led the attack with a
triple, double and single; Bob
Stormes knocked a triple and a
single, and Carl Wein hit a dou
ble and a safety.
John Erd'elac started on the
mound for Walsingham but was
knocked out in the fifth. Ross
and Hanson finished the game.

Bill Ross tamed the Tigers on
Saturday with five-hit ball which
tied the series one game apiece.

How the Cyclone hockey group
will be formed this year won’t be
known until after the WOAA
meeting on October 10.
A six-team league with double,
schedule is being discussed but
this is only in the proposal stage.
The final decision will rest in the
hands of the district Association.
Although the Cyclone group
has formed itself before the main
WOAA meeting in previous years,
officials decided last spring to
leave the grouping to Tory
Gregg's organization. This meet
ing will be held on October 10.
While officials are waiting for
the group formation, teams are
preparing for another season.
Satisfied Willi. Progress
Colle Bowman, playing coach
and manager of Exeter Mohawks,
says he is satisfied with his pro
gress in lining up a contender.
He has signed several more play
ers.
Lucan has elected its hockey
executive and has been advertis
ing for players.
Reports from Ilderton indicate
the “D” club has an early start
on its organization.
Although there have been some
rumours from Zurich that the
Flyers will not enter the group
this year, there seems
doubt that that enthusiastic
key village will be back in
another top-notch team.

Criticism of the 10-team Cy
clone league with its multi-play
off series was expressed recently
by “Observer” in the Goderich
Signal-Star. The column says:
If Goderich has an intermed
iate team, we certainly hope it
will get into a decent league
and not a run-around circuit that
it got into last year. Let's hope
the WOAA will wake up and rea
lize that a 10-team loop ranging
from “A” to “D” calibre won’t be
taken to very kindly by the fans
—and they’re the ones who shell
out the sheckles to watch the
games. Another schedule like last
year’s and another half dozen
round robin series will be just
like asking fans to stay away.”
The Goderich club asked to
join the Cyclone league last year
and were admitted to the
along with Strathroy. The
acs placed second in the
ing and defeated Forest
sides for the “A” title.

FIREMAN

SAILOR
Reeve Of Blanshard
Defends County Setup
Speaking of an opinion ex
pressed this week by George S.
Henry, former Ontario premier,
that County Councils have “out
lived their usefulness,” John A.
Stephen, reeve of B 1 a n s h a r d
township and warden of Perth
county, said he feels that the
present system is inherently
sound, both financially and so
cially. “Most people like a def
inite link with neighboring town
ships, remaining also within their
own township group,” he said,
“and there is no more economical
adminisrative body than the
Fair Search
Nets $12.50
An unusual but successful sca
venger hunt at Western Fair last
week earned Mrs. Eunice Scone
of Exeter $12.50.
She and another lady had to
find a road map, a bowl of soup,
three yellow maple leaves, a
stick with a nail in the end for
picking up papers and a photo
grapher to take their picture.
Out of a crowd of 350 who
filled the theatre on the second
floor of the Arts Building, Mrs.
Stone’s name and that of Mrs.
J. Grant Smith, of London, were
selected to search the grounds
for the required articles with a
time limit of 20 minutes.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Stone
were not complete strangers. Mrs.
Smith had lived in a trailer here
for some time while her husband
superintended the building of
the new high school and the
ladies recalled seeing each other
during that time.
It was raining while they were
carrying out their search, so one
held an umbrella while the other
balanced the bowl of soup.
The only photographer to
found was on the midway,
could not finish a picture in
required time so that part of
stunt was not carried out.
However, the contestants were
given full credit and were pre
sented with 25 silver dollars
which was split 50-50.
The stunt was in connection
with the C.F.P.L. broadcast of
“Can You Name It?”, conducted
by Geoff Bingle and Paul Soles.
county council.’’
Warden Stephen’s main point
was that to maintain a body at
the provincial level to collate
the vast mass of material with
which the counties work would
An unusual but successful sca-
need a tremendous staff, because
of the distance of the central
location from various localities
within provincial boundaries. He
mentioned especially the work of
the county roads committee as
something that could not be split
up among the individual town
ships, and yet requires more on-
the-spot attention than any pro
vincial body could hope to give.
On the lower level of adminis
tration, in the individual town
ships, he said that there would
be “too any fingers in the pie”
for a uniform county-wide policy
to operate, especially with re
gard to the health and education
programs and the management of
county homes. Of Mr. Henry’s
suggestion of a “merger of small
municipalities,” Mr. Stephen said
“the county council is nothing but
a merger itself, of bodies that re
tain the advantages of independ
ent power, working out a sound
local area. Even though it doesn’t
pay the old high proportion of
certain county costs, it still has
to see that this money—which
is still the people’s, aftei’
is wisely spent.”
Other m embers of
County Council reacted in
lar way, stressing the distance
that would separate a centralized
government from an immediate
and local problem, and, on the
other hand, the lack of uniform
ity in policy that would result if
each township were made a free
agent.

possibility and the only one which
can be relied on at present is the
use of Dwarf Bunt free seed.
The Dwarf Bunt tolerance in
registered and certified grades of
seed wheat is zero. Under present
regulations this is doubly check
ed. First, a thorough field exam
ination is made and even if only
one head of Dwarf Bunt is found
the field is turned down for
registration. To be doubly sure,
the wheat sample which is sent
to Plant Products’ laboratories
for analysis and grade is sub

spores appear, the seed is reject

Crops Branch, Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture reported to
day. Approximately T% of the
fields examined so far show in
fected heads. The degree of in
fection to date is only a “trace”
and rarely exceeds two per cent.
Unfortunately, Dwarf Bunt is
known to remain in the soil
several years and therefore can
not be controlled by ordinary
seed treatment.
Dwarf Bunt is not easily ident
ified from the Common or Stink

identification can only be made
by a microscopic examination.
Usually the bunted stem is only
half the length of a normal stem.
The head is usually open and
pale in color and the kernels are
discolored and misshapen.
