Recounting the general results, the name of Alex. M. Crawford, of Wingham, Ontario, stands out as prominently as ever. This burly Scot must have been rear­ ed on oatmeal and haggis plus the balmy airs of Lake Huron’s familiar coast-line, for he has been winning bowling tournaments Wingham was a jungle; so that his successes in the surprised no one. trying to gild the the recounting of bowling successes of Alexander M. Crawford on the greens of Florida and of his native heath would not on­ ly be a formidable task but an entire­ ly superfluous one. But there is one unassailable fact standing out over a long term of bowling years—there are mighty few Alex. Crawfords just be­ cause there are mighty few “iron­ men” in the bowling game. There it is in a nut-shell! For the most part his reign here goes on unmolested. And now, just to climax the whole performance, the membership of the St. Petersburg Lawn Bowling Club, the largest on earth, so ’tis said, at the last annual meeting handed this same Alex. Crawford, on a big brass tray, the vice-presidency for 1936. We doubt not that, as the year draws to a close, Santa Claus will return to re-fill Alec’s spacious hosiery with the presidential office. If so, we predict b successful "year” for the redoubt­ able clansman from Wingham, tario, whose neighbors should •proud of him. On- be Mrs. (Rev.) E. C.

Seaforth, sheriff at By defeating Gorrie by the narrow margin of 2-1, Blyth won the group championship, Friday night, and the 1 right to play-off with Kitchener in the semi-final round. The game drew a fair crowd, most­ ly from Blyth, the Blyth Band accom­ panying the team and playing several selection between periods and before the game started. Gorrie took the initiative right at the start of the first period and for a few -minht'es'',pr'O'SpeCts didn’t look any too good for Blyth, as McGee was peppered from every angle, but halfwqy through the period Blyth put on the pressure and carried the bat­ tle the other way for several minutes. Robinson put Blyth ahead on a pass- out from Kennedy after Steurnol had turned aside several dangerous shots. Jardine went to the cooler for trip­ ping and Gorrie pressed hard. Brown missed a good scoring chance just be­ fore Tommy got back on the ice. The second period was mostly Gor­ rie, as Blyth seemed to have a dif­ ficult time getting out from behind their own blue line. When they did get out Brown grabbed a loose puck and almost beat McGee on a rush. Then Kennedy missed a good chance when the puck got away from him him right in front of the Gorrie net. Brown was finally rewarded for his efforts when he scored on a com­ bination play with Higgins, to even the count. A minute later Brown miss­ ed another golden opportunity while Kennedy was in the punishment plant for tripping Higgins. Kennedy just returned to the ice when S. Ashton drew a rest for slashing. Blyth tried to put on the pressure but Gorrie were going wide-open and had the edge for the period. The third period started out as if play were going to be confined to centre-ice as nobody seemed to be able to get aWay. Joe Haggitt took a solo rush and Steurnol was called on to make a great save. S. Ashton received a cut on his forehead when he was hit by a high shot. Davidson, who was very effective all night, rush­ ed several times and McGee had, a couple of very hard ones to handle. Doak missed a real chance to score, his shot being a little wild. About half way through the period Joe Hag­ gitt "put the fix’’ on the game when he speared the disc behind his own net, carried it through the whole Gor­ rie team and boat Steurnol for the winning goal. From then on, Blyth played defensive hockey, while Gor- (Continued on Rage Four) of St. Paul’s held Monday School rooms TIRED—RUN DOWN?

Spring in the Air The fine weather we have had this last few days is welcome indeed and reminds us that Spring is just around the corner. Saturday, March 21st, is the official opening of Spring but fine days before that are very welcome, especially after the long continued stormy weather we had this year. The sun is getting higher each day and the days longer, in fact it is close to the time when one has to decide what to plant in the garden this year. 11 Months Deficit Very Large Despite the fact that Canada will have a surplus of $20,000,000 in or­ dinary accounts, the picture does not look so bright as the total deficit for the eleven months ending February will be $100,000,000, made up as fol­ lows: railway deficit $45,000,000 and over $70,000,000 spent on unemploy­ ment relief. Ordinary revenues for this period was $337,000,000, an ih- crease of $15,000,000. Expenditures Were $310,000,000, a decrease of $7,- 000,000. GOSPEL MEETINGS 3 p.m. Sunday, Matt. 13:33.
