The Wingham Hurons captured the first game of the group finals by beating the Port Elgin Lakesides at the Town Park here Monday by a 11- 7 score. Despite the short notice on which the game was called a very good crowd was on hand to see a game in which the batters were most promineift. None of three Port El gin pitchers was very puzzling, while the Ports combed Hal Peterson for thirteen safeties, mostly in the first four inning in which time they col lected ten, These, along with some errors were good for six runs. Bob Chalmers was the hitting star of the game with four hits in five tries. Somers had three safeties, in eluding a home-run in the fifth with none on, the ball squeezing through the wire fence in centre field. The blow caused considerable argument from the Port team, but similar drives have always gone as round trippers in former games. Several players had two safeties each but Hal Peterson with, only one safety hit was the hero of the game. Pete’s only safety was a home run over the same wire fence with two mates aboard and gave the Hurons a lead they never relinguish- ed. The drive .came in the seventh and took the starch right out of the visitors. Fielding medals for the day went to the rival second basemen, each making great over-the-s(ioulder cat ches in' short centre field and Fred Mellor suffered his worst day in years with three costly errors, but Fred scored three runs to redeem him self for his fielding losses. Bill Lediet turned in another good game at third with three nice throws. PLAY B.Y PLAY 1st inning Port Elgin—The Ports went in order in the first H. Paddon and Kir.gler rolling out and Becker flying to right. No runs, no hits, no errors. Wingham—Rae struck out. Mellor walked and was sacrifice to second by Somers. Doran got a life when Cot trill dropped Kingler’s throw, stole second and scored lor on Chalmers single, flied to centre. 2 runs, ror. Last week a local rink of bowlers composed of W. C.

The meeting of the Canadian Prime Minister and the President of the United States' typifies and commem orates the relationship between the two great North American peoples for the last hundred years. Since a minor disagreement between some resident of the United States and Canada in 1838, the cftily border in cidents have been those adjustments which have enabled the two peoples to overcome the natural boundary that separates them in the east by creating new channels of communica tion. Today the significant points on the International boundary are -these ar teries of travel and transport. Born of the necessity of neighbourly travel and trade, they are victories over the natural boundary won by the mutual urge of two friendly and similar peo ples. Most important of these links be tween Canada and the United States will probably be the Thousand Is lands Bridge. As the point of ent rance into Canada nearest to New York City the bridge has a strategic location. Within one day's drive of the bridge, or Within a radius of 300 miles, is probably the most important concentration of population on the continent. Here is located one-third of the population of Canada and one- fourth --of the population of the Unit ed States. The Thousand Islands Bridge is really a series of five bridge leaping from, shore to islands and across three intermediate channels before reaching the shore at the other side. It extends from Ivy Lea, near Gananoque, Ont ario, to Collins Landing, Jefferson County, N.Y. Three of the five com ponent bridges are entirely on Can adian soil; the fourth crosses the In ternational boundary in the channel between La Rue Island, in Canada, and Wells Island, in the United Stat es. The final span crosses from Wells Island to Collins Landing, in Rew York State, UgrissT Leaps From Truck F /Wh-orse, owned by Fred Thomp son, Teeswater, became excited while being driven in a transport, leaping over a seven-foot rack onto the cab of the truck as ing down hill, onto the hood, injured.

Several of his viol ins, made from bird’s-eye maple, that was grown and seasoned for over 75 years, have been considered as valu able. Always handy with tools, he made and built an entire house on his. farm in Morris Township. Mr. and Mrs. Neil N.
