"I needed a new barn roof and I went into
the matter very carefully .The ammalreport
of my mutual insurance company showed
that last year out of 15 fire losses 7 were
caused by flying embers, and 3 by light
ning. I talked to my insurance agent and he
advised a fire-proof roof above aU else so I
decided on metal. Metal protects against
fire and lightning and also against wind,
weather, rot and upkeep.”
I chose Metal and I bought TITE-LAP
"Titp-Lap, to my way of thinking, haa all the best
features in metal roofing. It is rigid, has maximum
provision for nailing, is absolutely weather-tight I
got the Council Standard quality, and the 25 year
guarantee that goes with it. And I was glad to learn
about the new reduction in cost because there’s no
sales tax any more,”

TRULY GREAT PEOPLE
As we write this the King and
Queen are in Vancouver and as. they
travelled across our large country
they were enthusiastically received all
the way. The wonderful receptions
they have enjoyed everywhere, so far
on their trip, shows the loyalty and
devotion, that the people in all parts
of Canada have for the present Ruler
.of our great empire and his lovely
Consort. t
We pride ourselves that we live in
a democratic country and we are
bursting with pride for our democrat
ic King and Queen. The very kindly
and thoughtful things that they have
done, despite their heavy program,
have endeared them the more to the
people of this vast country. The stir
ring tributes that continue at each
place they touch is .proof beyond
doubt that the monarchy is the great
factor that binds the Empire together.
Many are the references that one
could make of their kindly actions and
gestures. Some of these were not
great but went to show that even our
King and Queen can be gracious even
though the incident be a small one.
Their thoughtfulness on many occas
ions, their notice of what one would
think they would.consider trivial, goes
to exemplify what truly great persons
they are.
Many of the people in this district
Saw Their Majesties at Toronto.
Stratford and London next week will
be visited by thousands from this
community who wish to pay homage
to their King and Queen. Their Ma
jesties’ visit has fired the imagination

THERE IS A TIME TO SING
As we were waiting for the cere
mony of the Unveiling of the Mem
orial at Ottawa to commence the Vet
erans behind us were singing old army
songs led by a jovial member of Parr
liament from Western Canada dress
ed in morning clothes. Everyone was
happy, but one in particular objected
to the seats being reserved in the en
closure and to the high silk liats ob
structing the view so he started sing
ing, “God Save the King” to make
the men, remove the hats; We were
amused at his grousing, but when
someone wanted to sing “For He’s A
Jolly Good Fellow” as Their Majes
ties were arriving he wouldn’t stand
for ' it. “It’s not right,” he said,
"George is a jolly good fellow, we
know he’s a jolly good fellow and he
knows that we know he’s a jolly good
fellow, but we know our place and
we must have some dignity at a time
like this.”

$N informal view
OF THEIR MAJESTIES
A King like anyone else, needs ex
ercise and a change from the daily
grind, so after leaving Laurier House
he said he must have some exercise.
The royal car dashed out into the
country and it just happened that Mr.
Grant Deachman * drove along that
road a few minutes later and an offic
er asked him to stop. He turned into
a lan'eway. Their Majesties had stop
ped nearby and the King and some
one with him wer.e clearly seen walk
ing briskly over the fields in the dis
tance smoking a'cigarette and his hair
blowing up in the breeze.
The Queen, wearing dark glasses,
had removed the coat of her -lovely
blue costume and it was lying over
the back seat of the car. She was
walking near by and looking over to-
The Wingham Hurons started their
1939 Bruce League ball season off on
the right foot at Teeswater on the
holiday by defeating the homesters by *
the score of 5-3. A good crowd wit
nessed a.pretty tidy little game in
which the Hurons fielded beautifully
but looked woefully weak at the plate.
The Teeswater club put- up a real
game, outhitting their visitors 11-5,
but several passed balls proved their
undoing.
Bob. Chalmers, besides pitching a
swell game, got two of the Tribe’s
six hits, one of which was very time
ly. While the Teesers nicked him for
eleven hits, Bob kept them well scat
tered and in only one inning, the sev
enth, was he in any trouble. The
home team bunched two singles and
a triple for all three of their runs in
this frame.
The Indian keystone pair, Mellor
and Smith, turned in a great game,
Fred handling nine chances errorless-
ly and Bart eight. Some of Smith’s
plays were very difficult chances. In
fact, the whole Tribe fielded almost
flawlessly, Doran’s error on the first
Teeswater batter being the only mis
cue.
The Hurons opened the scoring
with two in the third, McCammon op
ening with a looping single to left
and went to second on a sort of sac
rifice by Gray. Earl was trying to •
keep his noggin away from a high in
side pitch when the ball hit his bat
and trickled down the first base line.
A rousing single to right by Chalm
ers scored McCammon, Bob taking
second on the throw-in. ‘Tiffin lined
a single to left, Chalmers stopping at
third. With Mellor at-bat, Wiley
pitched one into’ the dirt which got
far enough away to let Chalmers
score. Fred fanned and Somers roll
ed to short.
The Tribe added another in the
fourth, ’Doran driving a hit through
short, stealing second and advancing
to third on Smith’s infield out. Grov
es walked and took second unmolest
ed. Blair took McCammon’s fly in
short left for the second out. Anoth
er passed ball, this time a third strike
to Gray, scored Doran before Weiss
tossed out Chalmers. Two runs in the
sixth completed the Wingham scor
ing, Doran getting a life on Blair’s
error to start things. Smith missed a
steal signal and blissfully proceeded
to wallop the first ball pitched out on
the race track in left for a double,
Manager Doran pulling up at third
with a very nasty look on his. face.
Still another passed ball scored Dick
and put Smith on third from where
he galloped home' on Groves’ long
drive to the left fielder.
The Teesers did all their scoring in
the seventh. Mellor tossed out Blair,
first up' but Bob Thompson, one of the
Kincardine contingent playing with
the Teesers this year, lined a single
to left. Weiss beat" out a bunt for a
hit and both runners scored on Irv.
Flyslop’s triple to right. Hyslop scor
ed. as Chalmers was tossing out
O’Mara and Johnston flied high to
Somers. The Culross Capital threat

ball.season locally by defeating South-'
amp ton 12-4 'at the Town Park Sat
urday. The erstwhile powerful Fisher
men fell easy prey to the Braves who
fattened their batting average consid
erably with sixteen hits. Only a fair
crowd turned out for the opener, the
‘ club having looked for a much larger
turn-out. It was the second straight
for the Indians and kept them on top
of the heap*.
Joe Tiffin did mottnd duty for,the
locals, and while nicked for ten hits
■ was never tn very serious' trouble af
ter the second inning when the visit
ors took a 2-0 lead. Kugler,'the South
hjirler,, proved little of a mystery to
the Braves. As a, whole,“however, the
game proved fairly interesting, .espec
ially to those who like to see the ball
take long and frequent rides..
An error, a double and ‘ a single
gave the Fishermen a two-run start
in the second but the Tribe wiped this
out. completely with a 7-run outburst
in their half of the same frame. Dor
an got a life, on an error .and Smith
then lifted a towering blast high up
into the big elm in dead centre field,
the ball dropping back in and holding
Bart to a double. Groves scored them
both with a Single to left. Miller roll
ed out but’ walks to Gray and .Bill
Tiffin together with a double by Joe
Tiffin and a single by Mellor, scored
three more. Somers fanned but Dor
an, up for the second time, singled
scoring two more.
The Elurons added two more-in the
sixth, Joe Tiffin starting with a single
t(V; right and moving up one on lus
brother’s sacrifice. Mellor fanned but
Somers hoisted a double to left scor
ing Joe and then scored himself on
Doran’s second single. A two-base hit
by Groves following by singles by
Miller, Joe Tiffin and Mellor added
two more in the seventh. A triple by
Smith and an error by the shortstop
completed the Hurons’ scoring in the
eighth, ’ \
| An error followed by a home-run
over the centre-field fence by’Kugler,
gave the visitors' their'’final two runs
in the ninth. *
Doran Has Unusual Day
Few people realized it but Dick
Doran, local first basehian, wrote one
for the baseball books oh. Saturday,
When Dick dropped Mellor's toss in
the‘fifth and Fred threw one wide in
the ninth, the big first-sacker unwit
tingly became one of. the few first-
basemen ever to go throughout a nine
inning ball game without a put-out.

Central League Team Won Holiday
Exhibition 9 - 3.
The Central League Baseball Club
got off "o'n the right foot an the holi
day when they took the Clifford nine
into cSmp 9-3, at the Town Park. The
attendance was very small, but those
who were on- hand saw a fair exhibi
tion of ball. When the club founds
into shape and has a few alternates,
they should’ give a good account of
themselves in their league. This lea
gue is playing O.B.A.A. Int. “B” ball
this year.. Only nine men were dress
ed for the locals, so they had to play
the entire game.
Three pitchers were used, each be
ing on the mound three innings. Bill
Grooves started off, Small took the
middle three innings and Fraser the
last three. Only four hits were sec
ured off their offerings, otie each off
Groves and Small and two off Fras
er. These kids should pick up some
valuable experience this year.
