WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES INDIANS DROP ONE TO THE CARDINALS Paisley Win Close Game by 3-1 Score The fans who went to Paisley on Friday night saw a very different brand of hockey than the game here with Hanover. The Indians did not combine the way they usually do and '‘■.appeared to be at sea on the small ice surface. The. style of hockey the Car- >dinals play is almost perfect for the small ice space. The checking was very close' and’ this combined with •sticky ice made it very difficult to play •a good passing game. However, the Indians made it very close and as this ■is their first- loss of the season the Fans should be pleased that we are on ■ -top of the heap. In the dying seconds of the game Coach Alf Lockridge -.pulled Struke and used all forwards. It was on this play that Cordick got the last goal but the Indians were making it hot when he got the break- ‘ .away. One goal was in the. net past Kell­ eher in the last period but Tory Gregg used the goal crease rule and did not allow it. It would have tied the score. If Paisley and the Indians meet in the play-offs it will be a series worth go­ ing miles to see. English drew a penalty at the'five minute mark of the first period and the Cardinals stormed the Indians’ de­ fence area. A half minute before Eng­ lish got back, Cordick beat Struke from close in on Dudgeon’s pass. This goal inspired the Paisley crew and. for a few minutes they went like mad and were rewarded when Fenton scored from Worthington. Two minutes after this “Bony" Foster scored a nice one with Elliott and Nichol as­ sisting.

WestEtti count in the game except for Cordick’s “no opposition" goal with two sec­ onds to go. The ice got sticky about this time and the players found it difficult to handle the puck. At that both sides lost splendid chances to score. Foster was sent off for tripping in the sec­ ond but the Indians held the fort. He was just back on when Paddon, was sent to the cooler. The Indians tried desperately to get the tying goal but the Cardinals were successful in shoot­ ing;. the puck down the ice in rapid succession. The Cardinals had two penalties in the final stanza. The first one went to Grant at the 13-minute mark, The Indians made it hot but could not beat Kelleher. With 45 seconds to go Pad­ don was banished and it was then that „Coach Lockridge pulled Struke and played all up in an effort to tie it up. It pretty nearly worked and Cordick’s goal really did not mean a thing as there was just two seconds to go when he got away. At that .he missed the open, net and scored on the rebound.

They cannot say that any more as the Indians romped away an 8-6 winner Monday night before 1215 roaring fans. This is the club’s eighth win and they are secure on top of the group. The fans are now sitting back waiting for the group play-offs, Lucknow started off ns if they meant busirfess- and tested Strttke a few times, George Johnson mis'sed an open net and for a few minutes it was ding dong. The game livened ttp after Fisher scored for Lucknow- Shortly after Greer tripped Johnson and when he was off Foster scored on a combin­ ation play. The Indians added another in less than a minute, Cy Proctor banging it In, Johnson beat Matheson after a beautiful lone rush to put the Indians ttp Lucknow fought fife tigers to open the second stanza and in three min­ utes Babe Book scored. D. Proctor boarded Sutherland and just as he re­ turned to play Fisher evened the count. This was a signal for the Ind­ ians to go to work and in the last ten minutes of this period they tallied twice. The one goal by Foster was a combination play and the other one was the prettiest goal of the night. Cy Proctor got the puck at his blue line, dodged two men, went around Barton, drew Matheson out and plunked it in. For over half the third period the play was up and down the ice. Both sides missed swell chances. Johnson got his second goal on a pass from Cy Proctor, and m less than two min­ utes the Indians put three behind Matheson. Cy Proctor and Foster were, the other marksmen. There was less than two minutes to go when the Sepoys put on the pressure and beat Struke for three nice ones. Barton scored on a lone rush, then Greer scor­ ed twice, both times from B. Book. • Lucknow: goal, Matheson; def., C. Thompson, G. Book; centre, B.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “LOADING HOGS*’ The road was slippery and greasy and the trucker was a great hand for expressing his “blankety-blank" feel­ ings at all the “blankety-blank” hogs in the world. He raved on and worked on and finally managed to get backed up to the door so that the chute could be fastened to the- back of the truck and the balky pigs driven in. Yes, in spite of what may have been said in the past few weeks I had a load of hogs to s’ell. I didn’t stop to figure up what they cost me. It al­ ways seems to me that money in the pocket shouldn’t be spoiled by a long row of figures that prove you have lost money during the six months that you have been satisfying’ the hunger of nine hogs. For the life of me I can’t imagine anything harder to handle than hogs on a slippery day . . . when there’s a skiff of snow in the air . . . that soft, slewing kind of snow that’s more dangerous than even a glare of ice. Farmers haxe experimented in many ways as to the proper way to handle hogs. It’s a matter of grab and hoist and pull and jerk and yank and, with this particular trucker, singe their hides with words reminiscent of sul­ phur and zlue blazes. After all' what have the hogs got to complain about ... -or to be so ob­ stinate about? Think back to the days when a hog was the garbage pail of the farm. What couldn’t be used up in any other way was poured into the hog. It didn’t matter if the hog mat­ ured in anything from nine months to fourteen months. What he consumed wars low in value and the fatter he was the more money you made from him. Back in those days posture wasn’t considered in the building of a hog. You plied him with scraps, swill and anything handy until you approached the time when “he should be fattened for market and then he was literally stuffed. A.pig ready for market on our con­ cession was a swaying, puffing little mountain of fat. His backbone did its best but his stomach usually managed to trail on the ground. Quality didn't enter into the picture ... it was a simple and pure case of the fatter the better. ■ Think of today and the streamlined chassis of a hog ready for market.

The personal envoy of President Roosevelt broke his official silence in an address to an air raid precautions group on Jan. 17, What he said was not revealed. transported by truck to the nearest market. He gets the best feed, a clean, sanitary place to live in and a ride in a truck. His ancestors were content with pickings and a laborious ride in a wagon or a sleigh to the nearest sta­ tion. Sometimes they were starced for two days previous to market day and then filled to bursting with a “heavy” form of feed, 011 the day they were to be sold. This method was usually em­ ployed when one of the neighbours bought the hogs, it being quite a sport back in those days to put it over your neighbour so that he couldn’t make too much profit out of you. Hogs are still ornery. They still crowd back in the corner of the pen. They still manage to bump you and. jerk free, racing you down the slippery chute-to the pen. Of course, the race by -the pigs on, all fours is a much more graceful thing than the race by the farmer on hands and feet. Pigs will be pigs and I suppose that if the day comes when pigs are kept in air-conditions pens with chefs cat­ ering to them with special meals, they will still be as cantankerous as ever on loading day. BELGRAVE School Fair Annual The annual meeting of the Belgrave School Fair was- held on Friday after­ noon with J. S. .Procter, the president, in charge. The minutes of- the previ­ ous meeting were adopted and the Treasurer’s report showed a balance of $59 on hand. Mr. J. C. Shearer was present and in a short address con­ gratulated the officers in the success of the Fair which was the largest in the county, over 1300 entries. He also promised to help in any way he could at any time in the work. He also spoke on the Federation of Agricul­ ture and the Radio Forum conducted by the Canadian Association for Adult Education through CBL on Tuesday evening at 9 o’clock and said that both these questions were being discussed with a great deal of interest through­ out the country. It was decided to carry on the School Fair in 1941. Mr. Shearer was asked to conduct the elec­ tion of officers which resulted as fol­ lows:-President, J. S. Procter; Vice Pres., Mrs. J.

United Church Held Annual The annual meeting of Knox United Church was held in the basement of the church on Tuesday evening* A pot luck supper was served at LOO o’clock to about sixty members and adherents with the business of the meeting fol­ lowing. Rev. J. B. Townend acted as chairman and Norman Keating secre­ tary for the meeting. The annual re­ ports had -been distributed and the various phases of the work of the church were discussed. The treasur­ ers of the different organizations were all able to show a balance of cash on hand pointing to the conclusion of a successful year. During the year the young people had presented a very successful play in Belgrave and in sev­ eral other places. The Woman’s As­ sociation also had been busy raising money by the Garden Party, Fowl Spuper and holiday bells. They had the pulpit and chairs re-finished, had some redecorating done in the manse and church, also,music for choir, and a large donation to the Board of Stew­ ards. The Women’s Missionary Soc­ iety had reached its allocation during the year. The mission band work was reported by Florence Cook and Aud­ rey McGuire and showed that this group had been active and raised funds by a tea and selling Christmas cards. The Sunday School, under the leadership of Goldie Wheeler, Supt., also had a successful year and a num­ ber will receive awards for attendance It was decided to hold the annual meeting in the evening with a supper next year, as this year.

Lo­ gan was also re-elected as were the plate collectors and auditors. Several items of business were discussed and a very successful meeting brought to a close with the benediction by Rev, J. B. Townend. Mrs. Earle Anderson with her mo­ ther. Mrs. Young, at Westport. “She says. she’s v—bu t.. WHAT FRANCE MUST PAY Toll Exceeds Half National Income, Twice France’s Whole War Budget By A Special Correspondent The cost of maintaining the German troops occupying France has to be paid by France at the rate of 20 mil­ lion marks a day. This sum was fixed by Article 18 of the Franco-German armistice terms reported on June 24, 1940. At the rate of exchange of’ Fr. 20 to Rm,. 1, fixed by the Armistice Com­ mission, this amounts to Fr. 146 mil­ liard a year. But the whole French pre-war na­ tional income — that is, the total of personal incomes — did not exceed Fr. 290 milliard. This means that the Germans are demanding under this head practically 50% of France’s pre-war national in­ come. In view of the inevitable re­ duction of this income by the disasters of war, the real proportion is higher. The cost to Germany of the Allied armies of occupation after the last way was less than 1% of her national in­ come. The French budget for 1939 was Fr. 66 milliard, and the first war bud­ get was Fr. 79 milliard. The sum de­ manded by the Germans is thus near­ ly twice the total war budget, and more than twice the normal peace­ budget of France. The cost to Germany of the Allied armies of occupation was less 7% of her 1913 budget, and just 3% of her 1924 budget. than over Chinese Philosophy You want credit; Me no give.
