THE PLAYOFF TRAIL ;
The Wingham Towne Hallers, a “C” club in an otherwise
group, are, the biggest surprise of the local hockey season. When the season
started the other clubs were willing to make a few concessions to insure
good competition as far as Wingham was concerned. With a former affilia
tion with the Guelph Biltmorps, which didn’t pan out because Alfie Pike’s
crew had enough manpower troubles of their own, they switched to Hap
Emms and the Barrie Flyers, and the association has been more than fruit
ful. The Towne Hallers find themselves in third place as the schedule goes
down to the playoff wire, and another job has fallen to the lot of the Wing
ham kids.
The way the schedule finishes, Wingham will have the final say-so on
whether the London Lou Balls or the Chatham Shermans make the fourth
play-off spot. At present the Lou Balls are in the driver’s seat, one point
ahead of the Shermans, but Chatham has one game in hand, and. that’s
where Wingham comes in. The Towne Hallers play in London this Saturday
night, and Chatham plays back here next Monday. Chatham also has a mid
week contest with the unbeatable Seaforth Baldwins, so you can write that
one off. A Wingham win over Lon
don, and a loss to Chatham would put
the Shermans in the playoffs, one
point ahead of the Lou Balls. Despite
this, we’ll have to go along with the
Lou Balls, if -only on their more con
sistent play in the latter stages of the
schedule. And, the Lou Balls still
have that one point edge despite
lacking the extra game Chatham has.
That one point could tell the tale.
0-0-0
Local fans are wondering about
Wingham’s chances against Seaforth
as the Towne Hallers hold down the
unenviable third spot and they’ll fin
ish that way. The Towne Hallers will
go into the “C” playdowns after com
ing out of- this group, so there’s plen
ty of hockey left of the junior variety
for the local fans.

Controversial TOMMY WILSON is
getting his big chance. “HAP”
EMMS, mentor of the BARRIE FLY-
ers of the Junior OHA, made good a
rumor that has been going around for
a few days. He’s going to bring up
Wilson for a shot at “A" hockey.
Tommy plays Wednesday night’s
game in Barrie against Quebec. How
ever, according to latest reports, Wil
son should be back for Saturday
night’s tilt in London . . . The
same “Hap” Emms was very pleased
with the performance of the Wing
ham Midget line in last week’s exhi
bition with the Flyers. KEN HODG
KINSON, JIMMY CAMPBELL and
DOUG MURRAY took the fancy of
the Barrie coach. That wasn’t the
reason that Emms re-affirmed his de
cision to continue the affiliation with
the Wingham club? . . . . JER
RY FRY, a better than average twir-
ler, besides a rear-view mirror de
fenseman, is looking ahead to the
baseball season. Jerry pitched for the
LONDON MIDGETS last summer,
and is still undecided where he’ll do
his hurling in ’54. A good bet would
be right back in London, although he
has another offer closer to home.

The Gorrie Intermediates, who have
long been a drawing card in the
Wingham Arena, have the Wingham
ice surface pretty much to themselves
this week as they open their WOAA
playoffs with Neustadt. The first
game of the group finals will be play
ed in Clifford Thursday night this
week and then Gorrie plays at home
in Wingham Saturday night. On the
season’s play Henry Lantz’s Neustadt
crew would, at first glance, appear to
be the favorites. However, Gorrie has
shown signs of resurgence, and it
could be Gorrie when the smoke
clears.

The Wingham Midgets, who lost a
protest decision against Goderich
Lions Midgets last week for using an

in this set haven’t been decided yet,
but they’ll be played on Wingham ice.
The teams will decide after Thurs
day’s game.

out of the cellar and moved into a
playoff spot last week when they
set the Wingham Towne Hallers
in an OHA Junior “B” fixture at
Queen’s Park Arena, London,

The London squad, who had troun
ced the powerful Sarnia Junior Sail
ors the week before, showed improved
teamwork against the third place
Towne Hallers, to edge ahead of the
Chatham Sherman Admirals in the
race for the playoffs. Harold Mc-
Ainch, who played a stellar role in
the London nets, was largely instru
mental for the victory.
For the winners Ron Bourne was
credited with three tallies and two
assists, while Mac Granville got one
goal and five assists. Lamport got
’ two and Quirie and Blackwell notched
singletons.
For Wingham Neil Stainton, Tommy

shooters.

GRANDMA-WAS RIGHT
Grandma was a great believer in
the Staff of Life. And because
she liked her bread fresh, whole
some and flavorful, she baked it
herself.
Baking bread is quite a chore,
and not many people find time to
do it nowadays. But that’s no
reason why you have to put up
with tasteless “factory” bread-
adulterated with chemicals to keep
it “fresh”. x
MacIntyre’s loaves have that
truly fresh, ■ home-made flavor you
used to get in Grandma’s kitchen.
Try a loaf when it comes hot out
of the oven, and you’ll know how
right Gmama was !

Yes, Junior scored a bulls-eye all right... right on your pocketbook.
You won’t be called on to replace it yourself; but as a citizen of
Ontario and one of the owners of Hydro, you pay for the damage
in the long run.
Actually, the insulators themselves are comparatively inexpensive.
But the damage that can result from a broken insulator can cause.
serious power interruptions by cutting service on that line.
Hospitals may be deprived of power at a critical moment. Machines
in factories may be stopped. Homes and farms may be affected,
too. There is the added hazard of fire and if the wirfTfalls to the
ground, property and lives are endangered.
When an insulator is smashed, a crew of men and a truck travel miles
to locate and repair the damage . *, and that costs money. Hydro
appeals to you to help to prevent the deliberate or Careless destruc
tion of Hydro property ... your Hydro property.
