HAMILTON, OPTOMETRIST “A Complete Visual Analysis” I On Tuesday, October 26, the rugby team representing W.D.H.S. journey ed to Seaforth to play a scheduled game with the Seaforth team. It was a very close game but Wing ham ended up on top of a 6-6 tie (sounds good eh?), In the first quarter Wingham. scor ed a point on a rouge. The second quarter was scoreless for both teams. The third quarter saw the Seaforth team entering the scoring with a touchdown but the convert failed. In the fourth quarter Wingham moved up field and Neil Stainton threw a’ pass to Danny Stuckey for a touch down. Unfortunately our convert was unsuccessful. With about one minute to play Seaforth scored a point on a rouge thus ending the score in a 6-6 deadlock. Bruce Robertson 0-0-0 Sale Day The bargain counter was' a scene of wildest confusion. The three sales girls, surrounded by the noisy pack of clawing, shoving women, ran hel ter-skelter in a vain attempt to serve “the greatest number of people in the- shortest possible time.” Every where confusion reigned, as normally well-behaved human beings became transferred into beasts. Cash register bells ground on and on, ^failing to make any impression on the noise which prevailed in the department store basement. Articles which had been arranged in neat rows and piles, before the store opened, now lay in a disordered tangle, becoming evermore jumbled as hundreds of hands hand led and discarded, mauled and tested, wrinkled and tore each and every item. Now and then a frustrated fe male unfroze herself from the mob and scurried away, seeming very proud that she had saved three or four cents on an article for which she had no earthly use, Gradually, as time wore on, the stacks of merchan dise shrank, and suddenly it wa,s all over. Everything was quiet and order ly again. Tired employees’ gathered up stray items and placed them in proper rows. The five o’clock whistle blew.

ReTMMoEk‘a|Steel Company to 'Build New Plant left school or H. G. Hilton, president of the Steel Company of Canada Limited, has in formed the shareholders of that com pany that a new and improved con tinuous galvanizing plant in Hamil ton will cost $8,000,000. It will deliver sheet steel, galvanized on both sides, completely) finished and ready for shipment at the rate of 200 feet per minute. The widths will be up to four feet and the diversified market will be better supplied than it* ever has ‘ . Production will begin Smith^is inex*- year, some time after July 1st. The-farmers of Canada are among I users of galvanized metal, but during the war and sub- 'sequently there was a serious short age and it is expected that the new plant will be fully utilized, especially in view of the growing population.

President Bob Johnston gave a re port on the work of the executive during the year. Two members of ’the Department of Lands and For ests, David Cantelon, of Hespeler, and Roy Ducharme, of Maple, were on hand to answer questions and give opinions and advice. It was decided to encourage the planting of wild rice and wild celery seed in low lying sections of the county, and along river banks, to encourage wild birds to feed there, and so increase hunting possibilities. Seed would be obtained and dis tributed free to any members inter ested, if it was possible to obtain it. Mr. Cantelon suggested that wild celery was easier to grow, that the department had had better success with it than the wild rice, and it would grow better in the areas where stagnant water stood, while the wild rice had to be planted in better situ ations. Several of the members reported success already growing the rice in their sections of the county. S. J. Daly, representing the Assoc iation for Humane Trapping, gave a demonstration of the human killer trap, which has been used effectively in the north. The feeling of the meet ing was that these traps were not practical for the kind of trapping one in Huron County. Mr. Daly ex tended an invitation to the Huron County Association to join the Ont ario Trappers’ Association. . The prize for the trapper coming the longest way went to Lawrence Beckett, of Woodham. Winners in the semi-annual meeting draw were, Bill Snell, of Exeter, fur stretchers; Earl Doucette, Clinton, a hunting knife; Norman Aid winkle, of Varna, a trap; and Keith Cox, secretary-treasurer of the association, won a box of shells. The draw for the rifle was won Mrs. William Hill, of Clinton.

Saturday, November 27th ■ Crop Report by G. W. Montgomery Some progress was made during the early part of the week with silo filling and the harvesting of turnips and sugar beets. However, rain and snow the last three days of the week have again retarded harvesting op erations. Some of the lower fields need at least ten days of fine, dry weather before machines can be taken on the field. The average on the thirty-two (32) head sold at the Perth-Huron Shorthorn Sale was two hundred and twenty-seven dollars ($227.00), while the average on a similar number of cattle at the 1953 sale was three hundred and one dol lars ($301.00). Ninety western steer calves were distributed on Saturday to the members of the Hensall Feeder Calf Club.

The board, meeting in Woodbridge 14 miles north of Toronto, decided ask the conservation authority construct five flood-control dams the watershed. Cost $12,500,000 The dams would be at Nashville and Cedar Mills on the main branch of the stream, at Pinegrove and Kleinburg’ on the east branch, and at Clairville on the west branch. Total cost would be around $12,500,000. to to in When Service is Required on your Lighter or Pipe •end it to CAMERON’S BILLIARDS WINGHAM ONTARIO Warren House Furnishings Pattison Electric G. N.
