Forest ” 30—Wingham at Arthur Feb. 1—Mildmay at Wihgham ” -3—Wingham at Listowel ” 13—-Listowel at Wingham CURLING BRIEFS and Bill Bain was very busy keeping the machines running smooth and skipping the Artful Dodgers. 0-0-0 Best shot of spiel; Elmer Ireland's take out and lay to defeat Art’s rink in an extra end. 0-0-0 Coming events—Round Robin play­ offs and Boxing Day Bonspiel. The shouting and the sweeping dies, the competitors from distant points have departed. The 7th annual bon- spiel is over, but there still remains two trophies and several very tired curlers. 0-0-0 For the first time a Wingham rink won the Western Foundry Trophy. Omar Haselgrove’s rink of Cy Scott, Parky Parkinson, Wally Haselgrove assisted by Alex MacDonald, won five straight garties and proved unbeatable. R. J. Morrison and his Walkerton rink, a post entry were runners up. 0-0-0 Dr. Hetherington's rink from Bram­ pton finally succeeded after trying for seven years and won the Fred David­ son Trophy in an extra end over Monty Munroe’s strong Walkerton rink. 0-0-0 Dr. Irwin’s rink, including Jim Carr, Tommy Thomson and Bill Currie, defeated the Western Foundry rink skipped by qMurray Rae, and includ­ ing Casey Casemore, Jack Lloyd and T. A. Currie, in the final game and won the Alex Crawford Trophy. 0-0-0 The consolation event was won by Bill Tiffin’s rink of David Crompton, Harold Thomas and Don Nasmith. They defeated a Galt rink skipped by Alex Smith in the finals. 0-0-0 Jim Murray was in charge of the bonsplel and deserves a lot of credit for its success. He was ably assisted by John Raby, the expert coffee mak­ er and Tiny Edwards, the drawmaster. 0-0-0 As usual Casey and Fraser provided perfect ice. Gord kept the boys warm JUVENILES WIN FIRST WITH KINCARDINE 7-6 Wingham Juveniles eked out a 7-6 victory over Kincardine at the Wing­ ham arena on Friday, to win the first game of the 1955-56 season, but it was a close squeak. The locals notched two in the first frame, with Kincardine doing like­ wise. In the second perio.d the Wing­ ham boys were outscored four to one as Kincardine went on a scoring spree to put them ahead 6-3 going into the final stanza. In the third period rookie Barry Fry tallied twice, to put the locals within shouting distance, and in the dying minutes of the game Kenny Hodgkinson poked one home to tie up the game. The winning goal came from tlie stick of Jimmy Campbell, with about half a minute to play. Ken Hodgkinson, fresh from the St. Mike’s Buzzers, pulled the hat trick for Wingham, with Barry Fry getting two and Jim Campbell and Doug Murray each getting a single. Assists went to Campbell (3), Murray (2), Foster and Hodginson. Smith, Hedley and Gottscholk were the scorers for Kincardine. WINGHAM—Goal, Storey; defence, Tyreman, Carter; centre, Campbell; wings, Hodgkinson, Murray; subs, Struthers, Fry, Foster, Bain, Gray, Stuckey, Houghton, Jardine; sub goal, Dennis. KINCARDINE—Goal, Teskey; de­ fence, Hedley, Scott; centre, Gott­ scholk; wings, Baker, Goodwin; subs, McLean, Murray, Kincaid, Fenton.

On Parade! by 'Windy" The RHQ and 99th Battery of the 21st Field Regiment RCA(M) held their regular, training night on Mon­ day and attendance was not at its peak due to the Meaford Scheme on the week-end, when attendance was very good even though the weather was against us all the way. Never­ theless, through mud and rain we made the best of it and everyone lived through it. 0-0-0 As for the Meaford "do” there was about 100 bodies out and everyone seemed to have a real outing. It was really damp and cold, a lot like it was overseas except that, we knew we were not far from home. There were some new experiences to be told from the “do”, such as driving the new trucks on icy roads. You know those things slide as much as cars do, ask Gunners "Mike" Willie and "Cookie" Cruickshank. 0-0-0 As for Monday night, the gun shed seemed empty for awhile and there was about ten men out there, but we found them locked in the screened-in portion at the end of the shed, com­ plete with sign saying "Please do not feed the animals.” There was a lot of confusion till WO2 "Buck” Sinna- mon found the key and let them out. o-o-o The signal section was busy check­ ing the wire used for the field tele­ phones. It seems that the wire that was taken to Meaford had a large number of breaks in it and the sig-1 nailers spent a lot of time repairing it. After walking four or five miles repairing and checking it, they decid­ ed to check it all again for the next time we go up. I told the boys to have all the sets working and be on their toes or they would be on their feet all day (being chased all over the range by the officer in charge). 0 - 0 - »• 1 • The MT section spent the evening in the little room across the road, in! lecture all evening instructed by Bdr. “Pop" Arthur. The subject was on the engine carburetor, known as the mixing bowl. We should have good mechanics (or is it maniacs?) after this course is over. The only thing that bothers the boys is that they learn things one night and the next night tear their cars apart and have to wait till the next Monday night to learn how to put them back to­ gether again. One consolation, it saves gas. 0-0-u The QM stores was a very cheerful place all evening, Sgt. “Specks” Daw­ son acquired a car radio and had it playing. Someone suggested that he install it in his truck, but he said the four-wheeled conveyance made so much noise he wouldn’t be able to hear the radio. Maybe he should jack the radio up and drive a car under it. Like the tramp who had a button in his hand and knocked on a door. When the lady of the house answered he said, “Lady, will you sew a shirt on this button?’’ 0 - 0 - 0 This is all for this week, folks. Sorry I missed last week but there was a very important inspection on all last week. But as a closing item I wonder if Sgt. Bill Wells ever found that fellow he was looking for at Meaford. It seems he received a note signed "anonymous” only he said his name was “A. Nonny Moose.” So long.
