BROTHER THIS IS TOPS!' What would you like to see this Saturday? Teams scoring goals, runs or making touchdowns? It really doesn't matter what sport interests you most because all three -hockey. football and baseball -- will be featured throughout the day on television networks. In the afternoon, the Yankees and Braves will be in the midst of their world series classic while football teams across the country will be trying to score touchdowns. Last but not least, the magic living room machine will carry the National Hockey League all-star game from Montreal in which the champion Les Canadiens will tackle the other weaklings. Brother, if you're not a sports fan, you'd bet- ter take the wife out to the show instead of switching on the TV set on October 4. The world series. the greatest fall classic of them all, will undoubtedly be the choice of the major- ity to witness. Once again the Milwaukee Braves and New York Yankees will be battling it out for the extra series loot. Who did you say won last year? Please don't remind us! We feel this year the tide will turn with the Stengel masterminds winning it all in no more than ex games, Despite, the fact that Fred Haney has two pitchers in Spahn and Burdette for mound duty, we must still go along with the Bronx Bombers. Reasons for our stubbornness? Mantle and Skowrori are able to walk this year. Turley is enjoy- ing his best season in a Yankee uniform (21-7 fellas)! The Yanks are stronger down the centre defensively. The added attraction of Ryan Duren is a bombshell and the New York club is better balanced in the hit- ting department. Six games arid Ws all over, sn get set for the shock, you Milwaukee rooters! Someone asked us what happens if our prediction turns out to be wrong. The answer is simple. We're leaving town with Gerry Smith, Bill Musser, Jack Fuller and Verne Smith and root for the Tigers! * * * * * * LUMBER KINGS ON THE MARCH Still on baseball, Zurich Lumber Kings have reached the Ontario finals for the third straight year. In what one might call a "little world series", the Lumber Kings will be playing host to Latta in the first game of the Ontario Int. "C" finals in Zurich on Saturday. Despite lengthy layoffs, coach Tom Rawlings has done well keeping his team primed for the playoff. Last weekend they polished off Caledonia to take that series two straight and we sincerely hope that they can do the same in this. Latta will not be any soft touch from what we can gather, but from the way Zurich has been playing lately, neither will they. It should prove to be a bang-up series before it's over. We got quite a kick out of last Saturday's con- test and some of the happenings that took place on the bench. In sport it takes every man on the club to win a championship, ' whether he's playing reg- . ular or just filling in. The Zurich club has a colorful player by the name of Benny Gignac and we feel the team is very fortunate to have him. No fellas, Benny hasn't slipped us a ten spot to write this, but whether anyone realizes it or not, he does a lot to keep the club rolling. . Although he seldom gets into a game himself, Benny is full of laughs. They say you always need a joker on the club, so he's Zurich's. He helps keep the boys loose. When he coaches on • third, everyone in the park can hear him strain Ben Gignac through the episodes of the game. A happy-go- lucky type, Benny is continually talking to someone including the opposition. The last game he drilled into the Caledonia third baseman that he himself, Ur. Benny Gignac, swatted 272 homers, 34 doubles and 19 triples in last year's action. Oh yes, I almost forgot about the three drag bunts he beat out. When asked what was the trouble this year, Ben replied: "Just can't seem to find my bat!".. Send this boy to Stengel, Tom, they may need him! . In the game itself, the Caledor.ia manager made a complete farce of the whole issue as far as we were concerned. He started off by using three pitchers in the first inning, which wasn't ne'cessary. And then when he asked the umpires to show their OBA cards in the seventh inning. that topped it all. Another thing that put us sour on the.„ Caledonia club was when Doug O'Brien made a clean theft of home plate. The Caledonia manager trotted over to the Zurich dugout and stated, "hate to lose like that!" If he had any fight in him he would have got his club fighting mad and made a game out of it Since. it was only the seventh inning. Oh well, that's the way the game goes. Some managers, such as Torn Rawlings, are really interested in winning and keep on their toes throughout the contest, while others just go along for the ride. * * * * AI dc CUFF CLEANERS --Congratulations are in store for Jean McGregor of R.R. 5 Clinton who won the 8100 draw at the Zurich ball game . Wedding bells Will be ringing in the Kitchener- district this Friday when: Larry Heideman makes the march down the BiSit. After this, the lanky centreman should be good for at least 29 more goals than he scored last year! Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget hall players are asked to turn their uniforms and all trophies won over the season in to the Exeter arena as soon „a' possible . , Watch for Elateri Howard in the world Series. "Lily" Should be good for at least two hits a garnet . . Caledonia wasn't near the club Mitchell Legionnaires Were in the regular season.

The second game of the series will shift back to Latta October 11. Latta is situated 12 miles north of Belleville on Highway 37. The town itself is between Belleville and Tweed. When Playing Coach Tem Rawlings leads his Lumber Kings against Latta on'SaturdaY.: it will mark the third consecti- tire year that the Zurich hall club has reached the Ontario finals. Latta Showed They Had It! From all reports down Latta way, the visitors aren't going to be any pushovers for the Zur- ich nine. The South Hastings ; League club ended second in their regular sate:little and then survived an elimination series for the group title after playing against Foxborough, Shannon- ville, Canniston and Read. From there, the Latta club was strengthened by all-stars from the entire league in their march for the Ontario honours. Actually, the only club Latta has eliminated in OBA play is Orono. Ontario champions of the 1957 season. But they did it the hard way by showing plenty of power, In a best -of -three series with Orono, the defending champions pounded out a lopsided is. vie- ory o go one game up: In the second, Orono led 6-3 in the ninth inning, but Latta bounced back with a walk and three suc- cessive hits to pull a big win out of the fire by a 7-6 score and tie up the series. In the final game of the best - of three affair Latta racked up a 7-2 win. Previous to the Orono -Latta Golf Champs 'Man.

Stan Reid is the club's south- paw while Art Wright, who did ' some pitching in 0.13A. senior ,K hall, is the club's strong right- r bancter The team will be missing one of its pitchers for at /east one game as he took off to see -the Yankees and Braves in the World Series. Other players on the pitching staff include two reliefers but, according to Dr. Empson, they're nothing to fear. Kings Would Like This on. Zurich Lumber Kings certain - ly shouldn't underestimate Tie Latta club. Praetirally one year ago this week, the Ki,gs led the Caledonia nine 3-1 in a best -of - seven series and wound up an the short end of the rope. Let's hope that the Zurich club gives this one all they have all the series, Orono had knocked off way through the series. Best of Waterdown, luck fellasl Latth Club Mediocre? • Could the Latta ball club be a mediocre one? According to Dr, D. J. Empson, a director of the team, Latta hasn't a good ball team, "Zurich will probably beat the Tribe's Future Looks Bright Future of Exeter Mohawks is undoubtedly the brightest it's been at; this time in several years. Selling of Mohawk shares to the public is rolling in high gear and before the week is out, it is hoped that 90 or more names will be placed on the team's share sheet to help cover the costs of operation throughout he 1958-59 season. Monday, October 6, the sec- ond meeting of the season will he held in the town hall at 8:00 p.m. and it is hoped that more than the 25 thatturned out to•the first meeting will be on. hand. If the committee of four, which includes Arnie Lindenfield, "Bud" Preszcator, Charlie Acheson and "Boom" Gravel, can produce at least 40 names, then it's expected the hockey enthusiasts will nom- inate an executive to run the club through the fdrthcoming season.

Grand Bend Wednesday afternoon last week. The weather was ideal and there was a good turnout. The members met at Lion Bill McKenzie's summer cottage and for those not interested in golf, euchre, cribbage and checker tournaments were manged. There were prizes for all and a smorgasbord iuncheon was pro- vided. Top winners of the day were: golf, Claude Farrow; euchre, Ilerman Dettmer and Russell Snell; cribbage, Dick Jermyn, and checkers, Russ Hopper. Area Marksmen Turkey Winners A turkey shoot sponsored by the Exeter Gun Club and held at the Kippen range last Sunday turned out highly successful as snipers performed in one of the most competitive shoots put on by the local club this year. Clarke Parkinson of London copped high honours :nd took home two turkeys when he nailed 43 out of the 50 birds he fired at. John Anderson of Hensel' also won two birds when he placed second in the event with a count of 92. Two gobblers were won by Bill MacLean of Exeter who hit 41 for third spot.

It came as an accidental shot- gun blast that blinded Mary van der Vloet for life, and it dashed' away the hopes and dreams that only a 17 -year-old girl can have. But Mary, now 23, had the courage to overcome her despair, and the ability to conquer diffi- cult obstacles. Last Monday, this young woman arrived at the CNJB Sudbury office to begin duties as a home teacher in that district. Life had not made it easy for Mary, She had arrived in Canada from Holland only months before the tragic accident. Her knowl- edgeof English aod her acquaint- ance with Canadian customs was limited. But she began to attend the Ontario School for the Blind at Brantford and it was only a few months before determination and courage gave her a mastery of English, Braille, typing and aca- demic work that other students found hard to match. Choosing a career was not a difficult decision. Before attend- ing the school for the blind, Mary received concentrated instruction from Miss Amy Lammie, CNIB home teacher in the London dis- trict, "I think I wanted to be a home teacher myself ever since then," Miss van der Vloet said. "Now I m teaching the same things that I myself learned just a few years ago." Mary's work is one of the many services supported by contribu- tions to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. The CNIB is now conducting its annual ap- peal for funds in 'Huron County. Local campaign chairmen are S. B.
