Won Fourth Game Of Series In Overtime To Make It Two Games Each It took -the fast Lucknow Sepoys $ minutes and 31 seconds of overtime on Wednesday night at the arena to pull a win over the Papooses in the fourth game of the playoff series, best 3 out of 5. This win put the Sepoys in a tie with the local juveniles, 2 games each. Wingham won the first two games , the first in. Lucknow. Then- the Lucknow lads came through with two wins to tie it all up. It was a great win for the Sepoys and a hard loss for the local boys. With less than two minutes to got ,the Papooses were leading by a lone tally. Then Ferguson sifted through and notched the tying counter. The Papooses tried very hard but time "was up before they could get a win- ning goal. Early in the first period Loelsridge and Hoffmanodrew penalities but the Sepoys could. not dint the twine. There were some anxious moments however. Lucknow were first to register, With the period a little better than half gone Bill Chin beat McLeod on a play with Treleaven and A. Chin. Lockridge was banished again but the Papooses 'held o.n. Hall also was sentenced to two minutes. Wingham came to life with the period nearly ended. Lloyd took Hilberts pass and tied it tip, 12 seconds later Templeman banged one 'in on Lloyds: pass. There were only two goals scored in the second frame each team getting • one. About quarter way through Bill Chin with the help of Holmes scored one to tie the game up, In about a minute Huffiest put the young Indians .on top when he took Lloyd's pass, sifted around the defence-And beat Orr In both the above periods play was very fast in spots but there were dull -moments also. The kids never quit trying and at this point it looked like anybody's game.' The goal that put misery into the hearts of the Wingham fans happened in the third period. For 18 minutes the teams battled on even terms and it looked as though the Papooses had the group title all wrapped up, but Ferguson changed this, He skated' around the. Papooses who seemed thunder-struck and notched the -goal that tied things up. The overtime goal was another heart break. McLeod, who by the way played a stellar game, stopped the shot at the side of the net. He thought the bell had gone and relaxed and Bill Chin punched it into the net for the winning goal. With less than four miutes to go . after that the Papooses -put everything into it but it was no dice. LUCKNOW—goal, Orr; def., Hol- mes, Hall; centre, A.

MOBILE UNIT HERE - EVERY WEDNESDAY Prime Minister Churchill and Presi- dent Roosevelt recently declared that it won't be long before a second front is eperied, and when, the invasion of Continental Europe takes place, it is generally- regarded that the Canadian Army will form the spearhead of the attack. Consequently -reinforcements for our gallant lads overseas are more urgently needed than ever before, and now is the time for all man of military age to "join the colors" to guarantee that replacements will not be lacking in'our country's hour of peril. The age for voluntary enlistment is 18Y2 to 45, and those who have re- ceived their first call only for compul- sory training are reminded that they still have time to enlist in. Canada's active army. The time to make a decision has now arrived for. many men who will be called on later to answer the ques- tion: "What did you do in- the war?". The answer can only be supplied by each individual who freely gave his services to his native land—or failed to do his duty. There is no other choice. Women, too, can ,lend a helping hand in the crisis by enlisting in the Canadian Women's Army Corps, there- by releasing another fighting man for front line duty. Already many women with a Iiiglm sense of loyality and of a fine type of citizenship have joined the C.W.A.C., and are doing a wonderful job. But thousands more are need to help the cause of freedom. If you think you can aid in any way Why. not offer your services today to the .C.W.A.C..

A Mild Spell The mild spells we have had since last November were few and far be- tween so the mild weather of the past few days has been very welcome in- deed. Especially by those who are experiencing great difficulty in secur- ing coal, The snow had taken a real licking and it is good to see it going. Sunday is the first day of spring but if the weatherman decided to start a few days early there will,be no objec- tions.

STICK TO YOUR WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES No better interest rates ere paid on any Canadian war financing securities than on War Savings Certificates—if you hold them 'until full maturity. They are meant to be held, not cash- ed. Canada promised that it would cash time certificates under certain circumstances, but this was done to avoid hardship in special cases, not because cashing a Certificate before maturity was anything but bad for the owner and bad for Canada. That promise will be kept of course, as Dominion of Canada financial obli-1 gations have always been kept—to the letter. But too many thoughtless owners of War Savings Certificates are asking Canada to give them back their cash now — without any good reason, except that they want to spend the money — and at a time when the money is badly wanted to fight the Battle of Freedom. Every person who buys a Certificate does a patriotic action, and at the same time gets him- self a good investment and a cushion against post-war hard times. Every person who cashes in a Certificate a un- necessarily,mlia, does an unpatriotic action. cheats thenself of part of its value, and wekens the shocks absorber which save him from nasty post-war bumps. The. Certificate for which you pay $4. now is worth $5, if yott keep it maturity. If you cash it in after six months you only get $4. for it. Net loss $1! And actually you lose more than that, because. by spending your $4. at present high prices you get less value per dollar than you will when prices are hack to normal. Farmers have learned all about the difference in the purchasing power of money, by painful experiences I That is one reason why they are among the least offenders in this matter. The group which shares this honour with farmers is the financial group- — the men who each year. buy the maximum. amount of War Savinge. Certificates allowed by the regulations, The financiers to whom one-tenth of one percent means a lot of money— who understand the exact value of money arid interest ie terms of what it is really worth, hang on to their War Savings Certificates like grim death! It is the best paying thing they tan find itt Canadian war invest- merits. It is so good in fact that in order to prevent them buyirig huge amounts of War Savings Certificates instead of Victory Bonds, the Govern- ment limits their purchases to $489, per head, per year, RED CROSS DANCE AT HOLMES SCHOOL Presentation, Made To Russel HolM411 The Red Cross Dance held at 'Holmes School,'S, S.

We are having a swell time and while you may feel a bit conspicuous right now, I want to say on behalf of all present -that we ap- preciate the opportunity to show this evening of fun and entertainment with you, and we hope you'll carry away memories of your friends as they stand around your now, wishing you best of everything. Most of us have known you since the good old days when- you were too small to know much about life. Now you are a man Russell, and we are proud to know that you are fighting for all time things you want. The future isn't any too bright at present, but with you in there, we feel con- fident that it won't be long now. However, friends don't -stand on ceremony and I'm sure you would like this address to be short and sweet. That's exactly what I'd like to do my- self and so I'm taking this last min- ute to say that knowing you, has been a great experience for all of us. We cannot say enough about our pride in having as fine a representative of our community in the armed forces as yourself. Do a good job and when things are tough going, remember that we're pulling for you all the way . . no matter what happens. All of our friends here to-night wished to do something practical for you and got together to give you this purse of money which we hope you'll be able to use. It isn't much, but it comes from the bottom of our hearts. Please accept our gift and best of luck to you.
