FLORAL SECRETARY
VISITSWINO!.
W. A, Gunn, Secretary of the United
United Florists News, was in Wing-
ham last week paying a visit to E. S.
Florists of Canada and editor of the
Lewis, the florist.,
Mr. Gunn was non-committal when
we raised the question of his bid for
the Ontario Liberal Leadership, but
he did say how very fortunate we are
to have a first class growth' florist ht
Winghafn. Flowers he said, are -words
which point to the higher worthwhile
things.
, The daily press have been quoting
Mr. Gene about the surplus apple crop,
which he thinks should be tanned.
Pointing out that the city folk arc sold
canned apple sauce imported from the
United ,States and ,thereby making for
fewer Canadian dollars, its the oldi- old
story, we' have too many politicians
and too few statesmen.
"Bright As Day" Says Crowd
A large crowd was treated to some
first class softball es the Clifford
perials played the russets girls with
Clifford winning 124. The big differ-
ence, however, wa4, the fact that the
game was played under the new flood-
lighting system c9ntributed by the
Wingham Lions Clitb. Probably the
best game of the evening was the one
in which Mayor Duncan Kennedy was
pitcher, This game was played as part
of the opening ceremony which began
with John McKibbien immediate past
president of the Liens Club presenting
the keys to Alex qoutts, president of
the Softball Association. Mr. McKib-
bon paid glowing tribute to Mr. Coutts'
leadership of a moat active organiza-
tion. Mr. Coutts accepted the keys
with thanks, remarking that this con-
tribution by the Lions Club was one
of the many great pieces of service
work done by that organization and
that most contributions received little
or, no publicity. "A fine Club like this
one deserves our:wholehearted sup-
port" declared Mr. Coutts. He then
called on Mayor 'Duncan Kennedy
with the request to "light this pal.k."
Mayor Kennedy welcomed tire large
crowd (nearly 1000) and then threw
the switch lighting the park brilliantly.
Then came the great game Which feat-
ured Mayor Kennedy pitching, John
McKibben catching. and Frank-Madill,
Lions Club president, batting. Other
members of the Town Council, Recre-
ation Council and Softball Association
filled out the rest of the team. This
brilliant exhibition of softball came to
a sudden end as Frank Madill secur-
ed a base hit.
The Wingham Citizens' Band parad-
ed to the Park and took part in the
opening ceremonies and contributed a
-number of selections.
Following the thrilling game by the
Clifford-Brussels girls the Port Elgin
men's Intermediate "A" team met the
Wingham Hurons in an exciting tilt
that had the crowd in a wild uproar.
Wingham• won handily by a score of
11 to 1, Batteries were Lediett and
Jardine pitching for Wingham with
Groves catching and Gateman and
Sailor Johnson for Port Elgin. The
the whole. evening'at programme. The
crowd seemed thbroughly pleased with
proceeds were donated to the Recre-
ation Council for children's sports.
Another Large Crowd. Saturday Night
An exciting game had a large crowd
on the edge of their seats on Satur-
day 'evening as Seaforth defeated
Wingham by the close score of 5-4,
Pitching for Seaforth was Kennedy
with O'Shea catching. The battety
for Wingham was Jardine and Groves.
