In the "basketball games played last
Wednesday against Clinton in the
Wingham Armouries, the local high
school girls were victorious while the
boys lost their games.
The first game saw the Wingham
and ,Clinton senior boys battle on even
terms most of the way, with the score
24-20 for Clinton going into the last
quarter; but in the final ten minutes
Clinton pulled away to win 36-20.
Stainton and Ernest led the Wingham
attack with 7 points each, and Hobden
and Gammage played a steady game
at guard.
The W. H. S. girl cagers won their
third straight game and took over the
league leadership by defeating the
Clinton girls 30-21. The girls played
one of their best games of the season,
with the guards checking well and the
forwards displaying good passing com-
bination and some accurate shooting.
Leading scorers were Gloria Swanson,
'Mary Ross and Lois Lockridge with 8
points each.
In the final game the junior boys lost
to the visitors 34-9 in a rather rugged
contest. Currie, Cummins and French
score the Wingham points.

Wingham District Raised a Grand
Total of $1,893,15.
With the closing of the Christmas
Seal Campaign the Wingham District
has made a very creditable showing.
This district comprises the municipali-
ties of Wingham, Brussels, East Wa-
wanosh, Morris, Turnberry and How-
ick. This year an appeal was made to
every household and letter each con-
taining 200 seals were sent out, with
the result that 1026 people in the dis-
trict responded to the appeal. The tot-
al amount received was $1893.15, con-
tributions ranging from 10c to $25.00,
with an average of $1.89 per contribu-
tion. Many letters of appreciation
were received testifying to the value of
the project.
This money is being used in Huron
County for the establishment of free
X-ray Clinics and other projects to as-
sist in eliminating tuberculosis. Wing-
ham had one of these clinics last year
when more than 3000 people were X-
rayed. Other parts of the district will
receive this service during 1948.
Produce Depot Gutted, and

A fire loss' of close to $35,000 was

ture and undertaking business in the
adjoining building.
Robert Gemniel, Brussels Fire Chief,
suffered severe facial burns wide
attempting to enter the blazing build-
ing, but he continued to direct opera-
tions.
The body of the late John. Grant,
resting in the funeral parlour, was re-
moved during the fire and taken to the
United Church, whence the funeral
took place that afternoon.
The fire, which apparently broke out
in the egg room of the produce plant,
was first noticed` about 6;00 a.m. by
Mrs. Alex, Coleman, ,who lives in an
apartment next door, and the flames
spread rapidly.
Despite difficulties in obtaining a
quick flow of water, owing to ice in the
river, the fire-fighters were soon able
to prevent the blaze from spreading to
the adjoining buildings. At 7:30 a.m.
the roof collapsed, but, with the assist-
ance of the Wingham Fire Brigade,
which arrived at 7:40, the fire was soon
completely under control.

As forecast the C.C.F. failed to place

Sport fans witnessed one of the best
games of the season here on Thursday
evening when the Wingham Stainton
Spitfires and the .Goderich Lions Ju-
veniles tangled in Aang,-up exhibition
affair, with the Spitfires winning 8-6.
With both teams heading their indi-
vidual groups and both undefeated to
date, the game resembled a play-off ex-
hibition, with plenty of thrills, remark-
able stick handling, and a free-for-all
added in for good measure. Thurs-
day's game is just a sample of the
hockey expected should these two
teams meet first in the play-offs, and
by all reports, Goderich will no doubt
meet the Spitfires in the first round,
with Listowel and Durham the likely
rivals in that section.
