As an example of the assistance

,eve should mention that many of the
town's best athletes'in various sports,
such as baseball, hockey and lacrosse,
were brought to town by the Western
Foundry Co., lured by the offer of
steady, lucrative employment in con-

married VVingham girls and, stared
here for a considerable time before
moving away. One of the fatuous teams that the
Western :Foundry sponsored was the
Huron Oak, Lacrosse Team of 1915.
That team only lost Olit in the provin-
cial finals to. Orangeville by the :tar-
rowest of margins owing to injuries.
Many Winghamitee must still rentem-
bee the Western Foundry men who
played on that great team arrant;
whom were Grant Fetterley, Eddie
and Cliarlics Hawkins, 'Geyser" An-
derson, "Ted" Elliott and Scott. "Ted"
Elliott was a local boy and among
other locals were -Walter VanWyck,
Charles McLean, "Pete" Knechtel,
and DeWitt Holmes.
The Western Foundry employees
were staunch backers of all Wingbam
teams, but in particular, they were
most loyal to the 1915 Huron Oaks,.
It was reported at the ,time, acrd this
may be fact or fiction, that before
each game at home, the men at the
Foundry would toss a shovel in the
air, with the agreement that, if it stay-
ed tip they would work, but, if it fell
to the floor they would go to the
game, To the horror of all, one day
the shovel caught in a rafter and that
was one time the employees missed a
game,
Today, Wednesday, October 20th,
the Western Foundry Company has
arranged to hold "Open House" all
afternoon. This is a wonderful chance
for all residents of Winghten and
Vicinity to inspect this important and
interesting industry. With their usual
thoughtfulness and thoroughness the
company has supplied, busses to and
from the Foundry from 'the Wingham
Town Hall and guides to show and
explain all the materials and processes
used in the manufacture of their pro-
ducts. This is an opportunity that
should not be missed and. one more
splendid service that the Western
Foundry Company has given to the
town of 'Mecham. * * *
HEAVY CROPS In
WESTERN ONTARIO
Ontario fahuers had very good
reasons to be especially thankful on
Thanksgiving Day this year because
field crops have been exceptionally
good in this part of Canada. Spring
brought conditions favorable to seed-
ing, and with a lot of land prepared
the season before, there was sufficient
moisture in the early season to bring
alone a good hay crop.
Spring grain, oats and barley, yield-
ed about 10 bushels to the acre more
than in ,1947. Wheat crops were also
very good, and some farmers reported
yields as high as 50 'bushels to the
'acre, while the average throughout the
'province would be approximately 34
bushels to the acre. Nocrnal yield is
only about 30 bushels.
Pasture remained good until about
midsummer when older meadow dried
up, with the result. that toward the.
Dauer part of the eason corn
to
other
;supplementary crops had to be used
'to help out with feeding. Corn, man-
"tolds and turnips suffered somewhat
i from the dry weather in August, which
retarded growth, but they came along
fairly well later on. In Southwestern
i
Ontario they had one of the best corn
own clothes. He said, "the finished
article is of far more value than a
shipment of materials alone ever could
