Duplicating the feat of last season, the Stainton Spitfires eliminated tile Durham Redmen in the finals to cap the Intermediate "A" W. 0. A, A, Championship. With two games in the bag the overconfident Durham team fell apart in the last four garrin to give the Spitfires the coveted sil- verware. Saturday night the Spitfires proved their worth as they trounced the visitors 13-4, giving them their worst trimming of the series, The series ended practically the same as last season from a goal point calculation, with the exception the locals in 1250 won four straight, Wingham took an early lead Satur- day night as Westlake scored on a pass from Tustin at 56 seconds. Within a minute after Wingham broke into the scoring column. Proc- tor flashed the light to tie the score. Goals by Jackson and Crewson ended the period 3-1 for the Spitfires. Four penalties were handed out in this frame, two to each club, A six-goal splurge in the second period, proved to be more than the pay-off as the Spitfires ran up a substantial lead, Crewson opened the scoring in this period on a two way passing play from Lockridge and Pym at 2,54, Two minutes later Crewson scored his third goal of the night unassisted. Midway through the frame Proctor tallied his second on a pass from. Nichol and goals by Bain and Nichol ended the scoring for Durham for the balance of the game. Tustin, Wilson, English and Westlake added to the Wingham total before the period ended. Eight penalties were handed out by Referee Mote, in the session, Wilson and Lain e gettingsilitfi r et Nsv o 07.1 tcilni 'tied their at- tack in the final period, ramming home another four tallies on efforts by Norman Tustin, who flashed the red light twice and single markers going to Crewson and Lockkridge. 'ire penalty box keepers had a, busy session in the' final go as Pyrn was handed a major and Wilson ten min- utes. Close to 1300 fans saw the curtain fall on the 1951 Intermediate "A" season, It is expected Wingham will now play the winner of "B" and "C" Series for the grand championship. With the winning of the "A" crown, we say congratulations to Percy Stainton and his Spitfires for the honour brought to our town for the second year in a row. Durham-Goal, Strong; defence, G.

Mrs. Longley based her talk on ,Acts 4, 37; "Sharing with Others." Be- fore we are willing to share we have to be touched by the finger of Jesus, thus the missionaries have served and shared long and faithfully. Speaking , of Communism, she said it Is the ' greatest force that has ever risen against the Church of Christ, After attending the meeting of Tim Buck in Toronto, Mrs. Longley was convinced that when the Christian people know and study and share their text book .(The Bible) as well as Communists )mow and study their text book, then we need have no fear of Communism, .Also when Christians are as eager to share their Christianity as Commun- ists are eager to share their belief, then Christianity will prosper.

'')( At its regular meeting last Friday night at the Queen's Hotel, the Wing- ham Kinsmen Club heard an address entitled "Whither Kinsmenship" by District Deputy-Governor Dr. Fraser Hay of Listowel. Before Dr, Hay's talk, YPresident Scott Reid handed out a number of fines collected by sergeant-at-arms Kin Charlie Crossett, and asked for a number of committee .reports. Vice- Pres., Ross Hamilton reported that the next salvage drive was on April 21st and that a box-car of 40 tons' capacity was being reserved to ship out the salvageA Treasurer Ken `Johnson gave a financial statement on the recent ice carnival which showed a net profit of about ninety dollars. Secretary Bob Carbert read a letter from Past President Art Loucks, thanking the club for making him an honorary member. President Scott appointed Kin Al Williams convener of the committee for the spring dance and Kin Ross Vegan, chairman of the Salvation Army Red Shield compaign. Dr. Hay who was introduced by Vice-Pres., Ross Hamilton, took as his theme the need of service clubs- and particularly Kinmen Clubs-to justify their existence in the world of to-day. He said that all Kinsmen were aware of the organization's modest beginnings in Hamilton in 1920 and its growth to a nation-wide service club with over 9,000 members in 250 different centres. Kinsmen realized the history and purposes of Kinsmenship, but were they con- scious of where they were going? Deputy Governor Fraser believed that the greatest weakness in the Kin organization was its present lack of the co-ordinating force of a National Project-seine such, project as the Milk fqr Britain Fund of the last war. He said that community pro- ject were a "must" but just as .necessary was a unifying purposeful, nation-wide objective, As such an objective he suggested the setting up of fellowship and scholarships to be given first on a provincial basis and then enlarged as circumstances per- mitted. He was going to make his suggestions at the forthcoming zone -conference meeting, and asked •the "Wingham Clab to consider giving its support to his proposals. Dr. Hay was thanked by Past President Bob Ferguson.
