Friday Aug. 15th Lueknew 4, Wingham 3 A capacity crowd in Wingham park saw the Mercurys lose a ball game in the ninth innings after leading all the way by one run. An interference call ley the first base umpire and an overthrow to third were enough to lose the game. Both pitcners were working hard, Justice having the edge with 15 stOke outs and Sparrow with 9, Each team earned eight hits, Sparrow and Jus- tice were also the big guns at bat for their respectiv;e teams, Sparrow coming through with a triple and a single and Justice a double and a single. Templeman, Crewson, Gaull, Aitchison, Gardner andH mina batted out singles. Big innings for Wingham was the third when Sparrow hammer- ed out a triple to score Gann and came home on an overthrow.

Miley dame up, and always dangerous at bat, he lived up to his reputation and brought in Bissett with a double. Riggin came up and his clout to the left infield was picked up by Gardner who made the toss to first retiring Riggin. Hanna made a throw to third in •an attempt to catch Miley but Gardner was knocked down and the ball went well over his head, Miley scoring the winning run.

By tradition, the ladies may be expected to want the bulletin, but it will be surprising if the men in the family do not take a look at it as well. Prepared by the Nutrition Section of the Women's Institute Branch of the Department, it deals briefly and clearly with the problems of over weight and underweight, as affected by the foods which are eaten. Sug- gested meals for either situation are included. Then for those who wish to look more carefully into the matter of the number of calories they consume, or to substitute other. foods in the sug- gested meals, there is a list of the common foods, accompanied by their calorie content, This gives the inter- ested homemaker, as well. as the individual a means of judging the foods which will most benefit the members of the family. The publication "Your Food and Your Figure" is listed as Extension Circular No, 83 of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. It can be obtain- ed from the offices of the County Agricultural Representatives; from the Women's Institute Branch, On- tario Department of Agriculture, 1207 Bay Street, Toronto; or from the Statistics Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. High Kicker Breaks Big Toe SeVeral weeks ago an item appeared in the columns of the Walkerton Herald-Times, recounting an incident at the Clarence Krueger home in which Mr. Kueger received a broken big toe, when in kicking off his under- wear preparatory to taking a bath, he also kicked the door jam with the above result. Besides receiving a great deal of ribbing from his friends regarding the Saturday night bath, he has been advised like Bathless Groggins in the Comic strip, to forego these ablutions in the future, A num- ber of papers copied the item and the latest comes from San Juan, Puerto Bice, from a cousin of the former tonsorial artist, stating that the fact that he had taken a bath with unfor- tunate results, had made the headlines in the Puerto Rico Herald, WEALTH- AND EASE WAS NOT ENOUGH Central Press Canadian Suzanne Cloutier of Ottawa has had life too easy to suit her so she is giving up $500 a week paid to her by a Hollywood film company to loll in the California sunshine. En-e is going to Paris where she hopes to be able to do what she wanted to do in Hollywood,--to act. In Paris she will resume the film career in- terrupted when Hollywood signed her for a motion picture which was never made, FEDERATION NEWS By Jim Powers, Federation Fieldman for Bruce County The preseat floor price for cattle will continue through September, it was announced by the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. James G, Gardiner, after a cabinet meeting. The Min- ister added that despite rumours to the contrary a support price for cattle will continue for the duration of the United States embargo against Canadian cattle. Reviewing the recent record of cattle marketings and beef purchases it was pointed out that in the early weeks of July the Price Support Board received as much as 3,5 mil- lion pounds of beef per week for shipment to Britain. Because beef supplies since /mid-July have been very little more than the amount re- quired by the Canadian market, it has been possible to reduce Board purchases to about 750,000 pounds a week. During the next few weeks, depending on the cattle marketings, Board purchases may be further re- duced. Since the inauguration of the beef exchange plan with Britain and New Zealand the Price Support Board has purchased approximately 45 million pounds of beef for shipment to the U.K. This represents about three- quarters of the amount estimated to be required to offset diversions of New Zealand beef to the United States during the present calendar year. Any reduction in current buy- ing will help to conserve the balance of the contract for delivery later in the season when cattle marketings are likely to be heavier than at pre- sent. MISS CANADA, 7952 Care of Nylon Strength, elasticity, ability to bold definite Shape or dimensions when washed, and quick drying •are sonic of the characteristics which have made nylon one of the most popular fabrics for wearing apparel and-, household use. This itatement comes from Miss ,elleanor Kidd, Supervisor of Clothing, Women's Institute Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, She adds that an understanding of these characteristics and of the care of the fabric to preserve it will enable the homemaker to use nylon to even better advantage. Another of the characteristics of nylon which Miss Kidd mentions is its abrasive resistance. However, she points out that the surface of pure nylon sometimes roughens or forms little balls of nap when the fabric is subjected to rubbing. If wool is added to the fabric when it is being made, this is overcome. Conversely shirting flannel with about 12% nylon in it is much stronger than all-wool flannel of the same weight. In other words, the strength which makes nylon popular, still serves its purpose when the nylon is combined with other fibres. While nylon is easy to launder, the washability of any textile depends on the dyeing and finishing, the type of fabric and seams„ the trimmings and the design of the merchandise. Thus it may be that dissatisfaction with a particular article should be blamed on one of these factors rather than on the nylon itself, Another point to keep in mind is that while nylon is resistant to alkali, it is easily damaged by mineral acids. Some deodorants and similar mate- rials are sufficiently acid to damage nylon, especially if not removed by thorough washing before ironing, She suggests washing dyed nylon with lukewarm water and mild soap or detergent. White nylon fabrics 'should be washed separately as they i may be, discoloured from dye or soil 'removed from other clothing. Blue- ing seems to improve the whiteness and a bleach can be used to remove specific stains. However, the bleach • will not correct over-all discoloration. I To minimize or eliminate ironing, Miss Kidd says to wring the nylon lightly. Knit nylon, so treated, seldom 'requires ironing, but woven nylon fabric will look better if ironed while 'slightly damp. Since high tempera- tures may yellow white nylon, and, if too high, may even melt the fabric, she emphasizes that a cool iron not a hot one, should be used. In conclusion, she points out that sunlight causes severe deterioration of delustered or semi-dull nylon fabric. This explains why some of the first nylon curtains proved disappointing. However, those made of bright nylon should prove serviceable, if not hung in windows exposed to very strong sunlight. WESTFIELD Messrs. Garth McClinchey and Franklin Campbell left on Monday for the West, where they will spend sev- eral weeks.
