Underground Like Groundhog
Strange as it may seem, the rac-
coon in this district are going under-
ground like the groundhog. No doubt
the absence of large hollow trees,
which are being cut down, is the
cause of the coon changing his
habitat.
DI one afternoon in a small area
evidence showed that the raccoon
had enlarged groundhog holes and
was living in the new home. Nature
has proven that animals can and
will change their mode of living and
survival, and this is just another
example,
The season for racoon this year
is from Nov. 1 to Dee. 31. The
license is $2,00, and must be obtained
from the Conservation officer in the
district in which you reside.
Lights may he used for the hunt-
ing, of raccoon at night, but a dog
must be in attendance. License for
a dog is $1.00. Rifles as well as shot-
guns are allowed to be used, but
game wardens are advising those who
might hunt deer at night under the
pretend° of hunting coon that they
will get the book thrown at them if
caught abusing the coon hunting
privi/eges.
This year a person hunting deer
must have a gun license, as well as
a deer license,
A farmer may not discharge a
firearm on his own property on
Sunday.
He requires no gun permit to carry
a firearm on his own property, but
if he has a second farm some dis-
tance away, he takes a chance of
being prosecuted if found off his
own land taking the gun from one
farm to another,
Mayor Oscar M, Nickel of Listowel,
is disappointed that several commun-
ities in this part of Western Ontario
failed to support the move to have
Remembrance Day proclaimed a nat-
ional holiday, Listowel will observe

said.

Viewing the unusuality of the nat-
ure of the charge, Magistrate Holnies
said he was doubtful if the case was
serious enough for criminal court. At-
ter evidence was heard, with one wit-
ness telling of "seeing things moving
out," and another witness describing
one accused dropping a pie out the
window while the other caught it be-
low, Magistrate Holmes told the,
youths to pay court costs and no fur''
tiler action would be taken. Restitu-
tion for the pie and melon, the court
was told, had already been made.—
Huron Expositor,
Most Important Possession
At least 80% of our knowledge comes to us through the
eyes. Yet we are more careless about eyesight than
any other possession. Many people have defective
vision without even knowing it, Nothing is more
important than your own two eyes, Have them
examined once a. year, Begin now.

HOCKEY HAZARDS
There is no other game in our sports
calendar nearly so hazardous as hoc-
key. injuries to players occur with
Startling frequency, A few of these
are incidental to the game, some are
p uTr he ley ma caeliedrei nt 1 t y
'1 maintain, are the
results of rough and rowdy tactics
employed by players and defi n itely
conceived to stop opposition players
effectively and unlawfully. Though,
the spectaors known quite well, in in-
dolging in them, they are breaking the
rules of the game, Some of those out-
laws get encouragement from specta-
tors who usually pose as, and unlaw-
fully call themselves fans. Their en-
'couragement inevitably eggs on the
nasty players to further exhibitions of
hockey criminality,
The assigning of penalties to the
rowdies does no good and assuredly
does not restrain them in the least
in their sequent conduct when they
return to the ice, Something much
more drastic than the imposition of
penalties must be engineered and
adopted in the handling of those "dyed
in that wolfish wool" which all lovers
of clean sport so violently detest and
abhor.
To insure players against injuries
resulting from foul play is a good
thing; a very excellent thing, and I
am pleased to find that this is going
to be done and in a very reasonable
and fair way by the WOAA, But it is
very like a case of locking the stable
after the horse has been stolen. It is
not enough that we insure against in-
juries; we must try most diligently
to prevent them, I am untimely sorry
that I am forced to predict a most al- ,
arming increase in injuries this season
over last, notwithstanding insurance I
that in all likelihood will be negotiat-
ed,
Indeed I feel sure that many players 1
with good home-ties will be obliged,
before setting out to engage in a hoc-
key affray, to say a tentative goodbye 111._-11
to dad, to kiss ma perhaps for the
last time, and to invoke a blessing on
the dear home, they may never see •
again. For verily, verily, these players
go forth with lives in jeopardy. They
have placed them in the laps of the
God for ever and ever, Amen. Yes,
this hockey business cannot be enter-
ed now in any but a., very serious
mood. n

Seaforth on Wednesday afternoon

in England last year, arid the follow-
ing nations were represented on the
provisional board, in addition to Can-
ada-England, Scotland, Wales, Eire,
Holland and Sweden. During the dis-
cussions a provisional set of rules was
drawn up to govern the match, The
roles have been tentatively accepted
by these countries.
The tentative rules, under Which the
match will be held, will have a trial
run during November's British Plou-
ghing Association match, a special
"overseas invitation class" being in-
cluded for the purpose. With the ex-
pectation that the first world match
will be held next year, Mr. Thomas in-

WIRE WISELY- LIVE WELL
Electricity, properly used, brings modern service and-
convenience to your fingertips. It adds to the ease and
enjoyment of living, it places a host of "electrical servants"
at your beck and call twenty-four hours of the day. But
the extent to which you can use these electrical servants
depends upon how wisely your home is wired.
Inadequate wiring is inefficient . . even dangerous.
Adequate wiring lets you operate your lighting. and appli-
ances at peak efficiency at all times. What is adequate
wiring? Briefly, it means the correct size of three wire
service to the house, the proper number of circuits and
correct size of wire within the home, together with sufficient
outlets in each room to take care of your electrical require-
meats meats both today and in the future.
Thanks to "power at cost" you can economi-
cally use all these electrical servants in your
home—if you haveprovided for them. Be
sure, -whether you plan to build or remodel,
that adequate wiring has top priority on your
check list of things you need. We will be
glad to help you solve your wiring problems.
