By 'The Pedestrian -
IS THIS TORONTO?—
This week Ken. Thompson,
member of the. 4.-T staff had
rather rough experience. He came
down to work one morning and
found some smart character had
punctured the two reap tires on his
car 'with four inch. spikes. It is
costly vandalism such as this that
we hear so much alsoot in the
cities, bot dont expect to find in
our normally well-behaved smaller
communities. It la be hoped that
the culprit is apprehended end
dealt with accordingly.

Oared sold by the auctioneer,
Look over the list carefully.
There are some great bargains to
be had. The regular list amounts
to close to $900.00, including the
alarm clock specials, and ranges
from clothing to plow shares and
a roast of beef to beautiful
watches, Under the reserve bid sec-
tion there are seven major items of
top value amounting to well over
$2,000:00.
The proceeds from the radio auc-
tion are used by the Kinsmen to
further their community service ef-
forts during the year. Money raised
in 'this way last season helped to
renovate the old CPR station as a
Scout House. This is the type of
work the Kin are doing, and it can
only be done when public support
is behind such fund-raising efforts

Another feature of this year's hock-
ey plans will be the sale of season's
tickets, books of eight tickets to
permit entry at each of 'the sche-
duled genies, for a price of $3.00.
Separate admissions would total
$4,00 so the fans are being offered
good value, for their money, as well
as an opportunity to get some
money into the opening kitty to
meet exeenses as they arise.
The first home game will be in
the Wingham arena on Friday ev-
ening of this week, when the local
lade will Meet the Mitchell team.
Game time is 8.30 and manage-
