Wingham High School football teams were forced to share the season's honors on. Tuesday afternoon following a slugging efleOtitret which ended on a scoreless tie after two periods of overtime play. Approaching darkness made further play impossible and be- cause examinations are slated for the Wingharn school scot', the two coaches, Wayne Horn- er of Goderich and Bob Camp - bell of Wingham agreed that the only solution would be a co-championship. Thus, the teams remained deadlocked ter five seasons of play each having won the Huron-Perth Conference championship te,%icce Because of the short end zones on the Wingham field if w as agreed before the game that the single point ,4seally al- lowed would not be valid in Tuesday's game. For this rea- son scoring strategy was ,otne- what altered. On third downs the players had to decide to either run or pass, and the en- counter turned out to be a de- fensive battle. Provincial Minister of Agri- culture Wm, A. Stewart and his cabinet colleague, Hon. Charles MacNaughton, minis- ter of highways, headed a par- ty which looked over the Can- adian Forces Base at Centralia on Monday of this week. The big base and all its buildings have been turned ov- er to Crown Assets Corporation for disposal and though it has not yet been offered to the province, it is generally ex- pected that such an offer will be made. Agriculture Minister Stewart said that he was interested in the buildings and their suita- bility for use as an agricultural school or experimental farm. However, he pointed out that top soil coverage and under drainage had probably been disrupted to some degree when the land was prepared for the Police Investigate Four Accidents Officers of the Wingham De- tachment of the Ontario Provin- cial Police investigated four motor vehicle accidents during the past week. One person was injured and two persons were charged with offences under the Highway Traffic Act, as well as one charge under the Liquor Control Act. The police also investigated two thefts, one LCA infringe- nenr and 13 other criminal of- fences. There t, as real excitement in the second quarter when the visitors were stopped cold on Wingham's one-yard line after Mike McArthur Goderich had fallen 011 a fumble at the \Ws, tang's seven yard line, The Vikings (Goderichf reached the Wingham 2.5 later in the same quarter but the pass was intercepted at the end zone. In the fourth quarter Gary Walden of the Mustangs tried for a l'e-yard field goal but the ball was wide of the mark and the opportunity was missed. Forcing their way back into Goderich territory the Mustangs pushed through to the Goderich 15-yard line before the end of the game hut the defenders took over on downs. The Vikings struck back as far as the Mustangs' eight yard line in the first overtime per- iod but time ran cut before they could score, The game ended on the Wingham '23 line with an attempted field goal by John Gottschalk of Goderich which was blocked. laying of the existing runways. The minister said that samples of the soil will be tested and the land reports studies by his department to determine its usefulness for agricultural pur- poses. The Centralia airport lies at the southern boundary of the county and in Mr. MacNaugh- ton's provincial constituency. Continued from Page One and after some considerable ef- fort decided he could not do the job. The Authority was left in the position that it would have to make other arrangements, and it was found that no other contractor was willing to tackle the job at a price comparable to the Kerr firm's original of- fer. In order to obtain more spe- cific information about the amount of material in the area the Authority had the firm of Crysler, Davis and Jorgenson make across-section examina- tion in September of this year. Mr. Crysler, who was in at- tendance, then outlined what his firm's findings had been, and said they closely followed those of the earlier survey, but covered more arca. Mr. Wenger told the meet- ing that it was up to the coun- cil to give direction to the Au- thority because the latter or- ganization was in no way trying to dictate to the municipality what should be done. It was a case of council deciding what funds are available and to de- cide how much or how little of the de-silting program it want- ed to have carried out. QUIZ PERIOD A general question and an- swer period followed, council and park board members quiz- zing the engineer and Authority members about the various pos- sibilities. Out of this stemmed the in- formation that the Authority would use a much higher figure for estimating what the cubic yard cost would be and that the wise move seemed to be to call tenders for a specific amount of material to be moved. Parks Board Chairman Harry McArthur outlined the proposal for financing, saying that his board had not spent all of its budget this year and would be willing to turn over next year's allotment to the program. He asked what was going to happen in regard to an original come mittment from the Public Utili- ties Commission to contribute 87,500 to the program. NOT RECORDED Mayor Miller, a member of the Public Utilities Commission, and formerly an elected repre- sentative, said that at the time when the Commission was com- posed of Mayor Hetherington, R. H. Lloyd and himself, he believed a motion had been passed to make this contribu- tion, but he has since found out that the motion was not record- ed on the minute books of the Commission. Mr. McArthur later said he had attended the meeting in question and the motion was passed. From this discussion it seem- ed apparent that the exact amount of money which is available for the work would run anywhere from $50,000 to $80, 000 with grants from the Department of Energy and Re- sources Management. The general meeting then was adjourned and council met separately to discuss the prob- lem, but decided to deferr any decision on the subject until the December meeting. This, in effect, means that the prob- lem will be thrown to the new council which will be elected on the same day for a two-year term. The Public Utilities re- presentatives will also be elect- ed on the same ballot. According to Robert Wenger, Wingham's MVCA representa- tive, the problem will have to be resolved quickly, as it is an- ticipated that at the end of the year the 75 per cent grant fac- tor will again revert to 50 per cent. Strikes Threaten National Tie-up Air Canada services came to a sudden halt on Monday after- noon as 5200 members of the International Association of Machinists who are employed as mechanics and maintenance men by the national airline walked off their jobs, The work stoppage leaves Air Can- ada powerless to operate either its domestic flights or those which originate in Canada for international destinations. The strike has caused the first interruption of service in the 29-year history of Air Can- ada or Trans-Canada Airlines, its predecessor. Canadian Pacific Airline and some privately-owned lines were still operating at mid- week, but their combined flights will be inadequate to handle the normal flow of pas- sengers. About 4,000 other unioniz- ed workers of Air Canada, such as pilots, stewardesses, etc., will remain unemployed and un- paid while the machinists carry out their strike, The airline has offered pay increases of 18 per cent over a two-year period. POSTAL STRIKE? Meanwhile negotiators were at work ina last-minute at- tempt to avert a strike of postal workers which would complete- ly cripple the business life of the nation. Involved are the 11,000 member Canadian Un- ion of Postal Workers (mail clerks) and the 9, 000-member Letter Carriers Union of Can- ada who handle the postal walks in the cities. Mail sorters now earn up to 85,215 a year and are asking for 87,205. Letter carriers are paid as high as $4,965 and are demanding $6,900. The postal strike was avert- ed when settlement was reach- ed on Tuesday afternoon. The mail clerks and letter carriers accepted an increase of 25¢per hour. Buys New Horses-- Wins Two Classes George Galbraith, well- known Wingham horseman, who has several entries at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, manag- ed a very successful purchase while in the city. Early in the showing he saw, liked and bought a harness horse and prepared the animal for the ring. His new horse took second prize in two events in the harness class, Canadian bred and 15-2 and under. George had several other horses entered at the Royal but had not shown in all classes at mid-week.
