In the opening game of the season last Wed- nesday night, the Dash- wood Tigers rallied from a 5-0 deficit to defeat the Colts 13-7. The Colts took an early 5-0 lead with five big runs in the second inning. A single by Cam MacDonald and a home run by Doc Miller gave the Colts two runs. A walk to Butch Fleet, a single by Paul Bartliff and back to back doubles by Don MacDonald and Cal Fromlin produced three more runs. Dashwood erupted for four runs in the top of the fourth to cut the Colt lead 5-4. The big blow was a three run homer by Jim Dickey. The Tigers took the lead for good with three runs in the fifth inning. Singles by John Hayter, Jim Guenther and Dave Thurman accompanied by two walks and a Colt error gave them the 7-6 lead. Dashwood scored two more in the sixth and four runs in the seventh to put the victory away. Jim Guenther, the stalky Tiger hurler, went the distance in winning his first game of the season, Tim.McLean, the third Colt pitcher, took the .1Qss. Don MacDonald had two Colt hits while one hit each went to Cal Fremlin, Cam MacDonald, Doc Miller, Rick Welsh, Mike Anstett and Paul Bartliff. Back in Clinton on Sunday afternoon, the Colts dropped their second consecutive game; this time a 7-6 decision to the Crediton Mets Danny Proctor suffered his first loss of the season but pitched a very -strong game in going the distance. He struck out 10 Met batters, walked only one man and scattered 11 hits. The Colts pounded out 15 hits, but left 15 men stranded on base. Rick Bowers, the Met pitcher, time and time again was bailed out of trouble at the right time. Dave Bartliff had three doubles; Danny Proctor, a double and two singles; Cal Fremlin, a double and single; Don Bartliff, Midgets lose.. • from page 6 WWiscraft,_ Jeff Watson, Steve DeJong, Ritchie Cox and batboy, Fred Radley.

He was a pioneer in the business and for a time contented himself with the Canadian trade, but nine years ago he began to export and the volume of his trade has grown so that he is widely known as the "Canadian Hay King." 1902 was not a good hay year, but Mr. Cudmore has since last September shipped 2,535 tons.

The people of Vanastra have helped to pay for the federation grant since they started to pay taxes and no way have the farmers of Tuckersmitlf' paid any money towards the recreation centre before. Over half of the people in Tucker - smith are not farmers and we get more taxes, from buildings than we do from farmland.

The seven mill increase on the township rate which is about $28,000, is put into the reserve fund for a rainy day.

Almost a year ago I parted with $650 for a human hairpiece which was supposed to be guaranteed for four years. Well in four months it started shedding hair very rapidly and the rip-off came when I tried to return it and was told that it was my fault for not properly looking after it. They said that if I wanted it repaired, I'd have to pay to get it done, as their ("so called") guarantee didn't cover, "damage due to negligence." I vehemently deny this, but how do I get my money back? Send all the facts to the, Consumer Protection Bureau, 555 Yonge St. Toronto. ROWS SUNOCO GAS BAR & VARIETY 192 HURON ST. CLINTON An elderly reader paid almost $300 for a Sonoid deluxe heat and massage pad from a door to door salesman representing the Dominion Therapy Company ,from Downsview, Ontario. The reason our reader bought this pad was to ease leg pains, however in the in- ion book that came with the pad it stated that, it should not be used by anyone with peripheral vascular disease. He contacted his doctor and was told `by him, that he didn't recontnend it for him. He then sent a letter explaining all this to the company and requesting a refund. His letter of almost 2 months ago still remains unanswered.
