One hundred itnd thirty-four golfers teed off Wednesday in the annual Invite - sal Tournament. While the weatherman didn't co-operate, everyone described the tourna- ment as a complete success. Ninety-two golfers paid a visit to the prize table at the end of the evening. They Labatt Trophy for low gross of the day went to a vis- itor from St. Clair Shores, Michi- gan, Albert Lacroix. Albert, who shot a sparkling one over par 69, had a 34 on the front nine and a 35 on the back nine. He was pre- sented with the Labatt Trophy and clock radio by Bob Fickling of Stratford: Low net in the 4, flight went to B. McCulloch. In the B flight, low gross went to Dr. Grant Mosley of Owen Sound with a 74, while Vic Contin walked off with low net with a score .of 63. In the C flight, my old sand baggin' buddy, Jack Muszynski, shot an 83 to take top honours. Low net C flight went to Ric Mar- iner. Local club members who made the trip to the prize table included Tom Deyell, Barry Simpson, Nel- son Frank, Ross Hamilton, Hap Hall, Pete Snow, Jim Wylie, Barry Reid, Rolly Kaufman and myself. The door prize, a trip for two to Quebec City, was won by,, Earl Groshaw of Palmerston. The Ram clubs, raffled off at the end of the evening, were won by a C. Kitchen of Port Dover. (I also un- derstand he doesn't play golf — With clubs like those, he should take to the •game very quickly.) Had two representatives from CBC at the tournament. George Finstadt and George McLean made their annual pilgrimage and while they didn't manage to win anything, theyenjoyed them- selves imrnensly. You know, it takes a lot of people, to make, a tournameei�t a success. Without the many hours donated to the club by members or the generous support shown by local merchants and business people, our Invitational would be ri? an th rialLina a . of one of the best in Western Ontario. Once you start saying thanks to all those whoel h Pte. you just can't quit. Special praise should go however, to chairman Brian Elmslie. Brian dida super 'job. Can't forget the gdies, either. Without their help d co- operation there would have been allot of hungry golfers throughout the day. Of course Lloyd had the course in tip-top shape, while Iso- bell and Carol *had the clubhouse just humming. (See what I mean you just can't stop.) To those I haven't mentioned, our sincere thanks for a job well done.

Walter and John Cruickshank to take their turn in the kitchen, and last Sunday was the day. Sixty- three golfers turned out for the morning (our biggest crowd of the year so far). Don got stuck with the dubious honour of cooking (he went through 15 pounds of bacon), while Join and Gerd had all the fun. Seems it was Don's 59th birthday and they thought they'd be nice to him. Well done, fellas. Top winners for the day were Bill English with a net of 32, George Skinn, and Lloyd Nickel. Most honest golfer award went to John Currie. Tom Deyell has volunteered his services in the kitchen next week. Don't know who Tom will rope into working with him, but it should make for an interesting morning. , SHORT PUTS . . .

The accident occurred at the corner of Victoria and Josephine St. last Wednesday afternoon. A blue 1969 Chevelle driven by Robert Thompson of RR 3, Tees - water received $800 damage to the hood, grill, bumper, right front fender and radiator while the second car, a blue 1969 Ford driven by Florence Kennedy of Wingham suffered $250 to the left front fender, bumper, chrome and hood. Police cruet Jim Miller told the Advance -Times that Mrs. Kennedy was proceeding east on Victoria St. and stopped at the corner of Victoria and Josephine. The chief said Mrs. Kennedy claimsshe looked both ways and then pulled out to make a left turn. At this, point she collided with the Thompson vehicle which was going south on the main street. Chief Miller said that the acci- dent is still under investigation because of conflicting accounts as to how it occurred Apparently several witnesses dispute Mrs. Kennedy's story. Ponce are also investigating a car theft. The Wingham chief said that early Sunday morning Remus Bailey of Wingham reported that some one had made off with his car. Mr. Bailey said he had heard the thieves outside his home and when he went out to investigate he saw the car being driven north on Josephine St. The car was recovered earlier this week in Chepstow by members of the Walkerton OPP detachment. However, Chief Miller said there are still some loose ends to tie up in the investigation. The police may be close to solving a number of recent break and entries in town. The chief said that Jack Bateson called police after someone had cut through a screen door at his dairy and broken in. The 'only article missing was a five gallon gaso- line can. The head of the town force said \that th y have the name of a suspect and they are - almost certain that the suspect was involved in a break-in at Bridge Motors two weeks ago. Police report that they laid five ' charges under the Liquor Control Act during the week. Five men were charged with possessing liquor in a place other -than their residences. Police did not release the names of the men charged. Constiated. Chew Feen•A•Mint It's a chewing gum laxative that's gently effective. .And pleasant tasting. It's one laxative everyone can take.
