Sailors' Plan For Key Hockey Import

)ole of the Goderich Interm
naernate iauckey organization re-
Celared a bit of a jolt last Friday
When they learned that the Ontario
"tt ekey Associati;an has made a
• gauge in the "bonus player" rules.
The rule change may have an im-
keportant bearing on Gale of the
y players sought for this winter's
edition of the Goderit h Sailors.
Under the new set-up, a bonus
player- must reside and work 'in
the town for which he plays
Sa;tlnkey. Formerly', it was possible
,13r' a player to live in, say, Strat-
ford and travel to Goderich to
play hockey for the Sailors.
Local hockey e,ffieials are con-
cerned about the change and in-
" timate they will have more to say
soon. The rule .change was made
at the OHA annual meeting in
April but the local club was not
notified until last Friday noon,
Manager Jack Evans has been talk-
ing to Exeter officials and they
stated that the change was news
to thein, too.

change, there is now little, if any,
difference between an import and
a bonus player. All must now
reside and work in the town for
which they play.

She suffered an injured finger in
the first game and was - unable to
play in the second con'est.
First Game
The quarter -final got under way
on Wednesday, September 12, when
the Dodgers defeated the Sarnia
Imperials 5-2' in a 10 -inning game
in Sarnia.

This seerned to spark the Dodg-

the Sarnia team so that they made
a costly error which filled the
bases, and Dorothy McCabe singled
to drive in one run.
However, the Sarnia girls -.were,
not yet defeated. They came back
with two long singles to right
field. These, coupled with a pair
of bad throws, netted two runs
to tie the game.
In the tenth, Dorothy McCabe led
off with a smashing triple and was

Mr. Wolcott said the accurate

was a "godsend" to the entire

includes 385 publications and ABC
data is now available on more than
99 per cent of the total cis culations
of Canadian daily newspapers, he
added.
He said ABC helped the advertis-

PORT ALBERT
OTTAWA, Sept. 17.—The flow of
cath into the pockets of Canadian
farmers rose to a near ,high of
$1;188,000,000 in the first half of
1956, the Bureau of Statistics re-
ported today.
Almost all the rise of $137,762,
000 from the similar 1955 period
was concentrated on the Prairies
with higher wheat sales providing
the remain impetus for the cash
income spurt.
Cash income is the money farm-
ers -receive from the sale of farm
gondfs and from periodic grain pool
payments. From this, producers
must deduct expenses. The amount
remaining is net income.
The Jtunuary-June cash figure was
the highest since the peak , of
$1,241,700,000 in 1951. It had de-
clined steadily since then causing
deep concern among farmers facing
a rise in production costs.
