Chiropractors 197 Josephine St. Wingham By Appointment 357-1224 THE CASE FOR GOOD BUSINESS SENSE The representative for the Winghaw erritory will be in the area every Tuesday. It simply makes good sense to meet with the representative of the Federal Business Development Bank who will soon spoke of the seven words of Jesus on the cross, which summarized the love and grace of God in the life of our Lord. Scripture was read from Luke and Mrs. Taylor led in prayer. Mrs. Willard Armstrong conducted the Bible study, "The Treasure of Life", as given in the Observer. Several members read scripture. According to Pro- verbs, treasure for the faith- ful is wisdom, the wisdom and knowledge needed to walk a path of integrity and justice.` Where is this treasure of wisdom found? By Jesus' example, it is found along the path of com- mitment to God lived out by commitment to people, especially the poor, the sick and the outcast. The Solomon Islands of the Pacific were described by Mrs. Leslie Bolt, including Guadalcanal, Malatia, New Goe gia, Santa Isabel and othe . These islands are Britishpossessions; the islanders speak English, the religion is mainly Protestant and Catholic and life ex- pectancy is 54 years. People grow gardens of yams, taros and sweet pota- toes and hibiscus shrubs flourish everywhere. On the plains are rice fields where great red combines reap and thresh, just like -in Canada. The agricultural officer is trying to persuade people to rely less on copra (dried coconut pulp) and grow ginger and tumeric for which there is a ready market. Prayer closed the meeting and refreshments were served by the hostess.

Tykes win and lose at Clinton tournament The Wingham Optimist Tykes traveled to Clinton last Saturday to participate in the Clinton Novice Tournament. The local boys won their first game and lost the second. In the fist game, the boys faced off against the Clinton II team. The pace was fast and hard and it wasn't until the 4:59 mark of the first that Clement Wai scored for Wingham. Barton Cameron got the assist after he passed the puck from the sidelines to Wai who was waiting in front of the net to hammer the puck home. Wingham's Matthew Hunter opened the second period scoring at 3:12 by drawing through the op- position and beating Clin- ton's goalie. Hunter was assisted by Gavin Hodgins. Wai came back at 6:59 to score his second goal, again assisted by Cameron. Jonathan Lane scored in the third period, unassisted, to make the final score, Wingham, four and Clinton, nothing. Throughout the game, Marc Poulin fought aggressively for the puck along the boards. Ryan Deyell led Todd Harrison and Andrew Forrest in keeping the play in Clinton's end. Mike Tiffin, Jonathon Balzer and Murray MacLeod provided strong defence and Ivan Skinn, Brendan Magee and Andrew Gibson all stopped Clinton cold. Matthew Elmslie, Wingham's goalie, earned the shutout. Within an hour, the Wingham -boys faced a strong Hensall team. Once again, Deyell and Gibson proved their versatility. Gibson reminded all of his skillful and fearless goaltending, as he stopped shot after shot, Deyell, playing defence, single- handedly stopped two Hensall breakaways by diving forward and throwing himself in front of the play. Wingham's only goal was scored by Matthew Hunter, unassisted. Hensall scorers were Rob Consitt, Dennis Mount, Mat Gardner and Thomas Scotchner. The final score was Hensall, four, and Wingham, one. Throughout the tour- nament, each Wingham player gave his best. The parents and the boys enjoyed and appreciated the Clinton hospitality. Wingham trainer enjoys success at Meadowlands A Wingham native is creating quite a stir in racing circles at the Meadowlands track in New Jersey this season, judging from the press there.
