Warning Issued To Bootleggers 1ltagrstr'afe Dudley Holiries, of Goderich, presiding at court. in Exeter last ;week, „indicated in a warnijg , to bootleggers ,that their penalty would be stiffer than Usual if they are caught selling beer to minors, "I will 'take it into consider-: Seim when imposing penalty," he said. His warning arose in connec- tion with charges• against two Exeter youths for fighting while intoxicated •at an Exeter dance. "Where do they get their li- quor?" the magistrate asked,. "I thought the bootleggers around here restricted their sales. to ad- ults." "It used to be said that boot- leggers were only doing what the government used to do -but the government didn't sell to minors," the magistrate said. The Canada. Temperance Act provides no distinction between selling to minors or to adults but a magistrate can vary the amount of the fine or length of jail sen- tence in case of a conviction. - Times -Advocate, Everyone Reads And Uses The C.l;.,ssifieds ,; Vice Township Ot Tuckersmith To facilitate snow remov- al operations, the public is requested not to part: cars or vehicles on roadsides during the winter months.

Flyers Drop Colts 9-7 In 'Overtime On Zurich Ice Zurich Flyersreversed the 11-6 loss to Clinton Colts last week when, they defeated Clinton 9-7 in Zurich on Friday night. Doug O'Brien and. Bob McKinley pro- eided the winning punch by snor- ing the two overtime goals :that gave the Flyers their margin of victory. The game, the first played in the Zurich arena this winter, was very close with both teams enjoy- ing a two goal lead during the contest. The natural ice got heav- ier as the game progressed and by the overtime, combination play was almost impossible. Tom Colquhoun made the best play of the right when he took the puck the length of the ice and beat Merrier for Clinton's first goal. McEwan scored twice, Strong, Edgar, Elliott and Garon were the other Clinton marksmen, McKinley, Don and Doug O'Brien, and Doig each scored twice for Zurich, Ron Muir picked up a goal in the second period. The Colts play their next game at home against Mitchell on Fri- day night. This promises to be quite a battle as Clinton are only four points behind the second place Mitchell squad.

BethWhtitta a18 wonethe 1000 -metre but tterfly, the 400 -metre free -style and swam thethird leg in the 400 -metre relay race, all within .half an hour, to win three gold medals for Canada against the pick of the swimmers of two continents, Another Canadian gold medalist in the Pan-American Games was Helen Stewart of Vancouver. She set three new records in the Canadian swimming championships. In the senior women's 100 -yard backstroke Canada was victorious over the famous Washington; D.C., Walter Reed Swimming Club. Lenore Fisher, Canadian- champion of this event at the last Pan-American Gaines, downed the U.S. swimming ace, Shelley Mann, and racked up a new mark of 1:7:2. Canada's beloved Marilyn Dell swam the l/yrglish Channel. This could hardly be said to duplicate her conquest of Lake Ontario. But for sheer heroism and durability, it was a feat of high merit, From the bowling alleys of Kitchener came an almost unknown kid named Moe Norman, to compete for the Kitch- ever Rockaway Club iit the Canadian amateur golf title meet at Calgary. He wasn't highly rated, but on a sizzling August day over the prairie city's links, he battled Lyle Crawford of Vancouver a gruelling, testing 39 -hole playoff to win the championship. Norman sets pins in a Kitchener bowling alley all winter, plays golf all summer with a rare and, complete devotion- 36 holes every day -and hits at least 500 golf balls daily.
