MINOR HOCKEY By the Faithful Follower '(Seaforth 5—Listowel 4 ) On Saturday evening at the Seaforth Arena Ken Powell sparked his juveniles to another victory. It was a hard fought battle from beginning to end but the locals landed on top. Ken King let loose' and tallied for the first Seaforth goal, with the assist of Ray'Scorns who made a lovely play in front of Listowel goal. At the end the second period it was all tied up at two apiece. Going into the 3rd Listowel went ahead by two goals to make it 4-2 with eight minutes remain- ing. (Seaforth event in front with three .goals, one by Wayne Pauli and I say again, old re- liable Ron Scoins, who com- pleted the evening's scoring with two lovely goals. The series has been .changed to the best 4 out of '7 instead of 3 out of 5. I'no- ticed also that Bab McGonigle made some sensational saves. They popped all kinds of shots at :him but he turned most of them away. This givesSeaforth 3 games out of the seven. The Midgets are holding up their end of the stick by elim- inating Mt. Forest from the Midget "C" playoffs. Now they go against the Port Elgin Club for the Western Ontario trophy. Three games if necessary will be played. I have noticed that a few took my advice last week, so I ask you again to come out and give the boys a hand.Since the playoffs are well underway we hope to see you there.

Clarke Honored by Friends Mr. and Mrs. Ross MacGregor o e d their hio ne me Friday"even- ing to the Farm Forugroup and neighbors of Mr, and Mrs, Ephraim Clarke upon their re- tiring from the farm and mov- ing •into ;Seaforth, and present- ed then; with a' table lamp' and picture. Ata suitable time Robert-Mc- Millan obertMc- Millan called Mr. and Mfrs: .Clarke forward while he read the following: "Dear Bertha and Ephraim: Friends and neighbors are gath- ered here tonight to pay triibute and boner to this highly res- pected couple of our common- ity. It is a privilege to act as spokesman on behalf of - this group of friends gathered here, to direct a few remarks in .their direction. To any knowledge, Bertha end Ephraim were mar- vied and have enjoyed happy wedded bliss for 45 years this ,Sept. 3rd. In my humble opin- ion they have lived a life in very close step from our origin- al pioneers. They have Weather- ed good tinges and bad, have reared a family of three, two pretty daughters and a stalwart son. Now that is not quite as big an accomplishment as our host and. hostess, the MacGreg- ors, but it is a lot better than some of us can show. As the history book would show, the Clarke's may not have had many real outstanding events in. their lifetime. Nevertheless, as faithful, loyal and hard work- ing neighbors we mate them right at the top of the class. Ephraim and 'Bertha have al- ways been willing to •add sup- port and assistance to any worth while effort, project or organi-i zation in our community. We aregoing to miss these fine people and their loyal support which they have contributed, and we are glad they are not going to move any farther than our home town of Seaforth. I will always remember Ephraim as one of the last persons in the community putting up a hard fight to raise a flock of sheep. He was also the last man to have a slaughter -house and beef ring operating on his farm. Well folks after enjoying such a• so- cial evening thus far, it would be amiss if we did not take this opportunity of expressing, as a little token of the esteem in which Bertha and Ephraim are held, and with this gift may we wish you both the best in con- tinued health, happiness and all the comforts in your new home". Mr. and Mrs. Clarke replied very fittingly, thanking every one for their kind words and thoughts. Last week Mrs. Ken Hulley and Mrs. Frank Riley presented Mrs. (Clarke with a lovely cake plate with remembrance 'from the Constance W. A. PRESBYTERIAN W.M.S. Mrs. D. Glenn Campbell, the President of the W.M.+S. of first Presbyterian .Church, presided at a well attended meeting of the Society in the ;basement of the 'Church on Tuesday after- noon. After minutes had been read by secretary, Miss J. Fra- ser, and treasurer's report giv- en, 'Mrs. Campbell, as represen- tative to the auxiliary from Hu- ron Presbyterial, then gave a talk on ''Stewardship" Many (have been faithful stewards, and yet there are times, she re- minded, when even at our best we could be doing snore. When we are asked to give • of our- selves, our time, our talents, our lives, we express much the same sentiment as the little girl who said: "We want ourselves". We want to do what we want to do with our lives. We want to be subject to no one. The apostle Paul's words remind us that "All things are yours", but he didn't stop there, he contin- ued, "Ye' are Christ's and (Christ is God's." God wants our best. In the Church there is ag reat task to do. He is counting on you and me. Dare we fail (Him? (Mrs. H. Stewart •rave the scripture lesson and comments, followed by prayer by .Mrs. F. Wigg.

All the Ag- ency does is to make hogs avail- able to any packing plant, large or small, if they are willing to pay the price of the day. The price is set each day, by the buy- ers bidding for delivery of hogs in exactly the same way khat farmers set the price of cows at your neighbor's auction sale. The fees you pay are used to finance the selling agency in much the same way that the (Community sales barns are fin- anced. Jim Jacklin as Fieldman for ,the ,Ont.

Wiherewas the clean-up committee? 3 un- derstand that the Students' Council President had to ` stay and cleanup(, Why were there so few of students at the dance?

West No Longer Wild and Woolly Joseph Regier, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Regier, who IS visit- ing t- ing'his boyhood home here aft- er an absence often years, says Edmonton has changed m that time from "the wild and. woolly west" to a modern, (hustling city of nearly 400,000 population. It is ten years since oil was discovered at nearby Leduc. The city is spreading out into new subdivisions at the rate of about 4,000 new homes a year. The city has extended seven miles along the highway towards Cal- gary. ;Modern paved highways have replaced the dirt roads in Alberta, surpassing our older Ontario roads. All homes in the city are heated by natural gas, the cost running about, $12.00 a month for the average home during the winter. The lowest temperature this winter was 26 degrees be- low zero. The big ranches are diminish- ing in number and size. Although locaaed on the Sa- skatchewan River, sufficient wa- ter is becoming a city problem. Modern disposal systems have been installed.
