Raccoon Caught
In Seaforth Tree
A large raccoon, in a tree at
the corner of Main and Railway
streets caused some excitement
on Monday when efforts were
shade by the neighbors to cap-
ture it.
The coon was first noticed
curled up fast asleep in the
crotch of the tree and during
the afternoon boys climbed up
but the raccoon went higher un-
til he got out of 'reach on: the
slender top !branches.
In the evening !Harvey Beuer-
man was successful in catching
it. He shook the raccoon off the
limb and it fell into a tarpaulin
held by neighbors. According to
watchers, the first try failed, as
the coon; scrambled out of the
tarpaulin and back up into the
elm tree,. growling fiercely like
a dog.
The !beautiful animal was lat-
er given to Jake Broome.
Raccoons, like the deer and
foxes, have been growing more
numerous in recent years in this
part of Ontario, and it. is not
uncommon to see them on the
roadsides at night and farmers
tell of their nocturnal visits in
cornfields. -

Hockey Hap'n's
Howie Meeker To Be
At Hockey Banquet
(By W. T. Teall)
While the hockey season has
ended for the boys who played
in the several teams which were
supported by the Athletic Asso-
ciation, namely, Midget. Bent.
am, Juvenile andJr.,for the
Ju e e J
few responsible for 'financing of,
these teams much work lies'
ahead in raising funds to clear
this year's debts and preparing
for another season.
We have arranged for ' the
banquet to be held Thursday,
April 18. txiowie Meeker, coach
of Toronto 'Map'le Leaf hockey
team will be guest speaker and
the Paul !Bros. of Kirkton will
entertain,
To finance this party we have
prepared tickets which we ask
supporters to purchase at 35.00
each. Each player will be asked
to sell one ticket either to a pa-,
rent or a friend who must ac-
company the player from whom
he purohases the ticket. Each
sponsor of a player will be ask-
ed to 'be seated with the player,
see that he is introduced at the
party as to name and which
team he played for. One ticket
will admit player and sponsor
for the banquet, 'These tickets
will be available from minor
players. Anyone wishing to at-
tend who have no player to
bring may purchase tickets from
Baldwin Hdwe., Keating's, Jas.
Stewart or Seaforth Motors.
Ladies will be particularly wet -
come. ..
The response which we re-
ceive in our endeavor to make
this party a success for the boys
will certainly' have much bear-
ing on whether we feel the ef-
fort put into hockey this winter
has been worth while and ap-
preciated. If you are interested
in having hockey in • Seaforth
another year please say so by
supporting us with your pres-
ence at this banquet.
I realize some parents of boys
who play minor hockey will feel
they cannot afford the expense
of attending this party with
their sons, and if any of the
boys who have a ticket to sell
are having difficulty, II will be
glad to help them find a spon-
sor as I have had many requests
from parties interested.
Now our plans for raising
funds to pay our debts. We
have arranged for a fine card of
boxers including the midgets to
be at Seaforth Arena on Sat.,
April 13th. Next week we will
be able to tell you who will be
wrestling, but as arrangements
were only completed on Tues.
we were unable to get a full list
but are assured that four mid-
gets would be here and well
known TV wrestlers. I believe
admission will be 31.00 each.
The financial report will ap-
pear next week on all accounts
to date.
