Twenty stitches were re- quired to close the wounds, but it failed to recover. The little fellow had been a pet of the family for nine years. West of Main street another pet dog was rescued from ,a similar large, black dog, only by quickly put- ting it inside the house, as the brute kept jumping up and try- ing to snatch her dog from the lady's' arms. Police and town officials say there is no law to take .action about these killer dogs, until a person or baby is attacked. Last year a local policeman said a baseballttut was a handy de- fenoe -'°weapon against 'these blood -crazed dogs if they come on ' your property. Ownerless stray dogs, from out of town, are blamed.

Bell Heads TB Association At the annual meeting of Huron County TB Association inr'Clinton on ;Monday .night, the tfoll'ovving officers were elected: Hon. Pres., Judge Frank Fing- land; Hon. Treas., H. C. Law- son; President, Elmer D. Bell, Q:C.. of Exeter; Vice Pres;, H. Glenn Hays, fQ:C., of ,Goderoeh; Executive Sec,-Treas., Mrs, J. B. Russell, !Seaforth. Reports showed the most suc- eessful year for the (Christmas Seal camrpaign, with a total re- ceived of $11,666.00. In previ- ous years a grant was received from the county council to the fund; but the association last year had informed the county council a grant" would not be necessary. This increase over the previous' year is therefore more notable because it does not include the usual county vent The !mass survey •conducted in the county last year showed the largest percentage of increase in the number of people 'attending,. over the previous survey in 1952,,of all the counties in the province that had a survey with- in the last six years. However, ;the Huron TB As- sociation is not satisfied with the number, and hope by an en- larged educational program to have even •a !better survey in 1960. Emphasis will Ibe made that the ntmn,ber of older :people attending those surveys is dis- appointing, as attendance ` had been of the "younger people. The nem of the survey is just as important among the older peo- ple, as there is getting to he more TB in the older age group. MRS. KEITH M.

Teall) I wish to thank all who pur- chased tickets to our sports night dinner and helped make it a success by taking a minor hoc- key player with them. There were over 150 attended the ban- quet and every boy who played hockey under the Athletic As- sociation was given the oppor- tunity of attending. 3 have beard many remarks that they enjoyed themselves and were well satis- fied with the evening's enter- tainment. I have not had time to prepare a financial statement this week either for the banquet or the boxing to date, but will see that one is ready for next week's paper. I ,believe that to date we 'have made approximate- ly $300.00 to be applied on our debts. We are planning on a large attendance on May 15th to our King Ganant Show so please let's have your support on this evening. I am certain you will get good value for the $1.00 ad- mission we are charging and al- so you will be helping out our c'anlpaign to raise funds for our minor sports program. We are going to a great deal of effort to prepare the arena for this show. We are at present spending every spare moment in cutting or hanging penants over the floor area. We are planning on scrubbing and waxing by .hand all the dance floor area that the floor will be in good 'condition for the ones who wish to dance after the entertain- ment part of the program is over. Please let's all get behind this effort on our part to raise the funds needed. We are spend- ing not hours but days in pre- partition. We are only asking you to spend $1.00 for a show that in the city would cost at least 32.00. Regarding the wrestling which we have had to date our first night was very successful, but the second crowd was only half as good, .but as we have no guarantee to pay we did not lose money. We were not at all pleased with the first two bouts on the last might and to this end we have decided to do our own promotion work and bring in the wrestlers we want, to give you a good evening of wrestling. We were fortunate that we se - 'cured our own license to put on the wrestling so we are not tied to 'any one group of wrestlers. On Saturday, May 11 we have a full card of heavy weight wrest- lers, alLwell known in U. S. wrestling,' and we can assure anyone attending they will see one of the best evenings of wrestling' ever put on in this district, and the geature bout will he a tag team match :be- tween Killer Chri-sitie of Detroit with Don Evans of Chicago against Geno Marconi of Italy with Bill Milby of Chicago. This is a grudge bout carried over from the last might when Geno 'Marconi accidentally bit +the re- feree and was disqualified giv- ing the match to Killer Christie and his partner. This boat alone will be worth the price of ad mission, but in :the first match we have +Sheik. Ali 'Bay of Ara- bia against Larry Chartier of France and in the second bout we have Tony Barone of Mexi- co, 230 pounds, against Fredie Rodley, 220 pounds,' of Buffalo: We have arranged for a referee to be' on hand appointed by the Athletic (Commissioner that all bouts may be +handled .fairly, thus assuring you of •a ,good- night's entertainment. Let's have a good tura out for this evening on Saturday, May 11 at Seaforth Arena, admission $1; children 50 cents,ringside seats $1.50. - Next week a financial state- ment for sure. 40th Anniversary of Staffa Couple Mr. and firs.
