Hockey Hapn's By Bill Teall That all town and rural cust- omers who are interested in hockey may know what is hap- pening regarding hockey in Sea - forth, we 'hope to carry under the above heading a 'weekly re- port on not only Junior "B", but also the minor hockey teams sponsored under Junior "13" contract. To "B" or not to "13" was the question. Most interested know by now that two public meetings were held last week attended by the usual group of 30 odd. The group unanimously agreed we needed hockey to help maintain our local com- munity centre which has been such an asset to us not only as a winter sports centre, but also for our ever-growing fall fair and many social activities. The problem then was how to continue with the high grade of hockey which we have had the past few years in Junior "IB" hockey. A vote on the questions was given in favor continuing since we had •been approached by Chicago interests with a view of sponsoring Junior "13" hock- ey in Seaforth. "Who and How" The ,big question now was who would undertake such a task and how could it be financ- ed. All were agreed it would not carry itself without much help, 'both financial and physical as we were unable to start again without taking over some $2500 deficit from last year's opera- tions, as all were agreed these 'would be [a (black mark on Sea - forth hockey, if not cleared up. Certainly no one was anxious or even willing to take on such a job, but a motion nominating John Baldwin and myself as a committee with power to acid such members as we find willing to help was carried and both above parties agreed to give it a try with plenty of promised support from all in attendance. The question of how to raise funds to meet immediate and future needs. :Many ways and means were suggested, but fin- ally the plan agreed upon ,was to sell 600 draw tickets at $10 each or three for $25.00 with a draw to take place at each of the first ten home Junior "B" games for a 3100,00 prize each night. The winning ticket to be returned to the drum for the next draw. These tickets are now available. Anyone wishing to assist may purchase tickets or get a 'book of six tickets to sell at Baldwin Hardware or Seaforth Motors. Future Plans We are determined that all our operations shall be made public as we feel this has to be a community project if it is to become a success, To this end, we propose to publish each week not only a report on what has taken ,place during the week in hockey, but also a financial re- port on money taken in and how and where it has been spent. We, of course, understand many may disagree with our management, but rave sincerely intend to make decisions only which we feel are best suited for the purpose on hand. Next week we will report on money received on our draw tickets and any expenditures shade, also on our trip to New Hamburg on Wednesday when our Season schedule will be drawn up and on a proposed trip to St. Catharines, Chicago hockey camp, to view players if our application with Chicago is confirmed. Our coach will be Joe Mavity of Stratford. Have just been handed a cheque for $50.00 by a faithful fan for our first six ticket sale. Anyone knowing the wherea- bouts of prospective Junior "13" players in neighboring commun- ities please ask them to come to our school, as we. are plan- ning to use just as many local or near local boys as is !possible and still have a contending team. Following a meeting with the arena commission it has been decided to start at once to put ice in, that practices may begin at once. MCKILLOP GROUP MEET (Mrs, R. 43.

His father svns a landscape gardener. "I got three bob a day plant- ing potatoes," Mr. - Aldington says, explaining that would be about 75e in -Canadian money. n Now in his 83rd year, Mr. Al- dingtovied for top honors in the vegetable exhibit at Sea - forth fair this year. For many years Mr. Aiding - ton collected and sold herbs to firms in the cities while liv- ing on his farm at Cromarty. He has been told he was the first person in these parts to re- ceive money for that all -too -pre- valent weed, the wild carrot. A Montreal firm paid good moneyfor years for wild carrot tops, along with numerous other herbs. Recently he found a plant in his yard on North Main Street, which he had never seen before, and sent a sample to the Dominion botanist at Ot- tawa who supplied the name. If it proves to be marketable, Mr. Aldington intends to grow more. A few weeks ago a letter ar- rived from a lady at 'Monetville, Ont., who is also interested in gathering herbs.
