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.

Got Cash For
`Wild Carrots
It is seventy years since Tom
Aldington, North Main Street,
to work in England as a
gardener. 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. She mentioned
that a Mr. Thomas Grieve,
formerly of Seaforth, is a neigh-
bor.
,Letters have also been re-
ceived from as far away as
.Nova Scotia as a result of an
article by Mr. Aldington about
herbs in a national magazine.
