HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
Basketball success this season so
far has not been outstanding. None
of Seaforth High's three cage teams
are meeting with any flashing suc-
cess. In Goderich last Friday, out of
three matches, iSeaforth was only
able to come up with one even.
Close competition in both senior and
junior boys' games resulted in God-
erich wins. Both games were close
all the way, but it was Goderich
that held the extra cards when the
final scores were given.
In the girls' game it was a Sea -
forth victory from start to finish.
It was the early drive of the Sea -
forth team that toppled Goderich,
who at times tried to throw 'off the
Seaforth pressure, but was unable
to do so.
The skating party held last
Thursday night went over with a big
success. Everyone enjoyed them-
selves after the skating when they
went to the school for a short dance
before lunch.
Question of the week: What or
Who is the cause for Wayne's head

SPORT SHORTS
The Merchants went all out on
Monday night to lose their third
straight game. Winthrop was the
team that really capitalized on their
9-6 win, since it was their first vic-
tory this season. With Merchants
weakening and Winthrop gaining it
looks as if the play-offs should be a
close race between these two clubs.
In the second .game, the league -
leading St. •Columban Irish outscored
Egmondville 8-3. The game was
fast and rugged all the way and it
was the snappy pace of the St. Co-
lumban Club that overpowered Eg-
mondville. By this win St. Colum -
ban took the league leader's title for
1952-53. For sometime Merchants
threatened but in the last half of
the schedule St. Columban picked
up.

"The die has
now been cast"
An American manufacturer was planning
to open a plant in Canada. He
considered various locations and found
what seemed a likely site. He talked to
a local bank manager, got facts
aboutthe community and its facilities.
Some time later the company wrote
to the banker:
"The die has now been cast. It is our
intention to locate in S :. We feel
that it is well suited to our particular
operation. You have been of great
aid to us. Your• accurate and rapid
presentation of facts necessary to reach a;
decision was top-notch."
Such letters show how a branch
bank serves not only its own depositors
and other customers but how, by'
assisting business development, it benefits
the whole community.
