A TRIBUTE TO RETIRING BANDMASTER The Editor Seaforth News, Dear Sir,—At this time on behalf of the members of the Seaforth Highlanders Band we would publicly like to express our appreciation to Mr. E. H. Close who recently re- signed as leader of our band. Al has been leader or member of the band for more years than he cares to remember, always giving his utmost and practically eating and sleeping "band." He is what you would call a true bandsman. Through •many difficult years he has single-handed kept the band to- gether, especially during the war years when he lost most of his ex- perienced players. Never sparing of energy and often times doing things at his 'own expense he kept the Sea - forth band to the forefront and made it a 'credit to our town. Everywhere we went our kilted bandsmen drew loud acclaims and it was largely due to Al. To be a bandsman for over sixty years .means a lot of sacrifice and he ig.'deserving of our heartfelt 'thanks. He has not stopped there however, but has already offered the benefit of his experience to our new leader, Mr. Stan :Smith, who will commence his duties in February. Naturally, we will miss Al around the boardroom and on parade but on the other hand we are glad to see him take a well earned rest. We wish him every success and will not say "Goodbye" but simply "Au revoir" and many thanks Al. Sincerely, Frank Sills, Pros. Seaforth High- landers Band.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE The second half of the double schedule got under way on Tuesday night with -all six teams in action. As usual a large crowd was an hand to see the usual line of entertain- ment which varies at times from boxing matches to milder forms of acrobatics—the greatest show on Earth—for the money. This week Hiram Shannon and Doc Cameron did the whistle work and there was plenty of it on the new icing rule. St. Columban 5, Egmondville 3 The River Rats took it again from St. •Columban to the tune of 5 to 3, although this is a big improvement over the first affair, the Villagers are still lacking something—maybe hockey players. Costello led the Irish marksmen with two goals, Butters, Horne and Jordan each beat Rice for singles, three of these came in the last period. St. C. spent 16 min- utes in the cooler, two minutes to Ron Butters and 4 to Jordan, Cos- tello and Steve Maloney. John Flan- nery, Doig and Bill Brown were the scorers for the Villagers. Penalties went to McNairn, K. Smith, Barry and a pair to Carter. Wanderers 8, Winthrop 1 This game started off fairly even, the Wanderers were leading 3-1 at the end of the second but the last period was too much for the North- ern entry. This was a fast and fur- ious game at times both sides getting their share of penalties. In the first period Allie Hildebrand and Ken La- rone beat Haase, Larone getting a pair. The only goal in the second was by Glen McClure. Ray Cham- bers was helped off the ice after his crash with Tanchuk. Glen Reist set a new sort of a record in this league at least by scoring 3 goals in the first 1i4 minutes of play and got himself another later in the period. Arlie Hildebrand scored again in the third. Tanchuk and Eisler were the badmen for the Wanderers and Win- throp penalties were taken by Glen McClure, Cuthill, Ray Chambers, Don. McClure, Scott, Strong and Betties. Main Street 8, (Foundry 7 Bell Foundry almost succeeded in stopping the unbeaten Main Street- ers in the last and best game of the evening. This was a cleanly played game, the Foundry took three penal- ties and Main St. 4. Goals for Bells' were scored by Broome, Maloney, Broome and Eisler one each and a triple by Ross. Bill Smith couldn't seen to miss the Foundry net, pick- ing it for five goals, maybe this new rule has something to do with his ac- curacy. Chip Woods, Philips and Patterson each scored once. This was a close game all the way but even pulling the goalie in the last minute was not enough for Bell's to win. Penalties were given to Malon- ey and Broome for Bell's and Al- brecht, Sills and Wood for the Mer- chants, NORTHSIDE W. A. Group 1 of the W. A. of Northside United Church met at the home of Mrs. J.
