Mrs. M. W. Stapleton, with their
duet number. Little 13 year old Ruth
Teals, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

scored a hit with her .graceful execu-
tion of intricate whirls and spins.
The trio number of Sheila McFad-
den, Marilyn Kling and Jo -Anne

applause, as did the sister act of
Beverley and Gloria Lithgow of

ed Eleanor Weaver, Peggy Willis,

Ilwain, Kathryn Boshart, Lorna Din-
woodie, Pearl McLean, Libbie Rah -

numbers. The sale performances of
11 year old Wayne Gresham were
utstanding, and the precision exhi-
bitions by Ross Smith were well re-
ceived.

Teams Still Winning

ed Wingham 10-8 in overtime in the
first game of the playoffs. Seaforth

beaten teams, Wingham Kinsmen
Bantams and Seaforth Beaver Ban-
tams in the first game for the
championship. These two teams will
hook up again in Seaforth on
Thursday night, Feb. 28.

ed the Southampton Bantams here
9-8 after a breath -taking third per-
iod, At the end of the second period,
the score was 9-3 for Seaforth. In
the last period, Southampton com-
pletely bewildered Seaforth as they
slipped five goals past Walters in
the Seaforth net.

for Southampton, each tallied three
goals. McFadden, Murray, Thomp-

GRAND CHAMPION JR. SERIES
Tie one each.
On Saturday night the Seaforth
Jrs. bowed to Hanover Jrs. 5-3 in
one of the fastest Jr. games in the
WOHA this season. Hanover took
their five goals within twelve min-
utes of the first period and from
then on played defensive hockey to
hold their lead. In the second period
Seaforth started to press but with
the sensational poke checking of the
Hanover Club and the goal tending
of Frizeth kept the puck from their
doorstep. Many times during the
final third period the g&me became
rough and ragged but not losing any
of its speed. Tiernan, Doig and But-
son got the counters for the locals.
The largest crowd of the season
saw (Seaforth Jrs. tie up the Grand
Champion series on Tuesday night
when they dropped Hanover 9-3.
During the first period it was a fast
battle all the .way, with Seaforth
having a small edge of the play.
There was a small exchange of fists
which started the penalties rolling.
Although Hanover tried to poke -
check Seaforth similar to the Satur-
day game, they were unable to hold
the home club in the large arena.
The final score did not indicate the
play as each team played top hockey
and the goal tending of Baker turn-
ed away ,many threatening shots.
The final game o/ the series is be-
ing played in Hanover on Thursday
night. On Saturday this week Grims-
by is playing the first O.H.A. play-
off game in Seaforth.

THE NEW DAYS AND THE OLD
Some folks will say they liked the
old days best;
I've sampled both, and may I here
suggest,
The old days and the new are just
the same,
We might as well admit we are to
blame.
For all these modern days so full of
worry,
Then add to that this everlasting
hurry:
The horse and buggy days of long
ago
Had something on us there, full well
I know.
Of course we know there is no
standing still,
We live, we learn, and profit by our
skill:
So many different things have come
to pass,
Yes, times have changed since we
turned on the gas.
Dear to me still the home, the church,
the school,
`The lovely pond near by, our swim-
ming pool.
The winding road, the mill, the Hal-
lowed ground
Where kinfolk rest beneath that
Sacred mound.
Our teacher, I remember, Archie
Black,
A big man with a strap, I knew its
"whack".
The strap is out, for better or for
worse,
The "New Day" kids have no sore
spots to nurse.
One thing it seems to me we all
should do,
Learn from the old and live it in the
new.
The crowning venture is to be con-
tent,
Then 'we'lI get credit for a life well
spent.
Now what about the old days and
the new?
Well my good friends I don't mind
telling you;
Maybe today I'd fit the old days
better,
And with this word to you I close my
letter.
JOHN BEATTIE.
