Gordon McKenzie, of Mc- Killop, is using the same Christmas thee this year as last. As the tree appeared in good condition last year after Christmas, she put it away in the storeroom. The other day she found it was still good and decided to use it for the second year. This is remarkable. In most homes it is a problem to get the Christmas tree to last through one Christmas sea- son. Too often when the time comes to take down the tree after New Years, the needles fall off in show- ers leaving only a skeleton.

This was Seaforth's second straight win. over the Lucan Club. _. By falling to the Sarnia Sailors 3-1, on Saturday night, the Baldwin iTTS. went down for their fourth straight defeat. Although they were toppled under by two goals, the game was far from one-sided._ in the first period Seaforth's de- fence collapsed and Sarnia kept Gar Baker busy in the • Seaforth nets. The second period took . a quick change and Seaforth poured the rub- ber at Jack Oyden, who came up with some sensational saves in guarding the Sarnia forts It was during the second period that tempers got hot and after a, number of mix-ups five were sent to the. sin -bin to cool off. Third period collapses proved fat- al for Seaforth when two quick goals just after the halfway mark put the game on ice for the driving Sarnia team. It was the star per- formance of 'Keith Lamorie that brought Sarnia their second victory over Seaforth.
