RIPLEY REDMEN
TIE WINGFIAM
The Ripley Redrnen in an exhibi-
tion match on: Fiiday evening last
at the Wingbam Arena, before the
smallest crowd of the season, pulled
out with a tie of 4-4 after having
the lead all through the game. The
heavy ice made fast playing imposs-
ible while kicking the puck and loaf-
ing were much in evidence.
In the first period shortly after
play commenced Wingham secured
the first goal but were held score-
less the balance of the period while
the Rednten bulged' the net for
three. The locals were the only ones
to score in the second period. At
the start of the third period the vis-
itors scored again, giving them a 2 -
goal lead. It was then that the lo-
cal boys got down to business and
for a few minutes had the Ripley
goalie dizzy stopping shots, and be-
fore time was called had tied up the
score 4 -all.
Only three penalties were handed
out, Ripley getting them all, one go-
ing to Ferris and the other two to
Bowers. We seldom refer to the
poor sportsmanship of any individ-
ral player, and when one receives 2
penalties, serves about half of one
and refuses to take the other, we
o not believe much is necessary, it
speaks for itself.
The line-ups were:
Wingham—Goal, L. Browne, def-
ence, H. Mitchell, K. Somers; cen-
tre, J. Brackenbury; wings, M. Rae,
B. Fox; alternates, R. Rae, H,
Browne, W. McDonald, W. Gurney.

ister of Agriculture, that in view of
the cutting down of expenditures

ment's reduced income, and also by
reason of the fact that the Domin-

Branch of the Department, we are,
therefore, obliged to cancel all field
crop competitions during the season
of 1932, Please acquaint the mem-
bers of your Agricultural Society.

OBITUARY
Edwin Bennett
A well -know farmer and live -stock
dealer, Mr. Edwin Bennett, • passed
away Tuesday night, March 22nd, et
his late residence. Mr. Bennett had
been suffering from stomach trouble
for some months past.
Born in Howick Township forty-
eight years ago, he resided there
until taking up a farm in Turnberry
about nineteen years ago where he
lived until his death.
He was well regarded by all who
knew hien, always being fair and.
honest, but a shrewd buyer. He will
be greatly missed in the community.
Surviving him are his widow,
three sons and two daughters, Ken-
neth, Robert, Richard and Miss
Laura, at hone, and Miss Fern, of
Detroit. He also leaves to mourn
him, six brothers and one sister:
Thomas of Fordtiieh, Mrs, Waters,
Fordwich, George of Wroxeter and
John, Joseph, Richard and William
in the West.
After a short service at his late
residence the funeral service was
held at St, James' Anglican Church,
Wroxeter, on Friday, when a large
'umber gathered to pay their last
respects, Rev. R. S. Jones, the rec-
tor, conducted ,the services assisted
by Rev, Win, Finlay of the United'
Church.
During* the interment the Orange
burial service was conducted by the
Wroxeter Lodge of which he was .x
member. Several members from
lodges of the district were inattend-
ance. The pail -bearers were all n.
phews of the deceased.
