Zurich Citizens News, 1967-09-07, Page 8PAGE EIGHT toy ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS ORPERATON TREES — Probably one of the biggest tree trimming and cutting operations in many years is under way in Zurich at the present time, as almost every tree in the village is receiving some sort of attention. Those with rot in them are being cut down, and the ones interfering with hydro wires are being trimmed well. The main operation - is being done by a firm of tree experts from Sarnia, assisted by local public utilities and public works employees. Delay ' `ebate on 1966 Wheat Cr11 A carryover of one million bushels of 1966 crop surplus Ontario winter wheat coupled with a very weak demand for wheats of all kind in world markets has resulted in a de- lay in the rebate normally sent to Ontario producers at this time of year. The Ontario Wheat Produc- ers' Marketing Board announc- ed last week that it anticipates a rebate on the 1966 crop of wheat but that this rebate can- not be calculated until that year's stocks of wheat have been sold. The announcement was made following a board meeting held in Toronto on Thursday, Au- gust 31. at which an audited statement of the board's 1966 fiscal year's operations was re- viewed. Of the 2,837,000 bushels of surplus 1966 crop wheat pur- chased by the marketing board one million bushels of it has not been sold. This condition is not normal for the Ontario board, as it has always been possible in the past to clear out all current year's stocks of wheat by the crop year end June 30. This year, the board has been hard pressed to find overseas buyers. Interest for Ontario's type of wheat, of the soft win- ter variety used mainly for cake and pastry flour, has been extremely slow on export markets. About the only significant sales made out of last year's surplus owned by the board in- volved a total of 771.000 bush- els shipped to Pakistan and Turkey last October under fed- eral food aid programs. The board of directors in ses- sion issued instructions that as soon as the ,carryover stocks are sold, that the amount of rebate be calculated and that cheques be sent to growers as soon as possible. In addition to last year's carryover wheat, the Ontario Wheat Board has purchased about two and a half million bushels of 1967 crop wheat and this is now in store ings = ose OBA Series dkesport in Two Ga es The Zurich Kings bowed out of OBA competition over the past week -end when they lost two straight games to the pow- erful Wilkesport Warriors. In the chemical valley community on Saturday afternoon they came out on the short end of a 6-5 nine -inning marathon, and then back in Zurich on Sunday afternoon they were beaten 7-4. The locals will still be com- peting for the championship of the Huron -Perth baseball league and play Mitchell in the first round. First game of the series will be played tonight (Thurs- day) in Mitchell, with the sec- ond game scheduled for Zurich next Tuesday night. Wilkesport 6—Zurich 5 In the Saturday game the local saw a 5-4 lead disappear in the last of the ninth, as they were leading at various inter- vals throughout the nine inn- ings. Wilkesport took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, and then the local came back to tie the score in the fourth. In the last of the fifth the home team went another run up, only to have the Kings roar right back with two big runs in the first of the sixth. In the last of the sixth the Warriors scored another to knot the score at 3-3. Both teams scored one in the eight, and then in the first of the ninth Don O'Brien scored what looked like the winning run when he reached first an an error, advanced to second on another error and scored on. George Haggitt's single. The roof feel in for Zurich in the last of the ninth, when Wilkesport scored the tying run with one out, and the win- ning run with two out. Robert McNaughton worked on the mound for the locals, and was in complete control almost all the way. He was in trouble once in the second inn- ing when the Warriors banged out three singles and a home xrar ;x,li run, but only managed to score one run on the rally. He went along smoothly never giving up more than one hit in an inning until the last of the ninth, when the roof fell in. After giving up three singles and allowing the tying run to score in the last inning, he was relieved by Dick Bedard, who was promptly tagged for a single and the winning run. McNaughton gave up 12 hits throughout the game, but kept them well scattered with the exception of the second, and disastrous ninth innings. He struck out five and walked only three. Top man with the willow for Zurich was Hal Flaro, who banged out three 'safeties in four trips to the plate. George Haggitt and Doug O'Brien each hit safely twice, while Bob Johnston, Don O'Brien, Bruce Horton and Phil Overholt ac- counted for the other Zurich safeties. Wilkesport 7—Zurich 4 Six big runs in the seventh inning was all :the Wilkesport crew needed in the second game of the series on Sunday afternoon. They scored their one other run in the fifth. Don O'Brien, on the mound for the locals had little trouble with the visitors most of the way, with the exception of the fifth and seventh innings. In the fifth he gave up two dou- bles and a single to allow one run, and in the seventh the roof fell in for the six Warrior runs. He gave way to Jim Pfaff in the seventh, who finished the game allowing two hits. O'Brien struck out five and Pfaff two. Phil Overholt was the big star in the losing cause, as he banged out three hits infive times at bat. Bruce Horton and Robert McNaughton both hit safely twice, while Don O'Brien, Dick Bedard and Hal Flaro ac- counted for the extra blows. t; RED CROSS LOOD DONOR Zurich Centre THE AY .w� - CLINIC Monday, September 11 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. AVE IN 111 U .Y' f- t trw,ty4 The Kings left a total of 12 men on base, while the visitors left only six.
