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.
