They de- feated Clifford 9-3 and 15-0, before Brussels, who lost the first game 18-7, defaulted the second contest. Although the Flyers iced a club that tfrom completely l et fans ownt ined ed local players, they, received very little support previously complained that they wanted to see their hometown boys in action. Therefore the club could not have carried on were 'for the gallant efforts of the teammanager, Karl Decker, president, Ivan Kalbfleisch and the rest of his executive, and a few interested fans.

With the first week of Stanley Cup play over, it looks as if the Boston Bruins will clash with the defending champion, Montreal Canadiens, in the final. The Canadiens, who won the first three games with the Red Wings will probably polish off the Detroit club in four straight. Meanwhile, the Bruins, who lost their first con- test to the Rangers, before coming back to win the next two, should thee that Bost neGaasi dens because The circuse hasgtakerii oames ver Madisoall be n Squin are Gardens, home of the Rangers.

This looks like a big year for baseball in Zurich. Took In Detroit -Montreal Game A carload of local hockey enthusiasts attended last Sunday night's overtime thriller in Detroit. Highlights of the occasion were: Kennedy's flukey goal for Detroit, the Bailey -Plante collision, a left turn off Grand River, and of course Andre Pronovost's game winning goal. SHIFTS LOOK PROMISING Reports from the Detroit Tiger training camp at Lakeland Floriad show that Harvey Kuenn and Billy Martin are adjusting themselves quite adequately to their new positions of centre -field and short-stop, respectively. American League officials claim that the Tigers will be the team to watch in the 1958 season. The acquisition of Jim Hegan, Cleveland veteran, will definitely help to settle the youthful but promising Tiger pitching staff of Bunning, Lary, Hoeft and Foytack. LUMPS FOR DESERT Bobo Newsome was getting his lumps from the Athletics. The score mounted rapidly and by the seventh inning, the A's showed a 15-0 lead. Bobo came back to the dugout wearing a disgusted look. "What's eating you, Bobo?" asked a teamate. "What do you think?" snarled the angry pitcher. "How can a guy win any ball games if you don't give him any runs?"

Farm For . ms Rally Held. at Exeter Fashion Parade l igh lights Program (By Mrs. Clifford Pepper) Huron County Farm Forums held their annual rally in the South Huron District High School Auditorium in Exeter, on Thurs- day evening, with a fair attend- ance. Mrs. Gordon Greig acted as chairlady and the meeting op- ened with the singing of "0 Can- ada." Each forum was asked to con- tribute a number for the program and to say the least Unique Farm Forum did just that 1 ! ! The ladies of the Unique forum decided to contribute as their number— a fashion parade, and after hur- ried preparation at the home of Herb Klopp, they carefully out- itt^�1 »'r models (being their husbands) for the occasion. Ever- ything from slumber wear to the latest chemise and of course the sack dress were included in the fashions. We dare not forget the lovely bride and her attendants. Truly it was a grand array and much credit is due to the men who so graciously fashioned their an. pares. Mrs. Delbert Geiger com- mented very appropriately on each fashion and the parade was well apnlauded. Other numbers on the program included a one act play by the South Huron Junior Farmers; ac- cordian, piano, and harmonica sel- ections and imnromotu speeches by James Jacklin, Federation of 4riculture fieldman for Ontario and Carl Hemingway, Huron County • Federation fieldman. The meeting closed with the National BIG PALS: Ruth Weido is quite happy on the back of this pet horse, owned by Earl Thiel. Her friend, Dorothy Wagner, likes. riding Just as well as Ruth, so the two girls have to take turns. Just to make sure the horse stays friendly, they carry a supply of sugar cubes in their pockets.
