As the Sea - forth eleven is composed of a young bunch of players too much is not ex- pected of them If they can hold their own this year they will have gained somethiug. The Athletic As- sociation is trying to build , up a team that will be able to carry on next year and put up a fight for the championship. They will, however, 'endeavour to get a play-off berth this year and might even be a strong contender for the Cup. The games they have played were keenly con- tested and the locals showed plenty of energy and speed, but lacked a lit. tle teamwork.

Outlining the business of the se- sions, Mr.. Sweitzer paid particular attention to the fact that the gdv- ernment had reduced its contribution to 'the Children's Shelter inspector's salary by $500. At a meeting of t'he committee he had suggested that the county should make up the deficit un- til the status of the society was rais- ed to warrant an increased govern- :m'ent grant. Speaking of the rate,' the warden stated that it would be up to• the council to decide whether or not it would pay the entire 1934 highway bill ,'"OT half of it.

The Membership Committees are now canvassing for memberships in the Seaforth• Athletic Association and I am informed that their .early en- deavours have ^been most gratifying, everybody, seemingly just waiting the opportunity to join. I trust that all those approached will join and help the good work along, also at- tend the games and support the boys. A good crowd is most encouraging to the players, 'It 'has been observed that during the games already played, a number of persons from both the country and town elim'bed over the fence at points that were not cowered by the ticket collectors; others were observed standing or sitting in their bars look- ing at the game from outside the field. I would point out to these per- sons who are viewing the game and not paying any admission, that these games are not free and admission is charged and payable at the gate, and 1•: appeal to the instincts of sports- manship in these persons to be fair and pay admission and see the games from the inside. It costs money to run these !games and consequently people watching the games without paying admission are not being fair either to the players or the town.— John J.

If the village council and Chamber Board of Commerce work Well to- gether, it will help to perfect plans for the coming Old • Boys' Reunion, which will be in about three weeks' time. The providing of a wide and safe roadbed between the Main street and the park will be •a right step in the right way, and will greatly expedite the coming in and going out of the large crowds that will throng, both in the day time and night hours.
