dates divorcing the party from politi-
cal entanglements.
The resolution read: "That we sug-
gest to the rSocial Credit League that
they do not link up with any poli-
tical `group but do all they can to
encourage any western Federal con-
stituency. Where the local commit-
tee have a good hope of winning a
seat, to place a Social Credit candi-
date in the, field -and that they lend
their support and .co -'operation to

WALTON WINS• IN NORTH
Walton wsn the second game in the
Northern Section play-offs of the
Huron Football League, defeating
Moncrieff by a score of 1-0, making
the final goals on the round 4-1 for
the winners. The football game last.
Thursday night at Walton, which
drew a large crowd, was a listless
struggle as both sides were heavily
checked and both .teams were using
defentive tactics so that the major-
ity of the play was in the centre of
the field.
'In the first half Moncrieff had
the wind in their favor which helped
then considerable, ,giving them the
edge of the play in this period. S.
Ninn almost scored for Moncrieff,
but his shot just, skimmed the top
of the goal post. J. Johnson retali-
ated for Walton; he nearly scored
on a close -in shot but it went wide
of the post.
0. Hoist and D. Warwick, of Brus-
sels, played a good game for the los-
ers. These two players were allowed
to play owing to two of Moncrieff
players being laid up. W. Struthers
for Monerieff played a good game,
stopping several gushes attempted
by the Walton team.
The first part of the second half
both teams seemed to be fighting
harder, but 'did not seem to be get-
ting anywhere, the result was that
inost of the play/vas in the centre
of the field. L./ Steiss and J. Jor-
dan' tried to rough it and were 'both
penalized for two' minutes. Wlhile
thele two players were off, A. Far-
quharson, Walton, scored 'the only
counter in a scramble in front of
Moncrieff's goal. This goal pepped
up the game considerably but it took
the heart out of Monerieff, and Wal-
ton nearly scored again on several of
their rushes down the field.
Walton is the winner of the North
Group and will now be matched With
St. Columban, the winner of.the South
Group.
The teams were as follows:
- Walton—K. Rutledge, W. M. Den -
his. M. Holland, George Love, J..
