HANG UP
LOSE TO MILVERTON
Record Crowd Sees Season's
Final Game Tuesday
in Stratford.
Seaforth Bosharts "lung up their
skates for this winter after the sec-
ond -48034e. in, the Seaforth-1%4ilverton
series, When Miiverton defeated them
4-0 In etratford. Bosharts lost the
first game, also played. in Stratford,
2-1. The secend largest crowd of the
season Caw the game.
The second game in the Intermedi-
ate 'B' 'playoffs went two periods with
toners fairly divided, but when Mil-
verton captured the 'first goal early
in the final period, Seaforth had to
take chances. With all men forward
on the attack, Milverton had 'the op-
portunities for breakaways and cash-
ed in on two of them.
Daily papers summed up the play
as follows;
There was no doubt who were the
outstanding stars of the game, be-
muse, it was the nebeinding of Geo.
Schmidt, of Milverton, and Earl 'Mc-
Nabb, of Seaforth, which brought the
most applause, with the former prov-
ing slightly better thanthe latter,
and to him the Dominions can ex-
tend a lot of credit, for their victory.
Ab Peck and Harry Yost on the Mil-
verton defence, Bobbie Gaul, Don Dale
and Bill Baler up front were the pick
of the winners. For Bosharts, after
Goalie McNabb, the honors should go
to George Shaw, Bill O'Shea, Frank
Ellwood and Jack Roberts.
The .game did not start away as
fast as the first one, and passing was
bad, with considerable shinny added.
Coodrow did not appear in uniform
for Seaforth, andthe veteran George
Shaw was shifted back on their de-
fence.
Bobbie Gaul, of Milverton, had the
t sozwire chance in the first ten
minutes but shot wide of the Seaforth
cage in trying to pick the short side.
George Shaw had George Schmidt in
the Milverton net beaten all the way
on a nice passing play with "Farmer"
McFadden but his shot hit the goal
post. McFadden missed the puck
completely right after that on a. goal-
tnouth pass.. McFadden broke again
with Shaw, while Roberts of Seaforth
was serving a penalty, only to have
Satss •t 4t atepoitablank,
range. ' • ,
•
Seafoyth got the two. penalties of
the period., but there was no scoring,
'due to some erratic marksmanship by
both teams.
When Harry Yost got the thumb
for highsticking early in the second
period, Bosharts turned on the pres-
sure and McFadden missed on his
try to pick the corner, the puck
caroming off the goal post. Yost had
lust returned to the ice when BM
O'Shea Jailed to scoop the puck over
Goalie Schmidt in the Milverton
twine, who had. gone to his knees to
stop the original shot.
At the eleven -minute mark Meyer -
ton took the upper hand, turned on a
power play, and only Earl McNabb
in the Seaforth goal saved Bosharts
from going behind by one -or •two
goals.
Don Dale slapped a pass directly
in front of the Seaforth net, but Mc-
Nabb managed to turn the disk
around the corner. Kennedy took a
pass from Roberts but Schmidt block-
ed the direct shot. Bobbie Gaul pick-
ed up a. long forward .pass from, the
Seaforth goal area, stopped', took aim
and again McNabb got in front of the
hard drive. Play shifted to the Mil-
verton end and Schmidt robbed
O'Shea. Don Dale broke away from
the centre red line, waded in close
but failed to outguess McNabb in the
Seaforth hut.
Milverton continued to press in the
third period, and McNatre continued
to turn in some stellar phck-fending,
but finally at 8:48 Ab Peck beat him
from just :outside the doorstep during
a goal -mouth scramble, after 'Sellable
Gaul and Meyer had batted the disk
to him.
McLean had a glorious chance to
tie,it up at the 12:00 -minute mark, but
Schmidt sprawled into the shot. Rob-
erts and Kennedy both came close
from short range but missed the tar-
get coMpletely.
Seaforth fought back and' were hav-
ing the bulge, as Milverton played it
safely, taking few chances. Gaul had
one of them but lo et the puck after
-checking McNabb.
With Milverton holding the play be-
hind the Seaforth blue line, Bobbie
Gaul picked up Jim Bundscho's loose
puck, and caged it through a maze of
players, to put the Dominions two
Seaforth had three opportunities in
enfick succession but Schmidt did
some calisthenics to keep that old
boot heel out of his cage.

to get back in the game, Milverton

• Annual Lions - Farmers
Meeting.
_'Stressing the necessity for the ex-
reetence of a strong urban rural rela-
tionship if citizens, of a community
are to obtain the most out of life, J.
A. Carroll, superintendent of fairs for
the Province of Ontario, told the an-
aual Teem -Farmers banquet in St.
James' Hall Monday evening, that in
the final analysis this meant only an
appreciation of the problems of the
other fellow.
Too often, he said, a farmer thinks
the teem merchant is having an easy
time because he sees him driving in
a car, or standing behind a counter
doing tte physical work. He ignores
the face" the town men may be carry-
ing burdens far in excess of those of
the farmer. He has a pay roll to
meet; he has accounts to colleot, and
dozens of other problems. On. the
otherhand, the farmer .has to work
long hours; his return is subject to
'weather conditions, and he is short
of help.
Pointing oqt that food can be grown,
for $7..00 an acre in Western Canada
as opposed to $30 per acre in On-
tario, Mr. Carroll said the answer
would appear to be increased mech-
anization, with larger farming units.
Mechanization could increase to the
point where all labor is taken over by
machinery.
However, cheap food does not give
the entire answer. Larger farming
units would 'result in eliminating that
sense of responsibility that goes with
owning one's own land. It would de-
crease the opportunities inherent in
the small farm for rising youth.
Referring to the work of his de-
partment, Mr. Carroll said 252 Fairs
in Ontario received grants. While it
has been suggested there are too
many fairs, no minister has had the
nerve to say cut some out. The suc-
ces.s of a fair must be up to the lo-
cal board. The good fair should be
a show window for the production of
the community. The aim of a local
fair should be a greater number of
local exhibitors—not necessarily ex-
hibits.
The fact that young people leave
the farm may be a good thing, Me
Carroll stated, He 'mad India and
China as examples, where everyone
stayed on the land, and where all
were reduced to serfdom. •
"All classes in a community can
benefit from co-operation. It IA not
necessary to go far away, to achieve
fame and happiness. You will find a
satisfactory happy- and interesting
life right here in Ontario if you take
advantage of the opportunities," Mr.
Carroll stated, and suggested a com-
munity centre as one means of co-
ordinating the pleasures of the com-
munity—both rural and urban.
Gordon McGa.vin was chairman for
the meeting, while the speaker was
introduced by R. S. McKercher, Dr.
J. 0. Turnbull expressed the apprecia-
tion of the gathering to Mr. Carroll.
Ru.ssell Bolton spoke briefly, thanking
the Lions Club for the invitation to
attend the meeting. •Appreciation to

Sudden Flood Strikes
Use Canoe On Flooded
Roads At Winthrop To
Evacuate Family.
Warm spring weather and a driving
ram combined to create flood conda
tions throughout the district on Fri-
day, which inundated large areaaeaud
resulted in many thousands of dollars
loss as culverts were washed out and
roads damaged.
The floods reached their peak late
Friday, and by Sunday, apart from
vrater lying in the lower sectione, con-
ditions had returned to normal.
Winthrop experienced the worst
flood condition in its history on Fri-
day when around noon water started
rising rapidly. By 5 p.m. a raging
torrent was rushing through the ham-
let, inundating the roads to such a
depth that Kenneth Betties was .seen
coming up the highway in his canoe.
The water continued rising so rapid-
ly it soon became necessary for Mr.
Settles and Les. Dolmage to remove
one entire family in their canoe to
higher ground. E. Haase, of Win-
throp, was kept busy towing ,cars
through until he considered it unsafe
to venture with his truck. One motor-
ist had a narrow escape when Ms car
swerved ore the highway and nearly
overturned in the ditch.
In Seaforth the entire southeast
sectiou of town was under water in
places to a depth of several feet. At
noon Friday water poured over Gode-
rich Street at Coleman Street. Fol-
lowing a particularly heavy hour-long
rain early in the afternoon, Silver
Creek rose nearly four feet and pour-
ed over leo. 8 Highway, opposite the
Liens Park. Despite the fact the park
was almost entirely under water for
the greater part of the day, little
damage was done, it was r' ...rated fol-
lowing an inspection Saturday byl

when a culvert west of the farm of

sary to travel three times their ord-

"A structure of the type contem-
