The worst failure yet, I think, was the ;home game last Friday with Clinton. It should really have been postponed; be- cause of the weather, but it wa's McKillop Federation ANNUAL MEETING AND BANQUET Northside United Church SEAFORTH TUESDAY, 14th at 7 p.m. SUPPER — TURKEY • Guest Speaker— L.

We couldn't blame the boys for feeling down- hearted. ownhearted. Who wouldn't? Slipping and sliding •around in mud knee- deep, blinded by a cold rain, and a score of 19-0 in Clinton's favor. But Wednesday's performance was another matter. It was a closely -fought game, with Wingham leading 10-0 until the second half of the game. Then our boysi really went to town with Ron Rennie re- ceiving the passes and getting the two touchdowns and two converts. The final sicore was Seaforth 12, Wingham 10. (Hurrah for us!) There will be another game next Wednesday in Wingham. Let's see Treat the family to ci�tl � TRADE MARK REG. BRITISH - KNIT Sportswear - Woollens Ladies' Suits and Dresses (Made -to -Measure) ...

They chose for their performance a selection from the'Shakespearean p 1 a y, " Mill - Summer Night's Dream." The following played those characters: Quince, Elaine Etue; $ottom, Elaine Dale; Flute, Marg.Achilles; Stravelling, Ol.ene Dundas; Shout, Barbara Patterson and Snug by Donna R'hlel. Every- one enjoyed it, especially the way Elaine Dale put so much enthus- iasm into her part. With talent such as this, it shouldn't be too hard to provide a good; program for Commencement, which isn't too far away. The ex -grads were in fairly good condition last Thursday night, in spite of the fact that most of the girl's haven't played basketball for some time.

Jewitt on Monday when the Fire- side Farm Forum gathered for their meeting, witif 20 adults pre- sent. The secretary for this year is Donald ,Buchanan. The topic for this meeting was, "Can We Farmers Run On Shorter Hours?" Following the program, progres- sive euchre was played with the following winning prizes: Ladies, most games, Mrs. George Hoggart; lone hands, Mrs. Alex Riley; con- solation, Mrs. R. Dalton; men, most games, Fern Dexter; lone hands, R. Jamieson; consolation, John Jewitt. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. Wes.

The Legion team will be operating under the Intermsedfate grouping. By dropping Junior play, this has left many of the local Lads oat of the hockey scene for this year, ev- en though the Legion will benefit greatly with increased support. We observed the Intermediate teams in action against --Clinton Wednesday night and have come to a quick decision that this year's hocxey will be as rough, or even rougher, than last season's. The locals were roughing the game up terrifiically, though it was only an, exhibition tilt. Those participating in this game were lucky to survive without injury, as sticks were travelling high and also low . under the skates. Fists started to fly at times, but any actual 'fights were averted by the good referring of two of Seaforth's top referees. Why should hockey become a game where the players go out with nothing but fighting on their minds? Another sport has been created for such fellows, under the titles of boxing and wrestling. This also goes for the fans who con- tinually look for rough play and playing around with the fists. Those wishin to see such performances should attend the fights, and not hockey matches. We recall that not long ago an- other sport died out with the rea- son given as "to,o much rough stuff." This sport was one of the top athletic competitions lacrosse. Hockey is doomed for the same fate if something isn't done to clean it up and make it an athletic competition, and not where a player goes out against another for revenge. A few more practices should loosen up the muscles of the Sea - forth team, who were found "sit- ting down" on the job . . . the ice is to skate on, fellows! Ohairs have been made for sitting pur- poses. Although rough, the showing put on by the locals makes it look as if this season should be a winning• season for Seaforth, as the Legion team heads for victory. e.. It is hoped that all the sports fans in this district will come out and support the 'Intermediates as they enter in the W.O.A.A, pre -53a - son league and the O,H.A. winter league. All money raised by this team will be used by the local branch of the Canadian Legion to promote minor hockey in this dis- trict. Pre -Season League Nov. 10? A special meeting of the W.O. A.A. executive was called Monday evening to discuss the operating of a pre -season league. Represent- � rgkix ftl a toYr.I,„r .,..,i atives were present from twelve teams, as well as the arena man- agers from the five towns whose arenas are equipped with artificial lee. This new venture was en- dorsed by the executive, and it its hoped that it will be operating by November 10, when ice should be available in Seaforth, Goderich, Walkerton, Kincardine, and Wing= barn, where all games will be play- ed. Two groups were formed; of the twelve teams, with a. winner to be declared in each by December 16. The play-offs will be a. best -of -three series between the top team of each group, and should be com- pleted by December 25. A cup is to be given to the winner of this round-robin hockey season. Group 1 of the league will con- sist of Centralia R.C.A.F., Clinton Radar and Communications School, Seaforth Legion, Clinton Town, Goderich and Walkerton, with Hugh Hawkins, Clinton, acting as convener. The other group will consist of Listowel, Walkerton (second entry), Mount Forest, Wingham, Harriston and Kincar- dine. John Bell, Listowel, will be convener. Legion Sponsors Minor Hockey Seaforth Branch of the Canadian Legion are once again planning on sponsoring minor hockey in Sea - forth and district. Like last year, the games will be played every Saturday morning at the arena. All boys, 15 years and under after Nov. 1, desiring to play in these leagues, should leave their names at Sills! Hardware as soon as possible in order that a schedule may be drawn up, W. J. Duncan has kind, ly put up the trophy for Duncan cup hockey, while Tom Beattie :has given a trophy for the Pee -Wee group. Apologies are in order to Mr. M. L. "Tory” Gregg and the W.O.A.A. for certaie statements made in this column in the October 6 issue, re“ garding the umpiring of softball in the girls' leagues. We hope that the article didn't start too much scandal about the W.O.A.A., or ev- en the 'final paragraph about Mr. Gregg. We find that in regard to the um- piring, "Tory" never told the um- pires chow to officiate at their games, and it was left strictly up to them concerning the new three- foot rule. The _statement, by the way, had, regards only to ladies' softball, and not to all leagues, as the umpiring in the men's leagues was of the top type. All we cane. say is, using that well-worn, yet well-known phrase used by "Tory" Gregg: "You'll always win if you, can LOSE with a SMILE." A very good statement if followed by ALL! S. Brenton.

Former Resident Dies in Parkhill The death of a highly respected resident, formerly of this district, in the person of Annie McIntosh, widow of the late John . Mill•s, Blyth, took place at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Walter Buttel, Parkhill, Tuesday morning, Oct. 17, in her 85th year.
