bruises when she was trampled by

phy, emblematic of the Cliampion-
ship of the Huron Football League,
will be decided at a meeting of the
executive of the association called

played Tuesday night to Winthrop.
St. Columban and Winthrop had
each won one game in the final
series. The Tuesday night game
turned out to be one of the most
exciting in the long history of the
Stephenson cup finals.
Winthrop scored the first goal
on a penalty kick by R. Dolmage
in the first half. In the second half
St. Columban scored twice. With
about ten minutes to go, the game
ended in confusion when a penalty
kick was awarded Winthrop. When
St. Columban protested and failed
to go on with the play, Referee
Wahl awarded the game to Win-
throp.

FIREFIGHTING
EQUIPMENT HERE
NOW STANDARD
There will be no need to alter
Seaforth firefighting equipment to
conform to the national 'standard,
according to Fire •Ohief John P.
Scott. Hose and coupling used
here are standard size, he said:
The program is being, undertak-
en jointly by the Federal and Pro-
vincial Governments. All nose
equipment will be standardized at
21 inches in diameter, a.nd coup:,,,
lings at 3% inches diameter with
five thread's to the inoh. All aux-
iliary connecting equipment will`"
also be standardized.
As a result of standardization,
all available fire -fighting equipment
of neighboring municipalities can
be used in fighting large fires. At
present, in many cases, this can
not be done, except with the ury@.r;
of adapters.
As well as meeting this tradi-
tional problem in fire fighting,
the standardization program will
strengthen the civil defence organ-
ization. In times of lire disaster,
including those that may be caus-
ed by enemy air attack, all the fire
fighting equip ent may be called
upon and it ust be able to be
connected to a hydrant or to any
other equipme ; on the scene, The
standardizatiofi of equipment will
be of particular advantage to bor-
der municipalities which will be
able to interchange with neighbor-
ing United States centres.
