Seaforth Juniors won the sectio
in their best -of -five series wwt�}.
-Blenheim, in Blenheim, Monday
night. The third game is being
played here Saturday night.
In the Monday game, Seaforth
came from behind to win 6-4. The
Blenheim Wildcats battled the vis,-
itors right down to the wire as
Seaforth needed a late three goal
third period rally to come from
behind a 4-3 deficit to win out.
Seaforth 6, Blenheim 4
Seaforth nosed out Blenheim
Wildcats 6-4 here Saturday night.
Although the 'Cats had a 4-1 lead
r in the middle session, Seaforth
broke loose in the final minutes of
the game to win out.
The brilliant goal tending of B.
Summers in the' Blenheim net,
was the only obstacle preventing
Seaforth from pushing ,the score
higher. Summers made 43 saves
in the game, while his mates test-
ed Ron Salter in the Seaforth cage
26 times.
Both clubs skated and checked
hard in the second frame with
both clubs taking advantage of
the possition's penalties. Seaforth
outscored the visitors 2-1 in this
period. Tom Salter carried the
mail in the final period. The
speedy right winger notched two
goals and set up a third. It was
Salter's play -making that brought
the Baldwins out atthe hole.
Heavy Snow, Wind
Makes Driving
Hazardous
Seaforth district, in common
with large parts of Ontario, ex-
perienced old-fashioned winter
weather over the weekend.
Heavy snow, falling steadily
Saturday and accompanied by high
winds, reduced visibility to a mini-
mum and made driving hazardous.
While some township roads were
closed for short periods, traffic
was general throughout the dis-
trict as soon as visibility improv-
ed.
The storm continued intermit-
tently and on Wednesday heavy
wet snow was falling. Higher tem-
peratures, however, resulted in
the snow packing.
Hullett Native,
Dr. W. J. R. Fowler
Passes in Guelph
One -of Canada's foremost veter-
inary educationists, Dr. W. J. R.
Fowler, 79, died Sunday in Guelph
General Hospital.
Next month he would have
marked his 56th year as a mem-
ber of the faculty of the Ontario
Veterinary College. He had serv-
ed under O.V.C.'s five principals
and outlived four of them. More
than 4,000 students attended his
classes.
Until a few days ago, when he
became ill, Dr. Fowler was lec-
turerand _consultant in the divi-
sion of surgery and clinics.
Many times during his career
his services were sought outside II
Canada. He performed opera-
tions on some of the world's most For ®Id B
famous horses. L�1
He was honored by the govern-
ment of France with the Cheval-
ier du Merits Agricole. The

This Week A11 the Seatorth District High School
(By SHEILA McFADDEN)
On Wednesday, Feb. 9, Seaforth
girls were host to the Clinton girls,
while the Clinton boys were host
to the Seaforth boys. Of the four
games which were played, Sea -
forth had the pleasure of only one
win, while Clinton took the re-
maining.
The Junior girls defeated the
Clinton girls 20-11. Marlene Ross
was the junior high scorer, with
11 points to her credit; Isabel Lyd-
diatt 4, Faye Ross 2, and Ann
Sinclair 3 points, all of which were
free throws.
The Senior girls were mowed un-
der by a 25-9 defeat. The points
for that game were : Sills 4, Mc-
Fadden 2, Roobol 2, Rhiel 1.
The Seaforth Senior boys really
took a walloping when Clinton
handed them a very rough 62-14
defeat. McMichael was high scor-
er for the seven -man team, with
7 points; Millson and Sloan, 2
each, and Smith 4.
The Junior's score wasn't quite
so bad, with Clinton getting 33
points to Seaforth's 17. McFadden
was high scorer for the juniors,
with 9 points, Scoins and Mason
both 3 each, and Thompson and
Melady, 1 each.
The Valentine dance on Friday
night was well attended for the
stormy night. Everyone seemed to
have red on, even if it was only a
small red heart pinned on a blouse
or sweater. The orchestra really
livened things up from their ver-
sion of Jimmy Durante to the
Birth of the Blues. The elimina-
tion dance was won by Ruth Pin -
der and "Snick." Arlene Diegel
and Bill Strong were the winners
of the lemon dance, with natural-
ly the lemon as a prize. Annette
Townsend and Peter Van Der
Vliet walked away with the prize,.
for the spot dance.
fi t
The annual Variety Night will
be held Friday night,' March 18.
What will be done at this variety
night remains to be seen. How-
ever, I'm sure it will be well worth
the work put into the organization
of it,
Peter Spittal gave his report on
the prices- and size of flags which
the Students' Council were think-
ing of buying. It was decided to
let Peter go ahead, using his' own
judgment on the purchase of them.
Also at this meeting the question of
whether or not outsiders should
be allowed at the school dances
arose, and it was decided to send
invitations to ex -students, or peo-
ple in town who would like to come
and let them present the invita-
tion at the door. Whether this will
solve the problem remains to be
seen.
On Monday the students at the
High School were all tested for
TB. It was really amazing the dif-
ferent means and ways which
were tried to escape the needle.
But, nevertheless, there are other
places for needles other than arms
or legs.
