CANADA'S FIRST KNOWN ESKIMO CURLERS are shown at Churchill, Man., where they learned the game from Flight Sergeant Bill Beaton, Winnipeg, of the R.CA.F., before flying south to participate in the Manitoba bonspiel. With but a few months curling experience, the Es- kimos have taken quickly to the 'roaring game and show amazing agility on the ice. F/S.

WHISPERINGS (By LEE -HEE) iHMEMMOHNIHIMININIMINIIIM If you were not at the hockey game Saturday night, then you missed one of the best and fastest games seen here this season. Sar- nia had to pull out a win in order to stay in the running, or be elim- inated. From the drop of the puck you knew the way they started to play that the locals were in for a real tough game. It was nip -and - tuck right up to the middle of the third frame, when Sarnia seemed to have just a little more push than -the locals, and thus came out on top. There was a large con- tingent of Sarnia fans to cheer the boys to victory. It was a game well worth seeing, and should Sar- nia take the Hurons in their own port Tuesday night, then you can be sure the game here Thursday night, which will decide the team to meet Sirncoe, will be a 'thriller from start to 'finish, and a-..4..but crowd should be on hand. $ $ In the final standing of the Jun- ior "B's" we note that among the 20 leading scorers, Seaforth had four listed, these being Vena, Mc- Llwain, Shantz and Smith. Other clubs showed Waterloo 4, Simcoe 4, Burlington 3, Owen Sound 2, New Hamburg 1, Sarnia 1 and Wood- stock 1. In the top 20 penalty leaders, Seaforth had two, namely, Bell and Lockridge. Seaforth stood fifth in team scoring with 156 goals and 183 assists, for a total of 339 points.. Should Seaforth meet Simcoe in the next round of the playoffs, here is a comparison over the sea- son's play of the two teams. Sim- coe team scoring was 170 goals, was passed along with road ac- 198 assists for a total of 368 points, counts to a total voucher of $2,- while Seaforth scored 156 goals $2534,on motion of Love and with 183 assists for a total of 339 Hern. Collector reported outstand- ing 1955- taxes now reduced to $5,- 880.00. Council directed that the provin- cial aid to drainage grant of $550.36 and Moir drain and surplus in the drain account of $223.83 be rebated pro rata to the assessed ratepayers on motion of Love and Jeffery. Reeve and Clerk were authorized to sign petition for grant on a to- tal expenditure for road purposes in 1955 of $40,137.02 on motion of Hunter and Love. Council agreed to pay $1.50 boun- ty on all foxes destroyed within SARNIA—Goal, Foster; defence, Ward, Armstrong; centre, Kerwin; wings, Duncan, Haddon; alternates, Spencer, Forbes, Muir, Cote, Hos- kins, McPhail, Stapleton, Vernon.

We leave the rest for you to figure out as to how they will fare in the playoffs. Incidentally Waterloo ousted Woodstock and will likely tangle next with Bur- lington. Hockey seems to be the main topic these days and we find that out of a possible 60 Pee -Wee teams, 37 have already signified their in- tention of entering the Young Can- ada Week at Goderich. Entries as far as St. Johns, Newfoundland, Winnipeg and Temiskaming have entered.

The fidelity bonds were ex- amined, treasurer $3,000, tax col- lector $2,000, and were acceptable to council and directed that they be kept in clerk's office, on motion of Hunter and Jeffery. Corrent accounts in the amount of $1,866.07, including supplies and labor for Hall addition of $1,33058 were passed for payment.

(Smith) forth and district, but during the past week we had many variations from thaws to snow, rain, sleet, and snow again. However, each day now is bringing us closer to Spring. T T Reading over the Council report it is a matter ,of satisfaction to note at last that some thought has been given to getting rid of that treacherous parking problem along Goderich Street West. Many times have I, and others too, had to stop or we just squeezed through in the traffic along this main high- waY with parked cars all along the way. It was not so long ago that a parked car was smashed up on this thoroughfare. How others escaped is because the driving public took precautions by waiting out oncoming cars, etc. If this is a highway, then there should be no cars parked, even if the road is widened three feet. Home owners and \ businesses along the rbadway all have drive- ways, and that is the proper place for any car. It is to be hoped the Department of Highways will approve the ban proposed at the last council meeting. Everyone in town and, those driving through, can plainly see that the roadway alone is narrow enough, but when cars are parked there it is doubly narrower. Let us hope that the parking habit tat this thoroughfare will !Miff% this summer and make Safer driving pOssible. 8 a.m. This order will be strictly enforce accordance with the Highway TraTe Section 43, Subsection 9. Notice is Hereby Given that the Municipality will not be responsible. y for any damages, caused to parked vehicle* as the result of snow removal operations.
