The gifts will provide memorial rooms for the parents of the two don- ors and at the same time give a big boost to the campaign. Enquiries which have come to campaign headquarters indi- cate there is a broad interest in memorial gifts. Commenting on. he gifts, campaign chair- man K. B. MacMillan pointed out that memorial gifts provide a, recognition of a family, an individual or organization. A suitable plaque will assure permanent acknowledgment of Towners Best Clinton RCAF Seaforth Towners took a clean sweep over the Clinton RCAF team in a scheduled OHA Intermediate "B" hockey game. Played at Seaforth arena Tues- day, the locals ran wild over the visitors, chalking up a 12 2 Jack McLlwaln led the Sea - forth attack with five goals, fol- lowed by Bob Beuttenmiller with. three, and Bill McLaughlin with two goals. Harry Cuming and Ken Doig counted one each. Ken Doig was a keyman in six goals, as he set up the play for half the Seaforth count. 'Seaforth went out in front early in the first and were nev- er bettered by the Clinton team. 04 seven penalties hand-. ed out, six went to Clinton play- ers. End of the first period saw the score at Seaforth 4, Clin- ton 1; second, Seaforth 7, Clin- ton 1. Next Tu e s d a y, Centralia RCAF will provide the opposi- tion for another game at Sea - forth arena. T h e Seaforth Towners have made a good showing so far this season and crowds have average about 200 at each of their home games. Officials are sure that this num- ber should be doubled for the calibre of hockey • that this "home-brew" Seaforth team is providing. In 13 starts they have won eight and stand in a play-off position of fourth place. There are seven games remaining in the schedule, including' two at the local arena.. Let's get be- hind sport in Seaforth and sup- port the intermediate team, as they head for the play-offs.

With one of the worst storms in some years centred in Huron and Bruce, snowplow crews are fighting an epic battle to keep traffic moving. While they have lost a few skirmishes, they have so far won the battle.

High winds and.drivirig snow on Sunday close$ many town- ship roads, but most were in partial use again late Monday. Zero temperatures added to the troubles of road maintenance crews. School buses stayed off the roads Monday, and while most completed their rounds as us- ual Tuesday, all began the re- turn trip early in the after- noon when the storm settled in again. Most rural schools were closed Monday and Tues- day. In Seaforth, street foreman Harold Maloney and his crew have been ahead of the storm, and while banks along streets are at record heights the plows have managed to keep . all streets open. The storm and cold has tak- en a heavy toll of snowplowing equipment. Operators say sev- eral area units became unser- viceable and were withdrawn for repairs during the week.
