First For Huron The last time Seaforth took the finals in the Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" was in 1941 when a five -game series with Paisley ended in victory for the locals. The team had advanced to the finalswith a winover the Paris "B" team. This was the first time that an Ontario OHA "B" Champion- ship had come to Huron Coun- ty. , Members of the winning team were: goal, Hal Stade; defence, Archie Hubert, Al. Hildebrand; centre, Ralph McFadden; wings, Len Nichol, Frank "Timmer" McEwan; alternates, R. "Punch" McEwen, Ken Pickett, Cy Proc- tor, Frank Sills, Bob Draper, Jack Nicholson and. manager Lorne Dale. In the previous year, 1940, °the team advanced to the finals, meeting Whitby, but lost this serres • in three games. The team, a report from The Exposi- tor of that day, states, "travel- led 700 miles in five days and played three games, and all this was to Whitby's advant- age." The report went on to say: "While the Beavers did not win the championship, they did something that no other Seaforth hockey team ever ace complished, and that was to go through to the provincial fin- als." The following year they did it again and won, but since that time until now, a team from .Seaforth has not been success- ful in reaching the all -Ontario playdowns. In the Saturday match with Milverton, a crowd of 1400 packed the rink and saw Tom Dick put the game out of reach at 7:40 of the extra period. Doig and Dick each scored a goal in regulation time. Both Milverton goals were scored by Ab, Martin.

Card& Wins8thItt t As Huron ` esists Tren Huron voters, like others in Western Ontario ridings, resist- ed the national trend and re- turned Elston Cardiff, Conserva- tive candidate, to his eighth election victory at the polls here Monday. It was the fifth consecutive time since the new briding of Huron was created lin 1952 that he had won for the Conservatives. both men received 58 votes. Of the 26,077 eligible voters, about 21,881 cast ballot in the riding. This represents a little more than 60 per cent of the voters. While In unofficial returns, the 74 - year -old Morris Township farm- er defeated Gordon McGavin by 2375 votes. Totals revealed i by returning officer R. T. Bol- ton gave Mr. Cardiff 12128 votes and Mr. McGavin 9753.' ' The first poll to report nine minutes after voting stopped was No. 5, Hullett, and it gave Mr. Cardiff 31 votes and Mr. McGavin 16. Mr. McGavin in further early returns moved ahead, but as returns continued to come in his lead vanished., When 50 polls had reported, Mr. Cardiff led 3,871 to ,3,000. Mr. McGavin conceded at 8:30. Arrangements for recording the vote were worked out by Returning Officer Bolton and Election Clerk W. E. Southgate, and resulted in. a smooth work- ing organization. Mr. McGavin gained majori- ties, in Seaforth, Tuckersmith, McKillop, Hibbert, Grey, Hay and Zurich. There was only one tie, and this occurred in Grey 7, where Seaforth Stores Adopt Sommer ShoppingHours Seaforth stores will remain open Thursday evening preced- ing the Good _ Friday holiday.
