RED CROSS NEWS It is very gratifying to note that the various units of the Society and auxiliary groups and organizations continue the work of raising funds for the Red Cross activities. The Red Cross workers never seem to tire. They never have to be urged. Some have the ability to raise mon­ ey by various projects. Others knit or sew or quilt almost cease­ lessly. It is a magnificent combina­ tion. The money must be raised to buy the materials and then the ma­ terials must be made into the fin­ ished articles. You have read the accounts of the many articles pro­ duced each month, but did you ever look in on the women at the Lib­ rary oh packing day? They are a busy bunch, and the piles of goods will surprise you. For a year and a half these women of ours have never let up, but rather they have increased their speed from month to month. They will never let up; they ask for no thanks; but we do like to offer them a word of ap­ preciation once in a while. J. R.

Howey. ^The Campaign, ^^Qom^ittee . is greatly encouraged when ahTeideriy lady> calls on a member and says, “I have only a little .income, but I want to do something. I will pledge $1.00 a month.” Another one says, “I Want to sign for $2.00 a month.” A $45 a month working man says, “Make out my pledge for $16.0’0 a month.” A woman on domestic service says, “I want to invest $8 a month.” What wonderful en­ couragement for the committee and for tihe canvasser! But how dis­ appointing when calling at a well- to-do home, and the .householder says, “I haven’t made up my mind,” or ‘‘I can take only a little,” when you know he ’Could purchase ten times as much and never feel it. If some people would try to’do some canvassing themselves, they would make it easier for tlhe other fel­ low when he calls on them. Is it any wonder that sbme canvassers get weary, and disappointed, and have to be urged to complete their route. They know that the person they call on should be just as inter­ ested in the campaign as they are. It is these disappointments that make a campaign drag out so long. It should not take six weeks to do a one-week job. You cannot win a war that way. in spite of all this we want to say a good word for some of the canvassers. Some have been very successful. They walked from home to home, even in the country. They have called a second and a -third time, when people have been away. That kind of a worker could not be anything else but successful. We want to write this week of the district outside of Exeter. In some parts the weather delayed the start, but all are now at work. Few re­ ports have been made to Mr. May, however. Undoubtedly -the various committees are finishing the can­ vass before reporting. Fledges re­ ceived should "be in before the 15th, 'so that they can be distribued to the Banks and Rost Offices. Several canvassers in Usborne Township, in­ cluding Oentralla, have reported and they did a fine job. Seven canvas­ sers alone secured 129 pledges for $543 a month, besides cash pur­ chases of $1175. If the balance of Usborne and the whole of Ste­ phen and part of Hay do as well, the district will go over the objec­ tive of $2,000 a month in pledges. Exeter lhas now over 300 pledges for more than $1600 a month, be­ sides $6,000 In cash purchases With some good people still waiting to make up their minds and Some can­ vassers to complete their work, HOCKEY Exeter and Lucan T$lte Lead in Semi-Finals The Exeter and Lucan clubs got off to a good start in the Cyclone semi-finals at the local rink Monday night as a result of their wins over pash wood, and Hensall in the two- game series with goals to count. Exeter shut out Dashwood 2-0 and Lucan defeated Hensall 4-1. Exe­ ter now carries a two-goal lead Into the second game while Lucan has a three goal margin. The ice was soft which tended to slow the play up a little but nevertheless the teams put up a real Lucan-Hensall doubleheader day night to will enter the man Cup anc pionship. battle, especially -the affair. The seeond will be on Wednes* decide which teams finals for the Hoff- I the Cyclone cham- The locals shut out the Dashwood six to win the first game .of the series by a 2-0 score. While • the ' game wasn’t nearly as fast as the first half of the doubleheader- be­ tween Hensall and Lucan, it was a real scrap from the start. The sen­ sational work of Goetz in the Dash­ wood -nets was the sole reason for the low Score. Time and time again the locals broke through to get a shot at the net, only to be outgues­ sed by the Dashwood twine guardian At the other end Ford pulled some smart saves as well -to earn a shut­ out. The first period was a tight checking affair and was very drag- gy. It was evident that the Dash­ wood squad Jtiad full instructions to watch every one of the local players * and keep them in close check. The only real scoring threat of the open­ er was produced by Kleinstiver as he broke away and roared in? on Ford all alone. However, "Bunny’* pulled one of his sensational saves to stave off the intruder. Creech and Moore set up a play­ making partnership which was to wind up ‘in Exeter’s first tally. Creech caught the corner of the net to beat Goetz. K. Wein was given a nice, chance on Restemeyer’s pass only to miss the net by inches. Ryckman was thumbed to the cool- 'er by O’Brien for. tripping Haytex* for the only 'penalty of the second stanza. No damage was done, how­ ever, while the locals were short- handed. Kleinstiver broke away early in the third semester, his shot catch­ ing the twine but the goal was dis­ allowed. Ryckman was Exeter’s other marksman, shooting the puck into the cornel' of the net past Goetz. Exeter continually ganged up on Goetz but were unable 'to beat him. Exeter—Goal, Ford; defence, Creech, Ryckman; centre, Mac­ donald; wings, Lutman, Beavers; subs, Moore, Lawson. iStire, Dinney, Willard. Dashwood—Goal, Goetz; defence, Tieman, Haytbr; centre, Ness; wings, Ness, Lucan Defeated Hensall by 4-1 Score The Lucan-Hensall struggle typical play-off affair from Both teams a opening face-off. played a real brand of Ihockey de­ spite the soft ice. In the first per­ iod the Hensall gang had a margin on the play although it ended in a tie, 1-1. Lucan however, came back to play their regular style of hopk­ ey in the second and third and Shov­ ed three goals past Messenger with­ out a reply from their rivals. Reg. Paul got the draw on the first face-off on the first play and • let drive from well out. His shot * was high and hit the screen. Iti the first three minutes Hensall Went ' into the lead. The puck Went around the boards at the south end and McLean .skated in after it to lay out a perfect pass to Wiggins a# he skated in front of the Lucan goal. Wiggins batted tlhe puck be* hind Hudson for a clever goal., Cluff levelled the score within a short interval. From his own defence he carried the disc to the Hensall stripe and let go - with a wicked shot aS Passmore manoeuvred the puck up the ice and set up a pass him from, close in. Messenger sprawled on Reg. Paul, who carried Chowen’s pass in close. The second period was nd less 'spectacular, both teams keeping up their fast clip. Nicholson broke away on a'solo rush and rode in on Hudson who rose to the occasion with a nice save. Messenger did the same When Reg Patil returned the attack. Max Hudson had the best opportunity to break the dead­ lock on a beautiful stick-handling sortie. He stick-handled through the complete Lucan squad only to be outguessed by a sensatimml save by Hudson. A Lucan regained their stride in the (Continued oh Page Four)
