In a somewhat indifferent brand of ball the game was a close affair up until the sixth inning when Hen­ sall broke out with three runs after Clinton came within one run of ty­ ing the game in the first- half. Both pitchers hurled good ball. Joynt scattered eight hits and had ten strike-outs. Although MacDonald had eleven strike-outs and allowed ten hits he weakened in the sixth allowing three hits in a row and hitting Horton with ‘a .pitched ball to account for the three runs, His team-mates gave him poor support. Both teams went scoreless in the first two innings, In the first half of the third MacDonald 'doubled and came home on Draper’s triple to put the first run across the plate. Hensall retaliated with two runs in their half. Corbett singled and scor­ ed on Balfour’s double who in turn came home1 on another double by pitcher Joynt. Corbett again singled in the fourth and scored on Tudor’s triple, Hawkins scored in the first half of the sixth to bring Clinton within one run of tying the score but Bart- liff was nipped off first, by Joynt after being walked, Neilans struck out and Colquhoun bounded to short to end the rally. In the last half Horton, Corbett and, Balfour cross­ ed the plate with three runs. HENSALL — Horton, c; Corbett, if; Tudor, 3b; Balfour, ss; D. Joynt, p; C.

At a meeting of the Board of Education Tuesday evening tenders for the new routes were received and considered. Mr. C. Watson had a tender for the six routes and also for one of the routes. Mr, Norman Mitchell, of Centralia, submitted a tender for one of the routes and Mr. Norman Vincent, of Stephen, for two of the routes. The tender of the Guenther Transport was sub­ mitted in such a way that they would accept any number of the routes. In every case their tender w.as the lowest. Last year the Guenther Transport operated two bus routes for the Exeter school. They have already secured a bus from the [London Street Railway and have placed an order for three new school buses that will seat 42 pupils' each. The latter will not be ready for the opening of the school next week but Guenthers have the assurance that they should be ready the latter part of the month? After making their selection Tuesday evening the members of the Board met with Messrs. G, Duffin and Inspector Lakie, of the Dept, of Education Wednesday af­ ternoon together with Mr. 'Guenther when a number of points came up for consideration factorily adjusted, the six routes for into consideration be travelled before picking up the students is approximately 76,000, miles. The busses are to be 'heated' and insurance against accident must be carried. Students along the bus routes are expected, to find, the nearest point to be .picked, . up along the routes and to be on hand the first day to be sure of securing a place on the bus. As some of the routes will cover at least 30 miles the time of starting to pick up the scholars was set at 7.45. Where the routes are shorter and can be covered in less time the first students will be picked up about 8 a.m. Four of the bus services will’ commence Tuesday Sept. 3rd, and the start as the new ceived. No. 1 will Hillsgreen, Kippen No. 2 through Zurich; through Grand (Bend and Dashwood; No. 4 through \Greenway, iS'hipka and Crediton. Tlqy will commence on September 3. No. 5 will go­ through Hurondale, Lumley, Far­ quhar, and Thames Road and No. 6 through Winchelsea, Kirkton, Whalen, Zion and Centralia. No. 5 and 6 may be delayed starting for a short time and students are asked to get to school as they did before the holidays. To Use Library In order to make room for the additional students that will beat­ tending the Exeter H.S. with *the opening of the new term arrange­ ments have been made to use the basement of the Exeter Library for the Primary department. The seats and other requirements will be moved in this week. The teacher of the Primary is Miss Margaret Taylor. The little folk will enter a very fine classroom as the library basement has been nicely redec­ orated. It was at first proposed to use one or two rooms of the Hensall ■Continuation school in conjunction with the Exeter School for the new H.S. area but the difficulty in ar­ ranging the curriculum to function smoothly was one of the reasons that the suggestion was turned down by the Department of Educa­ tion. Inspector Lakie, of Toronto, was in Exeter recently and after looking over the school suggested public library for number of years basement was used as a classroom for the Primary and while it is not an ideal situation it will help to solve the question of classrooms. To Dismantle 1LC./1.F. Building Messrs. Hector Heywood, Vernon and Calvin Heywood will leave the forepart of the week for Dunville where they will take down the building recently purchased by the Exeter Board of Education from the War Assets Corporation previously belonging to the R.C.A.F.
