This organization has been famed for the splendid work it carried on dur­ ing the last war, also for its peace time service. There is no doubt that the organization here will be success­ fully completed and that the local unit will swing into action with a un­ ited front. The need for some such organization is great so when the call comes turn out. During the last war the people of Wingham and district did excellent work, The ladies particularly are to be commended, for the service they rendered at home. That they will do s*o again there is not a doubt. A good start would be attending zation meeting. CHICKEN THIEVING Chicken thieving has regular racket in Ontario and every effort should be put forth to stamp this activity of these night raiders out, Almost daily reports are received of chicken houses that have been raided, It is impossible for a farmer to car­ ry on his daily duties and watch his chicken flocks by night, Heavy sen­ tences should be given for all offend­ ers convicted and any equipment they use confiscated. It is a terrible disappointment for people to wake up in the morning and find their fowl gone. The financ­ ial loss is such that in many cases it creates a serious handicap. * CAN CHUCHILL TELL? the organi- sjs become a Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, looks wise and says no­ thing, The Nazi envoy to the Soviet, when asked the location of the Brem­ en said: “I think it would be more proper -to ask Mr. Winston. Churchill. ABOUT PRICES There is no doubt but that prices will , go up, Canada being at war. In fact, already many items have ad­ vanced in price. This rise, we believe, will be general. Farm products will increase in price but very little’ ob­ jection can be taken to that as the farmer has had low prices for his pro­ ducts for a number of years. During the last war profiteering was carried on by individuals, com­ panies and corporations and every ef­ fort should be made to prevent this happening again. A board has been set up for this purpose and they will deal with complaints. They will have a steadying influence on price levels. Their duty is clear and to retain the confidence of the public they must operate without fear or favour. Canada as a nation will stand by MEAFORD KNIGHTS DEFEAT HURONS Tribe Loses 3-1 in Final Bruce Lea­ gue Series Opener. base when Oliver bobbled the ball momentarily. Doran grounded to short and Somers was retired at the plate, Groves taking third. -Doran stole second and Smith lifted a long fly to centre on which Groves scor­ ed and Doran took third. Lediet struck out. to end the rally. An error by Bart Smith gave the Knights the clincher in the sixth. Bart let Chapple’s roller whistle through his legs and the former was on second before Pembroke walked single to right, Bowes fanned and tired when Smithson failed to hit the ball on a squeeze play, Bridgeford was credited with an error on Smith- son’s drive to the box, but Felling­ ham ended the suspense by popping to Doran, the ball returned, and Philips again scoring Chapple. Pembroke was re- ’ like Hector, Rimer is a right hander, but Elmer is like Hec in that he is a pretty fair pitcher as his eleven strike­ outs would; attest, Elmer was a little jittery for the first few frames, but was fairly strong at the finish. Pete also pitched very good ball and it was no fault of his that the Tribe failed to at least prolong the series, The Tribe jumped into a two-run lead in the first inning when after two were out Dick Doran followed a single by Groves with a home-run ov­ er the centre-field fence. Unfortun­ ately they proved to be the Hurons’ only scores although they had good chances to add runs in, the second, fifth and eighth. Meaford’s first run came in the fourth and it was a gift tally. After Chapple had rolled out, short to first, Pembroke got a life when Chalmers let his liner hand-cuff him for an error. Pembroke stole se­ cond while Goldsmith was striking out and scored on Bowes’ single to centre. The Knights won the game with three runs in the sixth. McGeoch scratched a hit to short to’ open the session and Philips, batting for Ol­ iver, sent him to second with a single to centre. Both runners advanced when Groves failed to hold a third strike on Chapple, the batter being automatically out, Pembroke topped a slow roller clown the third-base line filling the bases. Goldsmith hit a grounder which Lediet ’fielded, but threw to first instead of the plate, two runs scoring when the throw got past Doran. Bowes hit to Mellor who toss­ ed too late to the plate to stop Pem­ broke from scoring. Smithson and Brown fanned but the ■ damage had been done. It’s All Over Now! V On Guaranteed Trust Certificate* A legal Investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed THI STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION snauHo Town tohohto The diminutive southpaw “Warpy” Philips held the Hurons to five hits and a single run at Meaford last Wednesday and the Braves last the first game of the Bruce League finals 3-1. Bob Bridgeford was pitching- very good ball at the same time, al­ lowing seven hits and only one earn­ ed run. A large crowd watched Phil­ ips fan twelve of the Tribe, eight Knights falling before Bridgeford. A couple of fielding lapses plus in­ ability to hit Philips in the pinches cost Wingham the game. The Hur­ ons were on the wrong end of several tough decisions by Umpire Schneid­ er, two of which were very disastrous. Somers and Groves led the local at­ tack with two hits each, while Mc­ Geoch and Philips had a like number for the Knights. The fielding offered little in the way of brilliance. The Knights won the game in the first inning. Mellor tossed out Fell­ ingham but- McGeoch doubled down J the left-field line. Oliver fanned but Chapple’s single to centre scored a run. Pembroke grounded to Lediet who lost the decision at first base, the play going as an error. Philips won his own game with- a single to centre. Bowes lined to short for the final out. The Huron’s best chance came in the fourth when they had men on sec­ ond and third with none out. Somers lined a single to left to open the in­ ning and Groves followed with one to left, both rjnnners taking an extra Hard-Fought Battle Wingham— Mellor, 2b ............ Somers, cf ............

HURONS FADE FROM BASEBALL PICTURE Lose Two Straight to Meaford; Tribe Away Off Form. The Wingham Hurons relegated themselves to the baseball side-lines at the Park here Saturday by hand­ ing iMeaford a 4-2 win to lose the ser­ ies in two straight games. The sea­ son’s largest crowd saw the. Braves take a two-run lead in the first inn­ ing and then proceed to toss the game away despite steady pitching by Hal Peterson. It was a dismal finish for the Club which was going so good up until August, after which the Braves never did hit their stride, mostly due, we think, to a which saw them in three weeks, managed to win play-off games during the season, los­ ing five, which is a pretty fair re­ cord. As them lug a whom the Hurons were glad to as­ sociate. There was Very little to choose between the clubs, Meaford playing just a little steadier than the HurOns to win the verdict. Failure of the Tribe to hit cost them the ser­ ies.

PLAYER HERE When Wingham, High School op­ ened last week the hockey club was made the gift of at smart hockey play­ er who will be a. valuable asset to the club next winter. He is John Bowers, of Ripley,, who. will take a commercial course- at the high school this year. John has been one of the main­ stays of the Ripley juniors for the past few seasons and his removal to Wingham will be a serious blow to the kids from Huron’s Hub. While lacking in stature young Bowers has plenty of grit and his prominent play on the Ripley front line has always been outstanding'. ’ While the older generation are Unfamiliar with John Bowers, mention of his father, Shirl Bowers, brings to mind the rugged play of this grand old. timer who hung up Iris skates last winter after years of playing with practically ev­ ery district around Ripley. At one time Shirl Bowers was Counted on as professional timber when he played with the late Howey Morenz and Butch Kelterbourne in the Mitchell- Stratford group, John Bowers, who is stilt a junior, is cOttnted oh to add a lot of weight to the athletic corps at the local high school which holds its field day on Friday.
