Basketbll Opener Wingham Armouries was the scene of the beginning of the basketball season for Wingham District High School last Tuesday with two teams, junior and senior, from Walkerton playing in an exhibition double- header. Walkerton Jrs. Victors The Wingham Juniors met an ex- tremely fast and well co-ordinated opponent. In the first half Wingham managed to hold down the invader's score. However, toward the end of the game, Walkerton broke loose with a brilliant display of passing and shooting which brought the final score to 54-15 for Walkerton, WALKERTON—Grant, 2; Paull, 6; Davison, 0; Turner, 2; Brown, 0; Winter, 0; Graham, 14; Steveson, 6; Pattison, 16; Whitehead, 8; Kid- new, 0.

Win The second game of the double- header was a much more closely con- tested affair. Wingham started in with a slight lead, but the score teetered back and forth for the whole game. Walkerton seemed a little weak on shooting, while Wing- ham obviously needed some practice passing. At half time the score was Walkerton 15, Wingham 14, hut the final score was Wingham 33, Walkerton 31.

Catherine Keating Krawenchuck Signs With Walkerton Mr. "Nick" Krawenehuck, who has been one of the stellar performers on the line-up of Walkerton hockey teams fOr the past Several seasons, will shortly appear in uniform for the Wunderbars. Nick IS expected to ar- rive in Walkettoh on. Thursday of this week from Vancouver where he spent the past summer. His addition to the local team will add greatly to the Wunderbars' chances of making a play-off berthe—Walkerton Herald-. Titee, The Fanning Mill by Bob Carkert not so much the hogs but the farmers who are expressing their disgust with the way that the hog price setup has changed since the first of the year, It is the old story. If you don't looe before you leap, Heaven only knows where you will eventually land, Let's go hack a month or so. )3aek in Dec- ember, when it was announced that the support price on A Grade hogs on a basis of Toronto and Montreal deliveries would be lowered from $26 to $23 per hundred, farmers started to get every available hog out of the pens and onto the market. As the December 31st. deadline approached every hog that was old enough to leave his mother was sent out to the peeking plants to become the pork, in the pork and beans. The result is common knowledge now. Truckers tell us that during those last few days before the deadline they hauled large pigs and small pigs, fat ones and lean ones, and some that had hardly devel- oped into pigs at all. Everything from 120 pounds up, went out to market from some farms, until there was a huge' surplus of hogs On all markets. The Packers, and we mean the big ones, agreed to take all hogs delivered till midnight the 31st. of December at the contracted price of $26.90. How- ever, they had such a huge stock by that time, that they were over a week catching up. These hogs were kept in the Toronto yards and fed until they were to be slaughtered. Now who fed these hogs, who paid the yardage, and who took the shrink- age? Those are good questions, for which we have no accurate answers as yet. We are told that the packers paid the yards for feeding, but you can bet your bottom dollar that your hogs didn't gain too much during that stay in durance vile at the yards. It was a mere existence ration. Some people claim that the farmers will be billed with yardage, but that has yet to be firmly established. But the point is, these hogs were bought on a warm dressed weight, and the farmers naturally took a cut on the shrinkage. Add to this the last min- ute $8.00 per hundred weight cut the packers imposed on the extremely light hogs, and you can see that a lot of folks went in the hole on their ship- ments. To add insult to injury, since the first of the year, instead of the price going down to $23.00, it went up to $28.00. Now, mouths are watering, farmers are getting game backs from theoretically "kicking themselves and the "I told you so" boys are having a field day. To add to 'this confusion, there are so few hogs left in the coun- try of market weight that the small packers who are doing -the buying can't find enough to satisfy their de- mands, It looks like a steady mareet for a little while at least. But, for the long term future, we make no guess whatsoever. Panic can be a dangerous thing, whether it be in a fire or in a rush of hog marketing. This should be a lesson to everyone, and a costly one for many. And as we said at the be- ginning, if you have heard a lot of squealing around your neighbour's barn, chances are it isn't the hogs, it's just the farmer berating himself for becoming panicy. Hockey Manager Is Reinstated Mr. Clarence (Tubby) Schmalz was reinstated as the Walkerton Wunder- bars manager at a Learn meeting this week. Clarence had been suspended indef- initely by the team on Dec, 14 for al- legedly entering into an agreement with the WOAA without the team's consent on the screening of players.
