Radio Station 10 B.P. Dear Mr, Cruickshank:— Please accept the .thanks of our club and local fans for the fine broad- cast of the final Bruce League game in Teeswater. The local "stay-at- home" baseball fans were delighted in the remarkably clear reception of the play-by-playaccount of the game by your announcer, Mr. Richards. He certainly did his best in keeping interest at a fever heat, especially in that eighth inning. Again let me say that Paisley as a whole certainly enjoyed every min- ute of the broadcast. Best of luck to Station 10 B.P., Very sincerely, A. Ross McKenzie. Moving to Town Mr. H. A. Ramsay, who has pur- chased the chopping mill of W. C. Lepard, has rented the residence of Mrs. T. L.
