Park on Monday night before the poorest crowd of the season. Sport .fans missed a good game and lots of fun, which only the . Legion boys ..can really •dish up. Last week Fxe- ler was to have opened the sche- dule here, but rain caused. a post- ponement and so the Clinton Leg - t u opened the south group sche- dule here Monday night with a loss to the locals by a score of 17-8. Clinton scored the first marker in their half of the first frame, but did not hold the .lead very long as Seaforth came through with four runs in the second and added three more in the third, to lead, 7-2 with four innings played. The locals again added four in the fifth and in the eighth. Clinton's last to bat counted three rens as the game ended 17-8.

Elgin McKinley (By John Armstrong. Zurich) As election day draws near, no •doubt many voters have arrived at a decision as to who they are going to support, but I foal many are still meditating over the matter, honestly and conscientiously desiring t3 support. and help to elect the cand- date that wouldbe td the best interests of all concerned. I state a few •of the reasons why I support Elgin McKinley, Progressive Conservative Candidate in Huron -Perth: He has the ability or qualifications required of any man seek- ing the office of M.P. After leaving High School for farfn work, and while busy with his business, he has always found time to further his education and is known by those who know him best as possessing a sharp mind, able, clever, ever suggesting some- thing constructive, regardless of how perplexing or difficult a problem may be. I support him because he gets things.done. Some men might keep a chair warm at Ottawa, but we need a man that can do a big job well. He really accomplishes things in business. I be- lieve he would be the same success in Parliament. He would get things done. I support him ,because of his integrity of character, his clean, manly and sportsmanlike manner, and his many other splendid Christian qualities which every true Canadian "appreciates. He has made and will continue to make a worthwhile contribution to the community in which he lives. I support him because he is a farmer. Many voters feel that we have plenty of men following other vocations in our Houses of Parliament, but not enough competent farmers, ,Urban citi- zens and business men jn particular know that their prosperity to a great extent depends upon the prosperity that rural people enjoy. And we rural folk don't forget how we need the urban folkas. we make our almost daily trip to town. There will be greater agricultural problems to solve in the future than ever before. 'I have been rather amused at the other oanididiate's attempt to "butter up" the farm voters (I do net doubt their sincerity as far as they would be able), but surely the maxi that bas spent his life on the farm and studied their prob- lems is best qualified to serve them and guard their interests. Most farm men and women remember that only a short time ago they were selling their wheat, cattle, .white beans and other products for half what they were bringing on world markets. And, they know something about the plight the dairy industry is in at the moment. And don't forget the long, tedious hours agent struggling over huge, complicated income tax return papers. Consequently, I would say to all voters in general, and farm and labour men and women in particular: "Stop this thing of being party fanatics, and support a hustling, efficient farmer and business man. He 'would serve all . the people well in Hurons Perth." (Published by Huron -Perth Progre>isilve Association) 7th, 000114i: &Pi -gal M46- 4441*, ...

The Fawns were short .some of their star players„ and so on Monday night- when they visited the Kadettes in Stratford is was .a dif- ferent story. Both teams hope to be ,able to hold a couple more ex- hibition. xhibition. games in the near future and you can be assured that the girls will put up a good brand of ball a In the game Monday night in Stratford Elaine. ,Shackleton wal- loped a four -bagger in tile eighth frame to score the winning run in her team's tight 8-7 triumph. Loraine Lefler hurled five inn- ings for Kadettes and gave up five of the runs. Barbara Schooley pitched the final four cantos and did a fine job, She was the win- ning pitcher. Stratford took the lead in the second inning when they tallied three times on but one hit, that a single by Shackleton. Kadettes got another pair in the third when Audrey Murphy sliced a home nun with a runner aboard. Seaforth came to life in a -hurry in their third and garnered four markers. The most important hit was a triple by B. Dale with the bases loaded. Fawns scored their fifth run in the fourth on singles by N. Dietz and D. Dale, Seaforth went ahead with two runs in the sev- enth, one on a circuit clout by "Toots" Stapleton, Seaforth pit- cher. However, Stratford tied it up in their half of the same in- ning on three walks and a pair of hits. They won the game in the eighth, with Shackleton's homer.

On Saturday last the Stratford Kadettes, sponsored by the City Police, paid a visit •to Seaforth Fawns, playing an exhibition game and proved superior to the locals, with the game resulting in a one- sided count of 31-8, We have to give credit to the locals since they were minus ome of their star players, and although not taking anything from the substitutes, we believe had the locals their full: team they would have made a much closer game of the affair. Barbara Dale pitched sound ball and if she had support in the field the score no doubt would have been much closer. However, the gime itself was a good experience for all concerned, and mistake's made certainly can be rectified the next time. There were several home -runs during the game, with the Kadettes collecting the most of them. Summary: R H E Kadettes 124 620 16-31 18 6 Fawns 1010204-8 618 KADETTES—H. Haynes, lf; B. Bion, 3b; J.

THE THUNDER STORM The wind swooped down like hawk upon prey, Swirling and sweeping the dusty road, The treetops bend and the flowers bow, As if in alms to that massive wind. The sky grows dark, and across the fields We watch the approaching sheet of rain; It's only a minute until we feel The first few drops. "Come Mary, Come Jane!" Turning we run to the sheltering home, Only to watch through the window pane The torrent of rain; thunder, clap upon clap, And lightning so fierce and wild. There'usomething wonderful about a Storm, So great no man dare try to ex- plain, Where does it come from? Where toes it go? Who rules the wind and the rain.? You may call it a cloud burst, A Blessing when crops are sore pressed; If, by chance, you ask the small children, They may say, "'Tis God, He knows best." For hours and hours, it seems to me, 'Mu rain beats down: Will it ever THOMSON REUNION PICNIC The eleventh annual 'Thomson picnic was herd Saturday, June 13 at the Lions Park, Seaforth, with about 48 attending, The afternoon was spent by the adults in conver- sation and renewing acquaintanc- es, while the younger members en- joyed the pond in no small mea- sure.

Suddenly, as if by command, the fierce wind abates, And only the gentle raindrops are left. Rushing outside, we take note of the change, The rich ,brown earth is darker now; Pools of water everywhere; even the flowers Raise sweet showers. faces after the As we look about this new fresh world, The sun shyly peeps from behind a cloud; Wonderful! Wonderful! It seems to me, This world of ours, may our praise be high. E1HI.RLEY BOYCE. Hensall, Chirp.

What .the matte la, we do'. net know. But this we do: If the continued indifference of the sport' ing public remains evident mua. longer, we would not be in the least surprised to wind up the middle of the season with no team at all. Sport, like everything else, needs a little financial support, and we feel that if the fans of this once great sport centre want sport to be kept alive in Seaforth, 'Men they will have to come down and support the teams- If we don't back the teams, then sport in Sea - forth will surely die. Fans, you wouldn't want the other towns to say that sport has fallen through in Seaforth. "Guess we needn't bother counting on any more teams from there!"Yes, fans, that is what will be said if you are going to still remain indifferent to the games at the Lions Pari. The boys' and girls' teams are. not the only ones that are affected in th s matter. Only Monday •night it was drawn to our attention when there were about six paid admis- sions to the Legion game. We un- derstand that the Legion sponsor- ed ponsored juvenile league is 'being carried on only if these Legion games are supported by the sport fans of Seaforth and district. It was told to us that should there be no fin- ancial assistance from the fans, and that is only meant by your attendance at these Legion games, then the Legion will be forced to drop the good work they are try- ing to do for your youngsters. Do you want to see your boy, who loves to play in the juvenile. league, with no good recreation for hiss in the evening? There are so many things we could mention, but space will not permit us to en- large nlarge on the subject. However, we would like to see all the stands filled for the three main teams that are being sponsored locally, not for remuneration, but for the good clean sport that it is, Natur- ally, we all know it costs a little to run a team, so come on down to the next games and enjoy your- selt and you'll say the small fee was worth it. Whisperings has another small beef. Perhaps it will never be no- ticed. Anyway, on Monday we, were talking and listening (mostly listening) to some of the fans and they are more than surprised that as let there is no mention of a 1st of July tournament. There have been no exhibition games. Well, lately there has. been very little of anything. What we would like to know is this: How is it that our bitterest rivals, the Wingham' Mercurys, can bring in an outside team and have some exhibition games and make Iots of do-ra-me, or what have you if it isn't the good ,hard cash? We understand the Wingham club r,oade out alright . .. but then that is Wingham. Recent attendance at the local park, no doubt, doesn't seem to warrant the bringing in of outside teams . and then again if some good outsider came in the sporting public ne'ght be aroused enough to come out and crowd the Heid. But we feel it is time that those who are resptuisible fair the. sport <ffairs here livened up if they want to keep in the running with other towns. Again we would desire to have more space to en- large 4pn our thoughts and those that Piave been passed on to us from some very loyal fans, but space does not permit us to deal further on these topics. All we would like to say is, let us go out and support all teams. Come down to the games and have some fuaa. Forget your cares of the day tad watch the boys and girl) at play.
