Who played a gameecontest for one
period cit play, but were ateam-
rolled under by .Seafortheiffeneive
power in the second and third
stanza*.
London, playing with pep after
its first league win earlier in the
week, opened the scoring at 1:53
on a counter by Berger. The Bald-
wins, a little lobse at organizing in
the early minutes, presently found
London's range and two goals, from
the sticks of Chinouard and Stone,
and both well assisted, put the Lou
Balls on the short end. London
scored with '50 seconds to go, and
the period ended two -all.
Powerful Offense
Play in theefirst half of the sec -
end frame, characterized by speedy
endeto-end rushes and clever back -
checking on the part of both teams,
progressed without a goal scored
until 9:50, when Stenland sank the
first of three Baldwin ',Melee in four
minutes. Tempers were tested in
the latter part of this period, major
trading done by London's Morrison
and Seaforth"s Elliott who both
earned match misconduct penalties
after renewing their differences .in
the sin -bin.
London defensive power was sig-
nificant by its non-existence in the
third period, as the locals sank six
counters without reply from their
opponents. Evident to the large
crowd of local fans was Seaforth's
powerful offensive tutees, employ-
ed by•twii fast, play -clever lines, as
a major factor in the home club's
win.

more, Exeter; Roy McLeod, Clin-
ton; John Anderson, Emmerson An-
derson, Alex 'McMurtrie, Ed. Alex-

Hensall Wins 9-6 in
Overtime Game Here
Hensel' Intermediates unleashed
a store of pent-up power in the ov-
ertime period of Tuesday night's
Cyclone League game with St.
Marys in the arena here, scoring
four goals in less than five minutes
and recording a 9-6 victory.
First period activity amounted to
see -saw play, with ,both teams cap-
italizing on tweaks around the nets
to score twice. In the second per-
iod St. Marys forged ahead, out-
scoring their hosts three goals to
none, to retire ,at the bell enjoying
a 5-2 lead.
Hensel' caught up slowly in the
final period. Not until 19:40 was
the equalizer rung up, when Ron
Broome performed the goal -getting
effort. The first five minutes of
overtime went like the first period
—both teams checking tightly and
scoring once in each net.
At the five-minute mark of the
overtime period, Hensall let fly.
Ron Broome fired two goals in lit-
tle time, as did Weitey Wade and
Allah Nicholson. Earlier °Heneall
goals were scored by Morton, three
in 'all, and Bromne, one in the
third. Final score: Hensall 9, St.
Marys 6. •

Following is the address: Dear
Bill and Lena: Twenty-five years
ago William Boyd, handsome, dap-
per and gay, decided a life of wed-
ded bliss waay.-hat he wanted most
in all the world. So, after a great
deal of thought and a more or lees
long period of courtship, he asked
Miss Lena Miller to share life with
him. We all agree with Bill in his
choice of a bride, for there has
been no better wife than Lena. Bill
and Lena have worked side by side,
sharing their joys and sorrows, and
have been wonderful people in the
community.
Tonight a few of your neighbors
and friends have gathered here to
celebrate this great event, not only
for you, the principals, but also for
Gloria, even though she won't re-
member it. We hope you have many
more years of happily married life.
In fact, we are looking forward to
coming here to help you celebrate
your golden • wedding anniversary.
In remembrance of this occasion,
we ask you to accept these gifts.—
Signed on behalf of your Friends
and Neighbors..

Red Wings Scout

At the Seaforth Lions Club's an-
nual father and son banquet Mon-
day, hockey featured the evening's
program which centered on address-
es by Johnny Mitchell, chief scout
for the Detroit Red Wings, and
Lloyd Pollick of the 0.H.A.
Mr. Penick made a popular state-
ment when he noted, the 0..H.A. was
interested in the hockey future of
Seaforth. The 0.H.A., he added,
was expecting some exceptionally
good results from this year's Jun-
ior 'B' club. He went on to say that
Seaforth was a good hockey town,
with teams well-respected arou d
•the 0.H.A. circuit. He emphas'
that while the 0.H.A.'s i•nteres
to produce hockey players,
strived to produce good
citizens.

there were 92 boys. Of those, 25
were students. For these students
the club buys their books and sup-
plies and pays their board if they
make a place on a Junior 'A' or
Junior 'B' club.
For these boys, he continued,
along with those in their amateur
farm system, Detroit investors
spend $30,000 a year. Young hock-
ey players at the meeting became
wide-eyed as they heard that the
average N.H.L. players earns $6,500
the first season. and works up to
$20,000 a season.
The Red Wing scout -pointed out
bow fortunate Seaforth was , to
have the coaching skills of Ralph
"Farmer" McFadden, who deserves
to be congratulated on his success.
In conclusion, Mr. Mitchell added
that the Red Wings, were particu-
larly interested in the efforts of
Andy Roberts, Ken Stenlund and
Julius Chouinard. who were sent to
Seaforth from the Detroit camp in

of Seaforth Couttdii Mondayn
after a total,of 11 teneereiwer

A and B, respectively. ! '
As Council was about to eonerei '
several members expressed*
sion as to whether the tender
should be reviewed, since *Of*
A. McMaster and Councillor Vete;
vey•Leslie were absent. � 0. Reid, ,e
representing the engineers; GO-
ham Reid Associates, Toronto, .sug-
gested members continue with the
meeting since undue delay in ex-
amining tenders would tie up some
$40,000 in contraetors' certified
cheques.
"It would not be fair to thoae
who have submitted tenders to
hold up this money longer than is
necessary," Mr. Reid explained.
Objects to Procedure
Most members agreed with this
advice. Councillor B. F. Christie
was elected chairman inthe ab-
sence of the Mayor and the meet-
ing officially began with a sugges-
tion by One of the members that
Council meet as committee of the
whole to discuss the tendees.
This suggestion found favorable
reception in members of the coun-
cil; however, one of the four re-
presentatives of contractors pres-
ent, Gerald Pearce, of Hagersvilre,
rose to object to the move which.
would close the meeting to the pub-
lic.
Mr. Pearce said he was, from a,
large contracting firm which had
been represented before at meet-
ings of municipal cone/ails whea
tenders of his own Arm and other
firms were being examined. He had
never been at a meeting similar to
this where the contractors' repres-
entatives were exchteee,ear. Peere,e
protested.
Council still favored meeting as
committee of the whole, however,
but informed Mr. 'Pearce and the
other men present that they would
be told the various prices tendered
following the conclusion of the
meeting. Mr. Pearce and the three
other representatives withdrew.
Question Position of Press
Councillor Keith Sharp, indicat-
ing three representatives of the
press were still in the council eham-
bers, questioned the advisability' of
publishing the tender figures. Now
Council held a short discussion on
iwhether or not the press should
be allowed to stay,
"Can we make the press go out?"
Councillor Christie inquired, adding
that in his own opinion the report.;
ers should be allowed to stay.
Reeve Norman 'Swirls disagreed.
"It isn't done in other committee -
of -the -whole meetings."
After further discussion be-
tween three Council members on
the subject of the press's position.,
agreement emerged to let the three
reporters—who during the discus-
sion had made no move to leave—
stay for the meeting.
Retain Four Tenders
After the 11 tenders ,had beea
opened and reviewed by Council
and members were prepared to pass
a motion retaining for further con-
sideration four of the tenders,
Councillor John C. Crich added an. -
other objection in the matter of re-
vealing the figure for publication.
Mr. Reid replied.that he "saw ho
point in being secretive" about the
matter and remarked that it was
only fair to the contractors who
thad submitted tenders in good
faitb, to be allowedi to know the
other figures at the earliest .possible
time."
The four tenders held for consid-
eration at a later meeting, likely
within a week, were: Sparton. Con-
structioa Co. Ltd., plant, 930,537.50e
