"schedule, Little Britain's Bid Squashed by Sonya Braves SONYA, THUR, AUG. 3-- The Sonya Braves ended Little Bri- tain's pennant. chances this evening with a convincing 8-1 pasting and a three point margin with but one game left for each team, in the League The Braves combined a sharp three hit, ten strike-out, pitching job by ace right-hander Ron Jewell, while piling up twelve hits, against veteran and starter, Lou McTaggart and mop- up man Dave Tamlin. An estimated 150 paying fans wat- ched, as Cawker led off the 3rd with a walk, race to third on a single by Healey, and scored on a ground out by Wanamaker. The Tribe counted another in the 4th, on pitcher Jew- ell"s double to the right centre field gap and a screaming single by Morley Davidson. In the 5th, Wanamaker led off with a bunt single and scored all the way from first, on Doug Mec- Millan's hit and aun play single, to give the Braves a 3-0 lead. The Bri- tain's broke the goose egg in the top of he 6th, when Sonya's lone error of the game, put Thomson aboard, he advanced to second on a walk to Don Jenkins and scored one pitch later, as Stu Jenkins singled. In the bottom of the 6th the Braves broke the Britain's pennant bubble, with a five run burst. Fishley drove a single between the bag and the third baseman and scored when Jewell sacrificed. Fishley roar- ed around second and seeing the third baseman pulled in on the bunt, kept running and scored when the first baseman over threw third, trying to cut down the flying Jim. This piece of heads up base running, seemed to unnerve the Little Britain crew.

Post Office and Publishers Co-operate vaop changes in methods of handling newspapers and magazines periment being carried out by the Post vit with major Canadian publishers, has been announced by Postmaster General William Hamilton. The experiment, at present confin- ed to major publishers in Montreal and Torontp, is expected to result in savings in"mail handliyg costs estim- ated at up to a million dollars a year. It is also expected to produce im- provements in the speed of handling newspapers by mail. Canadian' pub- lishers, Mr, Hamilton said, were en- thusiastic about the test and were of- fering their fullest co-operation. In the experimental operation news- papers will no longer be weighed and rated at the post office before being sorted for onward transmission. In- stead the postage rates will be cal- culated from the publishers records which will be audited by the Post Of- fice Financial Branch. Cutting out the weighing operation will save hundreds of thousands of man-hours at major post office term- inals, and will permit newspaper pub- lishers to meet mail despatch dead- lines which were formerly impossible, In addition, post office will have a more accurate record of newspaper mailings and postal revenues will be more closely protected. Mr. Hamilton said that the experi- ment could eventually be extended to all holders of second class mailing privileges in Canada. Dr. Dymond fo Run For "Leadership Dr. Matthew B. Dymond, Ontario Minister of Health, said in a TV in- terview on Wednesday evening that he will run for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. Party executives will meet in Tor- onto Thursday to decide upon the time and place for a convention to choose a successor for the present leader, Premier Leslie Frost.

We have also planned to have a booth at the fair, which will raise money to start the season off. Mr. Geo. Sephen has contacted Mr. John Wilde to engage him as our Pro again this year. We are also apply- ing for the Recreational Grant from the Government, which our Club is eligible for. This -will -pay half to three-quarters of Mr. Wilde's salary. When this business is completed, there should be no reason why our club cannot operate succesfully. But to make our club a success we need the your time and interest.

Chiefly the beaver feeds on the bark of twigs and- leaves of the poplar, willow and alder and in summer on water plants. ~ Beaver do not mate until they are two years old, three to eight kits are born in a litter and spend their first winter in the parent home. Despite his reputation for sagacity and intelligence the beaver is easy to trap. Ahmik the King The Chippewas called him AHMIK the King, becauge the beaver was of prime importance to the Indian even before the white trader put a high price on his head. His heavy fur which was in prime condition in winter was valued for clothing: the animal's meat especially his front paws and tail was considered a delicacy. We learn that the eprly Indian tapped the beaver dam catching the animals when the water dropped. Nets attached near the entrance of the beaver lodge also proved effective. One Theodate Sagard, a French ex- plorer and historian described a more exciting method of catching beaver. An icehole was made near the lodge runway and while one Indian struck "banks of their the ice causing them to return to the AHMIK THE KING lodge, a companion put his arm through the hole grasping a beaver by the head as it swam to its lodge. Sometimes the Indian missed and his only comment, "Ugh, Ahmik get two gingers: score now Ahmik seven fin- gers, Redskin three fingers". Indian True Conservationist The Indian with all his bountiful supply of beaver was a conservationist at heart. He would never kill a whole colony of beaver in a particular luke or pond, but always leave enough for future supply, even hunting every other year so as to not kill off all the animals in that area. Indian trappers in the north travel by dog team across muskeg to the favorite willow-lined rivers, along which they cover "dist- ances from 16 to 20 miles each day. ienerally their trapping zones were about 60 miles, worked in three legs of a triangle. At the end of each leg there is a lean-to or rough shack in which they seek refuge for the night and which provides warmth enough to thaw out the frozen carcasses of their catch. It is usually well after mld- night before the pelts -are removed and stretched for drying. At daylight the men are up and off again, picking up fur from the pre- viously set traps, resetting them and moving off to the next night's rest- ing place. It may be weeks even months before some of the trapper: "see another human being.
