y Wednesday, November 8, 1939 THE FLESH-ERTON ADVANCE GE£S£ CONFUSED BT LIGHTS AT HYDRO PLANT This beirtir the season when wild geese are winging their way from Northern Canada to the sunny climes of the Southern States, operators at the Hanover hydro plant have again found that the geese are confused by the well-lighted grounds here^a con- dition made more noticeable this year by the fact that powerful search tights have been installed in order to help guard againstr sabotage . The other night, a flock of about one hundred geese flying over the town was so confused by the lights that they came down and were flying in and out among the lights and squawking loud- ly until the guards and operators saw their plight and turned off the lights, whereupon the geese recovered their bearings, went up to a much higher altitude, and continued their migration to the Southern States. This has hap- pened ,on several occasions this year, as in former years, and there have been many large flocks of wild geese pass over Hanover. Unlike human beings, the geese seem unable to ad- just themselves to artificial light, and in3t««d of ignoring them on their flights, they have come down to in- vestigate, and have become confused by the glare. â€" Hanover Poat. Apparently those I. R. A. members are troublesome even when locked up. Inventors are busy trying U> 'hink of new forms of death-dealing machinery. Surely the present as- sortment is deadly enough.

Last Thursday at Hanover Flesherton won 8-7 in a close and exciting game. Flesherton won their first four games and are at present sitting at the head of their group. They m^et Markdale in the latter town Thursday after- noon and if they win will be winners of the group.
