THURSTON, Editor EDITORIAL COMMENT Dr. David Jamieson of Durham re- cently observed his 83rd birthday an- niversary and in making general ob- servations discouraged the average man of means entering parliamentary life. Dr. Jamieson spent almost 26 years as provincial Conservative mem- ber for South Grey. In his early days he entered newspaper work and held the record for speed in setting hand- set type. We are pleased to know that Dr. Jamieson is enoying splen- did health and we are expecting him to reach the century mark before he decides he has had enough of this world. • • • At the recent meeting of the Plesh- erton Council information was given out that the Fire Underwriters' As- sociation forbids the use of fire equip- ment being used outside the munici- pality it was intended for. In the case of Flesherton there is only one truck with chemicals to protect the village from fire and when it is out of the municipality there is therefore, no protection in town if a fire broke out and the insurance companies would be compeleld to raise the rates which have been reduced since Flesh- erton purchased its new equipment. The Council was reluctant to pass a motion on this matter, but under the circumstances there was nothing else for them to do. However, this would not stop the people of the vil- lage from responding to an appeal for assistance from out of town and help in any way to extinguish a fire, but the fire truck must not leave town. The action taken by the Council is forced upon them and they had no other recourse but to comply with the regulations. • « • A new water conservation dam is to be erected on the Grand River near Fergus and causes Hugh Templin of the Fergus News-Record to wonder what the design of the new structure will be like and hopes that it may not be as ugly as the power dam at Eugenia. This leads the Durham Re- view to make the following comment: "All we can add is if the surround- ings around the Eugenia dam were improved and made more park-like, the dam would suffer less in com- parison." This is a point well put forth and the Ontario Hydro Power Commission would do well to give it greater consideration than in the past. The surroundings at Eugenia are not beautiful by any means and if the Commission would do landscaping at that point we know the tourist at- traction would be greater and the dis- trict would profit considerably. The surroundings of the power develop- ment at Queenston are beautiful, but of course this is one of the fruits of the Niagara Falls Parks Commis- sion and not entirely Hydro. We would certainly be pleased to see the Hydro Commission take up this ques- tion of beautifying both the sur- roundings of the Hydro stations and power dam sites in the more populous sections where tourist traffic is to be encouraged. Flesherton Bombers Finish Schedule In Second Place Flesherton Bombers continued their winning ways Monday night when they downed the Priceville Silver Bul- lets by a 7-6 score in by far the best and most thrilling Semi-Pro game played here this season. Priceville started out at a dazzling pace and in very few minutes had hung up a three goal lead with goals by Bell, U. Turnbull and E. TumbuU, and things really looked bad for Flesh- erton. Could Priceville hold their lead? The answer was no. Would Flesherton settle down and begin carrying the play? The answer was yes. The Flesherton defence began bowling over one and all who stepped into their zone and the crowd was in an uproar as Priceville's attack faltered at the hard-hitting defence offered by the locals. Priceville be- gan to slow down and Leavell shot the locals on to the scoring column with Teeter and Welton combining. Johnson drew the only penalty of the period for boarding Bell, and the score stood Priceville 3, Flesherton 1. Flesherton came out in the second period w'th determi»ation blazing in their eyes and before long their Ace line had clicked for three goals, all by Teeter. McLean put Priceville back in the running when he tied it up but less than half a minute later Teeter streaked down and chalked up No. 5 for Flesherton. In the third period both teams play- ed careful hockey, figuring to win the game on breaks. Whether the locals got the breaks or not we don't know, but they did add two more goals, first by Seeley and then by Teeter when he and Leavell broke away from a Priceville ganging attack that flew all to pieces when it hit Flesherton's bouncing rearguards. With less than three minutes to go Priceville got two rather easy goals when the locals got somewhat careless in the manner they cleared the puck with the result E. Turnbull and Bell counted. Despite this the locals still packed plenty of steam to frustrate the remaining thrusts that Priceville staged. By winning Flesherton took hold of second place, the position they have been fighting for all season. Now the locals and Ceylon meet in the semi-finals, the games likely to start this week. The winner of this plays off with the Dundalk-Priceville winners to decide the McDougall Cup holders. Chatsworth 6, Flesherton 2 Chatsworth made it two straight over the local Juveniles last Wednes- day when they took them for a 6-2 count in Chatsworth. The game was fast, well-played and clean with no penalties being handed out. Flesher- ton's goals came in the second and third periods from the sticks of Ples- ter and Banks. Chatsworth counted twice in the first canto, once in the second and three times in the final session. Need 3000 Mile Train To Carry Canadian Coal If all the coal produced in Canada In one year were loaded into freight cars and these strung together the train would reach all the way from Montreal to Vancouver, a distance of nearly three thousand miles, accord- ing to an economist of the Canadian National Railways. Writing on min- ing in the Canadian National Maga- line he points out that the structural materialsâ€" cement, lime^ sand, -stone and gravel â€" in last year's mining pro- duction would fill two strings of cars reaching from Montreal to Vancouver, and a train carrying the other non- metallics â€" asbestos, gypsum, quartz, salt and sulphurâ€" would reach from Montreal to Halifax This ohap, Old King Coal, is buck on hi<< (hronp np-ain.

(Goals On round to count) Along Tke Highway : of Local Sports : (By Delb«rt Smith) If B man's tooth aches he can get it pulled. He doesn't need an ache to pet his leg ptillod â€" the ache comes afterward. Some of those parkas that the girls wear give them such a juvenile look that one almost instantly thinks of a ni'W baby. 'Wc understand that iiinst mothers don't object to having !hc biihy kissed. Playoff time is here again in some leagues and just around the corner in others. The Central* Ontario In- termediate League has started its playoffs while the Semi-Pro and C- 0. Juvenile League playoffs will be- gin in the near future. « • • • Can Flesherton's entry in the C.O.- H.L. get by the much-feared Dundalk team in the semi-finals? This ques- tion is being asked by many a local sport fan. Perhaps it might not be going too far in saying that a great deal depends on the verdict of the first game which was to have been played last ni^ht. Much, also, de- pends en the condition of the ice. The Dundalk team, being much heav- ier, will have a decided advantage on soft ice. It is to be hoped that cold weather will favor the locals. In the other semi-final series be- tween Shelbume and Markdale there should not be much doubt as to the ultimate winner. True, Mark- dale will give the visitors "a good run for their money" on their home ice and might even defeat the Shel- bumites. However in Shelbume the home team should be able to win with a margin big enough to carry them into the finals against either Dun- dalk or Flesherton. Should Flesherton eliminate Dun- dalk and meet Shelbume in the finals, our fans and fanettes can most cer- tainly be assured of seeing a better exhibition of hockey than that dis- played by the locals on Shelburne's last appearance here. That game was the worst ever played by a local team to my knowledge, and if we get in the finals, Shelbume will have to step to keep us from earning the right of bringing the cup back to Flesherton for the second and only time in the history of the trophy, that such a feat has been carried out. • * * * In looking over the Semi-Pro loop We find that the local entry is doing itself justice as well as the senior team. The schedule will have wound up before this edition is printed as the last game was slated for Monday last. The contestants^ Priceville and Flesherton, should produce a good game. Proton and Ceylon were also scheduled for the same evening but the former has dropped out. If Flesherton can win this game from Priceville they will be in second place and will meet Ceylon in the play- offs. If they lose they will be in third place and will play Dundalk. • • • * > Much credit must be given the Semi-Pro boys representing our vil- lage. At the first of the season the locals started out by dropping their two initial games. After this, coup- led with the loss of two players to the Juvenile team which was formed at this time, they settled down and have not lost a game since, tying Proton once. Now at the close of the .schedule and playoffs in the near future the boys deserve the support of every fan foi- they intend bringing hack the McDougall Trophy to Flesh- erton for the third time. Credit must also be given to this team because they ask for no favors, not even from a referee, nor do they give any to anyone. This I will vouch for, because at a recent game the captain of the Semi-Pros came to ine and asked to give them no ad- vantage over their opponents. He asked to show no favoritism and hand out penalties to them as well as the visitors when deserved. ' This is what I call real sportsman- ship and these boys deserve the sup- port which they need so badly to defray the expenses which they have incurred during the schedule. More- over the League is a worthy cause as it develops players for senior hock- ey later on. Thus it keeps the sport revived in our district which is Can- ada's National pastime as is baseball in the United States and soccer in Great Britain. In the C.O. Juvenile League the schedule will wind up on February 16th with Flesherton- visiting Shel- bume. The local boys have amassed four points which should be enough to give them the last playoff berth and will thus mark the third village team to get into the playoffs. Flesh- erton and district hockey fans are assured of plenty of playoff hockey this year and if all three teams hould win the cup representing each league it would break the record set by the Flesherton teams two years ago when both the Senior and Semi-Pro teams won the championships. This Juven- ile league gets the boys in their early teena interested and gives them need- ed experiei\ce to play senior hockey later on. • • • • DID YOU KNOW that hockey was first recorded between the years 400- ,")00 R.C. but that its originality i.s \inknown. Various European count- vie.'-; have known similar games since Juveniles Lose 4-1; High School Girls Win 2-1 The girls' hockey game played here on Friday night proved to have every- thing the tfans wanted, the teams were evenly matched, there were not too many goals and there were some fine bits of stickhandling thrown in. Two goals were scored in the first period, Jean Proctor getting the first counter on a pass from Jean McTav- ish only to have "Di2" Deans tie it up a few minutes later when she netted the puck from a wild melee in front of the Flesherton cage. In the third period Anna McVicar got the winning goal but almost landed in the twine herself in doing so. Both teams have some very good hockey talent coming along but, however, with a bit of coaching no doubt they would be much better. It is our opinion that all who attended the game will be eagerly looking for- ward to the next encounter when the local girls can still further leng- then their winning streak. DUNDALK â€" Goal, L. Duff; de- fence, L, Bailey, D. Bailey; centre, M. Morrow; wings, K. Lockhart, D. Werry; alternates, L. Russell, P. Clar- idge, B. Martin, M, Deans, J. Bailey. FLESHERTON â€" Goal, B. Leavell; defence, J. Duncan, J. Proctor; cen- tre, A. McVicar; wings, E. Leavell, K. Bannon; alternates, P. Newell, J. McTavish, T. Miller. The local Juveniles went down to defeat in their encounter with Dun- dalk following the girls' game but in doing so they gave the classy Dun- dalk aggregation a battle right to the finish. Referee Fred Gorrell handed out only a few penalties, both teams spending about the same time in the penalty box. Dundalk ran in three rather teasy counters in the first period but Ruttle, at the other end of the ice, had a busy time also as the home team barged in repeat- edly only to have Les, outguess them. In the second period the McConkey, Plester, Banks trio averted a shut- out for Dundalk when Plester banged home McOonkey's nice pass on a smart rush. Dundalk clinched the game in the third period and the scoring ended there with Dundalk the victors by a 4-1 score. Flesherton has one game remain- ing in the schedule, with Shelbume on Friday evening and if they win they will have six points to their credit which ought to be enough to clinch the last play-off berth. The defeat on Friday can probably be laid solely at the hand of Ruttle who throughout the whole evening proved a great stumbling block to the local forward lines. DUNDALK â€" Goal, Ruttle; de- fence, 'Wright and Bellamy; centre, Elliott; wings, Grummett and .\che- on; alternates, Langdon Cornett, Liv- ermore and Statia. FLESHERTON â€" Goal, Buchanan; defence, Graham and McTavish; cen- tre, J. Banks; wings, Plester and Mc- Conkey; alternates, McCracken, Best, B. Ranks and Phillips. these earlies records and the Indians of the American continent have play- ed various forms of hockey ever since any authentic record was kept of their lives and habits.

Phone 66 Chas. Goddaurd, Manager Flesherton Orioles Finish Schedule With 12-3 Victory In the last scheduled game of the C.O.H.L. Intermediate group Flesher- ton handed Chatsworth a 12-3 lacing. This was the second severe trouncing that Chatsworth had received at the hands of the locals, Flesherton prev- iously winning 18-6. This defeat for Chatsworth left them tied with Mark- dale for the last play-off berth, each having two points. Flesherton showed their superiority right from the first drop of the puck but Chatsworth was always danger- ous around the goal especially on the break-aways but Gorrell, in goal, kept kicking the puck free of his cage. Johnson, Smith and Dargavel counted in the first framewith Stan- ford tallying for Chatsworth. Smith and Piper netted in the second period before Woods managed to get one for Chatsworth making it 5-2. In the third period Chatsworth tired when Flesherton applied the pressure and as a result Flesherton rammed home seven counters by McCutcheon, Dar- gavel, Smith (3), Johnson and Piper. Stanford secured Chatsworth's last goal. CHATSWORTH â€" Goal, Merriam; defence, 'Woods and Fleming; centre, Stanford; wings, Jackson and Mcin- tosh; alternates, Seabrooks, Shouldice. FLESHERTON â€" Goal, Gorrell; defence, McTavish and Akitt; centre. Smith; wings. Piper and Dargavel; altoniates, McCutcheon and Johnson. Referee â€" Len Nicol of Owen Sound. were as good as their rivals and the game was in doubt until the final bell. Dundalk opened the scoring when Stevens counted on a pass from Pal- mer but Teeter soon tied the count on a pass from Cairns. Spanhouse sent his team into the lead in the second period but two goals by Bob Plester put the Ceylonites on top. Ritchie tied it up early in the third canto and the teams battled on even terms until the end of the period. In the overtime Ritchie broke away from a Ceylon ganging attack and with nobody back chalked up his sec- ond counter. In the final minutes B. Plester and Teeter made a beautiful combination play getting right in on Wellwood but Plester shot right into his pads. The win for Dundalk again put them in the lead with twelve points. Dundalk 4, Ceylon 3 Dundalk and Ceylon played their return engagement in the local arena on Wednesday night last with the former taking the verdict 4-3. Cey- lon had previously taken a 10-1 beat- ing in Dundalk but at home they PROTON FAILED TO SHOW UP At a Semi-Pro hockey match sched- uled for last 'Wednesday evening be- tween Flesherton and Proton, the home team, namely Proton failed to put in an appearance and not until after the Flesherton boys had reached Dundalk and had changed into their uniforms did Proton send word thjk they were not coming. In all fair- ness to the Flesherton players and the management of the Dundalk arena Proton should have notified the part- ies mentioned above sooner, and not have a team hire transportation for no reason at all. We think there shpuld be a ruling whereby the feam that fails to show up and which also fails to notify the visiting team of their reluctance to play beforehand, should have to bear the expenses of the team involved. The locals, of course, won the game by default, but the course Proton took in throwing the game was anything but correct.' t T T T T t T T T t t T T t T T T t T T t t t â-ºâ™¦â™¦^♦^♦♦♦♦^^♦♦♦^^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦^♦♦^^^ New Season s Prints For the benefit of many people who like to make an early start on their spring sew- ing we are featuring a special early showing of new Spring Prints.
