THURSTON, Editor ABOUT GKAND JURIES The editor of The Advance was called to Owen Sound as a member of the Grand Jury at the assizes held there last week before Mr. Justice Chevier, and although not required by law to serve we decided to attend when requested to do so. Only one manslaughter case, against a young man from Owen Sound^ was heard and he wa.s sent on to be tried by plants them at the head of the league ed and on a lesser charge of criminal negligency he was found not guilty by the jury and he returned home a free man. There are two schools of thought In regard to Grand Juries, one claim- ing they are not needed and the other that they are a symbol of British Justice, that no person can be tried on a criminal charge unless there is sufficient evidence justifying a hear- ing before a judge and jury. These Grand Juries do not try the accused but only hear the evidence as pre- presented by the Crown and have no knowledge of the defence, this being given before the judge. Besides the above duties the Grand Jury is delegated to visit all public institutions in the county and make whatever recommendations they see fit to improve conditions in the build- ings not only for the inmates but for economy in operation and convenience to the public. All the public insti- tutions were found to be in excellent condition, clean and well managed. The jail building is to be made fire- proof and recommendations were made to paint the North Grey Reg- istry Office (which has been decorated only once in fifty years) and other county buildings, using the prison in- mates for this purpose to cut down expenses. All these recommendations will in time go before the Property Committee of the County Council for their sanction and if a decision has been reached in favor of the changes the Council accepts or rejects the advice of the committee. We do not see the values of Grand Juries in this respect as most of them have not before been in the in- stitutions and tliey rely on those in charge for their opinion as to any changes or alterations required. At- tendance by members of the Jury is regarded as a holiday and at the rate of pay per day make more money than they would at home. It is con- sidered to be a holiday for thorn and they Slay for as many days in which they can properly and decently com- plete their work. Only three months ago the Grand Jury inspected all these buildings and almost the same recommendations were sent in then as in the session last week. Three days were taken in the sight-seeing tour when it could have been easily accomplished in two â€" but another day's pay would be collected. One member pointed out that members of Parliament were enabled to spend plenty of money and have a goo<l time, so why should not the jurors take an extra day's pay while they visited all the institutions in the County, the extra cost being only a mere $4.00 for each man. Two wrongs never made a right, and we believe that many of those in gov- ernment postions have the same opin- ions a.s those mentioned above. The money they receive is paid by the taxpayer and does not mean much on each individual bill, hjjt in the aggregate mounts up. It is time that tbe orgy of spending, from the Do- minion government down to the lowest supemumery should be stopped and consideration made of our present po- â- ition of the debt of $625.00 against each man, woman and child in Canada. High School Activities School activities were perking fav- orably until lust week when Mr, Eu- bank threw a monkey wrench, as it were, into the whole scheme of things. The result was the fact that examin- utiuns started lust Wednesday and fini-shed yesterday, so with that worry off our shoulders we can lift our noses from the ever-whirling grrind- stotie and resume our more pleasant activities. The girls of our school hope to be able to arrange a few more friendly hockey games with neighboring high .schools, but no dates have been set as yet. THE NIGHT BEFORE 'Twas the night before exams And all through my head Was a buzzing and burring That made me see red. The blue line, the kid line Would flash in my dome. But alas 'twas not hockey That helped capture Rome. The last game with Chatsworth Flashed clearly to me, But why Trig was invented Surpassed even me. My advice is to work Through each week with zest. And we'll have time for our hockey As well as our tests. Flesherton Bombers Take First Of Semi-Finals 10-4 Flesherton Bombers bombarded the Ceylon net for ten goals Monday night while the Ceylon counter attacks re- sulted in four goals in the first game of the semi-final series between these two clubs. Play was rather close in the first period with the score stand- ing 3-2 for Flesherton at the end. Penalties were numerous throughout the game with teh local lads receiv- ing eight visits to the cooler and Ceylon but three. The locals bene- fited by penalties, seemingly, as they scored three goals while playing shorthanded. Play was scarcely a minute old when Gibson was banished for hook- ing but was soon followed by Garnet Teeter when he started a pushing duel with McKee after the lattrcr had hooked him. The Flesherton forward lines were whipping shots all around the Ceylon cage and at last Teeter opened the scoring and Leavell fol- lowed with another. Ceylon tied it up on (,'ouls by Emerson and Bob Plester only to have Teeter score No. 3 for Flesherton before the period ended. Johnson received a pair of penalties in a row for roughing. Flesherton scored three goals in the second period, two by Teeter and ,one by Seoley but also received three penalties, all to Johnson. Garfield Teeter got Ceylon's two penalties. In the third period the locals led in both Koals and penalties again with Hop- kins and Morgan getting the g^ite and Skills of Ceylon also visiting the cooler. Emer.son and Bob Plester •Again scored for Ceylon but Flesh- eiton's lead was soon lengthened with two goals by Teeter and on each by Morgan and Kusscll. This ended the scoring and the game with the locals flying high 10-4. Along The Highway j : of Local Sports (By Delbert Smith) I Uundalk versus Shelburne is tie set-up for the finals in the C.O.H.L. The first game is Wednesday of this week in Shelburne with the return game in Dundalk on Friday. The winner of this best two-out-of-three game series will play the winner of Group B for the cup.

Dundalk Holds Second Place Juvenile Ivcague Dundalk Juvenilefi defeated Chats- worth Mondsy evening in n sudden df nth fixture and na fl result go into second place in the I.,«'ague. Priceville Takes Round From Dundalk 9-5 Before the largest Semi-Pro crowd this season the third place Priceville team handwl the group leaders, Dun- dalk, a 6-2 set back Saturday night, ihua taking a four goal lead into the second game Monday night. Price- ville was strengthened for both games by the use of Carson and Me'/icar, brought up from Toronto for the playoffs. Dundalk, on the other hand, was minus their regular goaltender an<l a defenccman. O'Dell scored the only goal of the first period on a pass from Bell and play was rather even throughout. In the second per- iod McLean and Bell made it 3-0 be- fore Lyons tallied for Dundalk. The lads from the west rammed home three more in the third period by Flell_ McVicar and Frook while Moody secured the lone Dundalk counter. In Monday night's game the same two teams battled to a 3-3 ovctime tie snd thus Dumlalk was eliminated from further play, being defeat- ed on the round O-.^.

The Flesherton Senior team can now hang up their skates and put their outfits in moth balls for the season In Dundalk last Friday as a result of Flesherton's 8-2 defeat, the locals were eliminated 13-5 on the round The score was no true indication of the play as Flesherton had as much If not more of the play in both games but because of the lack of ifinish around the net were not able to make use of their scoring opportunitie's. In the search for goals many break- aways were given the Dundalk team which they knew how to capitalize on very well. Each member of the local team played to the best of his ability Under the circumstances and were defeated by a better team. Flesherton never seem to be able to get two com- plete lines and as a result difficult- ies arise in that some player has to overplay himself in remaining on the ice for an extra length of time. Never have the Flesherton team bor- rowed players from a neighboring vil- lage to round out its line-up in the modem set up. Many arguments were aroused over the officiating of Tees- dale from Brampton. Personally I think the first game in Flesherton could have been refereed in better style but of course everyone is en- titled to his own opinion. The Semi-Pro League play-offs have started with Priceville winning the first game 6-2. This gives them a four goal advantage to take into the second game in Dundalk on Monday last. It appears that Priceville is out to win the McDougall Trophy this season and if they do it will mark a new resting place for the cup. In the past it has been won by Flesh- erton twice. Proton once and Dundalk once. In the other semi-final series Flesh- erton and Ceylon tangle February 20 and February 22. Ceylon, it is rum- ored, is to be bolstered for the series by that sturdy defenccman, Joe Gib- son, and the local lads will have their hands full in dei-ailing the station aggregation as Joe will be a big help to the Ceylonites. It seems that Joe comes in for the play-offs with one team or another most every year. It will be remembered in the season of 1935-36 he played with the Flesh- erton Semi-Pros, the first season they won the cup. Joe was living in this district at that time and it was a shot from this same player that lifte<l the cup from Proton and brought it to its new resting place, Flesherton. In the Juvenile group arrangements have not yet been completed as to playoff dates. The Flesherton entry has jnai-ed the last playoff berth and will meet either Dundalk "or Chats- worth, these two teams being tied for second place. It is to be hoped that if the locals meet Dundalk they will be able to do bettor than the seniors. Several boys have been tried out for the goal ten<ling position in the Juvenile team. The boys who partic- ipated must be given credit for trying to fulfil such a difficult position. A goalteitder must have certain fund- amental requirements or he will fall by the wayside before much advance- ment can he made. The most im- portant requirements are; fir.st he must have keen eyesight, second, he must be very agile and be in goofl physical condition to withstand the shocks and strains his body an.l mus- cles mu.st undergo, third, he mu.-?t have nerve. If a goalkeeper is timid and hesitates to throw his bod/ at an oncoming forward, he will find it difficult to prevent a .score. The coach of the Juveniles has found a boy who can meet these re- quirements and big things are ex- pected of him in the playoffs. The boy is none other than Bob Banks. However a goaltender is only as good or can be only as good as the team in front of him as it is next to im- possible to thwart a two or three man rush coming in unmolested. Should the local Juvenile team be eliminated there is consolation in the fart that within the next few years there will bo ample material to form a very strong senior team, one that wouhl be even stronger which won the cup two years ago. Do you know what the big "S" line of hockey is? It is Skating- Stick- hiindliiig -Shooting. Every Iwy who my ambition to become n star player in any leagtie must be able to do thesi- three requirements with almost t>,-r feet ion. Flesherton Eliminated 13-5 On Friday last the strong Dundalk team eliminated Flesherton from fur- ther competition in the Central On- tario Hockey League playoffs. The score was no indication of the play whatever as the locals were contin- ually trying to score goals thus giv- ing the home team many breakaways. Had it not been for the great per- formance of Ferris in the Flesherton nets the score would have been much greater. Sims, in the* Dundalk net, also proved a great stumbling block. The Flesherton goals were scored by Smith on a scramble in front of the Dundalk net after a pass from Gorrell and Boyd got the other on a pass from McTavish. The Flesherton boys just seem to be unfortunate when around the net in not being able to score as several real chances were passed up. However, the local boys kept on trying right up to the final bell and each gave the best he had in turn.
