Thursday at At this meetiMj there will be a discussion on the of calf hood vaccine and fly control tier Whitchurch township Ross Armitage Sec Editor Weve been asked why a North York Minor hockey league The idea in nutshell form is to give local wee nippers a spot of out side competition j without travel ling from here to yonder to get it This corner has never been sold on the idea that its neces sary to go jackrabbiting flO or miles to play hockey Thats the reason we went out the Trolley league Your still thinks it was the right idea The more we think back on the era the better we like it Then we had competi tion right around home And dont forget there has been only one larger crowd in the arena since the Hub stepped up into time The Trolley league executive this corner was one of them made mistakes Biggest blunder was accepting East Coast ajid Navy Vets and Toronto teams- into the fold They brought no one with their games around the circuit were a dead joss- Previous to that Bradford Aurora and Newmarket were drawing Sfaohiiheiixe- side and doing financially For the lite Of us we cant see why an arourid home league wouldnt work again There are five artificial ice rinks In

enough via the allstars from the Kiiig- league Ms a team ditto each team to a certain radius and allow at most one import no more think wed crackerjack league and it would get the fans comingin droves
