III 1~ Back in 1936 the citizens of the village of Dundalk, Ontario, ga- thered together and decided that a rink shouîd be erected so) that the young people of the commun- it>' would have some place to play hockey and skate and wouldno have to motor or hitch-hiket neighboring towns for their en- tertainiment. The resuit was this fine building constructed f o r about $5,000 or less which was contributed by the citizens of the town. Children and adults took part in helping to build it and have maintained it since that time. Bowmanville has two outdoor inks, but no place where budding athletes cari try out their hockey ability. Surely, we can doîas well or better than a village of less than 700 people. Now is the time to start planning for a rink so that by next winter the building wi]l be ready for the public.- Cuts Courtes>' Dundaîk Herald. 9 CHUR n ~ANDTi 1.

Don Mason's Flyers and Gilbert Mcllveen's Bees are the two teams leading, with the Wildcats in third posi- tion and the Bearcats and the Bulldogs tied for the cellar. The six games on Saturday were some of the best yet to be played' with no teamn winning by a large margin. AIl the games were fairly dlean with the referee calling the plays accurately. A meeting ta decide how the playoffs will be played, who will play in themn and when they shaîl be played bas been called for this Sunday afternoon.

"Ac- tually this up-to-date rink is a corm- munit>' gift ta the youniz folks of this village and district. May it prove a blessiniz ta the present izeneration and stand ta serve izenerations yet unborn." If a village of nearly 700 people can do suclî a good iob, how much better should be the zifk that Bow- rnville citîzens could build for their vounez people.
