"Where arle the parents of these boys- . . surely they can hielp!" has been a state- ment voiced repeatedlly when [t cornes tim&l to secure coach- eýs, muanagers 'and referees to hieip promote the hockey pro- gram at the Orono rink. It is a fact- that too few do take tim-e to iend a hand in assist- ing wi1th the program, with hie'the resuit that a few "old, faithfuils" carry the Joad. If your boy7 is playiuig hock- e-v can y),uinQt give assistance with coaching, mranaging or refereeing? Anyone who is willing to help out are asked to contact Mr,' Jack Moffat, as the season is Soon to start. You owe it, to your boy and to the other workers to give a helpinig hand.
