Jb j erament often impeded his hockey progress. Others who helped cop that puck title were Larry Wilson, a hard-working left winger who was one of the few homebrews; Hilt Swayze, picked from the Grimsby Peach Kings; Lloyd Ronalds, a Listowel lad who bartered through his days while playing hockey at nights; Bub McRae, who at 17 was plenty good enough for the team's reserve list; and George Galbraith, older brother of Meteor coach Hank Galbraith and former Oak hurler Dee Galbraith. Yes, that was a fabulous club, and Doc Deans and Mac McCleary still chew their lips reflectively when they recall how, by some blinkety-blank bit of OHA mis management, their lads were done out of an opportunity to meet the Northern Ontario champions. They'd have shellacked the North erners handily, Doc and Mac still maintain. And the way they went in senior company the following win ter, Dr. Deans and Mr. McCleary are probably right. It is regrettable that it can't be reported that this team went on to ride roughshod over senior op position. It was quickly discovered that, while they could hold 'em on the ice, the small towners from Oakville were no match for the city slickers in the important mat ter of finances. So the players went their various ways the fol lowing year, and Oakville returned to intermediate hockey -- where, unhappily, it has yet to produce another squad that could ramble quite so successfully as the cham pions of 1934. *· B *mBmm 1934 ONTARIO PUCK CHAMPIONS HUNG UP FINEST RECORD IN TOWN'S HOCKEY HISTORY Modern hockey is unlikely to produce a competitive record that will come even close to that amas sed by Oakville's 1934 Ontario In termediate champions who charted the phenomenal showing of 2 1 victories and one draw in the 2 2 games that made up the shorter season of that era. In the process, this star-studded crew racked up 145 goals while allowing only 31 to be slipped past goalies Ran Forder and Jack Cunningham; This club, which was master minded by Mac McCleary, Dr. F. M. Deans and Whit Hillmer, was so superb that it made a runaway of the OHA's intermediate section that winter, and moved up en masse the next year to senior hoc key. Carefully selected by local hockey men after this town had reached the Ontario finals in 1933, the lineup included the stellar de fence of Elwin " Tillie" Moore and "Blondie" Sutcliffe, from the famed Owen Sound Greys; Pearcey Allen, a terrific left winger who later turned down many fine pro offers; Sonny Townsley, a slick little centre from Owen Sound whose son has recently performed with Milton's intermediates; and the one and only Bert Peer, a prolific scorer and stickhandler extraordinary, who had the mak ings of one of professional hockey's all time greats--but whose temp Queen Elizabeth Motel OAKVILLE QUEEN ELIZABETH WAY (at South Service Road) FIRST OAKS Earliest record of an Oaks ball team seems to be that carried in the Oakville Star, when reporting festivities at the local celebration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee on June 2 1 , 1887.

But, for us in ONTARIO, life is much more pleasant than it was in 1867 when ONTARIO came into being. 90 years of progress have given us one of the highest standards o f living in the World. Ontario's growth is a record of development and achievement. 1957 Today, there are over 5,500,000 of us compared with 1,500,000 in 1867.
