AFH Of the three games the J‘unior conâ€" ‘test was by far the most thriiling geme. Like a good plate of Chinese chopâ€"suey, it had a little bit of everyâ€" ‘thing from the Montreal coach, ‘Sad Sam‘ Pollcol; being tossed from the game to Kevin Conway breaking his stick on the glass trying tc lay his hands on a half a dozen teasing fans. _ The battling Bilts were two games down going into Saturday afternoon‘s ‘game and the contest was a ‘must for the Hatmen as a loss would have meant thet they would have to come back like a runaway locomotive and win the next four outingsâ€"something not very probable. By DCUG McLELLAN ~Local hockey came to a glorious conclusion in the camp last week with the South End Tee Pees copping the Allâ€"Ontgrio Juvenile crown but ‘we got a few extra glimpses of the winâ€" ter sport by journeying to Toronto ‘this past weekend to see three headâ€" line contests. _ _On Friday night we saw the Torâ€" onto Marlboros knock off the Sherâ€" brooke Saints 3â€"1, then on Saturday afternoon took in the Geuelphâ€"Mcnâ€" treal series and then Saturday nignt came the Detroit â€" New York Stanley Cup final.

ICE CHIPS: Allan Stanley, the Timmins gift to the New York Ranger cause, surprised the onâ€"lookers the other night with a display of bodyâ€"checking. The big local product has usually pldyed the puck but last Saturday night he played the man. If you don‘t believe this just ask Joe Carveth of the Wings. Stanley hit about four réal solid bodyâ€"checks and old Joe was so beat that for a while he couldn‘t take his reguiar turn on the Abelâ€"Lindsay line . ... Chuck Rayner, New York netminder, plays goal like no other custodian we have ever seen. The big New Yorker makes a stop and rather than clearâ€" ing to the side of the cage to a waiting teamâ€"inate he shoots the puck to any Ranger that might be away up on the blueâ€" line. It‘s pretty dangerous practice but didn‘t backfire once. . .. Ted Kennedy of the Leafs might be the idle of the leatherâ€" lunged gent who has been hollering ‘Come on Teeder‘ ever since the Port Colborne broke in with the Leafs but the two players who are definitely on the black pages of the Kennedy fan are Harry Lumley and Lee Fogolin of the Wings. We were sitting bhind the ‘fog Horn‘ at the pro game the other night and he really rode the two Red Wings. ... This may not be of news to you but it was to us. Pentti Lund, currently,leading the point getters in the Cup series is a rightâ€"hand shot but plays left wing. . . .. Skating Club All Day Friday Soroptimist Bingo Juniors Thrilling The Sports Corner Sunday Weekend Skating Public Skating 2.00 â€" 3.3Q p.m. Wednesday Tuesday slorious ek with ing the but ‘we e winâ€" Toronto e headâ€" 6n Starting off with a bang, the Biltâ€" mires got the opening counter of t:e game and then were never headed. Alâ€" though neither of the clubs lookea like some of the strong Memnrial Cup teams of other years, there seems no resson why the Bilts shouldn‘t come from behind and win the Eastern Canada finals. Eddie Kulick Coming from this neck of the woods we could be inclined to be a litle biased in our opinion of who the best players on the ice were. But no matâ€" ter where you were from you had to 2dmit that the best forward on the ice was South End‘s Eddie Kulick while Steve Brklacich was head and shoulâ€" ders above any other defenceman. Kulick bagged himself a pair of goals and set up another lovely play for Andy Bathgate‘s marker. Although a little on the small side, Eddie is still ‘little Poison‘ around the enemy net. § ‘Big Eteve‘ is the main cog in a hard â€" hitting defence corps. You wouldn‘t know he was the same f{ellow labouring for the Combines last year will easily be tagged as the most improved player of the year. Seniors As for the Senior contest. the Marâ€" lies made it two in a row over the Saints but they didn‘t take it in any cakeâ€"walk, the overâ€"sized Saints, boastâ€" ing five former N.H.L. players on their roster, looked the better teamn in the first period and it was only the mirâ€" acle saves of appleâ€"cheeked Pat Boeâ€" mer in the Toronto net that kept the score down till his mates got steam up. As to the pro game, we were sadly disappointed as so many other fans were, mainly because the Rangers were never in the picture. They got a bad game out of their systems though and may come through yet. We were always of the opinion that because Smythe had paid so heavily through the nose for the services of Danny Lewiecki that he was probabâ€" ly being built up to greater heights than had really achieved but sceing him in action on Friday night changed our opinion completely. He is one whale of a hockey player and is worth cvery lavish word that he coulid ever receive. Un Annonceur de CKGB: L. Thor: $40,000 par annee $70 â€" $105 .. .. Sa carriére débuta au poste CFAR, a Flin Flon, Manitoba,. au salaire de $70.par mois. Puis il vint a Timmins, a $108. D‘ici, il se rendit Montréal pour remâ€" placer Christopher Ellis du poste CFPCF.

On ne lui a pas permis de s‘enâ€" roler dans aucune des forces armées. Lorsqu‘il quitta le posts CFCF son salaire mensuel s‘eleâ€" vait $500. PAS DE BAGATELLE Chemin faisant pour Hollyâ€" wood, il arréta stoppa Toronto, pour voir Jack Cook, déja gérant de CKGB, alors directeur d‘un poste de la capitale ontarienne. Larry Thor, un ancien annonâ€" ceur de la radio de Timinins, se fait, maintenant, un Salaire de $40,000 pa r année a Hollywood Salifournie. M. Cook suggéra a M. Thor de rester a Toronto pour travailler sous lui. "Combien?"‘‘ S‘enquit M. Thor. "«@Quinze mille dollars par anâ€" née," offrit M. Cook. "Pas de bagatelles, Jack," réâ€" pliqua Thor. Alors il continua sa route jusqu‘a Hollywood on il travailla d‘abord, pour une seâ€" maine, 2u poste KFAC, puis a Un an apreés, environ, le proâ€" priéaire de KMPC commanda M.

The Bridge club held their second tournament on Friday and it was a little more successful, 16 tables were in operation and all had a pleasant evening at this quite game. Popular Evening There wess the usual attendance at the Saturday evening social with room enough for dancing to the music of the Legionaires, this has becoms the most popular evening of the week and the members have taken the adâ€" vantage of it, the one night they can bring their wives or girl friends and be assured of good evening of enterâ€" tainment. Mrs. M. Shields won the first Door Prize and Mrs. Vennar won the second. This is going to be a busy vweekend for most of you or perhaps all of you, on Friday evening the Bowling League hold their snd of the season mixed banquet for the memâ€" bers and their wives or lady friends and a real good time is expected. I believe the Blows won the Cups and the Pack Drillers won the consolaâ€" tion prize and I hear someone was lucky. mm uim 3 a o e P h To _ _Stay: ln England On Saturday the registration of the District meeting delegation, yand the evening social which no doubt will be well attended. 160 Expected Cn Sunday the District meeting and we do expect a large turn out for this event, there will be around 160 deleâ€" goates from the district branches plus the attendance from our Branch here, all details were given in last week‘s column, but to those who nberhaps didn‘t see it, I will repeat the highâ€" lights, opening, 10 a.m..

I believe Sudbury tonk the new membership Shield from us for 1949â€"50 and I don‘t think we were far behind them. lets hope we bring it back another time. The Dart League like the Bowling is winding up for the season, this week being the last league zame in the Legion Shield and the Doran Trophy leagues, all that remains is the run off of the singles and doubles and the round the board knrnock out competition for the Calvert rophy. The Imperisls look like taking the Legion Shield the White Cross in the Dorans League and also the Briuncette Aggregate Trophy, but of course this week‘s game will settle it. They have had a successful season with eightean teams and next season has the promise of being the record since it incepntion. S. P. Branch We hope to ses the South Porcupine Branch back in again we enjoyed their. company although they didn‘t get into the winning bracket they held their own. I would like to comâ€" pliment Alf Hawse and Mat Ford, they always played a good game and no wonder, they made their own Darts, one man Darts. They remind you of Arrows, of the bow and arrow days which is a thought it wouldn‘t be a bad idea to make a bow to go slong with it Alf.

GRUMMETT (Cochrane South): Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the hon. minister ( Mr. Cecile) if it would be possible to, in some way, indicate ~the class of the different tourist resorts along the highway. Now, for instance, if you are driving along the highway and you have not already chosen the place where you want to stop, you may see a very fineâ€" lsoking sign and pullâ€"into the resort. After getting in behind the sign, you find a very poor quality stopping place. Would it not beâ€"possible to inâ€" dicate at the entrance to esch and every tourist resort or stopping place of that nature the class to which it belong â€" that is, for your Department to classify the resodts and indicate on MR. CECILE: Mr. Chairman, I like the idea very much. It is being studied presently. a sign placed at the entrance someâ€" where the class and thus prevent so many people being disappointed? I know if you pull into a resort and it is a very poorlyâ€"equipped and very unclean resort, it gives a bad fegeling. and I am sur Amgrican tourists will feel the same way, but if they could see before they entered the resort the type of plece they were going into, then they would not be disappointed in that way.

What does he repreâ€" sent â€" if anything? He seems to get all worked up. I did not know there was a Communist party in this House. Mr. SALSBERG: I will gladly accommodate the hon Attorney â€" General (Mr. Porter). I am a member of this House because I ran on the ticket of the Labourâ€" Progressive party, and received a majority of the votes cast by the electors in my constituency. MR. PORTER; Is that the same thing? Mr. SALSBERG: The hon. Atâ€" torneyâ€" General (Mr. Porter) is right. There is noâ€" Communist party under that name, but Comâ€" munists belong to the Labourâ€" Progressive party. Is that clear? MR. PORTER: Yes, just as clear as mud. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO MAURICE FAY ENGAGED (Legislature:â€"6.4.50) is engaged to. be will be back to normal. All in all, things seem to be in fair shape. All have a good holiday. fifth form students included. Althâ€" ough there seems to be a general reâ€" luctance to get back to work, none seem to be complaining very bitterly There are only two and a half months of school left and most have resigned themselves to the inevitable now that Easter exams are over. The big thing for most of the boys during the holidays was the curling st the MciIntyre. About fifty boys from Timmins High took part in the training and the following bonspiel. The first few days were devoted to teaching the game, while the last half of the week was spent in running off the bonspiel. ‘All boys perticipating in this new sport enjoyed it immensely and have nothing but praise for it. I believe there was only one Timâ€" mins Boy on the winning team, that being Andrew Pceters from the "eck side of the school. However, Bob Kemball, ‘Paul Halonen and Lorne Taylor were in the winning team in the second event. Very worthwhile pxizes were awardâ€" ed the members of the four final teams Among the prizes were such things as tieâ€"clips, socks, keychains and ties. All very desirable bits of apparel that eny boy would be only to glad to reâ€" ceive, don‘t you think. I believe that this bonspiel has provâ€" en the fact that curling is not an old man‘s game, and not a game of luck. Here we were half a hundred high school students enjoying the game and admiring the skill attached, just as the veterans. It is also a good idea to teach the young people of Canada the game that has become such a national sport in this country of ours. It is hoped that in the future we will haveé tcams from Timmins High going out ot visit teams from other towns and cities in the north, just as they do in the Sudbury District. When this is zccomplished we will have taken one more step in binding ourselves closer together in this imâ€" mense northland. We will have takâ€" en one more step to bring unity amongst ourselves and cement relatâ€" ions amongst communities. 3 SKIING WANES The curling took away a lot of skiing enthusiasts who found the pleasant comfort of the McIntyre more agreeâ€" able than the rather disgusting blustâ€" out the holidays. However, a few ery weather that prevailed throughâ€" managed to find their waay out to the gulch. The jump erected last as the wet snow enabled them to fcll was the drawing card for most pack the jump so much more easily. No. records were broken, and Barry Brewer still holds that with fortyâ€" two feet. We realize this is nothing sensationzl, of coursm» but we have a lot of fun out of it and it provides a practice run for competitors before they head south. Kamascotia still presents by far the best skiing conditions in the Porcupine. The snow on the mountain is deeper than it has all winter with anyâ€" weher from three to six feet of snow covering most places. The jump stands eighteen feet high and has a run way of about thirtyâ€" five feet. The jump itself is about three feet high at the takeâ€"off, and as mentioned before jumps of about thirtyâ€"five feet are made on the average. When approaching this structure by the lower trail and lookâ€" ing up at it through the pines with the sun shining on the newly packed snow, it presents quite an imposing sight. When you see someone come soaring off in just such a setting we fell quite proud of our structure. Why not come out and watch us some day. When I write this everyone is back at school. When you read this things A few hardy individuals got out all the way to the mountain last weekend by jeep. (incidentally they have picâ€" tures to prove it). They report all hills in good condition with fair sking conditions. Why not get up a party Having trouble with your budget? Take my word for it â€" there‘s nothing like a Bof M chequing account to keep a man‘s budget running sweet and smooth. The cancelled cheques serve as your receipts. The stubs give a centâ€"byâ€"cent record of payments. For friendly and efficient budgetâ€" servicing â€" call on your nearest branch of "My Bank". C222 this week. The road should be open The big thing around Timmins high this week is the Annual Play Nite. This has been more or less a tradiâ€" tion zgrourd the high school for a great number of years, and this year wes almost dropped. T few enthusiâ€" astic individuals grabbed it by the heel at the last minute and have very sucâ€" cessfully put it back on its feet again. These people had to fight almost every conceivable force in the school to get Play Nite established once more, and certainly deserve the support of both the students and the people of the town. The three plays, The Trysting Place, Quegn Cathrine Parr and the Grand Sham‘s Diamond will be presented this Thursday and Friday nights at eight fifteen. The price of admission is only twentyâ€"five cents for students and thirty five cents for adults. Some of the well known jokers about the school that may be seen in these extravaganzas are Diane Lloyd, Carl Dukeshire, Bob Kenfball, Barâ€" bara Ann Enright, ancy Flemming, Harold Lochrie, Jim Arnott and Clyde Bridle. Tickets maybe obtained from any member of the cast or at Moisley and Ball. These three comedies should be the best entertainment in some time so remembr this Thursday and Friday nights, The Trysting Place, directed by Miss McGill, Queen Catherine Parr, directed by Miss Kingsly, and The Grand Sham‘s Diamond directed by Mr. Jury. Come one and all. Cur good friend Don Wright had a rather unpleasant holiday this Easter. Don was in the hospital for a spell and had to have a few blood transfuâ€" sions. He is at home at the present and reported to be doing quite wel. We hope you will soon be back and feeling better Don. There should be some of us over to see you in this next couple of days. This rest will give you time to think about another Scroll! During the holidays a gang got to talkirns zabout gossup, the whys and wherefores of it and all that sort of rot, when someone suggested that inâ€" stead of putting initials down that the persons second‘ name be printed instead. Do you think it is a good idea? If you do here is a sample of it The following are all couples that are well known around the school.
