S io ye ,. LEATHERâ€"LUNGED KIDS$;: â€"â€" The Annual Allâ€"Star games are but a memory now but the Saturday night contest will always be a rolicking, {freeâ€"scoring memory in the minds of the many leather lunged kids on hand. In a complete reversal of form from the dull exhibition witnessed on Friday night, the pros really cut loose for their younger followers and gave them a glimpse of why they are playing the ‘monied‘ ranks. Play was so spirited that it threatened at times to get out of hand, but just when it was about to boil over, tempers cooled out and everyone kepttheir heads, It‘s too bad in a way that thegames were not reversed with the pros playing ‘allâ€" out‘ for the adults on Friday instead of for the kids on Saturday. Fans went away from the first contest a little dissappointing and a few may decide against going again â€"next year which would be too bad for the charities which annually benefit from the affairs. __SsOUTH ENDERS GET BROWN: â€" Few people who witnessed the Allâ€"Star games were aware of the fact that Eddie Brown, deâ€" fenceman with the A.H.L. team is going to Inie up with the South End Porkies comes next fall, but such is the case. Eddie returned iro m the Cape Breton League a few weeks ago and announced that he was travelling no more, so unless he again gets itchy feet when the juicy contracts come his way, Brown will line up with the South Enders. Ift hings work out that way. Brown will easily be one of the top biuelines in the League and, combined with Stew Pirie, the pair will terrorize the loop. . . â€" Mr. Pearkes: It is not 20 years for the widow; it is 20 years for the veteran. It does not matter how long the widow may have lived here. After all, the widow has been in partnership with the vetâ€" eran. The widow of a Canadian veteran who was eligible for war veterans‘ allowances is entitled to an allowance when she reaches 55 years of age. Mr. Gregg: Yes. â€"Mr, Pearkes: Surely the same principle should apply in this case. There does not seem to be any equity about it. Here is a woman who has lived in Canada for 20 years. If her husband had lived in Canada for 20 years she would be entitled to war veterans‘ allowâ€" ance. Because he died, is her position any better? Surely she would receive consideration if she has lived in this country for 20 years. She would have received consideration if her husband had conâ€" tinued to live, but if he has died her position will be more pitiful and she is deprived of the opportunity to receive the allowance that she would have got had her husband lived. We hear about â€" equity but I do not think there is any equity about it. Mr. Knowles: I am afraid I thanked the minister a little too readily. I certamly did not understand from what he said at that time. __Mr. Gregg: It is exactly the same as I gave to my hon. friend. Mr. Pearkes:; It is not. Hansard, 20.4.50. By Doug McLellian The crowning of a very successful year in local Juvenile hockey came last Saturday night when the leagus was feted to a wonderful banquet at ~OPENING NIGHT rowning Achievement To A Successful Year Wrestling Roller Skating The Sports Corner Pensions For Vets Unsettled 8:30 8;30 [>.m. SATURDAY OPENING NIGCHT . S O C By DOUG McLELLAN the MciIntyre. After a very rugged yeor, the players dueled with knives and forks rather than hockey sticks and squared off against roast turkeys. Threeâ€" Highlights The highlights of the evening wereo threefold, Allan Stanley of the Ranâ€" gers, Bep Guidilon of the Black Hawks and Bill Barilko of the deâ€" throned Toronto Maple Leafs. Each N.H.L. star spoke briefly and all â€"exâ€" pressed practically the same thought. They wanted the boys to realize what a wonderful league they have the honor of playing in and also what they owed. to the men behind the scenes who gave so untriingly of their time andâ€" money. EFach told of the value the local loop had been to them as a stepping stone to the ‘big tent‘ in which they now enjoyed themselves. Special Mention _ * Carlo Cattarello and Leo DelVillano came in for special mention for helpâ€" ing the boys along. In Bep Guidolin‘s talk he told of the benefits of playâ€" ing clean hockey. Bep, who asdmits that he (?) "was headed for the scrapheap," told of the chippy hockey player he used to be until Chuck Conacher â€" straightened him out this past winter. Guidolin swallowed his ego and told how therq was a minor league clause in his conâ€" tract this year., but by playing good hockey the clause was erased and a handsome bonus took its place. It was nice to see the three stars return home and give credit where it was due. HAVE YOU HEARD? Eddie Harison, Mimico‘s gift to the Boston Bruins was last seen playing here when St. Mikes came up to meet the local Combines in ‘46. Flem Macâ€" kell, who zalso played in the past couple of games was also in that class. Other top players of that 1945â€"46 St. Mikes team who won the Memorial Cup are Eddie Sandford, now with Boston, asnd Red Kelly, star defenceâ€" man with the Stanley Cup winning Red Wings. .. . We saw a letter from Pete Babando to his father saying that he regretted that he wasn‘t going be zble to attend the games as he was ordered by the club doctor to have his tonsils out before he returns home, Ray Hannigan, who performed with Pittsburg in the A.HL. this past winâ€" ter showed some real «lass in the games last week. One of his goals was a rink length rush to beat the opposiâ€" tion to the puck while on another ocâ€" casion he walked through Stanley and Barilko to count another beautiâ€" ful counter. . . . f Les Costello, fleetâ€"footed South Enâ€" der of the Pittsburg Hornets, is just as fast on the blades as ever. The notâ€" tooâ€"serious Les gave the fans a real exhibition of skating and fancy scorâ€" ing stunts. ... .. Turning away from the winter sports for awhile, we would like to keep you posted on George Yorke, local fastâ€"baller in the pro ball ranks of the States. Yorke, flinging for the Class "A" Jzckson. Miss.. tossed the openar and won it handily for his home club.

Lcoal Fastâ€"Baller The.x:e was quite a nice gathering at the Saturday evening social, all enjoyed the dancing to the music of the Legionaires. We take our hats off to Len Spears and his aide de Camps, O. J. Menard, J. Fortin, Joe Bourke, Art Caron and Bill Colbert for the work they put in on those occasions. Also to the old stand by who we can always depend on rendering a few numbers at those get togethers, Jim Aston. t m a B BR P m Whlskey, Sex And THE Exactly $1,000,000 By STEPHEN SCHOFIELD LEGION Lanny Budd inherits a million dolâ€" lars.

During the close season of the League we would like to invite other clubs in town to keep their hand in at the game and have inter club games and by next season we will have brokâ€" en a record in Timmins, the, biggest league of all times, at least from 1937, when we organized. In the League White Cross wins the Labatt‘s Trophy vrith Independents as runners up; the Legion Shield was won by, Moneta, the runners up being the Imperials, the Doran Trophy is yet to be decided it is between the White Cross and the Independants. Congretulations to Jack Shaheen who received his first D.A.D. degree, but those cigars did not indicate a boy. Mcemories We had quite a music recital here on Monday evening which brings back memories of the old hall where we had many of them, with Cris Thor at the piano; J‘ohnnie Williams, soloist; the members had a little entertainâ€" ment, not forgetting Davye Bennett, who also sang a couple of old songs which were well received. We have a visitor here from Toronâ€" to, an old member of the Branch, Harry Pope, now of the Original Branch, Toronto, we hope he enjoy his stay here and have a visit from him. Also a member from the Sudbury Branch, comrade O. Neittaanimeki who is holidaying up here in Timmins so we hope he enjoys his visit. All Yours, Boy We welcome all visiting Legionaires to use the facilities of our Clubrooms while here pool, billiards, ping pong and darts. â€" This also should be a little encourâ€" agement to those who are not in and could be, for information as to making application for membership, contact the Secretary, he can be seen each day in his office, the same applies to those seeking advice on pension matters. etc.. You can notice now that the going is good, the boys are coming around more, the billiard tables going steady, then a turn at the ping pong table, he bridge lovers at it and of course the dartists, a good sign. I believe Branch ‘87‘ is to give us a visit as soon as roads are in a better shape for travelling and we will cerâ€" tainly be glad to see them and hope to return their visit and this goes for other Branches in our zone who are interested in the Dart game. Robin Hood eam We will have Robin Hood team here from Branch 287 on Thursday evenâ€" ing in our tourney. To our sick members still in hospiâ€" tal and out of town, comrades Bert Richards in Beck Memorial Hospital, London; L. Laribie E. Dupuis, A. Larouche, L. McGregor, A. Yeoman and Barney Quinn in St. Mary‘s, Timâ€" mins. We are glad to see that quit; a few have been discharged from Hosâ€" pital and we wish the others a speedy recovery which will mean their disâ€" charge. Sick Steward Con Sullivan reports only one at home, Jim Keen and H. A. Groulx has left for Toronto and we wish those members the best. A greeting to our friends and exâ€" members 6f Branch ‘88‘ and Timmins now overseas, comrades, Fred Curtis, D. Bennett, J. Fortin, N. Woolcock, J. Fairnie, Ed. Stacey and Ken Hulme, we wish them well I know one or two read this column over there and always glad to hear from you. The First of July committee are to hold weekly meetings to make preâ€" parations for that day, the commemâ€" oration of the opening of the Memorial Hall, it has the promise of being a great event.

HOW TO CURL THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO â€" By STEPHEN SCHOFIELD Lanny Budd inherits a million dolâ€" lars. But there is a catch. He can spend it only to prevent future wars. He sesrches for the best way to spend it. His adventures embrace life in the American army, behind the scenes of the Yalta conference, the death of Roosevelt, the first atomic bomb exâ€" plosion, and the Nuremburg trials. This is a cold outline of "O, Shepâ€" herd, Speak!" by Upton Sinclair (MacMillan, $4). It is a national seller; six copies have been sold by one Timmins ibook dealer during the last month; there is a lineâ€"up of neomes waiting for it in one Timâ€" mins library. Truman finally sends him to Mosâ€" cow where he has a disturbing interâ€" view with Joseph Stalin. . Lanny‘s search for the best way to spend the million dollars is all recent history dramatized by a good writer. _I have not read it. I copied that outline from the jacket of the book in a local hook store. Also, I borrowed it from a local library, and tried to read it. I could not. It did not appeal to meâ€"which of course means nothing, for the adventures of Lanny Budd have been read by millions. And the resasson is not far too sceek. Upton Sinclair‘s father dealt in whiskey and gin. That was his businessâ€"until he fell for it and died of it â€" and hence young Upton became and has since remained a teetotaller. "The J‘ungle," his first great book, exposed the appalling labor condiâ€" tions of the Chicago meatâ€"packing incustry and provoked a congressionâ€" al investigation. Hé became a socialist. He teamed up with Jack London. They were great pals. And they invited William Allen White, â€"the famous American journalist who until recently was a Bookâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"Month club judge â€" to join them. Mr. White refused. Mr. Sinclair later wrote ‘"The Book of Life," a fine and honest attempt to facilitate life in general for the working man. A selection from this work is quoted below: "I ‘do not deny that repression of sexâ€"life may do harm. What I do deny is that it does any harm to reâ€" press a desine that is unaccomplished by the higher elements; that is to say, affection, admiration and concern for the partner and her welfare. When I advise a man to resist and suppress and destroy the impulse toward lust in his nature, I am not telling him to live a sexless file. I. am telling him that if he represses lust,, then affecâ€" tion may come; whereas if he yields to lust, then affection may never come, he may make himself incapable of it, of feeling it or of trusting it. And E say that if, on the other hand. he reâ€" sists lust, he will pour all his enerâ€" gies into other channels." Since then he has written innumerâ€" able books, perhaps the best known being his series on the adventures of Lanny Budd, the secret presidential agent*®now familiar to millions of readers in many languages. In chronological order they are: World‘s End, Between Two Worlds. Dragon‘s Teeth, Wide is the Gate, Presidential . Agent,, Dragon Harvest, A World to Win, Presidential Mission, One Clear Call, and nowâ€"the tenth zond probably the lastâ€"Q, Shepherd, Speak! "When people ask me what has happened in my long lifetime," says George Bernard Shaw, "I do not refer them to newspsper files or to authâ€" orities. I refer them to the novels of Upton Sinclair." "‘Timmins life is tough," said A. £. Fuller in Cleveland, "But I‘m going back to it. . . "It won‘t be bad until I get to ToY" ronto. Then there‘s nothing for me but to take a Pullman to Timmins. There‘ll be a chauffeur and a Buick waiting for me at the station to take me to the lodge at the mine. Believe me, that lodge isn‘t any better than a $100 a month zpartment in Cleveâ€" land. It surely is a. hard life. We have a country club, golf, tennis, and all other sports. And our wives will hardly look at a gown if it doesn‘t come from Paris. . . ."

As far as Timmins High is concerned there are no fish stories let alone fish. O n e group, however splashed through puddles snow and ice to come home with one seven inch trout. Beâ€" hind this little incident lies a story â€" a joke. Jim McElwee, Bob Kemball, and Barry Brewer decided to try the streems on Sunday. After much disâ€" cussion and jestitation they decided to take one of those ‘"nevers‘‘ on a fishing trip, Brewer‘s side kick, Patâ€" ricia ‘Campbell. ( commonly known as Pat). I suppose the boys {igured that they would have to show this typically efâ€" feminate character the ropes. But you guessed it â€" Pat was the one that got the fishâ€"the only /ish! Congrats Pat. SCHOOL AWARDS The various â€" organizations around the school are gradually getting their system of awards drawn up. The two athletic societiese of. course have had theirs public for sometime. However the choir and orchestra, and the dramatic society are in the proâ€" cess of present After the parliament meeting the dramatic club‘s rules should be made public and we should be able to have them for you next week. We have not heard anything from the Literary club â€" when are you goâ€" ing to get started? The award committee which will decide on the winners of the gold pins have had two meetings to date and their results should be forth coming in the very near fuutre. This gold pin is the highest award that a student may obtain. They are awarded only to allround students, who have been successful in their school work, done considerable notâ€" able work in the extra cirricular acâ€" tivities and who have shown marked leadership qualities. A maximum of ten pins may be awarded in one year. However ten pins do not have to be awarded and the awards being kept to a minimum rather than a maxiâ€" mum. ' With the high standard of qualificaâ€" tion, and the beauty of the pin both considered, these are most valuable awards. The significance of these pins should be highly esteemed by the student body. The pin itself will be worn on a blazer or in the lapel of the student‘s suit. It is a tiny gold "T" with the year atached by a tiny gold chain. They are most impressing to say the least. The Festival of music being held at the Empire theatre this week has claimed the attention of a great many high school students. Several hundred from the school are participating in everything from the choirs and orâ€" chestra to individual solo work. Many of the choir and orchestra will be takâ€" ing part in their individual events as well as in the massed groups. The school will enter several douwble trio‘s duets, four choirs, and one orchestra, 2s well as individual soloists. As you can readily see the High School will have an active part in the success of the carnival as a whole. We wish all contestants, especially those from the school, the best of luck in their efforts. We should see quite a group of winners from amongst you. The coming socisl event of the seaâ€" son is the Johnny Long Dance to be held in the McIntyre on Friday May 19th. Many are looking forward to atâ€" tending this top performer from the States .with a great deal of expectaâ€" tion. This will be the third top flight band that the Y‘s Man‘s Club has brought up to Timmins in the past year. The last was an overwhelming success and it is expected that with fifth form exams just over, and the the High School will be more than out dance being on a Friday night, that in force. We will look forward to seeâ€" ing you there. Remember it is the °Y‘s Men‘s club that is bringing these top flight bands to the Porcupine. The better you support them the more you will have.

THIS‘N THAT Local tennis enthusiastshave been talking the situsation over very earnâ€" estly the past few weeks, and most have decided that this week or next will be the time to get started. It is felt that with a little help from the good old sun, that has been making itself so scarce lately that most of the courts. with the exception of the Mcâ€" Intyre should be ready to clean up and play on. Best of luck, fellows. Along with the tennis enhtusiasts the track and field specialists have been getting their spikes out of cold ctorage limber up a bit. Believe it or not this is May and only a month remaining before the spring meets there is no time like the present to start to train up. It is expected that there will be three big track meets this year, the annual, Legion meet on July 1st, the NOSSA meet sometime early in June and the Comet club meet to be held in the near future. A few more people are back in Town: Bill Mackie and George Harâ€" per are home from their respective institutions. Gordon Nelson and Lorne Holden both former students of THV were up last weekend for a visit. Glad to see you back one and all.
