Every farmer in Reach Township has benefitted by the splen- did new rel Highway that runs north and south through the length of the Township. We do not begrudge; but we have to help pay for it. The fact of the matter is that the Province is committed to a continued program of road building and those who are fortunate enough to have cement roads built in their] district will not receive much support in an economy campaign from those who though they pay for good roads for other people have themselves to plough through the "Slough of Despond" every spring. - A most determined effort should be made to have this road be- tween Borelia and Manchester constructed at once. It is a case of "Eventually, why not now?" This difference is the payment of the installments a year or two sooner. rrr YY (pr GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES SHOULD UNITE TO POLICE THE SEAS "The great need of the day is the intérnational freedom of the seas for legitimate travel and commercial enterprise. ThTere is grave danger in rivalry between Great Britain and the United States in the building of cruisers each to protect their own com- merce; danger of overtaxation and danger of war. if these two nations could jointly bear the burden of policing the seas, for all, the finest gesture civilization has shown would be given toward the abolition of war. rere (YY Jr. TELEPHONE LINE EXTENTIONS The whirr of an deroplane overhead--which has visited us quite often of late; the unloading of mechanical equipment; the large motor lorries hauling materials to and from railway term- inal ; staff cars hastening up and down highways and byways; re presentatives negotiating for billets for men, sounds all in all like preparations for a new war. All this activity eentred about Port Perry might suggest that this is to be the stronghold. Fortun- ately, this is not the case, as this represents a very peaceful enter- prise: but one which will represent great strides of. development in the communication line. The Bell Telephone Company have started to construct a new line between Oshawa and Sudbury which will handle all their business to Northern Ontario and is being prepared to form a part of the line which undoubtedly will come before many years to span the country from coast to coast, when Halifax will speak to Vietoria over an all-Canadian route with a quality of trans- mission over the circuits which will be equalled on few and excel- led by none on the American Continent. Many months of work were necessary before preliminary plans were complete and the proposed route plotted on a map. The route decided upon follows a straight line from, Oshawa to Gravenhurst and passes just west of Port Perry with a loop into the Bell Office here. An aerial survey was made of the line and photographs ob- tained for the entire length. To avoid unnecessary cutting of trees ; to make use of fence lines, insofar as possible, where private right-of-way-is being followed; to avoid swamps; to avoid build- ings and other physical obstructions, and to permit of accurate locating of the line, the Bell Telephone Company adopted the aerial survey and were pioneers in this: work. The new line will be constructed of creosoted pine poles, mostly 6f red pine native of our Province. To minimise the amount of blasting, but mainly to break the frozen ground, air compressors will be used. .. When the frost leaves machines capable of digging a pole hole six feet deep in less than one minute will undoubtedly be seen in operation as well as caterpillar tractor equipment for numerous purposes. Very heavy wire will be used and four arms will be erected immediately and prepared for the superimposing of the maximum number of carrier circuits which is known better possibly to the layman as wired wireless operation. Developments in the com- munication art have been such that on this line it will be possible for eight people to converse at the one time over one pair of wires or for two people to talk and forty people to be in communication on teletype or telegraph simultaneously. This enterprise, represents an expenditure in excess of a million dollars and will require one year to complete, as it will en- tail approximately 400,000 hours of labor or 275 years of work for|! one man. must be carried out by highly trained telephone workers. ineering but introduces many of them to Canada and the United States.

It's a wow! That's everybody's opinion of the Hockey Tournament now in full swing at the local arena. minute changes and enough good peppy hockey to last this town for the remainder of the season. As a rule nobody knew before the bell rang just what teams were going to oppose each other but in spite of this there has been great interest in evidence at all the games. The surprise of the tourn- ment has been the showing of the strengthened local hockey team. On Friday last they. defeated the much- talked of Bank of Commerce team 5-3 and 'on Tuesday night they. did the seemingly impossible by eliminat- ing the strong Oshawa Simcoes by a score of 4-5. As a result of their victory the locals go up against the other Oshawa team this evening in the final game. The committee in charge were very successful in securing good teams. Both Oshawa teams, The Bank of Commerce, and the Toronto Stock Yards, all come here very highly re- puted. The other teams, while per- haps not quite so well known have put up remarkably good showings. The ability of the committee to se- cure teams on short notice has been little short of marvelous. None of the teams previously scheduled to meet Monday night were able to play and yet, on Monday night, the com- mittee turned up with a full bill of fare. And some menu it was, too! Bushels of lightning fast hockey, a small mountain for a goal tender, and a couple of fights thrown in for good measure. But more about that later. The success of the tournament is due, in no small measure, to the un- tiring efforts of Dr. J. A. Mathers, secretary of the Hockey Club, who has labored unceasingly to secure teams and to boost the Tournament generally. There have been fair crowds at the games but there could be better. Let's everybody be at the old arena for the final to-night. Raise the roof if you have to but help the boys to keep those watches in town. And now to details. The First Night--Friday. The opening game of the tourna- ment found Oshawa Simcoes and Lindsay as opponents. It was some game. Lindsay gave Oshawa a reat battle all the way. The- score which was 5-2 in favour of Oshawa doesn't mean a thing. That old rubber disc kept flying from one end to the other until one got dizzy following it. Both goalkeepers had plenty to do and showed up well, Oshawa scored three times in the first period and twice in the third. Lindsay go on counter in 'each of the last two periods. Whit. ten, centre for Simcoes, was the star of the game. Lindsay -- goal, Rich and Reeves; Golden; centre, defence, Morden; wings, Forbet and Gerster; sub, Grafton. 3 Simcoes--goal, Garrison; defence, Walton and Brinning; centre ,Whit- en, wings, Peterson and Burr; subs, rey and Atkinson. ! Referee--N. DeShane. The Second Game The second game brought the Can- adian Bank of Commerce and the Port Perry team strengthened with two Whitby men. ~ While it lacked the spectacular play of the first the. score was much closer and because a local team was playing the interest ran higher. To the. surprise of many the locals finally carried of the honours 5-3. Smith, imported for the occasion, 'had a lot to do with the locals victory.

THE SECOND NIGHT-- MONDAY The curtain-raiser on Monday night featured the powerful Oshawa City team and the Toronto Stock Yards, last season's mercantile champions. It was. a fight. from start to finish and included a couple of real seraps, too. Kenny Kane 'was the meat-packers' best, while Houch, Joyce and Crossett, all starred for Oshawa. There was much high stick handling and the referee had a hard time keeping the game in check. The second period, when - the Yards outscored Oshawa, 2-0, was about the fastest hockey of all five games. In the first and third, however, Oshawa got 3 and b goals, respectively and won easily 8-2, Near the middle of the third period proceed- ings were marred by two near fights. As near as can be learned this is what happened. The puck was shot to Crossett, Oshawa defence man, who deliberately held it. The referee should have rung his bell then. Before he did, however, Kane, for Stock Yards, was in fast and' (perhaps playful) massaged Cros- sett's shins with his stick. Perhaps Crossett deserved this for he had tried to delay the game before, but that does noteexcuse Kane. Crossett did not think so anyway for he lit into Kane, When they had been separated, referee Lavery motioned Kane off the ice. Kane, we under- stand, put hi§ hand on Lavery's shoulder to remonstrate with him, but Lavery mistaking it for an assault, turned around and hit Kane. That, as near as we can gather, is an impartial account of what happened. Draw your own conclusions. Oshawa -- goal, defence, Crossett and Bond; Joyce; wings, Houch and Rowden; sub, Mors Stock Yards--goal, Christie, de- fence, Robertson and Ganton; centre, Kane; wings, Brydson and Lemoine; subs, McKay and McManus. The second game was rather med- jocre hockey in comparison with the first. It was between Stouffville and Beaverton. The high light (note that word high) was the Beaverton goaler Peterson who was about like a baby Woolworth Building but played a fast game in goal never the less. Stouff- ville won this game in overtime 5-3. THE SEMI-FINAL--TUESDAY The highly unexpected took place on Tuesday night when Port Perry nosed out Oshawa Simgoes 5-4.

Yet they deserved to win. MacGregor, Walters, Raines, Naple, were all good and Smith, the goaler borrowed from Oshawa City, was wonderful. MacGregor and Raines, each got two for Port, Walter, one. Whitten and Brunning were the Oshawa stars, Simcoes got three in the first and one in the last. Porl scored four in the second and one in the final period. Port Perry--goal, Smith; defence, Naple and Raines; wings, MacGregor and Moore; centre, Walters; cubs, King and Brock. Simeoes--goal, Harrison; defence, Walton and Peterson; centre, Whitton, wings, Burr and Peterson, subs, Grey and Atkinson.
