The "Midgets Had a Glorious Time Hero Worshipping A really fine occasion was planned + by the Lions Club for the "Midget" hockey players of Port Perry. The event took place in the Sunday School room of the United Church last Frida night, when the ladies of the Church pre ared a banquet for the young ockey boys, the visiting Maple Leaf champions, the Lions and their friends. The banquet was all that a banquet should be--in quality and quantity, The boys were satisfied, and then some, But eating wasn't the main part of the proceedings. There, sitting at the head tAble, the Yobiigyiers could gee their hockey heroes--"Happy" Day, Maple Leaf coach; Foster Hew- itt, world renowned hockey. broad- caster; "Teeter" Kennedy, and Elwin Morris, They came to Port Perry at the request of Col. Wm, MacBrien, Vice-President of the Maple Leaf Gardens, Lion Cecil Ptolemy wel- comed the guests on behalf of the Lions Club, and asked for a standing tribute to the young men from this vicinity who had given their all in the WAT, The occasion of this notable gather- ing was the presentation of the Frank Dawes Memorial Cup to the "Midgets" This delightful ceremony was per- formed by Mr, A, N. Bands, a Director of the T. Eaton organization, and «a close friend of the late Frank Dawes. Reeve Letcher presided over this gathering, He it was who brought these popular hockey men together, and persuaded Col. W. A. MacBrien to honour th@ ocasion with his pre- sence, In presenting these guests to the audience, Mr. Letcher called on Mr. H. G. Hutcheson to introduce Col. MacBrien, which he did in happy fashion. Col," MacBrien gave thumb nail pictures of the hockey stars who came with him, and invited next winter's winning "Midgets" to go to Toronto as guests of Maple Leaf Gardens to witness an N.H.L. game. Later, Fos- ter Hewitt invited the youngsters to inspect his "gondola" where the ;broadeasting is done. That will be a great occasion, The presentation of the cup was the occasion to introduce Roy Cornish, the "Midget" coach for fourteen years, The unstinted applause he re- ceived from the boys and the audience was evidence of appreciation for hig continued effort for the hockey young: asters, Mr, Cornish explained what was being done in this connection, and arranged that Art Sheridan, the cap- tain of the winning team, should re- ceive the cup. The presentation was then made by Mr, Sands, who paid tribute to the late Frank Dawes, and congratulated the winning team upon their success. ) Art Sheridan received the eup with brief - words of thanks. A gracious recognition of the "losers" brought those young lads to their feet amid hearty applause. You can bank on it, they will be in the winning next win- ter if they can, especially with that Toronto invitation before them. Then followed brief addresses by the Toronto hockey stars. "Happy" Day is well named. His words were wholesome, and full of happily worded advice, One fact should be noted---- "Happy" neither smokes nor drinks, and the same holds good with "Teeter" Kennedy, This is remark- able in a day when smoking and drinking are so common. This state- ment received enthusiastic applause from the audience, [cach speaker, in his own way, told the boys how to become hockey stars, and in the telling there was no hoast- ing; but there was keen appreciation of the other fellow. The hockey "quiz" was the high- light of the evening. The boys had plenty of questions to ask the players; and those questions were cheerfully apswered, Doubtless they gained many "pointers". : Foster Hewitt deseribed broadeast- ing, telling of the Saturday night events; the fifteen minute summary for overseas, and the 25,000 miles of wire that are used to earry the broad- casts, By special request he gave a brief broadeast in real Foster Hewitt style.
