Roberts, retir- ing President of the Ontario Secondary School: Teachers' Federation, in Toronto during the holiday week has achieved pub- licity it little deserved. = In essence it was an attack upon some of the innovations being introduced into the Ontario School system. We do not question Mr. Robert's right to speak out freely and to speak as he wishes . . . we do think that in view of his position, he might have given more - consideration to the responsibility of his office and discharged it with more credit by talking about the really significant pro- 'blems with which the Federation and the school system is faced. The cost of education must increase; teachers require and must be paid better salaries; school plants must be built and they must be good plants,--to skimp on school buildings has always proved to be .a "penny wise and pound, foolish' principle; our educational services will expand, and the extension of services will cost money. One of the teachers and crucial problems on which school boards and interested taxpayers must get together is the pro- blem of where this money is to be found. It is obvious that we can't go on loading: more and more of the burden on the local ratepayer, Another problem has to do with the co- operation between the home and the school. It is obvious to any parent and to most teachers that we need to do.a better job of teaching the enduring values than we are doing at the moment . . . or than that which- we have done over the past 25 or 50 years. This is a problem the ho and the school and the church should wor together on far more than they are doing at the present time. That is why we feel that the President of the Teachers' Federation is ill-advised to devote himself to attacking report cards of a local community and misguided in 'making sweeping denunciations of innova- tions which he disapproves personally and of which he, apparently derstanding.

Coach, Don Mark's lads got off to a poor start in the first period from a scor- ing standpoint at least, as they trailed 2-1 at the close of the initial stanza that saw Port Perry have a tremen- dous edge on the play but erratic shooting coupled with some sensation- al goal tending by Ronald Lee in the visitors cage gave the Beaverton squad a one goal advantage, First counter of the game came at. about the. four minute mark as Van Camp drove home n_loose puck from a few feet out, while MacDonald and Bar- rowlough-got one cach for the visitors on end to end rushes that featured some fine passing. * From the -opening of the second period the home crew surged ahead as Dave Johnston tied the score two- all after forty seconds of play and then well on in the stanza gave the homesters the lead as he again beat Lee on a clever effort from close-in. Port Perry changed goalies for the "third period as juvenile-aged, Keith Sweetman took over from midget-age Jack Owen for the final session, (both boys are friendly rivals and fine pro- spects for future stardom.) Beaverton, who had been held up by some sensational play by goalie Lee, forward Howes and Defenseman Bar: rowlough could not stand-up under the terrific pressure being put oh by the home squad and in the early minutes of the thivd perfod the roof finally fell 'in on the visitors. Fairman, Pallock, | Cochrane, G. VanCamp all tallied single counters for the home team and ren two, without a single reply from the visitors.

His house guests were both Fyouns men, and though he says it is them he wants to meet again, both Gene and I strongly suspect he is just as eager to check on the two young Scot lassies who also made the trip. Norman, who started plowing with horses at the age of nine, and then switched to tractors three years ago, also comes by his skill through the family.

Robinson, assisted by linemates D. Mark and Bud Heard potted two mar- kers in the first period to give the home squad a 0-2 lead which they held until the cight minute mark of the second stanza when McGilvray beat Gord Carnegie in the Port cage. For the next 5 minutes the visitors, trail- ing 2-1 put on their best performance of the evening but Carnegie was the big stumbling block in the Woodville attack. Toward the latter part of the period, the homesters second line of Cochrane, Drurie and Ken Mark start- ed to click and tallied twice, Cochrane getting the first while K. Mark tal-. lied the other to bring the second per- fod score to"4-1 in favour of P, Perry. ~ As is becoming the habit in hockey games in Port Perry, the visitors have - a rough third period, and Woodville found themselves no exception. Ag- gressive Don Marks took Robinson's pass to poke it by. Sweet at the one minute mark, while twelve seconds later Robinson skated in on the Wood- ville cage to beat Sweet again on a 'solo effort. Fifteen sctonds later K. VanCamp set up Ken Mark for his second tally and for the third Port marker in 27 seconds; this raised the score to 7-1 for the home erew. Things remained anything but sweet for the Woodville netminder as Don Mark tal- lied again on a pass from Robinson about two minutes later for his 2nd goal of the evening which brought the score to 8-1. Drurie scored the final Port tally as he picked up a re- bound from Sweet with a little over five minutes remaining and seconds later McGilvray finally tallied for the visitors to end the scoring and mak-. ing the final score read Port Perry 9, gave him four tallies for the evening and closed the scoring. . Despite the nine pucks that eluded him, Lee in the Beaverton net was possibly the star of the game while Johnston, VanCamp & Fairman were the pick of the home crew. The game.was ably officiated, with- out the assistance of a linesman, by -- self a plowman of note, : Norm was born on his father's 100-acre farm at Richmond Hill and now, in addition to helping his father work the family acres, works another 150 acres which he himself rents for mixed farming (Holsteins. and Yorkshire hogs). It is customary for the team manager to say something about | himself in this first letter, so here | goes. All the five boys in our | family entered agriculture in some branch or another. Three of my, brothers are still farming. My son and daughter and my son-in- law are all Ontario Agriculture College graduates and in the farm- ing industry.
