Like Port they have sore re- placements but on a whole the two clubs seem to be about as evenly matched as last year, The game opened very fast and with Fort serving.4 penalties to Petes 2 the play was rather unorganized at times. Peterboro scored first at 8.12 when Brooks made good on Bryne's pass and from then till the 18.60 mark no goals were geored, but at this time Attersley flipped the puck from behihd the net and it glanced off a skate in- to Peterboro's net to tie the score be- fore the period ended. In the second period Ross Hawe in the Port het held the puck out while Port talied twice. First Bishop assisted by Comport at 7.562 and secondly at 11.53 when Comport slapped it in un- assisted. - Port had only one penalty this period, while Peterboro served three. ba! Peterboro started the third period all out and at 4.22 Dodd scored the same way as Attersley did in the first period when it glanced off a skate in- to the net. Peterboro kept up the drive and at 5.42 Frizelle scored on Ball's pass tieing the game, The tle score held till the 7.52 mark when Dy- kstra tallied unassisted after first making a nice play along with Al. Zedic who took Lowell's pass but shot too high. Corbott however, did not let the Flyers stay ahead for long. He tallied again to tie the score at 11.63 bringing the count to 4 all which resulted in the pace being stepped up just a little. At 11.52 Ed Romanuck stepped out of his box to take the place of Bishop who had finished serv- ing two minutes for charging, puck at same time was shot by a Flyer out toward centre ice but it strock a Fet- erboro player's skate on the blue line causing it to turn over toward Rom- anuck who caught it on his stick and gave it a litle push over the centre line where he picked it up again to bore in on Peterboro net with onlyDe- Haye to beat. The result was Eddie got the winning goal at 11.53, for al- though play was fast and hard there were no more goals scored. Peterboro protested this last goal as being off side, but the referee said he saw the puck hit the Peterboro de- fenceman's skate at the blue line and he called the play O.K. The Flyers meet Peterboro next on Friday. Dec. 17th in Peterboro. It will be a good fast game. Roy Goode Injured By Fallng Tree While working alone in his bush clearing partly fallen trees left by the hurricane a -large tree rolled and struck Mr. Goode on the head, causing extensive injuries. He made his own way out for help and after being ex- amined by a doctor was taken to Osh- awa General Hospital, where he is making favourable progress. Oshawa fo Have Rink (BY-LAW IS CARRIED) By a majority which was sufficient- ly substantial to be decisive, the by- law providing for the expenditure of $90,000 for the construction of an ar- tificial ice skating rink for the child- ren of Oshawa was carried by the ratepayers yesterday. The final ma- jority was well over 1,000 votes, and support for the proposal came from all parts of the city. It was appar- ent that the ratepayers® were to a large extent satisfied that the needs of the community's children for skat- ing facilities were worthy of the ex- penditure of the sum named in the bylaw. ; The carrying of this bylaw by so clear-cut a majority was a tribute to the hard work done by the committee of the city's neighborhood associa- tions which sponsored the project. It was started even before the Oshawa Arena was burned down. For over three years, the proponents of the scheme have been building up support for it, and the final success achieved can be credited very largely to men like Robert Wilson, who in season and out of season, urged the building of a skating rink for children.

At a Liberal convention, held in Sunder- land, attended by more than 300 per- cons, Mr. Harris was named candidate for the Liberal party in that riding of Ontario County which was formed last year. His was the only name put forward. Taking the platform after his nomi- nation ,Mr. Harris, 41, stated that it had long been his opinion that legi- slators were servants of the people and: promised that if he should be clected in any future election, he would never forget it. Speaking of 'the present administra- tion in Queen's Park, Mr. Harris stated that he believed that the time has come when landowners cannot be burdened any further with heavy taxes resultng from increased school taxes and stated that he felt that this burden of cost should not be shouldered alone by the owners of property in the muni- cipalities, < He mentioned also the operation of the HEPC of Ontario and stated that contrary to any promises made by the sovernment that Hydro rates would drop, rates had increased twofold in the past ten years. He mentioned also the current troubles in the department of highways and noted that a labor meeting in Oshawa had turned down a motion of censure aimed at the Highways Minister.

Tuesday, Dec. 7th found the Flyers once again on Lindsay's home ice, but this time the Flyers stayed on top, counting 4 to Lindsay's 1. ! First period play. opened fast but scrambly, Port drawing 4 penalties and Lindsay 3.--The Flyers opened scoring when Fisher made good on Romanuck's pass at 7.62 although the first puck in the net did not count as the Flyer shot from within the crease. The third shot to hit the twine did not count as the Referee ruled that it also had been made while the player was in the crease. But when Dickson tallied from Garrard's pass at 9.58 it made it two for Port and no score for Lindsay: Attersley succeeded in scoring again at 17.38 unassisted be- fore Pearson made good on Graham's pass to chalk up one for the Indians. Port Flyers counted twice and serv- ed two penalties in the second, while the Indians did not score and had to serve 3 penalties. The Flyers first Port Flyers Win on Second Trip fo Lindsay Indians' Home counter was driven home by Johnston after taking the pass from Attersley at 13.11. The second one was not till 17.38 when Ed. Romanuck assisted by Johnston made the completion of a nice play. in the third period the game showed signs of getting out of hand and sev- eral skirmishes occured. Rennick of the Flyers and Carvett of the Indians each drew 5 minutes for roughing. Carvett drew another roughing pen- alty at 5.10 and another Indian player Graham, got one at 9.11. Romanuck served a charging penalty at 15.00, making the Flyers play a man short and then Graham drew two minutes for interference and a 10 min. mis- conduct for wrangling with the ref- erce, The Flyers had two more pen- alties handed out to them, Neil for high stick at 16.26 and Dykstra for clbowing at 17.02, As can be seen neither team were playing the puck to speak of and so neither team scored any goals in the last period.
