The Club Exgcutive and a few of the parents have done all the driving over the past years. Our Executive are doing a'fine job but they would like to be at-home at least one night of the week, If the parents of these players do not respond to help their children out we will have to pull our teams out of their organized leagues so that there will be no travelling, which' will mean no hockey. We are appealing to you the par- ents for your support so -please offer your services, Barry Howey, President, Port Perry Hockey Club Minor Hockey Weelin Canada JAN. 25th -- FEB. 18t The Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation has designated the week of January 25 - February 1 as "Minor Hockey. Week in Cangda". Right «- cross Canada, from Atlantic to Pacific hockey men will pay tribute to the work being done for minor hockey. They will take time to pay tribute to the 'men who make possible hockey for boys---the men who are the volun- teer workers--the manager, coaches, local league secretaries, and yes, even the volunteer referees. Without these men there would be no minor hockey. And if no minor hockey, No HOCKEY! In Ontario, the observance is under the direction of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. The O.M.H.A., in turn, is co-opera- ting with other affiliates to make Minor Hockey Week a successful' ven- ture. O.M.H.A. Executive members are all 'busy lining up special pro- grams in their respective districts. Special nights will be held in practi- cally every City, town and village with teams entered in the Ontario Minor Hockey Assdciation, and that's practically every City, Town and Vil- lage in Ontario. Teams-will be hold- ing their own "Minor Hockey Night" 'during the week, featuring special programs, important minor hockey games, lucky draws and door prizes. O.M.H.A. President Jack Oakes and every member of his executive will be out to these special games every night during Minor Hockey Week. There will be press interviews, spe- ¢ial publicity, radio and television ap- pearances for every phase of minor hockey--players, coaches, managers, secretaries, referees and individual members of the O.M.H.A. executive-- thus covering every field of endeavour connected with the training of better Canadian "citizens through participa- tion in Minor' Hockey. All in all, "Minor Hockey Week in Canada", and especially in Ontario, looks like a big week for the young- sters and the men who work for them. And a busy week fof the officials. , Keep Canada First--Support Minor Hockey. [] 4 [] Ladies' Curling The Ancients thought the world was flat, The gals who Curl, thought the ice was that.

In 1941 the total population of the County was 67,000," in 1956, it had risen to 108,000. In 1941 there were 3900 farms in the county, by 1961 there were only 3300, and by 19566 there were only 3100, meaning a loss {o agriculture of 57,000 acres. In 1941 there were 12,500 horses but less farmers and more tractors reduced this number to 3,600 by 19566. Cattle, however, showed an increase of from 60,000 in 1941, to about 78,000 in 1956. Sheep dropped from 25,000 in 1941 to 15,000 in 19561 and then rose again to 17,000 in 1956. Between 1941 and 1956 the number of hogs in the County dropped from 52,000 to 43,000.
