She had planted an Easter lily in her garden last spring and when the frosts "came she brought it into the house. Now that Christmas is about here it has put forth bloom. Seemingly if it can't commemorate the resurrection it When Santa came to Port Perry on Saturday he was greeted by an en- thusiastic crowd of folk, both young and old. Santa was met at the high School, where he arrived in his usual magic way, by a parade of decorated cars, trucks and clowns .led by the Port Perry Cadet Corps Band. There was also expected a band from -Lind- say, but they didn't arrive. The parade continued down the main street to the Memorial Arena where Santa's helpers distributed some 13560 bags of candies to the youngsters who crowded around the jolly old Saint." (this is the largest number to have come out to meet Santa since the start of this annual custom). After the parade Santa visited each store personally and talked with a lot of the shoppers. Two draws were made during the afternoon for hampers of groceries. In all six bushels of groceries were given away at each draw. While we are talking of Santa and Christmas let -us remind you of the contest regarding the decorations out- side of homes in Port Perry. You can fix it up anyway you like but keep in mind that the judging will be done after dark and so lighting will be an important part of the decora- tions. Judging will be done on the evening of the 20th, WINNERS OF GROCERY HAMPERS WERE-- Mrs. John Ballard, Port Perry Ms. Wm.

Mr. Edgar Leask, Port Perry Brooklin Hockey Team Lead i in Junior "C" Group - BROOKLIN AT ORILLIA Hi There! Let's face it at once. We have some bad news this time. Brooklin lost to Orillia on Wednesday night to the tune of 6 - 4, We have one excuse, we didn't have a full team that night. Jim Topping, Brooklin goalie, is "just getting over a bout of pneumonia and was unable to take his usual place. Other stars like Fer- guson, Gray, R. Jones and Bob Car- negie 'were unable to play on account of exams or sickness. : Orillia were really up and ready for the game. They had the St. Cather- ines sub-goalie, who, incidentally, is not signed up with them. Brooklin and Orillia are now tied for first place with twelve points each. Orillia has played one more game than Brooklin, ¢ In this particular game the Bull- dozers were moving faster than the Combines and it really paid off for Orillia. Let's hope that it will be different on Saturday, when Orillia play Brooklin on the home ice. The stars of the Orillia. game were Keast | and Burtch, both of Orillia and Mor- den of Brooklin. ORILLIA AT BROOKLIN SATURDAY, DEC. 13th Brooklin Combines stormed back into first place by a score of 7 to 3 when they trimmed the Orillia Bull- dozers on home ice last Saturday night. " Brooklin was out to revenge the loss on Wednesday in Orillia and they did just that, playing heads up and really clean hockey. There were only seven penalties in the whole game, 3 to Brooklin and 4 to Orillia, all minor penalties. This was the kind of game the fans love to watch. BROOKLIN AT WHITBY MONDAY, Dec. 15th Well, Brooklin goofed again, We lost to Whitby 9 to 2. Whitby team are really starting to fly, and the Brooklin team was not at full strength again. Here we are in the same predicament that we were with Orillia. Brooklin will really have to play good hockey on Saturday night if they are to out score Whitby and retain the first place. Let's all get out to the Memorial Arena, Port Perry and give them the support they need to put another win on the score sheet. You do your part and the players will do theirs. Don't forget the time--8.30 Satur- day, Dec. 20th, Lucky Phone Call To Mrs. Hall Mrs. Audrey Hall of Port Perry won $2249.00 on the T.V. program "Love or Money", in New York but coming to us from WBEN Buffalo.

That it pays off to make some effort to work out a sys- tem of handicaps and rules which help to even up the chances of winning points, was amply demonstrated. When finishing the first section there was only nine points difference be- tween the first seven teams of the twelve team league, Perhaps we could explain something about the system of handicaps work- ed out for this league. This season the teams were allowed two dummy scores of 140 pins if one man was away and the lowest man of the five present bowled less than 140 including his handicap the team could use the dummy score of 140 in his stead. If two men were away the same thing 'could be applied for two scores. This gave every team a chance to place in the competition. The handicap is based on a 160 score, making a maxi- mum handicap of forty. In the sec- ond section another change has been made. Due to the number of men who work on night shift a seventh man fs allowed to be a member of the team, but only six will bowl on any one night. The results of the turkey roll follow: High Single Winners of Capons-- Gord. Thomas--300 George Long--3563 -Ron Owen--324 Robt. Howsam-----292 Jim Redman---277 Earl Redman--256 Roy Graham---238 Don Freeman--232 John Beckett--230 Fred Olsen--206 Norm.
