Elmvale was suffering from too much hockey, having played three games in a week be- fore entering the series. The Air- men, on the other hand, were suf- fering` from too little, they having drawn a bye and took the ice last Friday to play their first league game of the year. They were not long in nding their hockey legs, however, and had a slight edge in the `matter of speed, particularly in St. Jean, their centre man, who turned in one of the best exhibi- tions of skating and stick-har.dl- --.-- _.'I--__\ IARM BROKENTTHRICE IN SAWING MACHINE Russell Lockhart, son of Wm.

I I2 PAGES FITTING TRIBUTE mo MEMORY or-' LATE EARL HAIG Large Numbers, Including Many Veterans, At- tend Service Career pf. This Illustrious Soldier Praised By Minister AT Central United Church was the scene Sunday evening of a par- ticularly impressive memorial ser- vice held as a tribute to the mem- ory of Earl Haig of Bemersyde, Commander-inJChief of the Brit- ish armies in the Great War, who died~suddenly in London on Jan. 30, last. Every seat in the church was lled, the congregation num- bering over 700. The Veterans paraded from the monument in a body and occupied the central sec- tion of the church immediately facing the pulpit and an illuminat- ed picture of their beloved Field Marshal. The church was decor- ated in mourning and large Union v Jacks were draped over the pul- pit and the soldiers honour roll of i the church, while a laurel wreath , of poppies hung in a central posi- _ tion over the organ. The music was in keeping with the occasion and Earl Haig s favorite hymn Onward Christian Soldiers, was sung to open the service. "" - ~-- A 17' D-1..\.. aunts yv uyyu \IOl\4 _...- .... The minister, Rev. A. E. Baker, took his text from St. Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews, Chap. 11: 27, For He endured as seeing Him Who is invisible. The min- ister stated that this was the great chapter of faith in the New Testa- ment, and not only included re- ference to such men of peace as Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and others but also to such mighty men of valour as Moses, Joshua, Jepthae, Samson, Gideon and David. The words of the text were particularly related to Moses, that famous Old Testa- ment leader who through intrigue, discontent, disobedience, days of hunger and thirst, endured as see- ing Him Who is invisible.

Further south and east in the pro- vince there is ractically no ice whatever and a amine was feared it work was not undertaken at once.
