There is a prevailing loose habit of mind on the part of the public to re- gard these cases as ordinary petty thefts. They are nothing of the sort. These crimes were not committed un- der a sudden impulse or temptation; they were deliberately planned. What nonsense we hear! These crimes are punishable by 14 years imprisonment.

The Colts continued to press but the Shamrocks shot the rubber down the ice at every turn, keeping the Colts busy carrying it back to them, only to run into a stone wall six-man _defence lined across the Shamrock citadel. Colts` attempts to score were akin to a goat bunting its head against 9. stone wall. They had much the best of the territorial play, but unfortunately it is goals that count. In the last three `minutes the locals dispensed with the services of their goalkeeper, replacing him with a forward and leaving their goal unprotected. They made a des- perate last minute effort to pull the game out of the fire, but the Sound- ers proved adept at the time-killing game and the gong rang as a silent crowd started to wend its way out of the rink.

The Shamrocks laid down a checking bar- rage which made stick handling and passing almost out of the question, while the Morrison-Anderson defence of the visitors proved a tough stumb- ling block all evening. They were well nigh imprenable. Speed Tells the Tale Superior speed of the Shamrocks, enabling them to shake their checks and skate in on Lang for tries on goal, proved the deciding factor. They al- so had a slight edge on experience and condition. The visitors first two goals were earned but the last was a gift, a slow back-hand bouncing shot from centre ice which hopped over Lang's stick. It was one of those sort which requires a basket to scoop up and Lang made the mistake of not going to his knees. It was not the winning, nor even the tieing goal, but it did much to take the heart out of the locals, coming at a time starting the third period when the Colts were putting forth Herculanean efforts and when a lone counter would have tied the round. \'-L % _ A `I V . -I_ _-_ Round Soon Evened Parry Sound lost no time in knot- ting up the round, Arthurs taking a pass from Mahay a. minute and a half after the face-off to sift one past Lang.

H.| Coleman, W. J. I-Iambly, chairman of the Education Committee and Coun. McKnight. a member of the Audit Board and a mathematician of much ability, wrestled with gures at the county building, guring out county grants and refunds to collegiates, high I. and continuation schools. singularly enough, few of the statements of the secretaries of boards of education and school boards were immune from mis- takes in addition, subtraction or ex- tension. The reports had to be closely checked, involving an immense amount of work. Each day a student attends Barrie Collegiate Institute it costs somebody 59 cents. This was the average for 1928, gured on the basis of the total number of school days divided into the total cost. The cost in Midland was exactly the same, but Orillia did the job for 56 cents. The cost in Al- liston, however, was 67 cents and in Collingwood 81. For the benet of those Barrieites who labor under the impression that Barrie ratepayers pay for the educa- tion of county pupils it should be stat- ed that the County of Simcoe will pay Barrie Board of Education in the way of County grants and refunds for the maintenance of county pupils attend- ing B.C.I. in 1928 the sum of $17,- 877.62. This is more than a third of the board's total expenditure and is exclusive of provincial government grants. A11 Ann 1\/r.-..`l.... rrI ....... ._ n 77 59 CENTS A DAY TO I EDUCATE om: PUPIL!
