brampton to pay their fines he said that question concerning the proposed metropolitan area for oha hockey which would include both markham and stouft ville still smoulders and after talking to hockeythinkers in both towns one is little farther ahead from a senior hockey standpoint the metropolitan area would be a benefit as it would eliminate the troublesome import problem over city players

these centres are slick ing their necks out fo push for th area in reply to this contention senior hockey proponents point out that their brand of the sport is necessary to make an arena pay and if it didnt pay it couldnt exist no arena no hockey of any kind for either the local lads or outsiders a markham spokesman comes up with the suggestion too that if the metropolitan move does carry it will reach down into the minor hockey ranks and demand that stouffville and markham ice minor teams of a rank your reporter does not thinkithis likely there is something to be said for both schools of thought on the question but it is likely that the presentday hockey which is senior will hold the upper hand and the metropolitan area will come into force those who wish to hold up the move because
