What‘s the matter with the northern end of this Northern Ontaric Hockey Association? Who‘s going to play with whom? Who get byes?

On three previous occaâ€" sions the power company made volun tary reductions in rates, so that the present promise of further reductions may be taken as sincere. The power company supplies power to practically all the towns in this section of the North and also to Northwesten Quebec. Rates are the same in all centres and so have to be ‘based on the general business in the North and not on one particular centre. In recent years the Canada Northern Power Corporation has had an increasing business in the North and has passed on to customers through reduced rates some of the benâ€" efits from the expanding.

They don‘t want to play most of the season with just Noranda and they apparently want to ge. into the Porcupine group and make it a five team affair. The claim here is that it‘s just financialyâ€" impossible to play with Kirkland and Noranda all season. The time it takes to get to those places and back would rule out a good many playâ€" ers who can‘t take a couple of days off from work every time there‘s a hoeckey game to be played. The same should apply to Kirkland and Noranda. Timminsâ€"are granted permission to play out their proposed schedule? These are questions for which noâ€" body seems to have an answer. It‘s now nearly half way through Decemâ€" ber, yet there seems to be no official ruling on what will happen here, and there is no decis.on except in the minds of an odd member of an executive here and there.
