Mr.. F. Hannah, the secretary-treasurer, read the minutes of the organization meeting held at Geo. Sled's on Dec. 20, i&47, and alo the finaiK-'ial state- ment for the year. The report of the auditors, Lloyd Moore and Vic Wright, showed oxpenditmes of over two hundred dollars, with a bala'nce of twenty-one dollars on hand. All agreed a gi-eat deal had been ac- complished in the year toward the improvement of social conditions. A Board of seven members was elected by ballot, using seven names on the ballot, with the highest votes in order for the offices, which ; resulted as follows: ' President â€" Lloyd Hudson.

W, Hickliiig Flesherton senior hockey team held their first practice in the Owi^n Sound arena on Thursday afternoon last, when there were sixteen play ei-s present ofr the work-out. All players of last year were out, with the e^eiption of Ed. Fen-is, stai goallie, who was unable to attend due to his mail route. The n-nv players out for the team were: Bill Lawrence, formerly with Markdale Russell Acheson, formerly with Dur dalk, Bruce Thurston, Jack Milne an<i Stan Teeter, a complete Hnj from last year's Semi-Pro. team. Tie players were under the direction o! Bob Phillips, coach of last yer\\ ai d "Eis well-known booming voice was as strong as ever. Bob put the boys hrough a real brisy .vj'k-out and before the first twenty minutes were passed they felt as thou^rii they had played a whole game. Howev.'i a few more practices wiM have tnem jr good shape. With *.he signing of Bill Lawrence and Rati.

Coach Phillips had these teams playing against each other and for the first practice of the season, th? boys showed some very yood hockey. .\ches and pains predominatd dur- ing the next days, but the players should soon have those muscles in shape w^hich they don't use during the rest oi the year. Shelburne's new arena will likely be completed in time for this season. The roofing is now^ being placed on the building, keeping up with the skeleton erection and one more arch is now being placed. Now, if only Grand Valley and Erin had largei playing surfaces, the teams would enjoy their ^ames, but with the small ice surfaces in these places, some of the teams are handicapped. â€" 0â€" • We live and learn. In last week's issue of the Dundalk Herald, we learn that higli school ooys are not supposed to be playing on the Semi-Pro. teams. This rule was new to us and upon enquiry from the Leaigue officials it was new to them too. As the Semi-Pro. League i supposed to be a training ground for future esnior player, we don't know why such a rule \vould be used. ELECTION LIKELY IN OSPREY TOWNSHIP Nomination day for the ratepay- ers of Osprey Township is next Monday, Dec. 27th, the nominations being accepted between the hours of one to two o'clock p.m., the adver- tisement of which appears on the back page. Osprey's voting stren^h is not sufficient to warrant a Depu- ty Reeve, so it is exipected that the electors will have plenty of choice it an election is held. We hear that Messrs. Archie Buie and Clayton will oppose the present Reeve, Fred Hale. Both men have been council- lors for the past several years and Reeve Hale has given irood leader- ship as Reeve, so the outcome will not be known until election day if they decide to run. The names of George Morrison of Ma.X-well, John Weldrick of Feversham and Eachun Mclnnis of Mclntyre are expected to be nominated, and no doubt there will be others brought fortli on nom- ination day. There is always a good attendance of ratepayei^s at the Os- prey nomination meeting to hear reports from the various memher? of the Council, and if there is an election there will be plenty for the Osprey electors to talk over.

McMulIen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. W. .McMuUen of the west bacidine, a^ed' 23, fireman on the eastbound engine was Silled. The verdict said, in part, that in the jury's opinion, the accident was the result of "gross negligence on the part of the head-end crews ot the ea<ljbound emgines in failing to obsei-ve the aibsolute signal, which "would prevent a train fiom prococd- ing" against an absolute signal." The accident occurred op a single-track section of the main line. The block- ed tracks delayed westbound main line tiaffic for from nine to twelve hours. ir Chapel -. of our ciientclt whkout «xtra cbsrc*. Ill-appointtd ftmily 'reception rooms, and organist.

The hall was crowded to over capacity and they saw a splendid motion picture show given by Dennis Sawyer of Mark- daltt. including several eomiic and educational film,-. Then Santa came on the scene and as the name of each child was called they went forward and received their package. There were ITS children between the ages af two t,i 8 and ti" more up to ten or eleven year? old. This annual happy occasion is eagerly anticipat- ed by the children and their dreams were fully realized to see this jolly old person who spreads happiness and enjoyment at the Christmas season. The Santa Claus day was sopnsored by the Flesherlon branch j of the Canadian Legion iind we are informed that more chitdren were in attendance than last year. Next year we hope there will be many more. Tupling - Dawson In St. Peter's Aniijican Church.

We are grate- ful for the privilege ot serving you, and this brief message is all too inadequate to e.xpress apprecia- tion for yom- consideration and understanding.
