Well, I guess! south Porcupine wins the round 5â€"3 and will now meet Kirkland Lake, winâ€" ners of the Kirkland Lakeâ€"Noranda playâ€"offs. The first game is to be played at Kirkland Lake on Thursday evening and the return game in South Porcupine arena on Saturday evening. Was that a happy throng that came home on that special? We had hardly dared hope for victory as our lads have not played together more than a month and Monteith is no mean rival to overâ€" come. Was Jim Fell proud of that snappy troop that he had coached past their first playâ€"off millestone? â€" Was Gordon Cross proud of the outfit he had so lately got organized? And were we all delighted with a team that had never stcpped trying. Darraugh was improving at centre with every minute going. Haneberry did some nice work capturing the puck as it was carried to his blue line. Just to make things really sure when the first forward line came back they all closed in and Mcâ€" Caffrey was again the sniper, giving his team the victory in a 3â€"1 score. In the first five minutes of second overtime McCaffrey lifted the old bootâ€" heel from out at centre ice and it dropâ€" ped behind Biacci but those students For the third session a determinedâ€" looking lot of youngsters came out on that ice and how they snapped into that game gave fans some of the greatâ€" est thrills they have had this year. Monteith showed more signs of tiring but those young Porkies were just sparkling with vigour. The longer they played the better they got. Doran did some fine stickhandling. His quick work as Wilson and Dion were closing in on Wilson saved a real threat. Pelâ€" kie was hurt in a trip and helped off the ice. Northern Academy were two men short. Porcupine was doing its best to make good on their advantage when Wilson broke away stickhandled through the whole Porcupine line and beat their goalie for the first counter. It was an effort that brought applause from every side. There were only eight minutes more to go. Porcupine fans had their hearts in ‘their mouth but did those youngsters go into the fray! They were battling with a verve that was thrilling to see and keeping their heads at the same time. Darâ€" raugh, Doran and Mike Miller worked. in close passing and reâ€"passing till Darraugh saw his chance and Biaccl was outguessed for the first time that evening. One minute more ‘of strenuâ€" cus work and the game was slated for overtime. The first ten minutes were scoreless. Dunsmore made a quick break and got away ahead of the Porâ€" ‘kies‘ forward line but the ‘timely work of Parsons saved. The game young Porâ€" cupine crew were featuring their best work of the eveningâ€"just seemed to be getting into the real spirit of the thing. South Porcupineâ€"goal, Wilson; deâ€" fence, J. Miller, Parsons; centre, Darâ€" raugh; wings, McCaffrey, Doran; alâ€" ternates, M. Miller, Pelkie, Haneberry, McLean, Myers (subâ€"goal). The first two periods went scoreless but featured wellâ€"triedâ€"out hockey. Miller of the Academy defence, made some spectacuâ€" lar rushes and has a wicked shot. He was the first to try out Wilson. Hanâ€" nan nearly got through on a rebound. Wilson had to make one of his smartest saves. Wilson, leftâ€"winger for the students, was combining with Hannan for some dangerous work. Play was well divided in the first, Wilson stopâ€" ping celeven shots, Biacci ten. The Academy pressed the play in the secâ€" ond. Wilson had twelve shots to handle to Biacci‘s eight and there were many more wouldâ€"be shots deflected by the Porcupine defence. McLean did some clever picking off when the studâ€" ents were carrying that disc too close to his home citadel. Dunsmiore missâ€" ed his best chance of the evening when he lifted his shot too high as he found himself uncovered right on Wilson‘s docorâ€"step. Hongisto called on Wilson for spectacular work when he got right in on him. The backâ€"checing of the Porkies and the clever stickhandling and combination of Monteith featured this period. Ansonville Woif Cubs hockey team A special train which was very wel patronized carried fans and players down to Iroquois Falls on Monday evening for the second of the playâ€"off games with Montsith, Iroquois Falls being their home ice as their own rink is an openâ€"air one. Goals were to count on the round and from Friday night‘s showing, it was well known that Northern Academy puckâ€"chasers, as coached ‘by Principal Hiscock, were a real contention for the playâ€"off honours. During the preliminary practice before the game started at Iroquois Falls, Jâ€"e Aho, listed on their first line left wing, had the misfortune to crash into the boards and fracture his leg near the ankle. J. Chircoski handled the bell. The teams lined up:â€"Monteithâ€"goal, Biacci; defence, Dunsmore, Miller; cenâ€" tre, Kenny; wings, Dion, Wilson; alâ€" ternates, Hongisto, Hannan, Campbell, were c:x an even footing for Monday‘s In a fine display of hockey on both sides Monteith and South Porcupine Juniors played to a twoâ€"all tie here on Friday evening last. The visiting team showed real class in their forward line and pressed the Porkies citadel reâ€" peatedly. Near the end of the game Myers who had been doing great work in goal for his team, got a puck right in the eye, and the injury made it necessary to replace him with Wilson. When Myers got hurt his team were leading in the 2â€"1 score but sson after Wilson stepped between the posts anâ€" other drifted past him and the teams South End Juniors Win Group Honours Soouth Porcupine, Ont., Fe 1933.

This year he returned to Europe again, interviewing Mussolini; and less than three weeks ago one of his many communications reached The Journal from the "Black Forest" in Russia. "He loved trees, In his nervous eagerness, when he became carried away by his subject, he would recite Joyce Kilmer‘s famous poem, "A med. Only a year ago, campaigning for his cause, he travelled all over Eurcpe, studying the forestry policies of Russia, Italy and cther countries, "In the possibilities of public educaâ€" tion he had a boundless faith. Year after year and decade after decade he wrote letters to the newspapers indicatâ€" ing what he believedâ€"and perhaps rightlyâ€"to be our criminal negligence in the handling of cur forests, pointing the way to wiser policies. There was not a newspaper oflize in all of Canada that did not know him well. Of medâ€" ium build, swarthy, wiry, he lived on nervous energy, his more than seventy years leaving his enthusiasm undimâ€" "There were those who accused him of seeking publicity. One answer to that is that the name of Frank Barnâ€" jum does not appear in any edition of a Canadian "Who‘s Who," that in the Parliamentary Guide (he was a memâ€" ber of the Nova Scotia Legislature in 1926) he summed up his own career in three simple lines. But there was anâ€" octher answer to it, and better. It was that Frank Barnjum spent lavishly of his private fortune to forward his idea. One of his last acts in Canada was to purchase a rich forest preserve in Britâ€" ish Columbia, presenting it to the proâ€" vince as a moenument of possible achievement in forest preservation. "Frank J. D. Barnjum, dead in Paris, was one of those extraordinary characâ€" ters that the generations yield sparingâ€" ly., Up from humble birth to wealth and affluence, a millionaire lumber king Fie devoted more than forty years of his life to a single idea: the idea of the preservation of Canada‘s forests. This, to him, became a passion, and to it he gave time and money lavishly, plus a talent for propaganda possessed few. An idealist, he differed from most idealists in that he would not suffer discouragement, fcught on with an unâ€" quenchable faith in his cause. | ! | l The cables this week brought the sad news of the death of Frank J| D. Barnâ€" Jum, noted on this continent for his tireless and persistent efforts to arsuse interest in the conservation of Canada‘s forest wealth. In years gone by letâ€" ters by Mr. Barnjum in regard to forest conservaticn were given space in The Advance. In the matter of placing an embargo on ‘Canadian pulpwood, howâ€" _ever, The Advance differed from Mr. Barnjum, believing that at least in this province, no matter what might be the case in other provinces, the entry of Canadian pulpwood to the United States market was necessary to assure competition for the puilipwood cut by the settlers and prevent prices for the wood ‘being kept at too low a figure. In view of the fact that United States pulp buyers had to pay extra freight running into four or five dollars a cord, the local mills seemed amply protected without any embargo. Mr. Barnjum‘s efforts for forest conservation in genâ€" eral was of value to Canada and there is little doubt but that his frequent letters to the press, his public adâ€" dresses and his interviews all helped to rouse public interest in the problems of the forest. In the editorial columns of The Ottawa Journal on Tuesday of this week there was a tribute to the late Mr. Barnjum that is worthy of reproduction in full herewith:â€" Frank J. D. Barnjum Passed Away in Paris Noted Advocate of Forest Conservation is Dead. Was Widely Known and Esteemed. Worked for Years to Increase Interest in Forestry. Miss Betty Sinclair continues to make satisfactory recovery at her home here, convalescing after her recent operation â€" Huntingdon Gleaner;â€"S omebod y shcot a wolf at Markstay, Ont.. and because he diin‘t know, left $25 lying right on the road. Shot three times through the breast, Lupus was found dead on the highway by John Green. Mr. Green promptly applied for the $25 bounty, and as nothing is known of the person who shot the wol!lf, he may Canada, continues Mr. Brisbane, is buying $200,000,000 less from the United States than it used to do, and in the meantime it is sellng goods in other countriee while American exports shrink. These words of the wellâ€"known American writer are repeated with a view to the stimulating influence which they should have upon Canadians. It cannot be too often repeated that this Dominion is better off than the neighâ€" bouring republic, and that our people, despite their troubles, should regard this remarkable achievement as a Tfaâ€" son for gratitude, pride and fresh effort balance of $124,800,000. Adverse trade balances must be paid in gold. On the other hand, during the same period Canada dug up out of mines in her northern and northwestern lands gold to the value of $192,500,000. ~After payâ€" ing the adverse trade balance in gold, Canada had $67,700,000 in gold left." It appears that the Minister of Mines paid a short visit to New York for the purpose of telling a group of prominent United States citizens, got together for the purpose of hearing him, something about Canada and Canada‘s gold mines. Quoting Mr. Brisbane again: ‘"Mr. Mcâ€" Crea, typifying Canadian confidence and buoyancy, tells Americans, with a kindly smile: ‘The 19th century was yours; the 20th century is our.‘" Ana the New York editor adds, "The United States, which considers no calf genuine unless it is a golden calf, cannot ignore figures that Canada presents. For inâ€" stance, from April 1, 1929, to December 31, 1932, Canada had an adverse trace The following is an editorial in The Mail and Empire on Tuesday of this weeks:â€"Writing in the Neéew York American last Sunday, the editor, Mr. Arthur Brisbane, said: "A great people, the Canadians, practical, courageous, hardâ€"working, as sure of their great destiny as though no such thing: as depression had ever been seen. This country is fortunate in having such a good example on the North, in a comâ€" try that, by the way, is bigger in terriâ€" tory than this, although its population is less than oneâ€"twelfth of ours. It would have cheered you, night before last, to ‘hear a typical Canadian, the Hon. Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines of the Province of Ontario, talkâ€" ing to American friends assembled by C. C. Conway." THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD, 1933 Brisbane Praises This Country and Hon. McCrea "Precisely in what measure he did succeed, it is hard to say, Canada still lags far behind most nations in the protection of her forests, far behind even such a country as Soviet Russia. Yet it is true, and not even Barnjum denied it, that she is doing far more tcday than twenty or even ten years ago to end the policy of indifference, which has cost her so much. What is being done now may not be the things that Barnjum wanted, yet it is imposâ€" sible to believe that they are not the consequences of his crusade, or that his work was in vain. In any event, and whether he succeeded or failed, the life of Frank Barnjum was a noble example of unselfish public service, stamped him as a true patriot and Canadian.‘"‘ Tree," with a dramatic power and sinâ€" cerity that no one could doubt. And always he would close by regretting that he couldn‘t do more, by a lament that his pen and tongue could not be touched by the fire necessary‘ to arouse the public.
