THURSDAY, JANUARY 18TH, 1934 Noranda Loses 3 to 1 at South Porcupine South Porcupine Team Shows Specially Good Form and Put up Notable Game on Thursday Last. The Porkies found themselves in their game against Noranda on Thursâ€" day in the Arena here and h; jded the Copperkings a 3â€"1 defeat. "f the Porkies continue at the same p..,,= they should go far toward winning the N. O. H. A. group. The ice was soft but the eagerness to win, the pep and vitality displayed by both teams, went far to compensate for the slow ice, and the spectators were treated to the best game seen here this season. South Porcupine, Ont., Jan. 16, 1934 Special to The Advance. Right from the faceâ€"off Chevrier and Clark were called upon to stop shot after shot that looked like sureâ€"fire winners. _ Only the spectacular net minding of these two goalies prevented the scoring from being higher. Johns scored the first gcal for the locals on a beautiful pass from Gagnon about half way through the first frame. Proulx put the Porkies two up in the second also on a pass from Gagnon. Noranda came through a few seconds later to fool Chevrier and get their first counter; Rice and Pender sharing the honours. The period ended just as the goal was scored. The third period consisted mostly of heaving the puck up and down the ice. RED RIVER CEREAL Another product of the Maple Leaf Milling Company Ltd. Even the food expert admits there‘s nothing better for the children "Nature‘s Own Food" FOR downâ€"right nourishing food, there‘s nothing finer for the children‘s breakfast than Red River Cereal. Even the food expert will admit that, and many doctors, too. It‘s nourishing! And healthful! The medical profession recommends Red River Cereal because it comâ€" bincs nutritive properties ~cracked wheat, rye, whole flaxâ€"with nature‘s mild regulators. â€" Children love it. Just prove it for yourself by serving it to them tomorrow morning for breakfast. Bcth teams were doing it, the Porkics to clear their area and defend their one goal lead and Noranda to get the puck as quickly as possible into the opposing zone. With the ice soft and slushy it was almo:t impossible to carry the puck and this seemed the only possible thing to do. With five minutes to go Maki put the game on ice for the locals and Noranda, though they played like demons, were unable to score. _ alternate line of Gagnon, Johns and Proulx were the locals‘ best, with Chevrier unbeatable in goal.

An address of welcome was given by the chief of the volunteer fire brigade (Maxwell Smith) and a blessmg asked by Mr. John Mason. The menu, which was prepared by Mr. Wm. Olton, of the Canusa Mine, was turkey with cranberry sauce and dressings, plum pudding, cakes, coffee, tea, frult, sweetmeats, cigars, and cigarettes.

Gallagher toasted the Volunteer Fire Dept.. congratulating them on thoir thoughtful gesture in ‘naugurating such an affair where old â€" timers could fight their old battles over again. Mr. Maxwell Smith in respond‘ing gave the information to the company that if the volunteer fire brigade funds would permit, it was the wislh of the brigade to make it an annual affair but they had to limit their invitation:s by the cash on hand.
