Whitby Juniors--Winners Group No. 3 oM.A. 9903-4 (won 9 1 games, Iost 3). LEST WE FORGET by 'The Old-Tymer' It is with some reluctance that I write of one of my generation whom I knew and admired all through the early years of my boyhood and the long years since, to the recent passing of "BERT SMITH". Much can be written about Bert's life affectionately remembered as "DINNER" by all who knew him, as Citizen-Sportsman-and-Friend. In the Sports field, Bert's first love was "HOCKEY" as the accompanying Photo- graphs will show the prominent part he played, as Coach, Active Player and organizer. Note the early date in this Century of the championship Whitby Junior O.H.A. team. The population of Whitby was some four thousand. Bert Smith continued actively involved as years went by, through the rank of junior- intermediate and senior hockey teams, entered in groups beginning with surrounding towns nearby following the winning championship of their first group then advancing further on, in competition with more distant group winners. Few towns in the Province, of Whitby's population, at season end, ever equalled Whitby's success. Interest in Hockey in Whitby continued year after year and reached its peak when the Town was still small, by conquering that great Russian Team in the Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. The promoters of that Engagement were of Bert Smith's Generation. Showing further, the great and unusual interest develop- ed here in Hockey, I refer you to the picture of Whitby's Girls Hockey Team, organized and coached by Bert Smith. I can recà ll, only one other Ontario Town that could boast of a girls team, namely "HAILEYBURY". located on Lake Temistaming, 350 miles north of Toronto. The Whitby Girls Team received a pressing invitation all expenses paid, to come to Haileybury. The girls, accompanied by Bert Smith, boarded the Temistaming and Northeyn Ontario Railway Train for that long overnight trip into Northern Ontario. To the best of my knowledge, there is only one surviving member of that Girls Team, namely Mrs. Nell Blanchard McClean, still a Whitby resident of her home town, Nell was a great skater and the STAR of the Girls Team. Bert was one of those who gave the sports field con- siderable time, I speak of days when the sports field gave much to add to the character of young men at the beginn- ing of this century - memories remain of this man on or off the ice as one to be admired.
