W, Parkinson) Another week has flew past, an- other week closer. to inter-school basketball, hockey - schedules and-- well we might as well face it--ex- Last "week I more or less went out on' the limb and sug- gested that the Port Perry I ,S. tackle rugby. Hopefuls had a rosy chance of seeing their dreams come true. After speaking with one of our prominent citizens, who is: definitely rugby-minded (and whose nam@é 1 will not mention at this stage) and who is the type of individual who backs up 'his interest in sports by digging down into the pocket rather deep, I feel assured something concrete seems to be in the making in the lines of 'real' rugby here for next fall. A rather hasty questionnaire form completed by the members of the local high and public schools showed the | following number of lads would like to participe in hockey. this winter--- Bantams, 26 (8 country, 17 town); Midgets 46 (23 country and 23 town); Juvenile 17 (8 'country, 17 town); Junior 2 (1 country, 1 town). By not attending "the local hockey meeting (and having the rather dubious hon- ; our of seeing our senior cagers go down to defeat at the hands of our Greenbank opponents who were full value for their 04-38 win here 'on Monday evening) I find that I got a job, namely Chairman of the Midget hockey league. 1 only 'hope that I will be able to fulfill this task in such a manner that, each Midget will learn a few fundamentals of hockey and good sportsmanship, and at the same time get an even chance to play as much as his similar aged. buddy. And while on this topic, any midget (that is any boy under 16, as of Novemher 1st) who has not filled in a form and who wishes to play hockey this winter, 'would, be wise to contact me as soon' as possible or to write to Box 64, giving his name, age, and place of residence. All hockey enthusiasts would be wise to follow the local papers for notifications re meetings. -in they As will be noted from now on, a member of the loeal journalism class will be covering all high school games. Don't forget the league basketball games each Monday evening at 7.46. This® week hats-off salute goes_ to nimblé George Rodd, whose consistent practice is paying off around the basket. ~ CLOSING THOUGHT Preventing a goal or basket is as" important as scoring one. This we shall try to put into practice, commencing Monday, November 6th. : oi DAY. Saturday, Nov. 11 In a very few days the citizens of Port Perry will once more be asked to remember the dead of two World Wars by wearing a poppy and, where possible, displaying a wreath in places of business, churches, schools, and in the windows of their homes. When we display thest emblems of remembrance made by 'the hands of "disabled veterans who offered them- selves in our defence, we remind our- selves and our children of the terrific price that has been paid for our free- | dom, and also show the world that these heroes and what they died for shall never be forgotten by us, The funds contributed by the public provider employment for disabled vet- erans, help veterans and the widows and erphans of veterans to obtain their just recognition in the form of pensions and allowances through the Canadian Legion Service Bureaux, and --also- provide our local Legion branch with welfare funds which are used to assist' veterans and their de- pendents who - are in distressed cir cumstances, . The Port Perry Branch of the Cana- dian Legion appreciates the generos- ity and®cooperation of our citizens in the past. Again this year. we solicit your xappery; Planned for New Centre Monday evening in the spacious Del Banguet room, an unusually large number. attended the first hockey : meeting for the district. Under the able pro tem chairman- ship of Roy Cornish, the group got down to business and' set forth a splendid set of regulations to be car: ried out -by a parent body slated - as follows": ) President--Dr, R: S. Irwin _ Vice-President--C. Hewitt Seceretary--Archie MacMaster: "Treasurer--Bruce Beare - These gentlemen will have to-work with' them a Chairman from edch group of teams, namely: Rural Hockey--A. Cawker;. Juvenile--Mr, Gauld; Midget--Mr. Parkinson; Ban- tam--Sam Cawker, assisted by Don Mark. 3 These chairmen can pick to work with them two to four helpers accord- ing to the number of teams formed in their group. The above slate of officers and chairmen were picked by a nominat- ing committee set up in_the earlier part of the evening, when many things were discussed by the group present. "One of which was a survey as to the number of players available in "each class. The results were as follows: Bantam, 26, Midget 46, Juve- nile 17, Junior 8 (20 and under). It was pointed out that the survey was rather hurridly. completed and that it was possible that ever more players would show up when practice began. _ It was felt that until players could get in shape again that the older group should stick to Rural Léagues with an all star group of players to' enter an affiliated league. ' Members of the. old Hockey Ex- ecutive were commended for their perciverance when the going was tough-and-it- was also revealed that they were able to show a small bank balance in spite of the conditions they operated under. Ivan Haugen, whose premises the group. wete so fortunate in being 'granted the use of, also stated his willingness to support one of the younger teams. Fred DeNure and C. Hewitt likewise made known their in- tention of doing the same. _ The chairman of the, Recreation Centre, Ted Jackson, spoke briefly to the group and besides telling what splendid progress the Centre was making, he told the group that he was more than pleased to sec so many wportsmen present las it certainly made one feel that the effort being put forth by committee and commun- ity was going to be appreciated, and while everything was not clear sail- ing he was sure with such enthusiasm the objective was sure to be reached. The meeting closed on the remarks of the new President and Executive. THANKSGIVING SERVICES in GREENBANK UNITED CHURCH on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5th, at 11 a.m, and 7.830 p.m, D.S.T.

GREENBANK DOWNS ILS. 64-38 (by Jack Kippen, Grade 11) It was Greenbank all the way over the High School Monday night in the second game of the schedule. Green- bank outscored the High School boys in every quarter to rack up a convine- ing 64 to 38 win. Lee was the star for the winners with Foster and Beaton close seconds. Cawker was the star for the losers up. Foster "opened the scoring for the winners with two foul shots in the first minute of play. A few minutes GI TRY school. the second quarter but couldn't 'cope with the Greenbank passing plays and great defense work by Beaton and Hugh Baird. The score at half time was Greenbank 17, High School" 9. In the third quarter Greenbank started out well but Port Perry came back towards the end of the quarter with the score at the end of the period Greenbank 31, High School 19. Greenbank - coasted in the final quarter with Jim- Baird and Lee get- ting most of the baskets with Till assisting. Rodd turned on a scoring spree for the losers. The final score was: Greenbank 64, High School 38. JUNIOR FARMERS and JUNIOR INSTITUTE JOIN MEETING (Kay Prentice, Grade VIII) Mrs. Aldred took charge of the joint meeting. The representative from Schneider Meats, showed us his film on The ~Royal Winter Fairt- The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. Mr. Emerson Jennings, as- sistant Agricultural Representative, from Uxbridge, told us about the judging competition to be held in Ux- bridge on Saturday, November 28th. We hope that Port: Perry Juniors will be there in full foree to bring back, some of the prizes. Ethel Day read the "Scandal Sheet" which proved to be very entertaining. Then followed the Public Speaking Contest. Mrs. Alan Martyn was the only speaker, We are sorry other Juniors couldn't find time to prepare a ten minute talk. Mr. Crane commented on the talk, 'and gave us a few useful suggestions. Clara Martyn led the group in a very lively sing-song. We all enjoyed the educational film "Farm Safety." I am sure each of will be a little more careful and not take co many chanées with things which can so casily cause $0 much trouble. . 0 We went to the basement for a lunch of cider and doughnuts. And so ended a very profitable evening. " Members are asked to especially at- tend the next meeting which will be 'i County meeting at Port Perry. PARISH WORKERS (by Nancy Kight, Grade 9A) © On Friday, October 27, the Parish Workers of the Church of the Ascen- sion held a Bazaar in the Parish Hall; Although the weather was very cool the attendance was excellent. licious lunch was served ang the com- pliments received showed that it was appreciated. © Thelhome baking table was a great success and many delect- ablé articles were.sold. = Also very successful was the "White Elephant" table. The articles. sold there were many and varied. One of thé most interesting articles was a tiny ster- ling silver snuff box which had been used by Mis. Spurr's ancestors over 100 years-ago. In'great evidence was the hand sewn and knitted articles.

The pupils, during the: past week, were going around with very gloomy faces, as they have received the time- table for the Christmas exams. The mere thoughts of them puts everyone in a bad mood. But last Friday night, October 27th, all exams and schoolwork were for- gotten while everyone enjoyed the an- nual Hallowe'en Dance. The audi- torium was decorated very appro- piately by members of the Athletic Society. The decorations consisted of black and orange streamers, witches, cats, pumpkins, etc.--eyven a stuffed ghost sitting on the stage with a tall hat on. Corn stalks along the walls, together with real, lighted jack-o'- lanterns certainly gave the auditor- ium a_hallowe'en appearance. About the middle of the evening the dance was livened up by.a confusing "kiss scramble." (Now don't go ruitfing the reputation of P.P.H.S. by taking that the wrong way.) Pop was sold for refreshments any time anyone was dry. - I think everyohe really en- joyed themselves. - The e¢lection was finished off last week and these are the results: Secretary-Treasurer of the Stu: dents! Council is Peter Carswell; Pianist--Eleanor Brabazon; Socigl conveners--Peter Sulman and Fred DeNure, 'Secretdky-Treasurer of the Literary Society is Doris-- DeNure. Sceretary-Treasurer of the Athletic Society is Joyce Clements. Everyone is looking forward to the Commencement on November 17th, Ag a result of this strains of music (sour or otherwise) can be heard fre- quently through the halls. Noon lunches will commence next Monday; Novembér 6th, much to the joy of those who bring their lunieh, COOKIE DAY IS A SUCCESS The Girl Guides and Brownies held their annual "Cookie Day" on Satur- day, dnd were well supported by the people of the district.
