Dancing was under subdued lights in the beautifully decorated; gym of the High School where the Hiew hard- wood floor provides an excellent danc- ing surface, The program was varied with Al. Haryey providing entertain ment during intermission. Al was his usual jolly self and his amusing songs and anecdotes were well received, A delicious lunch of sandwiches, cake and coffee was served in the high school auditorium, at which time the Lions showed their helpfulness to community activities by giving con- siderable time to the Chinese auction of a hockey stick for the local "Mem- crinl Gardens Committee", The hockey stick which had been procured by Dr, Armstrong was inscribed with the names of the Toronto Maple Leaf team. : ~The committee in charge of "the dance arrangements, who did a splen- did job in regard to this their first dance, feel that they are now prepared to plan an even better event for their TRUCKMEN SR. "B' CHAMPS, BID FOR EUROPEAN HOCKEY TRIP Oshawa Truckmen, who undoubted- ly are the best "road" team in hockey, are hoping to make their longest trip of all in 19565. Truckmen officials revealed team will apply to the CAHA for per- mission to represent Canada in the next world hockey championships in Europe, General Manager Wren Blair said the Truckmen, who defeated Simcoe Gunners to-win the OHA Senior B title, will forward their application to the CAHA meeting at Vancouver next week, "I know the CAHA has said it will send only senior A or junior A teams over to Europe after the poor showing by East York Lyndhursts," Blair said. "But, our club is actually of Senior A calibre. Look what happened to Lyndhursts in our playoffs. Stouff- ville eliminated them easily and then we knocked off Stouffville, "We tried all last summer to, get into the Senior A' league but were re- fused because of the travel involved. In exhibition games we tied Hamilton Tigers, 3-3, and beat two junior teams Guleph Biltmores, 10-6, and Barrie Flyers, 7-2." _ Propose Test Game the |. lost $3,800 in Sa parent. It was al-- "most the end of the club, which had 7 been operating only one year, but of- ficials décided to keep opérating. They purchased new equipment and played their home games in their lea- gue at Bowmanville. After the first game of the playoffs, however, lack of support forced the Truckmen to transfer their home games to their opponents' arenas. They have played away from home, three nights a week, for the past six weeks, -- They won 16, lost 6 and tied 2 as a "road" team, eliminating Kingston Goodyears 4 games to 1, Peterborough Petes 4-1, one.game tied (all played at Kingston) and Stouffville Clippers 4.2 before downing Simcoe Gunners 'in the All-Oatario final. District Players Under Coach Ernie Dickens, former NHL star, the Truckmen are mostly average junior players, mainly from Oshawa and district. Truckmen lost "quite a bit of mon- ey" this season, Blair revealed, but they plan to operate next year at the new Whiby Arena. Meanwhile, they figure a trip to Europe as Canada's representatives next winter, would be an. ideal solu- next annual "Charity Ball." The Lions Club were pleased to see visitofs from the Bowmanville, Osha- wa, Fort Erie and a 8 Horie Ob, Road Accidents Kill 59 in Two Counties Last Year A -big increase in the number of 'highway accidents in the counties of Durham and Ontario, during 1953 as compared with 1952; is reported by the | Ontario-department-of highways. In Ontario County there were 945 accidents reported in 1953 as conipar- ed with 750 during the previous year. Of the accidents-last year 27 brought fatalities as compared with 23 in thie category. in, 1952, The report also states there weryp 49 personal injuries as against 239 in the previous year; while property da- mage resulted in 669 .instances as a- '| gainst 488 in 1952. The Ontario County . report also shows 35 people were killed as _com- pared with 23 during 1952. In addi- tion 404 were injured as compared with 359 in the previous year. In Durham County a total of 512 accidents were reported as compared with 473 in 1952. Of these 20 result- ed in fatalities and 146 personal in- juries as comparéd with nine dl 164, repectively in 1962. The report shows that 346° of the accidents in Durham last year result- ed in property damage as' compared with 312 accidents in this category in the previous year. A total of 24 persons were Killed i in Durham. County accidents last year as against nine the previous year; while 261 were injured as compared with 258 the previous year. Blair proposed a test game involv- ing Oshawa and a club from a strong- er league -- possibly Edmonton oil -| Kings, who are still waiting for Que- bec and St. Catharines to declare the Eastern junior champs--to give CA- HA officials an"opportunity to decide the strength of the Truckmen, "We'd be willing to play E dmonton in the Gardens," Blair offered. "Of course, the Western champs might not want to risk any injuries, but we would play Qlympie rules, with no hard checking." The Truckmen are in the {mique position of being perhaps the only club in Canada that could actually af- ford to make the trip to Euroyfe. Since they have no home arena, they have no worries about losing any big gates. Lost Equipment . When the Oshawa Arena burned down -ast September, the Truckmen Curling Club Organized The Port Perry Community Curling Club was organized at a meeting held April 29th, in the" High School. With reasonable assurance of fair ice conditions being provided in the arena it was decided to play one each week during the winter.
