In the first period Lindsay scored the first two goals. McGill tallied on a screen shot at 4.04 and the second goal was at 6.31 when the puck was 'shot out of the corner and the Orono goalie juggled it but failed to cover up in time and Davidson banged the loose puck into the net. The Orphans fought back and at 14.66 Welch made good on a pass from Armstrong and at 17 20 Robinson tied the score on a pass from D. West. The second period was full of close checking by both teams and many a three man rush was broken up by heady defensive play. It was not till the 18.31 mark that Lindsay were able to get a one goal lead, Parker scoring to end the play with Crawford and Growden assisting. = Orono were successful in tieing the score again at the 1.26 mark when Mortimer tallied on a play with Welch and Armstrong, but the Orphans just could not hold them and at 3.55 Teel scored on a screen shot and then with less than 8 minutes to go, Growden chalked up another at 17.14 on a pass from Teel. Referee Crombie seemed to favour the Lindsay team in the penalty de: 'partment (namely a deliberate clbow smash to an Orono defenceman but he did not get even-a-warning). The result was a free for all at the end cousin Former Resident Makes Generous Gift to Memorial Hospital Like every average Canadian Com- munity, Port Parry has had its share | of sons and daughters who have tra- velled near and far leaving their | stamp on the life of community and | nation alike. There are those who have reached high positions--just as there are those who seem to go on in their own quiet way from day to day living useful lives, And too, like any average Com- munity, some of Port Perry's sons and daughters have not forgotten the town af their origin --- have not forgotten: heir early days and when fortune has smiled upon them, some of them have shown their gratitude by remembering the home town. Such a thing has just happened to Port Perry within the' past days. One of Port's boys, whose voice has been heard on Radio and who has been seen on TV screens, not only in Canada, out all over the continent, now, for some years, has by a very generous act shown his appreciation to those who had faith in his ability and talent. A few weeks ago a report of a meet- ing of the Women's"Hospital Auxiliary appeared in the Port Perry Star. It spoke of the need 'for a modern oper-! ating table for the Hospital and it old that the Women's Auxiliary had undertaken this as their next project, A few days later one of Port's boys --Joel Aldred--telephoned the Presi- lent of the Auxiliary regarding this table and within less than a week later, the table was ordered. This week it | arrived in Port Perry, was installed. in the operating room, and at the time of writing has already been put to use. Joel Aldred has provided this table valued at approximately $2500.00--as a memorial to his brother Bill and his Bill Morrish, 'both' of whom "of the game where again the Referee seemed to think that the only team that needed réstraining was Orono.

His running commentary elicited chucklés and interested re. marks from the audignce. In her charming way, Mrs,' Merle Letcher thanked . him for his participation in| the evening's entertainment.

Truly here, one might-say "Death is swallowed up in Victory". To say thanks to Joel Aldred is feeble and inadequate--but we believe he wants no other thanks than to know that by his generous gift lives may be saved; lives will be helped; discased and broken bodies will again be made w Tole.
