The bride's small Juliette cap which held her finger tip veil was also accented with small seed pearls.

Leaving Port Perry shortly after 6 p.m. the crowd of merry makers ar- rived in time to spend an interesting and' enjoyable evening watching the show and examining the colourful and lovely cars. Although the spotlight was on the cars, especially the cars of tomorrow, trucks and busses and even a diesel train ditw crowds of speec- tators. ~The lovely Frigidaire pro- ducts and the "Kitchen of Tomorrow" held the interest of men and women alike, Only one conclusion can be drawn. Tomorrow we will all be fat and lazy, for everything is being made so easy for us that all we have to do is push the right button, -- cooking, washing laundry or dishes, keeping our food just the right temperature, in fact sven to doing our driving for us--we are entering the push button era. If we don't find some active hobbies the stream lined look in people will soon be out of date, and all our streamlin- ing will be in cars, -- and there are some beauties in the General Motors line. One thing marred the evening, the host, Howard Challis, was unable to be with us due to an attack of 'flu'. Eastern Star News Blue Ray Chapter, No. 238, 0.

Lyons Brooklin "Combines" last year's OHA Junior "D" champs downed the Newmarket "Smokerings" last year's Junior "C" victors in their own back yard Thursday night by a 5-2 verdict. The game a fast action tilt had plenty of speed for a season opener, and in- terest was never lost as both clubs started out strong. Although the Combines out shot the Smokerings by a lop-sided 43-14 count they were unable to hit pay dirt often enough. As a result the Newmarket team backed up by the steady goal tending of Adair held a 2-1 lead at the end of the second period. Chad- wick from Tessier, and Blackburn were the lone goal getters for New- market. Murray Jones potted the lone Brooklin tally. The third period saw the Combines takg over as they ran up their score to 5. Murray Jones got his second of the night on a pass out from Warri- ner at 3.20. One minute later Fer- guson, Germond and Knapp combined to make it 3-1. At the 10.50 mark iibson started a~play with Carnegie and Germond completing. McMahon completed the locals scoring on a 3- way play with Grant Jones and Ger- mond assisting four minutes later. Brooklin led in the penalty depart- |: ment with 8 compared to the Smoker- ings 6. The same two teams played in Port' Perry Friday night to complete their home and home series, --0-- BROOKLIN BWAMP NE WMARKET BY A 14-3 COUNT Cliff Johnston's flying "Combines" trounced the Newmarket 'Smokerings' Friday night in a return match at the Port Perry Avena by a lop-sided 14-3 count. The "Combines" started out slow, taking a 2-1 lead in the first period on goals by Murray Jones and Jack Germond. McKnight picked up the only Smokering marker. Brooklin operitd the second period when MeMa. hon fired one at 4.53 on a pass from Carnegie; this goal was followed closely when Germond potted one 2 assisting. Warriner scored at 13.49 with assists going to Tureskiand Gib- son, then at 14.24 Murray Jones com- pleted the Brooklin scoring by bent- ing Adair from close in. Million, Wil- son and Graves combined at 15:14 for the visitors only goal of the period. Score Eight The locals had a field day in the final frame as they made the New- market club wish they had never set foot in the arena. The goal hungry Combines netted 8 in their scoring spree. Jack Germond, Elmo Gibson and Bob Carnegie led the attack with 2 each. Singles went to MeMahon and Warriner. Each member of the club picked up points in this wide open scoring game. Tessier, Blackburn and McKnight clicked for the only Smok- ering tallies. Newmarket did not have the speed or the checking ability to keep up with the fast moving Brook- lin club. Newmarket led in penal- ties 9 to 7 with each club receiving a 10 minute misconduct penalty. Mov- up from "D" ealibre into "C" class the Combines showed supremacy as they romped over the westerners team. Brooklin lost 6 players from their championship team and it was learned that the Newmarket squad dropped 4. To-morrow night Lindsay will be the visitors at Port Perry as they will endeavour to break the locals winning strenk. Be on hand to witness an- other thrill packed game as Brooklin will be going all out to make it num- ber three.
