Jr. Farmers' Choir Zrepare for Concert The Ontario County Junior Farmer Choir was organized in January 1954. Each year since that time, the choir has staged many successful musical presentations. - Last year they pre- sented "Talent Showcase" and the year before "Holiday". This year the choir is planning to present "MUSICANA". The dates for pre- sentation are: BROOKLIN--Friday, March 7th UXBRIDGE--S8aturday, March 8th members. With the larger number taking part, !'Musicana" 'should be an even more "pleasing presentation than the fornier programmes put on by the choir, Musical instructor for the choir, as in former years, is Mrs, Elsie Dobson. 'The membership. in the choir this |tw year has increased from 856 to 650 On Monday last the Port Perry | ¥ 1.G.A's came through with an 8-4 count to down the Uxbridge crew in the first game of their best two out of three O.M.H.A. play-offs. Port took anjearly lead in the game and had no trouble holding it until the last whistle. The first two per- iods were very mild with not much bodychecking' or roughing but the last period was a different story when tempers really broke loose. Double of Port who 'was slashed heavily ac- ross the back started the ball rolling when he took on one of the Uxbridge forwards and when the referees were getting these two straightened out Holliday of Port took on Gary Houck (the Uxbridge tough boy) and brought him down to size. The referees fin- ally got things back to normal and handed out four penalties, two to each club, In all there were twelve penal- ties handed out with Port receiving eight of these. These teams are very evenly match- ed with exception of the goaltending. Young Neil Wanamaker. in the Port net did a terrific job in keeping that red light from blinking. The second game will be in Uxbridge on Thursday (to-night) at 8.30 p.m. If Port win this game they will move on to the second round of the play- offs, Who the next team will be we' do not know 'as yet. This game should be a thriller as Uxbridge must have a win to stay in the running, so anything can happen. Uxbridge is only 15 miles away so let's get over there and give our boys some support. In the Bantam and Midget play- downs, Uxbridge defeated both our teams which eliminates them from any further competition this year.

The Liberal Nomination will be held at the Whitby Town Hall on Wednes- day, February 19th at 8 p.m. and Claude'Vipond expected that the meet- ing would be well attended by Liberal delegates from all over Ontario County.
