'A total of thirteen penalties were handed out in the game by referees Jim McBarlain and Boony Irwin, Nine of these penalties went to the Com- bines. Carnegie scored the ally goal of the first period when" he stole the puck from an Aurora defenceman and blasted a shot, giving Child in the Bear's net, no chance on the play. In the second period Germond scored after twenty-two seconds of play to make the score 2 to 0. Carnegie got' his second goal of the game about mid-way in the second stanza.

Mr. Reesor ran out of licenses before all were supplied, Wonder if it will be like this next year? Cuband Scout Mothers Auxiliary Many interested mothers of the Cub and Scout Auxiliary assembled at the home of Mrs. E. Kennedy, on March 10th. The meeting was pre- sided over by the capable president Mrs. H, Edinborough who requested all repeat Scout benediction, after which a welcome was extended to all. Minutes were read by secretary Mrs. L. Beacock. The treasurer Mrs. H. Gibgon was unable to be present but didn't neglect to send a brief report. Mrs, King and Mrs. Cook had mailed several sick-cards. We are sorry to lose a valuable member Mrs. N. Lamont, who before moving with her husband and family, was recently presented with a cup & saucer bearing scout emblem. Stove committee reported wiring completed on newly purchased gas stove which worked ideal during last banquets. The travelling apron has been. calling on several mothers, it plans to continue its trip. It appar- ently proved agreeable to vote a sum of one hundred.dollars ($100.) in aid of Scout Building Fund. We appreciate the time and effort on the part of Mr. H. Hall who ar- rived and illustrated the blue-print of the suggested wing. Therefore Howard was confronted with many questions to answer; but we all gain- ed a clearer idea of the layout. Now plans were outlined pertain- ing to Curling banquet, plus couple of weddings in near future. Mesdames Lane, Kennedy and McDonald were named as nominating committee to 'Ichoose the new executive. 'Mesdames Edinborough, Reesor & Cook to over-see planing the "where and what" of the mothers special annual outing. It was pleasant to see Mrs. Kerry's face again. Meeting adjourned by |all repeating Scout Mizpah. An ap- petizing lunch was supplied by Mes- dames Mairs, Hawkin and McDonald. IN OUR TOWN "Can Spring Be Far Away" With longer days of sunshine and the, slowly shrinking snow banks we are beginning to think that summer will soon be here. We are thinking of spring gardens, green lawns and summer trips. Sounds. wonderful, doésn't it? ,We know, too, that the best gar- dens and best holidays require some planning. Flower catalogues and road maps are likely to be spread out and studied long ahead of time and detailed plans made for the spring and summer, Garden planning is very much akin to park planning. Now is the t me to think aobut it, . . . . to decide what should be done. Already the town has made "big strides in cleaning up the lake front extending and widening the bowling green creek where "it passes through the swamp and clear- ing up rubbish along the shore line particularly at the east end, of Mary street where it separates the lake- front Park from: the Yacht Club, Tripp Construction Ltd. have been .butions of nioney averaging $30.00 Scouts and Guides Congr atulate The Good Drivers A special vote of thanks is due the driving force who are at present cam- paigning the area for contributions to the building fund for'the new addition to our meeting hall which is instru- mental to good Guiding and Scouting. The keen interest of our leaders is maintained largely by your moral sup- port. Approximately forty-five of our adult members have displayed in- testinal fortitude and strength of character in accepting the undesirable job of soliciting money. Providing a meeting place proves to your leaders that you approve of the principles they teach and that you are willing to help in the character build- ing progranime. At a recent meeting, twelve contri- each, were received. If for any reason you have not had the opportunity to support this effort and would like to do so you could send your contribu- tion, large or small to our secretary- treasurer, Mr. J. Jefford, Port Perry. Some people have the idea that if the associations involved were to dis- band the building would become the property of Scout Headquarters. This is not so. The building belongs to the sponsors and always will according to the protection given you by the Town Council and the Group UTommittee. This very desirable arrangement was brought about by the council some nine years ago; who had the interest of the townspeople at heart by virtue of the land title remaining in the name of the village. A PAPER SALVAGE is planned for Saturday, March 22nd. Please put your tied bundles our early. You can help by mentioning the paper drive to your neighbour. The proceeds from these drives help to maintain the hall and provide equipment. Port Perry Pee Wees Do Wellin Peterborough Tour On Saturday, March 15th the Port Pee Wee Hockey Team travelled to Peterborough to participate 'in their annual - Pee Wee Tournament. The kids were all enthused and were de- termined that they were going to win this tournament. During the course of the day and part of the night they played four games, Their first game was scheduled at 9.30 in the morning when they played a team from Stirling. The kids gave all they had for this first game was an important one to win. At the final bell the Port crew were out In front by a 5-1 count. In their second game they met Kinmount and although the scoring was not heavy the boys: played just as hard as they did in the first game. They won this one 2-1. For their third game they met a very confident Port Hope crew. The Port Hope team were favoured to win and boasted openly that the Port Perry boys would be push-overs, but much to their dismay they found that our boys were more determined than they anticipated. When the final bell had gone the Port Hope crowd found that they were on the short end of a 2-0 count, After theirswin over Port Hope the Port Perry boys had earned the right to go into the finals against King- ston. In the final game the Port kids played hard right to the end but after playing three games were very tired. The Port boys managed to score the first goal but from then on the much stronger Kingston team was in charge and ousted our lads by a 7-1 count. After such a brilliant showing we think that these young lads deserve a lot of praise. During the Easter holidays this same team will travel to Godrich, Ontario for the Young Canada Week Tournament. This tournament will be represented by teams from all over Canada. The best of luck fellas! working on this, Much more can be done however to improve the public facilities here. Judging by the hundreds of cars that' swarm our parks each njce week-end during the warm days it would be a worth-while project to extend the tourist "attractions, here. It is just plain good business to take advant- J -------- NG ERE ¥ Cy McLean To Play Ai Lions Dance This popular Dixieland band will provide the music for the Lions Club Spring Ball, April 11.

Local Rink Wins 'Trophy A rink wearing the crest of the Port Perry Curling Club came out on top of the Two day Bonspiel held at Sunderland on March 14 and 16. The event being the Annual High- land Dairy Trophy, 24 teams were entered, coming from, Toronto, Brampton, Unionville, Sunderland, Little Britain and other places. The successful Port Perry Rink, consisted of Grant MacDonald, Glenn VanCamp, Arthur Cox, and Dave Thomson. The Trophy was presented on behalf of Highland Dairy, by Mr. Talmadge Bryan, who also presented leather club bags to each member of the rink. age of the wonderful setting that na- ture hag provided for Port Perryites. But although nature has provided so much in the way of lovely trees, beau- tiful lake and does so much for the grass, she didn't provide us with suitable parking for a hundred or more cars, that is something that we will have to do; nor does nature pro- vide the picnic tables, outdoor fires places and public lavortories which a demanding public look for. These things do cost money, of course, and they do require up-ke@pm and supervision . . . , but they also make our transient visitors. want to come back again and again! In the above picture we see a por- tion of the dragline operated: by Tripp Construction Ltd. in cleaning out the mouth of the bowling green creek. Some work was done in wid- ening and straightening this creek from the corner of Perry St. N. and To Hold Seed Fair i in Uxbridge The 19th Annual" Ontario County Seed Fair and Hay Show will be held in the Town Hall, Uxbridge, on Sat- urday, March 22nd.
