Mudcats Tie Final Series By Chic Carnegie On Wednesday evening the Port Perry Arena resembled the Chicago stadium in respect to fire-crackers and noise, but the big difference was the comparison in the crowd. Only 350 people payed to see some fine play-off 'hockey between Huntsville and Port. - But the fire-crackers failed to spark the Mudcats and they went down to defeat 5 to 3. The Mudcats got off to a bad start and were trail- ing" 2 to 0 at the end of the first period. Hill scored at 4.46 and Good- win completed the score in the first period at 14.08 scoring on a rebound off a long shot. Bill Cornish narrowed the gap at 3.20 scoring with a drive from the rim of the circle. But by the 4.30 mark Huntsville had increased their "lead to 4 to 1 with Olson and Young beating Joe Melnick. Ray Jenkins put the Mudcats within stricking dis- tance when he scored at 13.21 off a "scramble in front of the Huntsville goal, with Garnet Warriner and Bill Cornish drawing assists. As the teams headed into the final period Huntsville lead 4 to 2 which they soon increased to b with a goal "at 6.10. The Mudcats did not say die, and missed some glorious scoring chances and finally Jenkins hard work payed off whén he scored his second goal of the game assisted by Cornish and Jones at 14.50. From here on in the Huntsville goalie held the Mud- cats off the score sheet, and they em- erged with a b to 8 victory and a strangle hold on the best of seven final play-off series -two games to nothing.

The Port Perry and Uxbridge Fire Brigades were called. The Scouts stayed over night and kept watch.

The competition was compteted on--Wed- nesday, April 4th. . The boys and girls from the rural public schools of Ontario County en- tered 840 posters in this competition. Most of these posters were excellent, and 'showed a good deal of thought and painstaking work on the part of the pupil. Miss Lotta McNeill, Public School { Inspector, and Mrs. A. W.

Good Friday - Bad Day for Fires The worst fire conditions in years kept the Fire Departments across Ontario busy to the point of exhaust- ion. Without a doubt nearly all these fires were started through ignorance and carelessness by folk who seemed to be unaware of the explosive char- acter of the fields and gardens. Warnings have Leen issued repeat- edly not to light bonfires or to take extra precautions to keep them under contral, but apparently citizens did not take this advice to heart--or were too lazy to.spend time and effort needed to prepare a safe bonfire. The six fires in this area on Good Friday were all grass fires started when someone burned rubbish. What would have happened if each of these fires had gotten out of control at the same time, the fire brigade could be only one place at a time. Devasta- tion would have resulted. Saturday's large fire which started in Cedar Creek and burned across 300 acres of field and bush, threatening homes and farms, certainly presented a picture of devastation, leaving acres of smoking black ruin, and all of this happened in a period of less than an hour. While the Fire Brigade were still trying to contain this blaze a call came to a fire near Ken Fralick's Gar- | age on Hwy. 12 and quite a number of the men left to assist at this out- break.

The fire in Seagrave could have been started by some one tossing a lighted cigarette out of a car window, or by children playing with matches. (Many fires in the areca of Toronto were blamed on children with matches; mother, perhaps you should be sure your young one is not able to get matches into his pocket). Whatever the cause 'seventy-five acres of grass | and bush burned over as a result of Port some one's thoughtlessness.
