Stouffville are a fast, hard-skating bunch of hockeyists and know how to hand out the body checks as well as score goals. If a return game is arranged in Whitby it promises to be a real treat to gvatch. Both teams are evenly matched and on fast ice they should literally fly. Lewis was the best for the Stouff- ville club as he scored three of their goals and played 'heads-up hockey throughout. McEwen in the Whitby net played a good game and jtop- ped pucks with everything he had. Corner on defence for Whi in place of Hooker was on his toes all the time but found the going hard at times because he didn't have the weight to bounce the Stouffville players but in spite of this he held them well in check. Lintner, Mc- Closkey and L. Yuill in scoring 2 goals each shared top honours for the Red Wings.

Hodgins, formerly of Oshawa, who recently purchased 'L. recently retired because of ealth. Although a new resident here, Dr. Hodgins has many friends in the Whitby-Oshawa area, having been associated with the Oshawa Clinic for the past three years. Born in London, Ont, Dr. Hod- gins is a graduate of the University of Toronto in Arts and Medicine join the staff of the Oshawa Clinic. Not one to talk about himself, Dr. Hodgins, however, does take a great deal of pleasure in speaking of his gracious wife and two chil- dren, Doris and Alan. . He is a firm believer in the old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", and consequently derives a great deal of rest and re- laxation from his hobby of garden- ing. He stoutly maintains that all men are in need of a certain amount of relaxation and in his estimation tt. | gardening is one of the most ap- pealing to the average "tired busi- nessman." Dr. Hodgins assumed the prac- tice of Dr. Macdougall . following Dr. Macdougall's retirement from active practice a short while ago. Dr. Macdougall has not been in the best of health for almost a year now and he decided to retire after almost 25 years of service to the citizens of Whitby. He will be greatly missed by his associates. Dr. Hodgins 1s assured of a cour- teous welcome from the citizens of Whitby and he stated that he feels equally sure that he will become firmly attached to Whitby In every way. Absent Rotarians Still Attending In Distant Places The secretary of the Whitby Ro- tary Club, Ted Bowman, said today that he has received letters from three members of the Whitby Club who are at present attending meet- ings in various parts of the North American Continent. Sam Murdoch informed the local club by mail that he is attending the club meetings of the St. Peters- burg, Florida, club and in addition he says that he goes swimming every morning in the sparkling ocean water. Another local member who is at present in Florida, Peter Drai- min, says that he is attending the Quincy, Florida, meetings. He added that in his spare time he goes pick- ing oranges, limes and grapefruit. Still a third member writes from Victoria, British Columbia, that he .is attending meetings regularly there and adds a "wish you were here" touch by saying that flowers are beginning to open there and that positively there is no snow in spite of the weird tales of winter that are coming from other parts of Western Canada. DrugMakesWeeds 'Grow To Death' (OP).--One of the scourges of prairie farm lands is near extermination. Dr. T. K. Pavlychenko, head of the plant ecology laboratory of the University of Saskatchewan, says the advent of selective weed-killers is momentous enough to be com- pared with the discovery of elec- tricity, The two herbicides--Sinox and 24-D--go at the job .in different ways but they both give the boon of. weed control which precludes pulverizing of the soil. Previously, control of weeds meant cohstant cultivation which broke the soil down and led to wind erosion--the "creeping death of the plains." "Weed control has been man's chief problem in the realm of land cultivation and he has always waged an unequal struggle against weeds," Dr. Pavlychenko said. "But the turning point in that struggle has been reached with the discovery of chemicals such as Sinox and 2.4-D." Sinox, which has a toxic effect on Saskatchewan's worst weeds, mustard, stinkweed and Russian thistle, is a coal tar derivative. Its effectiveness was displayed in a test which showed ga yield of 33.86 bushels of wheat per acre on a field tested with the chemical, beside an unchecked field which ylelds 17.78 bushels per acre. A flax plot's yleld inerensed 120.5 per cent when treat- The other chemical, 24-D, is in effect a plant growth . regulator. Under its influence weeds grow to death. Its best field is in control of annual and perennial weeds with tap root systems such as dande- lions, Canada thistle and leafy splurge. . However, plants "growing to death" use a lot of water which cuts down supply to the growing crop. a Dr, J. L. Doughty, of the Domi- nion Soils Research Committee, be- lieves these chemicals will be used extensively as the means of killing both annual and perennial wi on fallow .land. .

Paperwork caused the refusal. Trouble was the wording of the order didn't mention sources of supply, so even coal-less windmills are out.

Company Dance Held Friday Was Huge Success The employees of the King Broth- ers Company, in Whitby, held a very successful Valentine dance in the Town Hall last Friday evening with an estimated 150 guests in at- tendance. The dance was the first ever sponsored by Local 218, Interna- tional Fur and Leather Workers, which is the plant union, but offi- cials of the' Company and the local union members say that they hope to hold many more in the future. Old time round and square danc- ing was the theme for the event and music was supplied by Harold Godfrey's old time dance orchestra, from Oshawa. Thrée spot and spe- ela] dances were held during the course of the evening's festivities and the prize winners were Mr. and Mrs. Charles King, Barbara Foster and Frank Barry and Mr. and Mrs. G. Finnett. The lucky ladies all re- ceived boxes of chocolates as prizes and the men were awarded a quan- tity of cigarettes. 'The dance was attended by Mal- colm Murdoch, International Union representative, as well as by Nick Sinatra, local union president, and many company officials. Charles King presented a $50 cheque to Mr. Sinatra to be added to the local union sick benefit fund. Dance officials expressed their hearty thanks to the local mer- chants who advertised the event over radio station CKDO and also to the Whitby Police and Fire De- partment officials who co-operated so fully with the dance committee.

Bowling Alleys Opened For Red Wing Employees ye 4 A modernistic and completely equipped bowling alley was opened to employees of the Red Wing Orchards on Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Irwin, owners of the Orchards, which are located a short distance west of the Whitby town limits. A large crowd of enthusiastic em- ployees were in attendance and shortly following their arrival were busily engaged .in bowling on what are being described locally as the "finest alleys in the district." Although original plans called for full completion of the new recrea- tional centre which is being con structed on the farm, Mr. Irwin de- cided to open the bowling alleys prematurely thereby allowing the members of the Red Wing bowling league to finish out their winter season in their own alleys. The alleys which are the only part of the centre to be completed as yet are of regulation length and are completely equipped down to the finest detail. There are four alleys in all and the majority of the work done on them was done by em- ployees of the farm using reclaimed material in most instances. A first-rate ventilation system has been constructed and is powered by a huge electric motor-driven fan. Mr, Irwin expressed particular pride in the ventilating system saying that it was constructed almost com- pletely out of old pieces of farm machinery which were discarded at various times and left lying around the farm. He added that the ma- chine is extremely powerful and is capable of completely changing the air in the centre within a minute of high-speed operation. to be done on the centre at the present time and Mr. Irwin stated that the official opening will not take place before "apple pleking time." He added that at that he would sponsor a huge barn dance for his employees to officially open the centre, : The building when completed will contain in addition to the bowling alleys, a completely equipped bil- liard room, lounge rooms, game rooms, and a huge dance floor and recreation hall. Present plans call for the building to be completed sometime in the summer. { The idea and actual construction Work on the centre were conceived and started last summer and since that time employees have: been busily converting the old barn into its present modernistic appearance. A new addition was added to house the howling alleys and the interior was completely redecorated with used lumber and material which{ was secured when Mr. Irwin wreck- ed an old barn on the premises and a cottage in the Muskoka Lakes re- gion. Mr. Irwin stated that in build- ine He Suche no much-needed ew lumber for hous Pyrposes was used. hid \ The main lobby of the centre is' a huge room complete with office and cloak room facilities and con- tains a huge log fireplace which has proved to be an immense favourite with employees and. their guests. Mr. Irwin expressed the hope. that his employees would be satisfied with the new centre when complet- ed and added that his reason for constructing it was to provide the means and accommodation for his employees to "have a good time right{} There is still a great deal of work on .the premises", WHITBY PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS CARDS Dentist Legal DR.
