The pro- gram for the evening was to are taught French in the lowe: grade it relieves the pressure on the High school ; It was felt by the panel in general that it is easier to learn a second language at an early age. The population of Canada is one-sixth French so learning the language would better one's understanding of fellow Canadians On the other hand it was mentioned that there are many other languages and cultures in Canada at the present time so why would French be the sec: ond language. This was dis. cussed at some length by the panel. French in the public schools the teachers must be competent amd specialize in the teaching of French.

Some of last year's OLA Intermediate "A" champion Brooklin Meadow- crests are working out with Hillcrests. Glen Lotton, and Charlie Grandy last year wth the Whitby Red Wings, Mintox Cup finalists were on hand on Monday night, Bob Carnegie and Brian Gibson also member of the last year's Red Wings have been approached to try out with Brooklin. If the Hillerests can secure the services of the six members from the defunct Peter- boro senor club, they can field a very competitive club. Judging from reports, released this week the defending Mann Cup wnners, Port Credit Sailors will have nearly all of their championship club back into the fold, plus Toronto Maple Leaf forward, Bobby 'Pulford, a good lacrosse player, at one time with the Brampton Excelsiors juniors, Punch Imlach, manager-coach of the Leafs has given his okay for Pulford to play, providng he quits one month before the hockey training camp opens. Pulford was far from outstanding this past season, plus having to miss many outings due to a serious injury. Imlach is hoping the rugged going in lacrosse will put him in better shape for next year's NHL campaign. TOWN AND COUNTRY. Hull-Ottawa Cana- diens and the Sault Ste. Marie Thunderbirds put the cap on a most successful Eastern Pro hockey league on Tuesday night when the Canadien farmhands salvaged some prestige for the Canadien's organiza- tion by capturing the Tom Foley Memorial trophy. Bobby Rousseau, troubled most of the season by his ulcer came through in fine fashion for the baby Habs fring 11 goals and set himself up for a full time spot in the National Hockey League, probably with Mont- real, unless he can be purchased by one of the needy clubs. Cliff Pennington, the most outstanding player in the EPHL, and the top rookie, coming from a stint with the Kitchéner-Waterloo Dutchmen seniors at Squaw Valley and the Edmonton Oil Kings, Memorial Cup finalists last season, proved a disap- pointment in the final series against the Soo. We took in two fine minor hockey games last Saturday afternoon and night in Toronto. At Maple Leaf Gardens in the afternoon, Toronto Marlboros defeat- ed Kingston Midgets in the second game of a best- of-three challenge series for the George Dudley Memorial cup emblamatic of the OMHA Major Midget championships. Kingston "were the Ontario Midget winners ousting ' Stamford in the third and deciding game played in Whitby, and received the challenge from Marlboros who are excluded from Ontario minor playdowns because they are definitely too strong for the smaller communities. Marlboros won both games -- 5-2 in Kingston and 4-2 in Toronto. Two of the Marlboro club are slated for trials with Turk Broda's junior "A" club next fall. At night we watched Gaxnahoque capture the Bantam "B" laurels fromZGederich at Ted Reeve arena before 600 steadily screaming fans from their respective communities. We've never witnessed a more colorful and exciting .affair, with hat bands, cheerleaders, badges, horns and other noisemakers very prominent, Wren Blair, whom we accompanied was interested in two of the Gananoque club, and hopes to send ik to the summer hockey school at Peterboro under "he guidance of Alfie Pike and Milt Schmidt. One of the two players came through in gredt style scoring four goals . There is still plenty of hockey activity in this area.
