fint game of group final nearly 800 witness thrilling encounterthree stan were binsell kemshead and leach play at orange- ville thursday night special bus for fan can georgetown win the group championship by a mac- mogilvray nearly 800 loyal supporters of two of ontarios finest junior c- oha teams roared their approval to the 32 decision between the george- tbwnorangevoie finalists or group ho 10 fans came in extremely large numbers with the orangeville team and the visitors also well sup ported by rooters from oakvllle and milton why they should receive the support of these two towns we do not know and further more we do not careail we know is that the local juniors could do nothing wrong and played scintillating hockey all even- father ifcfccabes greenshirts step- ped on the ice almost confident of victory but before the game was a much spent found themselves with f their backs to the wan pushing out robber that was flying from all angles during the first and second periods the orangeville goalkeeper during the second period kept out some nine teen shots in approximately five min utes when we say he kept them out well he didnt have much choice for the excited georgetownltes- shot the puck right at him in their bombard ment instead of picking the open ings the game was much the best played here this winter and the crowd by far the largest rivalry has been the keenest in the junior aeries than for many years past and the return game in orangeville on thursday night should see the georgetown team followed by a goodly number of tans the game will no doubt be the high light of the season as the george- town team carry a single goal lead into the dufferin county town it will take two goals to beat the local sextette and believe us when we say they are out for the honors can georgetown win the group champion ship time alone will tell the georgetown team unleashed a dazzling combination attack in the first period to riddle the orangeville defense with rapierllke scoring thrusts and had it not been for the smart work or goalie silk and poor marksmanship on some shots by gold- hamfl charges the score would have reached a higher figure the speed turned on by these teams in this frame was of the whirlwind variety that held the spectators breathless for the first twenty minutes the georgetown youngsters swept the visi tors off their feet and rapped in two quick goals which left the large con tingent of orangeville supporters al most dumbfounded action started when walker on the visitors defense croalchecked and was penalized kemshead then took mcmurchys pass and made certain of the initial goal from close in walker wasback on when kemshead again banged in an other on a pass from goldham time and again they battered away at the visitors citadel but silk proved the stumbling block the period ended with the home team leading 2 to 0 the second period proved no less exciting than the first and george- town continued to lead an untiring attack the break came for orange- ville however when hore was penaliz ed for a minor offence and burrows fanned on an easy shot by qillisple from out near the blue line- this seemed to give the local boys more of what it takes to make a hockey team and they literally covered goalie silk with rubber but they were jlnxed and were unable to score although jack kemshead had many chances penalties became more numerous as feeling began to grow a little strong er with curty and hopkins taking the nod for orangeville and binsell and k for georgetown in the third period orangeville took the edge otf tfitfplay and being one goal downjjreffletrtiard for the equali zer amid the vocalising or their odd hundred or two fans this they fin ally secured on another shot to the corner of the net by qiubple tricky leftwinger however it was short- lived for hore wove his way through almost the entire team then passed to soloskl who put the locals on top to stay this unal goal came so quick after the orangeville counter that it was almost unbelievable in the sight of the dufferlnltes the balance of the period saw the visitors pressing the play georgetown became more or less weak tficlearlng and as a re- suit goalie burrows had a right good task on his hands for a few minutes in the dying moments of the game georgetown showed better class than when they met this team before and with perfect ice skated faster than did their opponents the front line of mcmurchy kemshead and stockford compared favorably with that of hopkins leach and qillisple second georgetown line schenks led the attack with hore and soloskle turning in some nice- efforts gren held up his end nicely while reliev ing on defense silk in the- orango ville net was the luckiest chap of the evening with only three goals scored against him although the locals missed at least a dozen more seem ingly certain goals burrows was the unlucklest of the two goalies when he failed on the ejy shots although keeping out some almost impossible shots if the georgetown team play a con sistent brand of hockey- they will no doubt hold and better their lead up bx orangevule thursday night on j mr the other hand the orangeville team can not be fooled with and a word to the wise should be sufficient ther- z locals will do well to stay off the enjoyable evening was spent penalty bench if they hope to win forthe visitors whuathe defeiim4elsail goldham and binsell were head- and shoulders over the orangeville rear guard of walker and curry with thetr brilliant rushes binsell was the hard- est worker onthe ice while gold ham made some of his sensational tene rushes leach was the standout jtm the orangeville team being very last and tricky and requiring dose attention at all times he missed many chances to score when close inj fiiflispie hopkins and patterson also played well with oulisplebelng the sharpshooters of the team on the we have every confidence in the home team coming through with colours fly

with the visitors meriting the 63 score what a night and what a garnet last thursday nlgbt didnt hold much in store for those who ventured out on the treacherous streets to witness the postponed and final league game between bolton and georgetown in termediates the night was also very wet and the game well rather a little boresome the georgetown intermediates showed the poorest brand of hockey they have playd this season and if it hadnt been tfor the kld fine of ritchie chaplin and- rlddall my this game which was to show the fans and the bolton- team what the locals were going to do in playoffs seemed to build everyone up to an awful let down the first period looked rather promising with both teams turning on a fair amount of speed back- checking well and the georgetown team missing mahj almost sure goals when in close action started in earnest when the kid line took the ice and on a beautiful combined ef fort from riddali to ckaplln u ritchie the latter scored the first goal of the evenings- bolton failed to get on the score sheet and george town didnt add to the score penalties again proved costly- li the second period when bolton scored five goals to the locals one giving the visitors a chance to ease up on the play and making the lo cals carry the play to them richard son was penalized when schaefer fell over his knee and crocker schaefer rah in two goals bolton then received two penalities but the locals failed to capitalize chapman soon added another for bolton with ritchie getting the lone georgetown goal on a pass from sanderson young counted the fourth for bolton when hall was serving a penalty and chapman counted for the firth both teams scored once h final period and hockey was more or less of the boresome jclnd iward scored for the locals when they swarmed around the visiting net and nixon added the bolton counter bolton had three penalties in this period but georgetown could not score the game ended georgetown 3 bolton 6 the local team played a

22nd as far as the governmental programme of legis lation is concerned the present ses sion of parliament cannot be said to have yet got into its stride the first two or three weeks after the de bate on the speech from uie throne is finished are taken up largely with private members questions resolu tions and bills among the most interesting session al events of the past week have been the resolution about havlnga special distinctive flag for canada the lively dispute over charges of electoral cor ruption in canada the demands from the social credit members that house should discuss the sentences imposed on mr unwln and mr powell in al- bertaas a subject of urgent public importance and the resolution of mr gordon ross of moose jaw that a special committee should be ap pointed to investigate the operation of our customs tariff 1 it looks as if mr cameron macin tosh of saskatchewan who has been raising the flag question every session will now or in the near future have his way although the motion was still being discussed at the close oi the day when it was brought up and therefore dropped back to the foot o the list of resolutions b idea was supported by a large mmber of members including leaders it is therefore probable that before the session is ended canada will have a flag of its own in any event it wont be very long before the flag appears in all llkehood it will in corporate the union jack with special emblems of canada but the charac ter and emblazoning of iie flag will be worked out by a committee the question of electoral corruption charged by mr bennett in his speech in the debate on the throne speech led to acrimonious debate in which members cast charges and counter charges across the floor of the house government spokesmen stated the charges of corruption were general no specific charge was made of levies on contractors if a definite in stance was given the prime minister promised he would see that a com mittee was appointed to investigate it mr dunning finance minister further stated the government intend ed to tighten up the election act to curb the heavy flow of money in electioneering and there the matter rests or the time being the attempt or mr blackmore so cial credit leader to have parliament discuss the unwlnpowell case was frustrated by the speakers ruling mr blackmore however insists he ls- not finished with the question hi will bring it up again as this is f matter of great interest and import ance to the people of canada but court judgments are court judgments and therefore to be respected so it may be that when the question comes up again it may again be squashed by the speakers ruling supporting his request for a com mittee to investigate the administra tion of customs tariffs mr ross said that through successive changes the customs act and the customs tariffs the authority of parliament in tariff making had been delegated to a department of the government and that through rules and regula tions laid down by the department an importer of goods could not to day discover by reading the tariff act what amount of duty he has to pay on his importations the passing of a budget had become a hollow mock ery even customs brokers were be- fo b rules and regulations of the department mr malcolm- mclean ofmalfort seconded the naohtuon of the member from moose jaw in this first outbreak of western members on the tariff question answering the attack mr hsley minister of national revenue paid a sincere tribute to the officials of bis department for their efficiency hon esty integrity and bona fides hi explained that since last may an in terdepartmental committee had been working on a revision of the customs act when their work was completed they would make a report to the minister i shall introduce the con aolldated and revised customs act said mr ilsley at the next session of parliament american advertising programmes carried by the canadian broadcast ing corporation continue to be the target or criticism from the opposi tion it may be that the bitter at tacks in the previous parliament on the former broadcasting company may still rankle in the memories of those no occu therjpjosltjonencheb whether that is- so or not it appears probable that the house will hear further on the present ccrparatton during this sitting of parliament a motion by mr earl lawson for copy of all contracts made by the corporation for commercial programs containing advertising originating in the ulnted states was opposed by mr howe minister of transport on the ground that the broadcasting corpor ation was an autonomous body the the house divided on the motion which was defeated by 140 to 52 all ocf and social credit members with the exception of one in each party voting with the c while the government opposed in bloc it begins to look as if the various parties in the opposition the conser vatives the cxjf the social credi tors and independents will join hands on many issues in their attacks on the government on account of their paucity of members however there would be llttie likelihood of winning on any division if the government held its solid front ashgrove the womens
