"What is home without a mother What are all the ioys they meet. When her loving smile no longer Greets the coming of their feet? The hand of God will surely give The strength to them that they may live, That when life's journey all is past, Will give an entrance home at last. With loved ones that are gone before. Who dwell in bliss for evermore; Par from the seeming world of strife They dwell in everlasting life. To those who have a mother. Cherish her with care. There'll never he another To fill her vacant chair." Goal â€" How Scored A goal shall be scored when the puck shall have been put between inp goal posts by the stick of a player of the attacking side, from in front ar.d below the line of the goal on the top and entirely across a one inch line or the \\adth of the diameter of the goal posts, drawn on the ice from one goal post to another. A goal shall not be scored if the puck is" put into the goal by any part of the person of an attacking person or by his skates. A goal however, shall be scored if the puck is put into the goal in any way by a player of the defending side. A goal keeper may stop a shot in any way he chcc:iG except by throw- ing his stick, but must not hold the puck and must not pass it forward with his hands but may pass it later- ally or backward with his hands. Points to Remember The referee's whistle or bell starts and stops play â€" not the timekeepers. All games 60 minutes (three 20 minute periods) with overtime per- iods up to 30 min. if necessary. All games scored on the point system, two points for a win and one for a draw. The goalkeeper or his alternate cannot play any other position but goal. A player, losing or breaking his stick, is automatically out of th-; play until same is recovered or legitimately replaced. The referee decides whethei* or not •t is a goal. The goal umpires re- port to the referee when they believe a goal has been scored but the referee has the final decision and there is nc appeal. Substitutions can only be raauv when play is stopped. Play must be stopped by the ref- eree to impose a penalty. No body-checking permitted on the forward line. The only players per- mitted to use the body in checking are players on th; defending team when they are back of their own 60 ft. line, but there mast be no charging | by these players. Mr, Hoddinott of Emmanuel Col- lege supplied for Mr. Young on Sun- day night. We are sorry Mrs. Blakeley is not improving in health very rapidly. Others who were ill are on the mend. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hodgins on the birth of a daugh- ter. At this season Proton Station boys suddenly take hockey fever and even if they have not had skates on since he last game they played last winter they just have to play hockey, so last Saturday afternoon a sleigh load of players and fans drove to Salem and spent a jolly afternoon with the Salem boys, besides winning four g'oala to iheir onn. One six footer -eturned with a bleeding tempie. Th; oiayci who wielded that stroke must have thought he was playing golf to have his stick so far up in the air. Encouraged by this little victory the boys chartered a truck on Monday night and journeyed to Markdale, playing a gai\je with a Markdale team on the rink. The result turned out in favor of Proton 6-2. Poultry Feed Facts CompJsttd experiments in poultry feeding show that skim-milk is an excellent protein feed, that dry clovei leaves with an occasional dose ol Epsom Salts may replace roots oi sprouted oats, that home-mixed is as qjood as a commercial grain, and that â- screenings of gocd quality may re- place part of the good grain.

A. was divided into three un- itp: the 8th line unit with Mrs. Fred Jainieson as captain: the village unit with Mrs. C. Martin as captain and Petition in Hamilton asks for the early closing of millinery shops.

We extend our hearty congratula- tions to Editor and Mrs. Thurston, who recently celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding day. May they enjoy many more years of happiness together, and continued active service to the public.
