THURSTON, As.iociate Editor Worthy Champions Osprey Will Crush 6,000 Yards Gravel Arlemesia Council Fleshei-lon is busking in the .sport limelinht these days when two hockey chaini)io!iship.s were brought to Flesh- ertun due lu the games last week, won by two of the ganiest teams ever to rej)resent our village. Firstly the Semi-I'ro. team won the McDouguU Trophy twite coming from behind in the finals to lie the race in the first four games and winning the fifth and deciding contest. Holding Proton Station to one goal in two games and counting eight them.selves was no mean feat. (Then the Centre Grey League team began to play the hockey of which they were capable, after they had lost six of the first eight games in the schedule. They de- feated Shelburne two straight in the semi-finals, lost the first to Chats- worth, who eliminated Dundalk by a one goal margin, won the second at Flesherton and the third and deciding fame at Markdale Friday. The Cen- tre Grey Champions are the best squad of players ever to represent Flesher- ton in local hockey and their fighting finishes surprised their most ardent 4Ui)porters. We would like to see the village fathers jjive our two champion teams due recognition of a suitable nature, or sponsor such a movement, because the boys have earned the plaudits of the multitude and brought honor to our town. be final been Thanks, Old Friends The senior editor of The Advance has a pleasant duty to perform by ackjiow'ludgingi his indebtedness to many friend.s who tendered there con- gratulations on the passing of his 78th birthday recently. It is nice lu U- remembered in this way by so many old friends whose good opinions »^e have always valued so highly. We have always endeavored to be worthy of their good opinion, and have, with George Herbert, tried to: Be useful where thon livest that they may Both want, and wish thy pleasing presence still, Kiiulness, good part-i, great places are the way To compass this, find out men's wants and will. And meet them there. All wordly joys go less To the joy of doing kindnesses.
