attitude It would hardly take a genius to select the three hardest working participants In the New Year Eve afternoon Junior D hockey battle between Acton Sabres and the Fergus Green Machine While most players on both squads took a hockey holiday referee Ron Breen and linesmen Bruce Lewis and John were left with the task of super vising a Sunday afternoon shinny game that almost broke out Into a genuine pier sixer more than once Four fights and an assortment of illegal tactics Including spearing kneeing and high sticking were served up as New Years Eve entertainment to 300 fans who paid to see hockey Fortunately the league two top players Sandy Fleming and Merv Griffin of the Green Machine treated the crowd to a bit of fancy passing stick handling and some bulletlike shots that were enough to give the Fergus Squad an vic tory Sandy shines Fleming who carried a Ave point lead in the league scoring race into the game bagged three goals two of them on snapshots a pro goalie would have had trouble handling and set up three others Griffin also threatened the cords In the back of the Sabre cage when he blasted In a shot from the point in the second period He spent the rest of the game setting up four more Fergus goals ana breaking up any Sabre rush that appeared remotely dangerous Only John Snow and George McPhail posed a threat to the Green Machine when they clicked for a pair of goals in the space of 17 seconds in the second period Ron the Machines third string goalie fanned completely on the first one from outside the by McPhail The pair teamed up on a pretty two way passing play for the second The goals temporarily tied the score Sabre goalie Ted then cut Fleming down in front of the net for no apparent reason and less than two minutes later Sandy got his revenge by whistling home a slap shot that froze the Acton netmlnder Blazing speed Rookie centre Bill McGllloway put his blazing speed to good use when he took Brad Timbers pass and broke in alone to beat and tie the score for a second time Once again Sabres sagged and with only seconds left in the period Griffin boomed home what proved to be the winning goal The third period turned out to be nothing but gravy for the Fergus sharpshooters Fleming started off a seven goal barrage after less than a minute and a half of play and Jim Woods brought an end to the Sabre nightmare at IB In between Terry Bolger a lanky winger who seems to be able to score standing on his head connected three times twice within seven seconds Sabre penalties in the final frame included a five minute spearing sentence to Pete Morrison an offence which missed the eye of referee Breen Halton MP Terry Connor issued the first of a series of quarterly newsletters to con in Halton riding last week O Connor explained he expects to include news party positions on issues analysis of programs discussion of riding Issues and questionnaires In his quarterly letters He is also writing a weekly column for the news papers in this riding Part time weekend offices will soon be established in Milton Georgetown and Acton he reports Slams attitude The MP reports a real air of optimism among Conservative members at Ottawa caused in part by our good showing In the election but also the govern ments attitude since the elec tion The Liberal government appears to have missed the point of their rejection by Canadian voters says Connor They are proceeding to the opening of Parliament on the theory that they were misinterpreted and need only explain their programs better in the future We feel that the disenchantment of the Canadian people goes much deeper than a misunderstanding of government policy The Progressive Conservatives real objections expressed both during the campaign and since are with the policies themselves In the areas of unemployment unemployment insurance taxation inflation etc May defeat them Connor feels the tight minority government situation will ensure much more responsive government ministers and better legislation attuned to the real wishes of the majority of Canadians We feel it is In the best interests of Canada to defeat the present government However we will vole against them only when the legislation Is inadequate or illconceived he points out Parliament will be formally opened tomorrow Thursday Jan and O Connors wife Carol and his parents are among the MP invited guests at the opening The throne speech debate starts next week OAKVILLES LARGEST BOWL for Pleasure BOWL for Health THE ENTIRE FAMILY CAN BOWL TOGETHER Its the IN Thing to do GO BOWLING ACTON BOWLING
