for items of local interest and historical bits last week we had two requests for help in getting material for historical sketches one of them was for an item that had been mrtlstd six year ago and some relics we didnt mow were in our possession were turned up in thtf search for the missing item hut not the miaainff copy for instance we came upon a copy of the hilton journal dated augtfet 3rd ir51 this was apparently the predecessor of the canadian champion since it was about this date that the champion was established the journal was edited by john jacques and our old copy is in a remarkable good state of preservation the leading editorial in this issue is headed the municipal corruptiomsts try to defend them aetves and the column length article uses some strong ords the second article a tempest in a tea pot also deals with municipal affairs of the county and some personalities the other historical find was an ohj band record book dating back to 1874 and giving the finances of acton rraw band when the caretaker rseied 10c per night for lighting fires and lamps and cleaning the hall these are only two of the historical items c found and wc know that most ccr wcekl

often wc hac not the time to secure all the information asked but it does seem to keep one busy each week to stay abreast of current local events wc do appreciate the care that was taken b our predecessors m the newspaper fields in preserving files and historical items and we do our best to hand down our take in good condition fach eek files are carefully kept and each year are bound the local news paer provides perhaps the best sources for local history and those ho seek this informs tion the barne txamtner in an editorial last week deplore the adverse publicity that the town and arena management suffered by the action of some fans at a hockey game the local paper points out that the report on the incident that appeared in toronto papers was to say the least greatly enlarged aa a matter of fact the incident was not much more undignt fled than those that occur in the maple leaf gardens regularly readers in rural sections have come to regard toronto news reports with a critical and often unbelieving eye they are usually more than a little overdone but the fact remains that a few fans by their behaviour at a hockey game can tpvc a community a very bad name most every town has these rowtlics there are as a rule only a few of them thcy make it unpleasant for th majority vra attend th gamaur they k sport a bad name and will eventually kill it they give their town a
