an exciting hockey season this year s a mooted allartificial ice league which might take in bridgeport walkerton elmira hespeler and milverton with milton fergus and orangeville also as possibilities look like a return to the good old days when the raiders packed them in at the arena game af ter game from a crowd standpoint georgetown hockey has been in the doldrums for a couple of years with their best team in years the 19505 i season saw fhem play to handfulls of spectators in uninspiring games with new toronto weston and oakville the games with milton being the only ones which seemed able to in spire the fans to turn out in any numbers the league lacked the colour of the old days when georgetown went en masse to acton and the tanners reciprocated in their return matches here it isnt so many years that special trains could be filled to take fans to games with fergus with port ejgin and owen sound last year for a number of reasons one of which was the dismal lack of spectators without whbm no team can be a winning one the hockey season folded when milton edged georgetown in the league playoffs financially it left the hockey club in strained circum stances so much so that for the second year in a row they had to resort to a lucky draw to make up some of the missing treasury which certainly is small thanks for a group of men who devote many hours of their time to the mass of detail which goes into a hockey season it is small wonder that there was some conjecture earlier in the year about whether there would be a major hockey team here at all this year it is good to see interest reviving and with elmira sparking the idea of an entirely new grouping in west- em ontario there are interesting possibilities it is es sential that a town which has artificial ice gets into a league where similar competition is offered and it is wise to concentrate on all teams being on an equal foot ing in this respect acton one of the best hockey towns in ontario found that they couldnt compete with teams already seasoned before the tanners could get on the j ice hrsatso wise to match towns ftke georgetown with towns of similar size outside the toronto area which can command a good body of staunch fans lets hope the nfrw league comes into being it will mean the revival of hockey in georgetown we didnt see the princess it will always be our regret that it was not possible to get to toronto or hamilton for a glimpse of prin cess elizabeth and prince philip on saturday frankly the advance publicity of crowds traffic jams and bans on cars travelling in the downtown areas frightened us off and then we are eleven yeaps older than the day in may 1939 when we stood for hours on a london street for a treasured seconds look at the king and queen and the thought of thar gruelling wait put us out of the mood there were dozens of georgetowners however who did make the trip many to malton where the roy plane landed friday night and most of them managed to see what they went to see most fortunate of the local citizens we have heard about is miss sybil ben nett kc whose impressions of the royal couple ap pear in the news pages of the paper miss bennett made a special trip to ottawa and saw the prince and princess close enough and long enough to form some opinions about them also fortunate was a former local provincial policeman vic smith now a mountie in the capital who was one of two guards when queen marys carpet was presented by elizabeth to the people of canada the visit has certainly shown the strong tie which exists between canada and britain newspapers and radio have gone allout for full coverage in their enthu siasm they have perhaps gone too far one local lady complained that at malton there were so many news- papermen and photographers grouped around the royal plane when it landed that the people who had waited for hours oee them had their vision blocked others who had gone to toronto early saturday morning and had a good front line position along a street were per turbed at the last minute to be superseded by a line of girl guides who blocked some of the view for their youngsters such things are bound to happen of course fr lagmatter htow wellrplanned the visit may be ibe to your hometown paper perhaps another tour have you thought of the stamina required by a young coiiple on such a visit their every waking mom ent to date has been carefully timed reported and phot ographed until they must feel that a goldfish has more private life at a banquet a radio announcer details what they are eating at a hockey game foster hewitt says when philip is consulting his program and reports his every move their sunday morning worship in a niagara falls church was broadcast far all canada to hear all of ihis is necessary and expected it is part of the ceremony of the visit which iri spite of being first spoken of as a holiday- is far from it we recall that after eating meals on the train and indulging in several banquets at a newspaper convention there came a time when all we wanted was a meal of bacon and eggs or a can of pork and beans and no one noticed if we left one of the fine banquet dishes think of eatjng choice meals day after day as the royal couple are welcomed in the various capitals and of the nervous strain on the princess who knows that all eyes are upon her while she eats plus the fact that at the end of the dinner she must make a suitable speech and one gets an idea of the physical disturbance which there must be then too think of having every minute planned for you for a period of weeks with no chance to do even one little thing that is not in the itinerary always to look pleas ant constantly greeting strangers evincing an interest in towns in history and objects of art and exchanging small talk with an everchanging sea of faces that takes some training in these days of rapid transportation we can hope that royal visits will become more frequent and that it may be possible to make a tour more elastic it would be nice to think that if elizabeth and philip should re turn to canada in two or three years time that they could have some semblance of a holiday now that offi cialdom has met them and given them a suitable wel come would it be too much to envisage them having a trip in which they were free to change their schedule if they so desired even ayou and i to do some of tne things that you and i can do on vacation have a swim at the beach a picnic supper in the park a movie if they felt like it a glimpse of some of ontarios points of in terest like the elora rocks a boat cruise through the thousand islands a drive through algonquin park and a guarantee that every move would not be trailed by city reporters and photographers that would perhaps be a more kindly welcome than all the pomp and ceremony bowling league bowling season opens close grouping as sorry there was no bowling news in the herald last week there was just no room in the herald
