¥ Page 6 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Thursday, Decembe, HALTON FARM FORUM (BY LILLIAN C. GRAY) The seventeen forums that re- ported on the "Let's go to the movies" broadcast voiced very similar opinions on the movie in- dustry. Entertainment films - at local theatres were not entirely up to the standard desired. To quote S. S. No. 4, "They give an artificial view on life. Too many western, crime, murder, and tra- gedies should not be shown on the screen." Several forums men- tioned there should be more films depicting farm life, but farm life as it really is and not as a movie director imagines it. The forums do not think the movies have a great deal of in- fluence on Halton youth, as few attend them very regularly. At the same time, Zimmerman points out, "Many movies give a wrong opinion of actual life to young people." S. S. Uo, 7, Nas- sagaweya, referred to an unfor- tunate incident where a child had been badly frightened by a hunt- ing knife in the hands of older boys, who had probably got the idea from the movies." Most forums gave good movies credit for being educational as well as entertaining, but deplor- ed the fact that there were not more of them. Farm would attend more movies, was claimed, if there were more movies to attend. Forums were pleased to have the services of a National Film Board projectionist sponsored by the Federation of Agriculture, but several admitted these ser- vices were not fully appreciated by the people who might be us- ing them. It was thought by at least one forum that if a charge | GOALIE INJURED BUT CARRIES ON tor "Chuck" Rayner, star goalie the New York Rangers, was budly cut during the recent Leal Ranver game, wnen a flying puck hil mim directly under the eye.

Ferran Most spectacular record was that of Bud Corbett's bat- tling juvenile and bantam ball squads, both of whom came within an ace of capturing provincial flags, The juvenile crew staged a particularly tenacious pennant drive, being nipped at the wire in baseball's equivalent of a photo finish as they dropped a tight 4-3 decision to an equally deter- mined Petrolia club in the third game of a torrid final round joust. Several members of this outstanding aggregation ticketed for tryouts with the intermediates next spring, with slugging Bob Hooper and Herbert standing out as sure fire prospects. are BEE ow x The Oakville Motors bantam hustlers, playing their first year of organized ball, came through nobly to brush aside SHE playoff competition before succumbing to a more ex- perienced Wheatley entry in the final round. Corbett was justly proud of these kids, expects big things from them next summer. sername Stalemated in their attempt to run up their second Ontario flag in as many years, Chris Speyer's intermediate Oaks nonetheless displayed a top brand of ball before bow- ing to Fort Erie the provincial semi-finals. = Brushing aside Halton opposition with ease, the locals clearly demon- strated that they are ready for highet bracket competition Some fans even feel that a more advantageous' grouping, with the tighter calibre of play that would come with it, would soon send the locals up to the senior ranks. Be as it may these boys showed well against Toronto senior clubs and the barnstorming House of David nine, and can be ex- pected to be back in the front row next season, Ace hurler Mark Pollock contributed the year's outstanding individual performance during the Fort Erie serics, as he chucked the only no-hit, no-run contest ever to be turned in by a local twirler, in Pe Although they coasted past Blackheath, Oakville Taxi softballer found a strong Preston club too tough an obstacle in their attempt to claim O.S.A. honours. Fred Turner's BA's were far from outclassed in feminine softball play, but were forced to yield the group crown to Port Credit's scarlet- clad lassies. Tn the town's fast growing minor series, Ollies Cleaners, Whitaker and Son, and Bud Corbett teams emer- ged victorious in playoff rounds that cased well into Novem- ber before the bases were stored away for the winter. wow kok ow Hopes cherished by Oakville cricketers of winning Matthews cup were blasted in a semi-final round = match, when Wentworth county bowlers restricted the local bats- men to 37 runs, The Appleby pitch was the scene of several Oakville victories during the season, however, and enthusia- stic publicist' Bert Boorer had ample opportunity to sing the praises of his capable eleven. FE Plucky though somewhat penurious, carrying the fighting label, Panthers, failed to win a single contest in intermediate O.R.F.U. rughy competition, but succeeded in firmly establishing the sport locally, Next autumn, decked out in naw colours and entered as the Oak- ville Braves, the same crew expects to benefit by experience gained as they make a second sortee against the powerful Oshawa, Peterboro and Orillia clubs. the a determined band PI Strongest town hockey sextet last season was the stal- wart juior crew,. which dropped a hard fought five-game ser- ies to Weston. Some 1,500 fans were on hand for the fifth tilt, which saw the Dr. Chase youngsters go down fighting. Although they finished ahead of the luckless army team, Oakville's Legion-sponsored intermediates narrowly escaped cellar ranking despite the fact that their losses were nearly all by slender margins, With a. greatly strengthened line-up this season, and Bert Peer back in the fold after lo, these many moons, the club seems to be building to a point where only an artificial ice surface is needed to send it into one of hoekey's upper competitive slots. High school athletes, paced by Johnny Ross and Pete Sutton, sped to the fore in track last spring, making their presence felt in every meet in which they participated. Ross particularly distinguished himself in his close bid for a spot on Canada's Olympic squad, and is regarded by top track- men as a fine prospect for the 1952 team. Sutton also di tinguished himself as a backfielder on the classy junior rugby squad, which won its group handily before bowing out in the playdowns, FPS Port Credit netters monopolized tournament trophies as the Oakville Glub completed a successful tennis season, with Mal and Win Gray and Eric and Jean Muir sharing the championships. Highlight of the badminton year was the recent visit of the India squad for exhibition matches. The racqueteers from the far cast showed superb artistry, dem- onstrating they will be a strong factor in international play before many more tourneys have passed.
