offence imprisonment for three months mr spragge said one of the more undesir able features of the office partyjs the fact that many of the people who attend later drive a car he added if the general public were aware of the facts about office parties they would not be hold the reminder closed with the statement the liquor license board will not grant banquet per mits for functions which are to be held by organi zations at their offices or placos of business local sport bracobndge seems to be a typical example of many ontario communities in their trouble to im port enough hockey players to make a team that will be contenders for a provincial championship the gazelle of that town recently editorialized on the subect and implored citizens to find em ployment for two imports that must become resi dents before december 15th the paper points out that two other players were lined up but the communities in which they now reside soon secured them suitable employment if hockey is to remain our great winter game in thesmalter communities it is time we realized that the gains wjjl not provide imports and that to get hockey back into the realm of local sport we need to place teams in
