after tie game m lucknow in the n e w s of the week manpower for war effort is mpldij becoming a major problem in canada with all divisions of its wartime pro gram nicely under way this country must already face the question bow it is going to get enough men and women to do the job we have under taken canada s population is not a great kdeal more than it wasjn 1914 yet she is attempting to put just as many men in uniform as during the last war and is embarking on a course of agrlcui tural and industrial production so much greater in extent and volume than last time it win call for al most superhuman effort to carry it on in sizing up our actual enlistment or men for military service many of us have been drawing wrong conclu skins one division of men in eng land and another in canada with ap parent tj ro move in sight to put any more in u e field looked small in com parison with the five divisions under in 1918 it was not until hon ian mackenzie spoke last week that jw real situation became clarified mr mackenzie speaking in vancouver drew attention to the fact that can adas naval and air force units would be the equivalent of one division and the personnel needed for the big em plre air training scheme exclusive of actual fliers would be the equivalent qi two divisions thus canada will have after all about the same number of men in uniform as in the last wax such being the case how are the remaining citizens going to keep up the prodigious amount of work to be required on the land and in the fac tory at hamilton last week c m can field prominent canadian

going oh in an atmosphere of comparative calm apart from the customary personal digs which are part of most pre-dee- tion periods there has been little indl cation thus far of violent reactions on way or another among the electors themselves two of the more intriguing high spots in the campaign last week came from premier mitchell hepburn at st thomas and from dr manion at win nipeg said dr manion but let me tell the prime minister that moat of the best liberals are outside the king government and a number of them are ready to join with me in forming a national government said premier hepburn i have nothing to say on the matter when questioned about an ottawa newspaper report that he was getting ready to help dr manion during the remainder of the campaign there is a growing feeling in on tario that the authorities are treating militant communists with kid gloves when douglas stewart business man ager of the clarion newspaper which was shut down was sentenced to a penitentiary term he remained de fiant said he would use his influence for the soviet to the limit anywhere la er an appeal court reduced stew arts sentence to a shorter term in the reformatory last week when chter constable draper urged the to ronto police board to close two uk rainian halls because he felt they were hot beds of subversive activities a toronto alderman came forward to plead for the association detective nursey told the board that some mem bers of the association had been con victed for sedition had served pen tenttary terms and were still attached to the organization lucknow was- the setting for the first game in the ohjl in ermedlate hockey playoffs between lucknow the winners of the western group and ccorgetown the winners of group no 5 the distance prevented a large number of fans attending this game t there were however a number who accompanied the team reports are that lpcknow has an asena that does credit to the village and that the home team gave their supporters hops of advancing farther into the play- downs when they held our team to a 44 draw we understand lucknow lead the scoring up until the last per iod when georgetown were successful in tying the count the return game was played at the arena here on friday night and as the score was 4t in the first game and goals counted on the round both teams took the ice on even terms and both hoping for victory however when the battle clouds had cleared george town were easy victors and tucked a 73 score away and began the hunt of another victim the georgetown team played thetr best hockey of the season and before a crowd of over 1 000 fans they 1r- erally burned up the ice with then- speed and the stickhandlmg and goal tending came in for extra applause bakergeorge was given the call for the best and most improved player in the game with bungy ward running close second playing manager crichton also comes in for some wen- deserved credit and for the prettiest goal of the game for lucknow greer was the most effective player and scored their three goals while g book on defence worked hard for his team and his fast skating and never say die spirit drew for himself much applause from the fans while lucknow suffered defeat they were a good team playing clean and creditable hockey but the better team won and we wish the local boys con tinued success in their endeavours to annex a championship this year greer for ijucknow gave the home town fans a sadden jolt when he tai lied the first goal of the game after but five minutes of play to put his team out in front the only time they held that position during- the game tt was not long- however until k rich ardson grabbed a pass from wardt even the score four minutes later crichton scored on a twoway pass from palmer and hall the georgetown team went on the rampage in the second period and ad ded five goals bakergeorge took crichton s pass for the first ward soloed for the second and scored again pass from k- richardson kl richardson and w richardson scored the other two on passes from sander son lucknow counted another in this period while geotfeetown were playing a man short in the last stansa play was mora even as lucknow put their best efforts forth to bring their scoring up to par however they failed badly and both teams ended the period with a goal apiece ward and greer being the snipers and so georgetown marches on in their
