this andthat in sport sy a umc vooumj it is hard to it awey from hitt ing hockey but this week should see thins pretty well settled in the intermediate b end junior r omjl sections end looaily these croups are of greater interest the fergus team who nosed out george town intermediates for the groin championship went as far as the semi finals before being bumped off by pais- ley in the process of nin it vaa georgetown first then mllverton and sutton the craokup oame when paisley ousted the thlstlesby a narrow margin of two goals on a two game series paisley and seaforth are now battling it out for the intermediate 3 championship of ontario in a best of five series the first game was play ed last week in stratford when sea forth won 21 and the second af fair took place at owen sound last night with the result being a 5 s tie after overtime paisley seem to be favourites in this final contest but no matter which team wins it will be the first ume that the honour has come to their respective towns it goes without saying that both georgetown teams were grouped with the best this year not only were the intermediates in a class with the team that bids to win the cham pionship but the junior group leaders bolton have now reached the finals with the mftthm team bolton eli minated a team from thorold last week in the semifinals defeating them ft 3 and s 1 they had already ehmlnated kitchenerwaterloo sis kins after winning their own group although the team carries the name bolton it will be pretty hard jar the hometown boltonltes to get very jubl of lant over a team the which are hardly known to the but its au in the game i guess good luck bolton may you ooa through with the ontario junior title we were just wondering what the hftiyfin situation would be in georgetown this summer what about intermediate baseball win we be able to revive a team what about juvenile ball are the boys going to be able to hold together another season what about anyone who po natural ability for the game will they be given a chance these are just some of the things that passed through our mind as we sat back and tried to picture another summer without an upandcoming frwmlt club doubt whether there is much use bringing up the subject but surely here ore a few baseball fans to town and district who would be willing to get the olub functioning again it la doubtful if acton can field a team this season and perhaps the tnro towns eoold go together and pool their re- stmraes at any rat no harm could come of baseball heads in both places meeting to dtoouso its poastfetttoes i what we would really like to see ta town would be an allstar girls aantau team playing games with eotatde teams here or a girls league of say four or more teams in town if p run a league or team of una sort would have a great effect on the life of the community this sum mer instead of long evenings with tittle or nothing jo do some interest ing noun could be whlled away at the ball park

u 16 ii 6 i i is ii with the passage of the war ap propriations bui we are now entering the throes of a long and perhaps bit ter d on the question of agri culture t this discussion instead of taking place on agricultural estimates as ituaually does has been opened on a stflrpty political plane owing to the fact that two members of the op- posluon have moved a non confidence amendment which if carried would mean the defeat of the government whenever a member of the govern ment moves that the house go into committee to vote supply it la the privilege of any member of the house to move an amendment to this motion to go into supply under the estab lished rules of the bouse any such amendment if oarriedmeans the over- throw of the government this li what has been done on this occasion and the result is that every member of the house must either vote against the government or against agricul ture to me this would appfear to be a legltlmateynove on the part of the opposition in peacetime but in war time the problem of agriculture is too serious a problem to be used as a political football it does appear to rut that on account of our loss of foreign markets and on account of the government sswar policy to prevent in crease in prices of agricultural pro ducts agriculture is a war casualty and the problem should have the seri ous consideration of the house on a nonpollucal basis as we are just entering this contest which will doubt less be a bjtter one i will reserve fur ther comment on it until my next weeks letter perhaps the outstanding event of the week was the recapitulation by the prune minister of canada s war effort to date he did this apparent- ly for two reasons 1 canada s war effort has been giv en qut piece meal during the past months which might result in a lack of appreciation of our full effort 2 there is considerable propaganda being spread in the united states to the effect that canada is not going fuq out in its war effort in order to answer both of these conditions the prime mi made a complete statement of our war effort and he also related our war effort to the united states economy v the prime ministers speech i quote tb part as follows it is only eighteen months since we entered the war yet in that year and a half our armed forces have grown to the point where today li the three services there are a quar ter of a million men on active service i might add that this figure does not include over 175000 addjoonal men enrolled in the reserve army who are subject to call for the defence of canada canadian army corps canadian destroyers and canadian air squad rons are sharing in the defence of britain our navy and our air force are doing their part to keep open the vital sea lanes of the north atlantic canadian garrisons in iceland new foundland and the west indies are on guard la the outposts of this con tinent canadian engineers are stren gthening the defences of gibraltar m recent months- we have also sent overseas hundreds of radio mec hanics for vital defence duties with the royal air force from the atlantic to the pacific tan today is throbbing with mili tary activity soldiers sailors and airmen are cooperating in the de- fence of our porta our coasts and our coastal waters the canadian navy which had only fifteen ships when war broke out now has over 180 nearly sixty military training camps are distributed across the coun try in these camps the soldiers in our active army and the young men called up under the national resources mobilization act to prepare them for the defence of canada are now train- teams the next ing side by aide some ninety us of the british commonwealth air training plan are already in oper ation in addition faculties are being provided for training schools of the royal air force under the jurisdic tion of canadas air ministry canada la also a major source of supply for britain to common with the united states canada is an arse nal of democracy since the war be gan the british and canadian gov ernmente have undertaken capital ad vances of over 380000000 for the ex pansion and equipment of canadian industry new plants have been built old plants extended to make the com plex instruments of war many of which were never before made in this country the creation of a vast new war industry has taken time occa sionally impatience has been shown at delays the same impatience has been evidenced elsewhere even in britain i might say that none in canada are more impatient of delays than members of the government it self i have given in a few words an jroutline of canada s direct war effort perhaps the best illustration i can give of thrnnagnltude of the indirect contribution by canada to the war is to say that over and aboife what is being appropriated for our direct wax effort we expect during the next twelve months to send to britain ftp proximately 1 500 00q 000 worth of munitions of war raw materials and agricultural products for the benefit of those either in this or in other countries who have not a due appreciation of the magnl tude of canada s war effort or who may have been misled by compari sons between our war effort and what has been said concerning the lease- lend programme of the united states i am going to translate a few of these figures into comparable american terms i understand the national income of the united states this year is expected to exceed 80 billion dol lion dollars on that basis the estl mated war expenditure direct and indirect of canada in itmltt would be equivalent to an expenditure by the united states in a single year of almost 38 billion dollars in providing the canadian dollars necessary to meet the deficit in britain s balance of payments with canada next year the canadian people will be rendering flnntwini assistance to britain which would he equivalent in comparable american terms to something over 16 billion dollars a year i church news serlpfaare text therefore let

as they come and go and if our column has been of interest to anyone our efforts will have been well repaid but the hockey season is about over and if wc are to kept this column in the news we wll nave to broad- our approach at this job this past two years spring and summer ports have been nil in town but we hope this year may be different and while we are on the subject we read where the town of oak- ville has just completed organiz ation of a central group to handle all sports activities in that town we read this with interest because it is something this column has always championed but which through the years has found little if no support an athletic association could work wonders in a town like georgetown es pecially where there is no ymjoa or y wjoa some say they don t see our point well let us again analyse the situation first we have an arena second to none in the province with heated rooms large enough to be con verted into club rooms or committee rooms without any alterations all organisation could take place there in the summer and fall softball bas- kstbau volleyball and other games could be played in the area now ice covered secondly an association could handle all financial arrange ments and we believe if this was done a lot of overlapping and unnecessary expense would be curtailed instead of hockey and baseball clubs ending ir seasons in the red surpluses intgfot oven be i a in stead of the arena being idle from apro to de it could be used the year round and would without a doubt return a fair profit as time is eoum be made felt in all sport
