tomorrows hockey we mubt all realize that the are na fathers are carrying a pretty heavy load this year artificial ice takes more than thicken feed v keep the generators- running in ad dition to the initial outlay and the only way that load can be lifted is to keep the turnstiles clicking du ring the past few years the kids have plaed hockey in the arena for practically nothing and the gkc have managed to provide them with most of their equipment but there has been one import ant thing missing mum and dad week by week during the winter months the games went on but the crowd never came why the rc dofesnt know only you mothers and father can answer that but this wa do know we cant give the kids much hockey on aiticifical ice if we dont get more support from the fathers and mo thers in

thin on the regular routine which follows seems to fall badly apart i do not see why after santa arrives that he can not go to some large building suitable for the oc casion and meet the children there as one sees every year that it is bhe older school children hat force their way in for their treat and the wet ones w ho really look forward santas visit can psrer get near hlui one of the parents usually pushes through close enough to get their treat and the wee ones go away without eeifc saying hello to santa by the time santa does arrive jnhich is usually much later than stated the children are so cold to say nothing of the parents who stick with them to let their child see santa that it seems rather discour aging for both i feel the same aa many parents that if santa could carry on from his arrival to some place where it would be warm for him and the children i know from experience it would be better for the parents and everyone concerned i have made this suggestion on behalf of all parents and hope in the near future that the wee ones canat least say hello to santa yours sincerely a mother bowlers have onrlron dinner euchre at limehouse last thursday night membeftl
