FIRST HOCKEY It seems onily right that Canada should lay dlaim ta the gamne of -hockey, but, up ta the marnent, theme has been little proof. The game evolvcd fmom the parent games of "hurley" or *"shinny" that wcre relatively ancient Eng- lish diversions. When the Eng- lishman adopted Uic art of skating froma the Hollanders in the early! l7tb century, they quickly put shinny an ice. Sa much for the ancient history. Quite recently, howevcr, a com- mission of McGill University, Montreal, put leamned heeds ta- gether iti an effort ta decide when and wheme thc modemn game of hockey was lirst played. Their investigations led ta Uic discovery Uiat the first hockey game was played betwecn two nîne -men tcams at Uic Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal. The year, 1875. Un- less sameane can offer a better claimn this stands. Iit is not a menit ta tolerate, but i-ather a crime ta be intolerant.- Shellev. 0 Oshawa G.M.

Calling at The Statesman office last week, Mrs. C. W. E. Meath, Toranto, asked the editor ta for- ward ber subscription of $5.00 ta Clarence Woodley, Tyrone, in memory of ber father, the late W. B. Couch, former senior partner of Couch, Johnston and Cryder- man and longtime member of the Bowmanville Board of Education. Mrs. Meath recalled that one of the higblights of her father's busy lufe was bis annual holiday around Tyrone renewing bis yauth as an ardent angler for brook trout in adjacent streams. For years Clar- ence Woodley was the campanion of Mr. Cauch diuring bis holiday. With his keen interest in the countryside as an antidote ta long application ta business and com- munity affairs and bis devotion ta good books, these in combina- tion served ta prolang the active career of Mr. Couch until he rea.- ched the age of four score and thirteen years. He looked on these outings at Tyrone as contributing mnost ta his continuing good health. Hence the gif t ta the Tyrone Recreational Park for both sentimental and practical reasans.

Mellor, Orono, Secret- ary of Durham County Federation of Agriculture, was guest speaker Wedncsday night, Dec. 3, at the annual metting of the Peterbor- ough Jersey Breeders' Club beld at the Kawartha Club. -Speaking on "The Art of*Liv- ing"l Mr. Mellor, who is also township clerk of Clarke Town- ship, told of the four principles on which he was reared as a child: Welsh nationalism, British Imperialism, Protestantism, and White-supremacy. He mentioned fallacies and in- cansistencies iii ail of these tenets, and pleaded for greater tolerance. In his liberal interpre- tation, Mr. Mellor spoke of bis boyhood prejudices when he wasi taught to believe in the superior- ity of the Welsh people, in partic- ular, and the British Empire in general. Protestants, he said, were not necessarily the finest example of the Christian creed, and White- supremacy was a myth. Criticizing the modemn trend of values, he said that achievement and possessions were flot the same as service. Anid he said of aur modemn tempo of life that people were too busy going no- where ta get anywheme in the end. "The man who bas neyer failed neyer lived," re said; "the man who has neyer made a mistake aught flot ta be in this xvorld." Speaker was introduced by Gord Staples, presîdent Peterbor- ough District Breeders' Club. He was thankcd by Rager Han'bridge, vice-president of the Association. Mayor W. G. Ovens spoke ta the large gathering stressing in particular the need for always, trying ta imprave the herd. He pointed out that much more could be done in this direction.

Drive and Live Long By Joseph Lister Rutledge Wmnter adds measurably to the hazards of diving, and some of us, who bave flot yet satisfied aur- selves with a pmomised new car, have thase hazards somewhat in- creased. But reasonable care is stili the best safeguard whether your car be new or old. For instance, winter increases the hazard of carbon monoxide and aging cars co-operate ta make it worse. Stili a little headwork may offset these disadvantages. The National Safety Cauncil bas affemed same suggestions. Open the garage doors before starting the mator. Rcsist the impulse ta warm the motor up in seclusion. Such a practice tends ta make se- clusion a permanent matter. Nev- er crawl under a car while the motor is running. Sce that com- bustion is as complete as possible by frequent inspection, adjust- ment and repair. Remember man- ifold, exhaust pipe or muffler may leak. Sa may the manifold car heater. Sa, neyer drive with al the windows closed and donIt fol- low another car too closely. It is wise ta keep in mind toa that snaw and' ice increase the dis- tance needed for braking threc to twelve times over that needed on a dry pavement, so give yourself that margin. Chains will offset this but only ta a degrce. The wise motamist will carry some sort of flare as a protection in case of passible breakd-own. Remember 65% of accidents happen on sna- wy or icy raads. We should endeavor ta be long- suffering, faithful and charitable with aIl. Ta this small effort let us add one mare privilege-name- ]y, silence whenever it can sub- stitute censure.-Mary Baker Ed- dy.
