Ted Lindsay Gives Good Advice to Kid HockeyPlayers Toronto. - "Too many kids playing hockey these days fig- ure they know more than their coach,"' says Ted Lindsay, ahl- star left winger of the Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings. ."This is particularly true in small tawns and rural areas where the coach has perhaps nat had too much experience," Lind- say told Lloyd Percival, director of Sports Callege, a nationwide coàching and sports research ser- vice. Many young hockey play- ers ruin their chances of ever be- coming big-leaguers by sucb a know-it-all attitude, Lindsay said. The 25-year-old forward told Percival he considered paying attention to the coach one of the most important fundamentals af hockey. Thousands of youngs- ters across Canada take advantage of Sports College's unique coach- jiniz services in the f ields of sports and physical fitness. These in- -clude training literature, a clinic service and a weekly radio pro- gram. "Skating is probably the single most important tbing in hockey," said Lindsay. "t's the foundatioji on which everything else is built. Kids sbould get out at every op- portunity and practice their skating if they want ta play hockey well." The Red Wîngs were recently subi ects of extensive tests by Percival and Sports College re- search men. At the request of General Manager Jack Adams, a complete report was presented outlining a pragramn designed ta increase their physical efficiency and condition. Lindsay ranked high in both the physical and me- chanical ability tests. In 1942 governments in Can- ada paid out $427 million in sal- aries and wages; in 1949 the total was $878 millions.

A Visitor Tuesday marning assembly was longer and more enjoyable than any we have bad in a long tîme. The occasion was a talk by Miss Ann Hamilton, director af the Underwood Limitcd (business machines) consulting bureau. Her talk included many hints for the student entering the business or professional world and sug- gestions as to how we must pre- pare ourselves right now for suc- ccss. In ber straigbt-forward style, sbe falowed these head- ings: Get as much scbooling as you can; Develap a bealthy atti- tude and personality; Take care ai, and make the best of your appearance; Be courteous. Her truc-to-life examples were hum- arous and entertaining. but the real value af ber talk lies much deeper. As Miss Hamilton said, wbat we get out of ber speech Is up ta us! The Question "Sbould B.H.S. have a school sweater, cither for dress - or sports'" Joan Wood (lC)-"The plan ai two yeam-s ago ta bave ahl girls wear (ugg) tunics, plopped. A dress sweater is the' answer. I am sure most af the boys also find it bard ta keep up with styles in lothing. It would also be a great lift ta aur school r,pirit." Doug Heyland (II)-"Well IlI BAHS. "lScreech Owl" Norman Allun The seven wondcrs of the world iýre the airplane, radium, anti- septics. anti-toxins, x-ray, radio and the telephone. Last year there were 1,796,000 borses on Canadian farms, a mil- lion less than in 1940. A bard faîl sbould mean a bigh baunce . . . if one is made of the rigbt material. tell you Norm. Sweaters are a good idea but white would get dirty too fast, red wouldn't suit my red hair, and black wouldn't suit some people's graying com- plexion. The teachers might not conform. but if they did, it would make the teachers seem more of the crowd. I think that the students' council should pay haîf the cost and the student pay the other haîf. Anyway, if the colors should run, it'll ail came out in the wash." Veronica Friend (V): "'No, I don't think B.H.S. should have school sweaters. The school isn't big enough ta make the coat as low as it would have ta be for everyone ta afford one. Since thîs is my last year at B.H.S. (?) it would bardly be worth buying anc, and then buy a college sweater next year. It would be bard to find a color suitable to evcryone, and knowing the school spirit we have, the sweaters wouldn't seli anyway."' John Carman (2C): "Every Commencement many students receive 'crests. WI'at is done witb tbem? What should be donc with themn is ta have them proud- ly dîsplayed on a school sweater! I think that a sweater is especi- ally necessary for sports. They xvould make less confusion at a field day or other event and would give the wearer a feeling of belonging." 52 Twin Photos Printed Saturday In Te1egramn Toronto, Jan. 25.-Number one topic of conversation in thousands of Ontario homes this weekend will be The Toronto Telegram's reprint in Saturday's editions of all the photos pubished ta date in its Match the Twins contest. Two special pages in the paper will contain the 52 twin photos used in the first two weeks of the contest, wbich started Jan. 13. With one eye on the twin photos and the other on one of the thre new four-door sedans--Oldsmo- bile Racket, Chrysler Royal* and Monarch DeLuxe - offered as prizes, Mr. and Mrs. Ontario and their lîttle folks will be talking twins morning. faon and night until the cantest closes after the publication of 80 sets af twin photos. And why shouldnt they play "Match the Twins"? Thousands who played last year found it an absorbing and challenging pas- time. And thousands more are playing this year-and more cari start thîs Saturday-to win anc af the prizes. Naw their chances are even bet- ter. In the second and greater edition of the "Match the Twins' contest, readers can submit as many entries as tbey wish-but, naturally, can win only one prize. In addition to the threc cars. the prizes include: a living roomn suite consisting of 15 pèc'es; a 17-piece bedroomn suite in Im- pèýOial Loyalist's Peter Scbuyler design, a Mason & Risch apart- ment size piano; an Heirloomn ce- dar cbest overflawing with fine linens: a General Electric kitchen FOR 191 S YDUTHE GREATST O A[[R[16 OMC-131A ROY W .

Big Demand For United Church 1951 Calendar Officiais of the Mlssiorxary Ed. ucation Commnittee of The Unit- ed Church of Canada are still gasping in amazemfent at the ex- tensive sale of their 1951 United Church of Canada calendar. The print run was 63,5 r:AI- ready 60,000 calendart' e been sold, Rev. Dr. K-enneth eaton, Secrctary, said today. 9, kast year the Missionar Edu- cathon Committee sold 52,500 of theirr 1950 calendar. This year ithey added 11,000 ta the print run. Now it ooks as if thousands of orders will remain unfilled, because a calendar isn't some. thing you can print in February. Handsomely illustrated with color phitographs of actuel worlc 1in the mission fields of The Unit. ed Church of Canada, in Canada and overseas, the calendar was printed by color offset process, on a four-color press. Photographs of the United Church's overseas missionaries are a4so cantained in the calendar, with Interesting facts concerning the mission work of the Church. Ministers and members of the Womnan's Missionary Society are mostly responsible for the big sale of the church calendar, Dr. Beaton said.
