Pete and Inez Rowett have bad a disappointing experi- ence, for after Pete recovered from a serious pneumonia bout, they were able to travel to Florida, where they bought a mobile home and hoped to enjoy the rest of the winter there. However, this was not ta be, as Pete took seriously ill and was flown back to Etobicoke General Hospital, where he underwent surgery. Pete is the past president of the Golden Star Senior Citi- zens and we all join in best wishes for a speedy recovery. Ted Spearing and Bob Weindorfer, both from Beth- any area, were two of four boys chosen as representa- tives for I.C. Weldon's "Reach for the Top" quiz team. The other two members of the team were James Evans from. Omemee and Mike Forderer of Lindsay. The first game was tele- vised on Channel 3 at 7:30 on February 2nd. In the first game played Weldon com- peted against Brock Second- ary Schoolhfrom Cannington and won a hard fought game with a score of 255 to 145. Contestantsoof both teams received book prizes as well as bronze pins. Weldon returned and played against Bayview S.S. from Toronto on the 17th of Febru- ary. Aithough defeated by a score of 345 to 165 Weldon has high hopes for next year. We're proud of you boys and we're laoking forward to viewing you on another match. The A.C.W. of St. Paul's, Bethany, enjoyed a delicious luncheon at the home of Mrs. Gloria Johnson. Two visitors, Mrs. Sadler of Young's Point, the deanery director, and Mrs. Robinson of Peterborough,. were present. Mr. Belle Smith presented the opening exercises with the hymn "Just as I am" and scripture reading from 1 John 4:11, 12 and took as her theme "Love", as February is con- sidered the month of love. In her prayer she said, "Let us say each day" I love you, world! I love you because you are God's world, peopled by God's children." Since a rose is the flower of love, she read an article on "The Reveries of a Rose Garden", and how we can accept the pruning of a rose bush as a personal "pruning" of aur own lives. A prayer to start the day could be: Bless me, heavenly Father, forgive my erring ways, Grant me strength to serve Thee, put purpose in my days Give me understanding, enought to make me kind So I may judge ail people with my heart, and not my mmnd, And teach me to be patient in everything I do Content to trust your wisdom and to follow after You and help me when I falter and hear me when I pray and receive me in Thy Kmgdom to dwell with Thee some day. Portions of the World Day of Prayer programme for March 4 was assigned to each member. Since this is the tenth anniversary of the A.C.W. Thank Offering boxes were distributed to the members. he funds will becused for housing for retired clergy and a bursary for female theolog- cal students. As a commemoration of the tenth anniversary the ladies discussed a garden party in June. Mrs. Ruby Reynolds bas invited the A.C.W. to cater to their forty-sixth wedding an- niversary in July-they accept- ed. A bale will be collected for the Marct meetings. Articles especiaily needed are baby pins, vests, mitts, bootees, baby sets, jerseys, under- wear, dish coths, kitchen gadgets, pyjamas etc. A deanery meeting based on altar guild work will be held in Hastings on May 12. The film produced, nameiy "Jesus in Nazareth", will be shown on N.B.C. stations in a two three-hour session on April 3rd and April 10th at 8:n00 p.m, A "Quiet Day" will be held on March 26,tat St. Barnabus Church in Peterborough, Mrs. Sadlerdstated when she ad- dressed the meeting. There will be a "Sound and Light" presentation at tbis meeting. The morning film wili be "Slow Me Down, Lord," and in the afternoon "Birth of the Spirit." Mrs. Sadler said the trend of having funerals in churches is returning, and it is being recommended by elders of the churches. Goals for A.C.W. is that ail work be toward the same purpose - to proclaim Christ by: 1. Community within the church, 2. Renewal of parish life, 3. Social and outreach concern, 4. One to one relationship outside the church, 5. World development, 6. Being interested in what other churches are doing. Mrs. Sadler and Mrs. Robin- son thanked the ladies and promised to attend future meetings. The March meeting will be held at Mrs. Marion Wood's. A freak accident often causes much pain and dis- tress, as was experienced by Miss Brenda Biss, niece of Mrs. Hfikia Bigeiow and Mrs, Freida Morton, and Mr. Mark Carew, when they were bit by a car as they were walking from the show to their own car. They were pinned against a brick wall, breaking Bren- da's two legs and her arm and causing serious hurts to Mark. Both young people have.par- ents in the Peterborough area. Brenda was attending Queen's University and Mark had just accepted an interesting posi- tion in Kingston. Our sincere get well wishes are extended to this unfortunate couple. Congratulations to Mrs. Bill Scott of Bethany who has just received first class honours in music. Mr. and Mrs. Wes McMahon and Mrs. Nellie Michelle attended the "Mortgage burn- ing" ceremony at St. James United Church, Peterborough, as the church retired the last of its debt for construction of the Christian Education Centre in 1966. Mr. McMahon has been custodian of the St. James United Church since 196,7.

Bethany finished with !56 total points. Bethany's John Nelson won hie overall boys' champions- ip wbile Anne Roberts and 'athy Elia, also members of hie club, came second and( bird respectively in the girl' s . empetition. The sympathy of the Beth- ny district is extended ta tbe dvin Sisson family in the assing of Mrs. Alvin Sisson. Helmets andElbow Pads If I had my way, every hockey player in the country, regardless of age would be forced to wear a helmet when performing. They're the most necessary and sensible pieces of protection there are and big league players who refuse to wear them for "cosmetic" reasons are not only stupid, they're selfish. If my three boys were just starting their minor hockey careers I'd insist that tbey add the new light and very well designed wire face mask to the helmet. Until this past summer I've resisted the move ta full face masks, but at our hockey school we had three boys hit in tbe face with bard slap shots and ail escaped seriaus injury because their parents had the good sense to insist they wear the new wîre face mask. Rumor has it that a boy will have ta wear a full face mask or he won't be able to play Minor Hockey. If true, then I say Governments, Municipal, Provincial and Federai-or Minor Hockey Associations should purchase the helmet and rent them to the players for anominal fee-otherwise thousands and thousands of children will not be able to play hockey. Minor Hockey because of the expense of equipment and ice time is slowly but surely driving the boy out of the game who comes from the average or less than average income family. A thirty five dollar mask will be the shoe that wili break the camels back. If I had to play a game wearing only one piece of protection equipment, I would choose elbow pads. Broken bones,' bad cuts and severe bruises will mend-but with a banged-up elbow you're in trouble. An elbow pad with a good heavy fiber pad backed up with shock absorbing material provides adequate protection for the tip of the elbow. Don't buy pads - even for the smallest kids, without that fiber cap. Most elbow pads on the market today have adequate built in protection, but they are way too big and won't stay in place. They usually slide down the arm of the boys and rest on the top of bis glove leaving only the elastic ari band covering the elbow. To be effective the elbow pad must fit and stay in place. Shoulder and Shin Pads Shoulder pads that prepare a boy for action in thet Canadian Football league are1 a bit much. Many kids are over equipped for minor eaguedhockey, actually bur- iened down with unnecessary gear. Some shoulder pads carry far too much protectionf where it isn't necessary and ypically don't have enough where it's needed most. Try to ally proud of the teaching taff at Grandview in their onscientious effort to pro- mote a high standard of t ducation in this area. The grade one to six pupils s are being honoured today by t having the Dairy Princess, o Miss Nancy Dykstra, of Oak- wood speak to them. avoid pads that have heavy fiber plates over the top of the chest and over the shoulder blades in the back. Look for pads that have good shock absorbing material over the upper arm and biceps area. This is where many pieces of shoulder equipment just have foam rubber. All that is really necessary for the actual shoulder area is a fiber cap backed up by a good sbock absorber. Most pads provide this ta a reason- ably good degree - but as I mentioned - they need some- thing more than foam rubber or some cheap substitute over the upper arm or biceps when the high sticking, slashing and cross checking starts. Once again get out the ensolite. Cut a piece to fit over the biceps and outer arm and glue it in place. This turns a six dollar set of shoulder pads into something approachinga twenty-five dollar pair for protection purposes. Here is another example of boys equipment looking like the professional stuff while giving about as much pro- tection as spats on a sparrow. Most of todays pads depend on an air pocket or spaces to protect the shin bone from impact. The hard fiber or plastic outer shell is usually substantial enough for minor league play providing the supporting straps keep it well clear of the shin bone. But if the knee cap is protected in the same way - that is - ithameshock absorbing material between the plastic cap and the shin then the pad can be very dangerous and you would be amazed at how many kids knee pads are made without padding under the knee cap. Look at the space between the knee cap and shin pad. If your boys pads are two years old it's for sure he has no protection there. Just a small piece of felt and if you're lucky a smaller piece of fiber. In recent years there has been an attempt by some manufacturers to build protection in this area. How- ever, there are still a great many pads sold without it. So check and add ensolite if you, think the felt and fiber won't do the job. There is another danger that kids are exposed to because of careless equipment shopping, both by the Retailer and Customer. Shin pads that are too long will ride up the leg so that the fiber knee cap is actualiy several incbes above tbe knee. This puts the flexible portion between the two hard fiber caps directly over the i knee and this is another - invitation to disaster. Youi must resist the temptation to t buy oversize aduit shin pads for your youngster on the E premise that he's have better i protection. Buy pads that fit î and then add the extraP protection if necessary. How r do you keep the pads in place? y If you have solved that one - t et me know - My kids loose '1 he garters in one day and run c out of tape the next. I wish a someone would rivit them to t] he pad - they do it for officials, why not the kids? n Pants w Every young player gets his d Section 7 first good look at the SeiinoT an arena from flat onchis back or the seat of his pants. One would imaginethat the but- tocks at least would bc protected, but it's not s. The standard padding in vower priced hockey pantstisa piece of foam rubber that completely encircles the body. You should know by now the value of foam rubber. It looks good, but that's all. From my experience with minor hockey players, there are only three areas in this part of the body that need protection...the tail- bone or base of the spine, the kidneys and the upper thigh. Thousands of kids suffer painful injuries to the tailbone every year from the simple and natural act of falling on their keesters. You will find that most boys' hockey pants will need extra padding over the tailbone of t he spine and this can be added quite easily. Fortunately, there are not many serious kidney injuries among kids in mînor hockey but 've always feit it better te be sa e than sorry. Conse- quently, I think parents should make sure that pants give adequate protection in the back area beneath the rib cage. A piece of ensolite can easily be instailed in this area. The charlie horse pads protectthe upper thigharea - make sure these pads are backed with ensolite. When I played professionai hockey, we wore pants that made at least an attempt at fitting properly. But what I see on boys today I just don't want to believe. When the hockey team buys the pants, the quality is good but the man who does the ordering usually gets six large, eight medium and four small pair - he's lucky if six of the 18 pair fit well. One place they will not fit is in the upper thigh area. The charlie horse pads can slide around, six to nine inches out of place - anywhere but where they're most needed for pro- tection., When I began to buy my own equipment, I attached a strip of three inch wide elastic to both sides of the charlie horse pockets inside the pants. I slipped my leg through this loop m and the pad stayed in position, regardless of my position Jockstrap and Cup At a hockey school recently I saw an eight-year-old with a big lump on his hip. Thinking it to be an apple or orange tucked away for an emer- gency snack I slapped it with my stick and said 'Hey Tommy, what's that? "My jockstrap", he said. He was wearing combina- tion pants and stockings - like woollen pantihose with a built- n jockstrap and protective cup supported by snap-in tapes. It was like trying to keep a ten-gallon hat over an apple in a windstorm. All kids should wear an athletic supporter or a snug tair of jockey shorts under- neath the protective cup, but everything should fit, because f a cup starts wandering around the groin area, it sets up another dangerous situa- tion. Most children's hockey equipment, because of cost imitations, does not provide adequate protection for the kids who wear it. But it does provide a framework on which 'ou can build all the pro- ection your child will need. Don't go overboard out of oncern for their safety, kids re a lot tougher than we hink. But do examine his equip- ment closely, common sense will tell you where it is eficient. The points I have 623-6523 LTD.
