It's a debt you owe for the greatest joy On this old earth to be bad; This pleasure of baving a boy to raise Who wants to be like bis Dad! As president of the Athletie Association, I bave been asked to speak a f ew words on this occas- ion "Hockey 'Sunday." My topic, is in tbe form of a question, "Wbat bas been your contribu- tion to society, and what bas been your dividend?", A coachi or manager of a hockey team is investing his time and tal- ent in moulding a group of boys into a bockey team. ut is tbrough the efforts of the team tbat the coachi receives bis greatest divi- dend. We often hear or read of people compiýlaining orcitiin the *way chldren are bandled, but if a few of tbe p eople wbo do the complaining would take a team and coachi tbem, they would find that tbe other dividends tbe coachies and managers receive are not enough for their invest- ment. To give praise costs the giver notbing but a moment's ef- fort - a smnall investmient - but consider the resuits in ternis of appreciat ,ion. Mark Twain said, "I can live for two months on a good compliment." To tbnse who are here to-day, who attended the Atom tourna- ment and saw the excitement and pride sbown by the parents as tbey watched their cbldren - SPer Stars ail! And to you wbo mnissed it,' it 15 an experience which canlnot be replaced. Tbese eigbt year o1lds played as biard as eacb indivicitial ould becauise 95% of the players iion't even know the rules and are not in- terested in hurting their, fellow players. They were determined to play to win and that was most important fhat day in their eyes. But some ha d to lose. If that is an important lesson in life it is bet- ter to learn it in the early years. I am sure that many a mother Aibe rts Texaco) GENERAL REPAIRS Phone 993-,1249 Orono "Just Like Hfis Dad"y and father, sitting there that day, SAI a prayer and shed a tear forý their 'boy. A boy plays hockey and has an o»Portunity- to put into use the fair filay he hâs been taught in Sunday Scbôol. It' is very seldom that ý a boy will argue with the referee if hie' learns at an early age thàt the man in the striped shirt, because of, bis experience, controls the game and places a player 'in the awesome penalty biox if he does wroông. I sometimes- tbink that there sbould be a pen- alty box in every home not only for the children but also for par- ents wbo 'get out of control. In the gameé, there is a leader wbo sets a pattern, tbere is autbority, discipline and rules. Wbile you players are too young to have been able to make an investment in society, you may one day be a coaeh and theiq look back' on your younger days of hockey and 'remember that somebody gave up the time to care about you. I once beard a saying that' went like tbis, "The world will step aside to let a boy pass, if lie knows where bie is- going." ut is the parents' re- sponsibility to 'show them the road. I feel that minor hockey is a good place to start. Minor hock- ey ean be agree d with or argued agaînst. These organizations1 are run' by individuials who are 'only' human. Therefore there will be faults, but minor hockey allows the majority of young people to piarticipate in a bealtby, invigor- ating'activity. We are fast approacbing the, end of a seasoni of successful hiockey, another will be in tbe miaking as you support the. booster banquet 'wbich is held annually by tbe Athietie Association.
