A large number of very pret and useful presents were received. Refreshments were served eleven. Whilst watching the youn couples circling around to the en- trancing strains of music. and en- tering into games with such en- joyment and zest, a bright idea occurred to the writer who would like to broadcast the suggestion that such a dance should be a monthly celebration, considering the large number of young people, nd with this in view a club might rmed.

The Dryden Midget Hockey Team played Ignace on New Year's Day, before a great crowd of excited fans, in what was one of the best games ever witnessed by an Ignace audience. The game was a real thriller, filled with great hockey, mixed in with combinations, work, and ills, and was played in like style, only s being handed out. po eric opened fast and with each team having a 1ve-: _and-take" edge. After minutes of play, Ken Kerney scored from close-in. The ignace lads redoubled their afforts but for the remainder the peroid the Drydenites held defensive play. The second period started still Mike Louttit, on a pass George Gough, scored th first tally during'this peroid. T! Ignace boys were not to be out- done, and L. Contini passing the defence scored one of the most amazing goals during the game. Bud Thompson, a few minutes later, tied the score, which ended 2-2. The third peroid started with a clash, both teams "showing the strain of the first two fast periods. Mike Louttit, scored on a pass from Ken Kerney, and after going in for the rebound, found the net once more. With three minutes to go the Ignace boys quickened their pace and Johnny Davies scored in a scramble in front of their opponents net. A minute or so later, L.. Contini with Matt \Wren, playing a splendid combin- ation, passed the defence and scored the tying goal. The lads then decided to breal the score, and after a ten-minute solo of faster. irom overtime failed to do so, having to 20 an extra ten minutes, with the results, that despite the shots directed at the goal-keepers, ail were in vain.
