WgMcLean, Principal SR RR LINDSAY 3..PORT PERRY 1 The local intermediate season opened on Thursday evening last at the rink. This is the first time in the writer's memory we have had hockey ice before Christmas. There was a large holiday crowd on hand when John Ross Roach opened the game by dropping the puck be- tween MacGregor and Reeves. With" Roach at the game was Al. McCaffery, the St. Pats' de- fense star. Oliver in the Lindsay goal looked like an easy mark to the locals as he spent most of his time on his knees. Port Perry therefore resorted to shooting from outside of the defence. They had the advantage of the play throughout the first period having 12 shots on goal to Lind- say's six. 5 About half way through the second period Stanza Raines hailed a pretty shot into the Lindsay net from centre ice, Scarcely had the cheering sub- sided when the enemy obtained the equalizer. Two Lindsay players were hurt during this period and one of them had to retire for the balance of the game. Although Lindsay had only one sub they appeared the fresher in the last period and obtained two more goals to our nil, so winning the game. Lindsay had two valuable men in Art Carew, their big de- fence player who. undoubtedly took-a lot out of the Port Perry forwards by his stiff body checking and Williams at right wing who was the hardest man to hold on the ice and at all times dangerous on the attack. For Port Perry, Raines seem- ed to be the best one to stand the pace consistently from start to finish. He was in good con- dition and although not so fast as some of the others he engi- nered many dangerous rushes and always had his shot on the goal. The boys are bound to improve by leaps and bounds; in addition to Walters of Uxbridge, they have Welsh and Pangman of Cannington intermediates and are improving in combina- tion daily. We expect to see them defeat Markham Thurs: day night. The latter lost to Lindsay on Monday 8-5. Line Up .

He was in his 66th year at the time of his death. Mr. Ingram has been inti- mately associated with the af- fairs of Port Perry for many years and served the munici- pality in several capacities--as Clerk-Treasurer, as Assessor and as Secretary of the Board of Education. Of recent years illness has removed Mr. Ingram from: public life but the older citizens will remember him with kindly feelings as a good citizen and neighbor. Deceased was born at Fenelon Falls, and as a young man, took up the business of tinsmithing, learning his trade at Bowman- ville. He maried Miss Emily Wilcox, of Lindsay. An accident made Mr. Ingram lame and removed him from actual physical work, so that he took up many secretarial posi- tions, Thirty-two years ago he came to Port Perry. For many years was Grand Secretary of the Loyal True Blue Lodge, and he took a very lively interest in the Orphanage at Picton. The funeral was private, but many friends called to pay their last respects and express sym- pathy for the bereaved family, and many beautiful floral trib- utes were sent. As the cortege wended its way to the cemetery the town bell was tolled in re- spect of the passing of a leading citizen. and an official in the town for many years. Mr. Ingram is survived by his widow and six children--Percy, Laura and Edgar at home; William at Telford, Melville at Montreal, and Gordon at Sault Ste Marie. The sympathy of the com- munity is extended to the fam- ily in their bereavement. 000s PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES Rev. W. L. Atkinson, Minister _ January 2nd, 1927 St. John's Church, Port Perry. .

CORBMAN, Port Perry Silver Trophy Cup Won by Prospect Public School : During the past few years great strides have been made in 'the advancement of horticulture in Canada, and almost every city and town in the Dominion has now a horticultural society working with the object of making its locality a better place in which to live, $ Unfortunately, however, very little attention has been given x our rural schools. With view, therefore' to encouraging more interest in the planting and improvement of rural school grounds the Canadian Horti- cultural Council have arranged a competition, the prize being a "Silver Trophy Cup" for the school in each province effecting the greatest improvement of grounds in one year. Nr This cup for Ontario was donated by Messrs. E. D. Smith & Sons, Winona, and was won this year by Prospect School, number two, Reach Township, County of Ontario, Mrs. L. Roach, teacher. This is a school of about twenty pupils. The teacher does not reside in the section, thus all the work was done either in the one-hour-a-week Agriculture lesson, on Arbour Day, or in the noon hours. Not more than fifteen minutes of noon hour- was ever taken. _ As some may wish to know just what could be done in this limited time it may be best told in the words of a prize essay on the subject. . ? ? ?
