be Fierce Fire Da blisher. MR. JOHN NASMITH Saturday, January 10th, 1931, was the closing day of the life of John Nasmith, of Port Perry. After a long, and most trying illness, he quietly passed to the great unknown. : / Mr. Nasmith was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Nasmith, of Toronto. He was closely associated with his father in their great bakery business. After his « school days, and some years at the O.A.C. he received a thorough business training. The greater part of his life was spent in Toronto, although he was in the West for a few years. . _ Ever since Mr. Nasmith has been one of our citizens, he was active in promoting the welfare of the com- munity in which he lived. In the Presbyterian Sun- day School, as secretary, in the Bowling Club, on the Council, on the Board of Education--no matter what he undertook, he gave fine service, and showed good judgment. This good citizenship will be remembered with ap- preciation and pleasure by the people of Port Perry who knew of his good work. But the outstanding memory will be that of the brave spirit shown in facing the illness which laid him aside from the activities of life while yet his mind was bright, and fully appreciated the rich opportunities of life service which were now denied to him. Those who were privileged to visit him in his ill- ness, invariably felt that his was the cheering spirit, and their little troubles faded before his fine courage. The community joins in sympathy with the bereaved family. a MP UXBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL WIN FROM PORT PERRY H. S. Port Perry High School hockey team played their first game when they met Uxbridge High School in the Uxbridge Arena. These two teams had much younger players than they have had other years. The players were as follows: Uxbridge--D. Adams, goal ; Catherwood and Norton, defence; right wing, E. Dike; centre, I. Beare; left wing," J. Smith; subs, E. Malone, G. Smith, M. Alexander. Port Perry--goal, Dowson; defence, Cawker and Lyle; left wing, A: Anderson; centre, T. Harris; right wing, H. Nind; subs, F. Switzer, Lee, and S. Beare. 3 The game commenced with good speed and combination, and an unnecessary amount of tripping which spoiled what might have been a good clean game of hockey. This is only natural seeing that Port Perry and Uxbridge are such good friends when they meet each other in sports. The scoring started when Albert Cawker and Hugh Nind played excellent combination right through the Uxbridge team and and when Hugh made the last pass to Cawker, who shot it into the net. Uxbridge scored the next goal when N. Norton eluded the]. Port Perry players and shot it in. Port Perry made several good plays but were unable to score any further goals. Catherwood scored the winning goal for Uxbridge. The game ended with the very small score 2-1 in favor of Uxbridge, which shows that the teams were nearly of equal strength. There was very little support given the players by either school. PORT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL WIN ON TUESDAY NIGHT Port Perry High School again met Uxbridge High School on Tuesday night, January 20th, but this time in their own rink, and were successful in defeating them with a score of 7-3. In the first period Port Perry were the only goal getters. Fred Switzer scored the first two goals gnd the third was scored when Bill Cawker made a nice pass to Hugh Nind on right wing. The first period ended with the score 3-0 in favor of Port Perry. The second period was a little faster hockey, and more com- bination was played, making it a better game. Fred Switzer secured the fourth goal when he got the puck away from an Ux- bridge man in centre ice and stick handled right through the Uxbridge defence and shot it in. ; The second goal of this period was scored when Albert Cawler went right through, shot and hit the goalie, the pugk re- bounding out on the ice, Archie Anderson following in fast picked up the rebound and scored. ; Ivan Beare playing combination with Catherwood, scored the fret of the three goals for Uxbridge. The second was scored by E. Dike. , In the third period Port Perry had not stopped scoring. T. Harris and Hugh Nind securing the puck went right through the Uxbridge team, Tom passed the puck to Hugh, who scored the sixth goal for Port Perry. : Uxbridge returned this goal when Ivan Beare succeeded in scoring the third goal. And as if for good luck, Fred Switzer scored another goal, this being the fourth goal scored by him dur- ing the game. : ; 3 The game ended and every body went to the school where Uxbridge boys were given a lunch in return for the one Port Perry received in Uxbridge. Everybody went home happy. o_o) MYRTLE " . / x The snow plow has Been kept husy, but fortunately no serious accidents were reported. 5 a along the Highway since the recent : : snow e : p There has been a change made in| A number of old friends from here| the time table of the Toronto-Lindsa; attended the funeral of Mr. Wi bus servics duting the past few daj mages Property tot Second Fire in Port Perry within a few days Removes Old Landmark, and Burns Buildings, Cars, and Tools.

The fire brigade from that city courteously and very promptly responded. The Oshawa fire truck made a record run out here.

Quite a number of our young townsmen gave active and intelligent assistance to the Fire Brigade. That is good citizenship.

Ever since word had come that Markham was to meet Port Perry on the local ice, there were speculations as to the out- come of the game. Markham has been sweeping the boards all the way this year, and it was a feather in Port Perry's cap that in Friday's game the locals came so near winning. Just what the secret of Mrakham's success is perhaps is hard to define. Their team is well set up all round, but in the long struggle that took place, they did not make any better® showing than the home team. DeShane showed up well, stopping several lone man rushes. There was good combination played by our forward line, and all the boys played the best game of the season. Max Ressor starred for Markham. Their forward line got in some fine combination, but did not seem as speedy as séme ex- pected. The story of the goal scoring was just one goal after another until overtime was reached and then it looked as if the tie was not going to be broken. It was only about two minutes after the game commenced that G. Raines secured the puck, rushed through the Markham team and shot at the goal. Instead of being a swift shot as it was intended to be it rolled along the ice and went in the net very easily. The second goal of the first period was scored by Markham, and then Port Perry scored the third one when L. MacGregor passed the puck from the corner to E. Sleightholm on Left wing. Sleight- holm scored with a very nice shot into the corner of the net. And the first period ended with the score 1-2 in Port Perry's favor. As if to start the second period right, Ernie Sleightiiolm scored a third geal for Port Perry. Markham made several breaks in this period and two or three times there was only DeShane to beat, but through his good work, Markham players were unable to score. Just before the period ended Jack Sleightholm got the puck from the face-off and passed it to Ernie Sleightholm, who scored the fourth goal for Port Perry. Then Max Reesor made a rush on Port Perry's nets and scored a second goal for Markham. The second period ended with the score 4-2 still Port Perry's favor. The Third period opened with a goal scored by Jack Sleight- holm and then Markham scored a goal. And to keep the lead E. Sleightholm scored the sixth goal for Port Perry. After that it seemed as if Port Perry had stopped scoring, and Markham was taking a turn. Reesor scored their fourth goal and Prentice the fifth, and Hare, the defence man, scored the tying goal. As time was up overtime had to be played. When the overtime started neither team could make a break. Two ten minute periods were played without any score. You can imagine how the excitement grew; In the last few minutes of the third overtime period Markham succeeded in breaking the tie. When the bell rang both teams weve quite tired and Mark- ham found that it was a hard struggle to win that game. This was the best game the boys played this year and they, ceptainly deserve credit for their good work. pr eS ------ PORT PERRY RETURNS FROM MARKHAM VICTORIOUS To make up for the game lost on last Friday night Port Perry defeated Markham on their own ice with a score of 4-2. The game opened with very little speed. Neither team were successful in scoring a goal in the first period. Port Perry had a lucky break when DeShafie succeeded in kicking the puck from in front of the net with the toe of his skate. In the second period two goals were scored, one by each team. This left them almost where they started. Referee A. Mollenhauer of Toronto, made both teams play clean hockey and showed no favoritism. : The third period made a considerable change in the score. To start it off Port Perry broke through Markham team, the puck went into the corner, and J. Sleightholm, who played centre for Port Perry, followed it, and passed it out to L.. MacGregor on right wing, who made a nice shot into the net. The score again rose when Jack Sleightholm took the puck from a Markham player and went right through their defence, scoring the third goal for Port Perry. The score now being 3-1, and the last period half up. When the puck was faced off in Markham corner Jack Sleightholm showed good work by passing the puck to his brother Ernie who put the score up another notch by making the fourth goal for Port Perry. But the period did not end until Markham were lucky enough to score once again when Reesor shot from outside Port Perry's defence. The puck bounced along the ice heading for one corner of the net, striking a bump in the ice, going to the other corner and beating DeShane to it. The game (nearly over) became fast and exciting with Markham working as hard as they knew how. With about two minutes to go, two of Port Perry players received penalties, and still Markham were unable to score. This was a splendid game, both teams playing good combina- tion. The goalies of both teams making wonderful stops, especially when DeShane stopped two Markham players who broke through the defence. E. Sleightholm is to be congratulated on his accurate shooting which meant a lot in scoring goals.
