Girt PETERBORO BEATS PORT PERRY 14-11 in Play-Off Series By Onlooker Before one of 'the largest crowds seen in this rink in years Port Perry went down to defeat before the well coached smogth skating Peterboro team, : ~ Byt pot hefore the final whistle blew, Port Perry puck chasers made it more than interesting for Peterhorq in the closing stages of the game, The game was well handled by Referee Max Reesor. Led by the good goalkeeping of Grice, after several bombardments Port opened the scoring by the sturdy defenceman, Brandon, who was play- ing his usual heady game. The ice became very heavy shortly after the start, but had everything that makes hockey one of our best winter sports. The game provided lots of excite- ment for spectators as there wero scrappy thrills and spills between the periods ag well gs in the game. Peterboro put on their usual gang- 'ing attack and kept the Ports on the defensive through most of the game, which kept the home defense working overtime. The heavy going made it necessary to change the players frequently for a well earned rest. Gali Defoe, star centre for Port, scoring the second goal, seemed to bring new life to the team, making the score at 'the end of the first period 2-2. H. Deshane getting twa.counters in the second and one in the third, made the Pete's look bad in spots. Steward getting the 6th counter, and his first goal this year was a happy fellow. As he is all over the ice, and trying every minute, he has taken a lot of abuse, bodily. J. Beare and B. Deshane, who are the little fellows of the team, who have worked hard all year, seemed to have got mired in the heavy going. J. Cooney pnd B, Vipond had an off night, both up and down the ice a lot of times, their back checking was off color.

The Game at Peterborough (Peterboro Examiner) Our Colts copped a 6-6 win over Port Perry here in the first of thei three-game group finals, They earn- ed the win but didn't exactly earn bouquets doing it. Not that we intend being too critical, as the boys battled their heads off and played clean hockey. They just wefen't clicking up to form. Their ganging plays re- sembled shinny and their combination was bad--poor passing at the wrong time and no passing when a little system meant goals. And no finish around the rival net. They skated hard, checked pretty well and kept trying, but they can play better hockey. They'll need to do so to win the group title. . * * » 'Of course, the style.of hockey the Perrymen play will disorganize any team. They play fast and check closer than a stamp to a letter. They bore into corners and keep fighting. Yeah, they've improved since their last time here and will be tougher to take on their own small ice than catching a cup of honey from a hive with all the bees at home. It'll be quite a series before all the votes are counted. TE . Burton Blewitt, Al Clark and Goalie Gord Clarke were the pick of the win- ners. They all turned in good games. The others were spotty, good at times but not all the time. Brady missed so many chances he thought he was in a batting slump. Coughlin was robbed of two, and is he sore? The referee thefted him of one by ringing the hell on a trip before the play was com- pleted. The goal judge--you guess it, he hails from Port Perry--stole an- other. Don has lost his faith in of- ficlals. Field went all right, despite the fact he felt sicker than a poisoned pup. Grice, Brandon, Cawker and Vipond looked best for the losers. sn By the way, some action should be taken about those fans who persist in smoking during the game. Some of them are evidently devoid of sports- manship. They've been asked repeat- edly to refrain from smoking except in the corridors, but a bunch of dim wits on the east side go right ahead-- not giving a thought to other fans or players. No other rink in Ontario permits smoking while play in on. We'd suggest a couple of cops be on hand and eject those babies, Yeah, we like a smoke, too, but we also like to see a good game, '| blems are very real, lent possibilities, and if thelr train- ing is continued year after year the day will come when the home town team will sweep the boards as has been done in years past. The training that is given should include proper control as to smoking and late hours. The successful sport has to make many sacrifices, What is said regarding hockey applies with equal force to other lines of entertainment. The qualities that make for success in these lines of life would be a real asset in meeting life's problems in everyday life, Ample opportunity for good cltizen- ship Is given along these lines. It will be 'a tragedy if our young folk degenerate into mere fans and radio listeners, when they might become leaders in their communities and have the fun and the development of the game. : We repeat our appreciation of the efforts of Community Clubs and sim- ilar clubs along these lines. Business Problems Necessity may be the mother of in- vention, but the problems which neces- sity forces upon us often work real hardship scarcely realized by the an- looker. It has been quite the fashion to talk of the problems of the farmer, and of the unemployed. And there is no disputing the fact that these pro- But that very fact is what makes the problems of the business man--the merchant, the small manufacturer, and all those who enter the field of industry in competi- 'tion with their fellows--so very dif- ficult of solution. The farmer cannot fix the price for his products, nor, in most cases, can the business man fix prices for his products or his goods. Competition steps in and frequently compels sale at prices far below the actual cost of production. The cost of production includes the price of material, the cost of labor involved, overhead charges and it should include interest on the capital invested. Rarely does the business man of to-day secure prices that include all these items plus a profit. The fact is that most busi- ness men are using thelr plants as a means to gain a foothold in the mark- et, without any hope of any return up- on thelr investment. which they have taken years to earn. This 1s merely a statement of the case, without any idea that the prob- lem will be solved. The system of competitive tendering for work and for various products is being-exploit- ed in many cases because men hav, become desperate owing to lack of employment, and have entered the field of industry and commerce willing to work for little. Added to this lack of profit is the fact that the employed are compelled to keep those who are unemployed for any reason whatso- ever, Slowly and painfully humanity must struggle toward the ideal of fair prices and the requirement that all who can must do a fair share of the productive labor of the world.

' TTT TTR ED OP pe RIGHT OF COUNTY COUNCIL TO HOLD BACK PORTION OF SCHOOL GRANTS CHALLENGED. (Whitby Gazette) When Ontario County Council re- cently voted to withhold until next June certain amounts coming to four urban municipalities--Whitby, - Ux- bridge, Port Perry and Cannington, on account of educational grants for the education of county pupils, on the ground that these places owe the county money overpayments for other years, it sure started something. At a recent meeting of the Whitby Council it decided that two can. work at the game of withholding money. By unanimous resolution it instructed the treasurer, when he pays the Coun- ty about April 16th next, the amount of the town's county levy for 1935 to deduct the sum of $1725.26, which is the amount the County treasurer is holding, on the County Council's in- structions, from the Board of Educa- tion grants for 1934 amounting to $8,686.80.

McQuesten, Minister of Public Highways, at Toronto, the Kingtson Road between Toronto and Oshawa will be widened by the govern: ment this summer. While time may not permit of the widening being car- ried as far as Oshawa, the work wil be pushed through as far as possible. The work will begin as soon as the weather permits, it is understood. The announcement should meet with the instant approval of motorists living throughout the districts served by the highway, as feeling has run high in the past over the traffic condi- tions experienced almost any day of the year along the highway. The large number of heavy transports using the road has further aggravated the traffic problem tothe extent that long lines of passenger cars have been held up while the transports negotiate grades at very low rates of speed. The fact that the Hon. Mr. McQuexs_ ten is fullly alive to the situation is borne out in his statement to the press last week when he 'said, "The Kingston Road should be widened as far as Oshawa at least. The traffic on that road warrants immediate widening." ---... ih ihbi>!I\i\h._,bB> G PROMINENT LAWYER OF UX. BRIDGE, PASSES W. 8S. Ormiston, prominent lawyer of Uxbridge, passed away, and the county loses one of its best known and highly esteemed citizens. He had practised in Uxbridge for the past forty years and was well known, not only among the law fraternity of the county, but in church and lodge cir- cles, He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Ormiston of Whitby, and received his early education in Whitby public and high schools, and after sturdy in Toronto was admitted to the bar. He opened up an office in Ux- bridge about forty years ago and has continued practice there until the time of his death. He was over seventy years of age. He was a prominent member of the Uxbridge Presbyterian Church and was an elder of that congregation for instructed its clerk and solicitor to collect. The town will charge the the county six per cent. on this $8686.80, which is the amount of inter: est the town is paying the county on the amount owing on the 1936 levy. Before this resolution was passed, Deputy-Reeve William Davidson told the Council that the County Council had been warned, when it voted to withhold the town's money, that the Town of Whitby would retaliate by holding back some of the money it owed the county. Reeve F. Rowe con: firmed the fact, "Has the County of Ontario any legal right to withhold money from the Town of Whitby to which it is en- 'titled by statute", Mayor Jackson asked. He believed the town should deduct the $1725.26 from the County levy which was to be paid shortly. Town Solicitor D. B. McIntyre was not prepared to give a decision at once, What the Council expects will hap- pen in June was not disclosed, but it is expected that no action will be taken until the action brought by Port Perry Board is disposed of. -------- OEP -- ONTARIO'S INCOME TAX Ontario's income tax law, delayed a week by persistent Conservative opposition, was carried through second reading and into committee in the Legislature. ~The bill was passed by two divi- sions-->52 to 16 and 51 to 16. The first division was forced by the Opposition on a Conservative amend: ment to "hoist" the bill for three months or until the Provincial Trea- surer provided financial data justi- fying the tax. The Government forced the second division on the reading of the bill but failed to pick up any supporters from the group of Toronto Conser- vative members, who are reported to be lukewarm in their opposition to an income fax. ee too ------------------ BELLING THE CATS A movement is on foot in one or more municipalities to have cats licensed. The proposed fee is to be $1 per year per cat, and the license tag is to be in the form of a collar with bell attached. The idea is a good one. Cats are particularly destructive of birds and it should be compulsory that the bell be worn by cats that are allowed to run at large.
