rll Port Perry Wins Eastern Ontarlo Juvenile Title > SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. "EDITORIAL "Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam: His first, best country ever ia at home." protect it for us, THANK GOODNESS At last we have found someone who admits the essential unity between the Allies and the United States. Ambassador James Cromwell has voiced his personal sympathy with the Allied cause. True, he did not speak plclally as Ambassador from the United States; but he did voice the sen- timents and loyalties of millions of American people, who know that the Allied cause is just, and that human freedom would be endangered if the Allies were defeated. ? * We are glad that Ambassador Cromwell ignored the formalities, and spoke his mind, Half the troubles of the world arise from fear of offending those whom we know to be in the wrong, and be- cause we lack courage to stand up for the right. Just what would be the proper thing to do ac- cording to diplomatic rules is hard to say. But if we are all to wait until all ceremonial red tape is unwound before we can express an honést con- viction, we shall wake up to find that the expres- sion comes too late, i It is a serious loss when our leaders are robbed of the privileges of manhood because they are in an official position. How bad must distatorship hecome in the world before human indignation shall break all the diplomatic rules and say with the Allies--"This thing must end. We cannot permit brutal force to be the governing power in the world." . a . o 40> © EULOGY TO LIBERTY By Virgil Jordon, President of the National Industrial Conference Board. "Liberty is not granted -us by grace of govern- . ments, constitutions, courts, or Congress, nor can we depend upon them permanently to preserve and It does not. prevail or persist by.the power of political traditions, parties, per- sonalities or laws. Liberty springs solely from the spirit of those common citizens who have the will and courage to create it for themselves, the strength and integrity to accept its responsibilities and pay its. price, the. valor, vigilance and forti- tude to defend it even with their life against its unseen, i nt ad insidi i ference, ignorance, idolence and. injustice. Save as it is more precious to us than prosperity, peace, indif- endure among us. Every man in each genera- tion must renew and replenish its spirit in himself, and no man or any group can demand it for themselves and deny it to others without destroy- ing it for all." - eo dep oo MENTAL DIETING We are becoming fairly well acquainted with such words as vitamins and calories, and begin to "know the food values of starch, sugar, albumen and protein--that is, some of us do. So much to the.-good for those of us who know and act accordingly. In the field of mental diet we do not seem to be so well posted, or to be exercising the same good sense. Few persons would be so foolish as to hunt in garbage pails for physical food. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the 'mental garbage pail out of the home, where un- necessary trash can set up mental disease. Pope states the case well: "Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to_be hated needs but to be seen; Yet, seen too oft, familiar with its face, i] We first endure, then jity, then embrace." A sort of hopelessness has come over many good people in this matter of trashy and dirty reading. No person would think of parading the family slop pail in real life; but it has become popular to parade unnecessary personal details in books --in books that have the authorship of noted writers, ' Ghandi is said to have remarked about "Mother India"--*The drain inspector's report." All this is done in the name of realism. While much should be said against the goody-goody "good die young" books of half a century ago; "that is no excusé. for presuming that normal life is more. or less criminal. We could afford a few more books of Joseph Lincoln type--breezy, full of good sense and good humour. . There are other realities than those told in a manner suggestipg crime and lack of decent con- trol. : The unfortunate fact about the modern hooks that are unexpurgated is the fact that they are being read by perséms otherwise intelligent, and the reading is tending to make cynical the very Campbellford arena on ice which was + "long they got the better of him and comfort or security, it will never exist or long people who should be our courageous leaders. Last Saturday another team was 'eliminated from 'the 'Juvenile play- downs by our Port Perry Lions. This thrilling game took place at the very . hard and keen, making the "game exceptionally fast and full-of excitement during. the whole sixty minutes of play. RS ETRE HE The first period opened with the Campbelifford 'team pressing very hard in order to extinguish that four goal lead which Port Perry gained here on their first encounter. With the result that most of the play was carried on in the Port Perry area, giving Gordon Carnegie (the Port goalie) plenty of chances to pull off "many sensational plays, - But before slipped the dribbling puck into the corner of the net after it had re- hounded from the hoards out in front of the goal, This made the score one to nothing in favour of Campbellford. which made it appear that the four goal Jead would: he much needed. How- ever our hoys tightened up néaring the end of the first period but leavt the score 1.0 until the second peridd. Although the Campbelford team {.aowed a slight edge over Port Perry {in the first period, the stiffiiess in bour boys (due to the long bus trip) vanisfled completely during the 2nd "period, and the Hood, McMaster and Meneely line really became them- selves again, to mention nothing of the splendid work of Clark, Morden and Brown, and that never failing 'Edgar-Cooper "brick wall" defence, Shot after shot was peppered at both goalkeepers and soon that famous combination play from Meneely to long Hood burned another into the corner.of the net. Then, just when everything seemed to be going int, there was a long lightning-like shot labelled for the Port Perry net, Carnegie crouched in the usfial- manner and -prepared- to cateh it as he had many times before, but due to the tremendous speed of the shot it was misjudged. The puck - glided through his thumb and finger 'and struck him a terrific blow jn the mouth leaving a nasty gash on his upper lip.. He was carried off the ice and it was believed that he would be out for the rest of the game.' But after four clamps had' closed the wound he once again ap- peared on the ice, HEY About ten minutes still remaining in this eventful second period and again Port Perry scored, this time by McMaster which "brought the score 8-1 for Port Perry Lions at the end of the second period, ! Campbellford tryinf. to better theirs for the final period changed their goalkeeper for the remainder of the game but this did not change matters whatayer, Campbeliford began pre¥| ing hard to regain the lead but they could not score on Carnegie despite his injury. Both sides organized rush after rush until finally Clark for Port broRe .away dnd hooked anc other counter for the Lions. Seeing that Port Perry could hardly be beat- erf by now, manager George Manning allowed the subs Aldred and Stephens to play part time in this period, and even though they haven't played very much in an actual game, they put up' some wonderful rushing and splendid back-checking. : Again and again Campbellford McMaster, and then to Hood brought the first counter for Port Perry. This gave the team new. vigor and before fast as they weré organized. Then broke in on the defence and but Ed- gar and Cooper broke up the play as with only a few minutes in the third period, Art Brown rusehd from no- where and broke into the clear, dodged the defence and scored an- other for Port. -This left the score 5-1 for Port Perry, identical with the score here on Tuesday, and making it 10-2 on the round, with Port Perry Eastern Ontario Champions ~ and bringing them ¢loser and closer to winning the Juvenile cup for the whole of Ontario. The game was fairly clean, only three penalties being handed out--2 to Campbellford and one to Port.

During the campaign to raise funds for War Work, Messrs. Hutcheson and Harper were the team to visit the Letcher-Mann Shoe Factory they were very kindly received, Mr. Letcher called the staff to the front and explained to them the mission of the visitors and while giving the can- vassers an opportunity to address the gathering the employees were assured that their decision was entirely their where "own business and no pressure on the part of their employers was implied. Thanking Mr. Letcher and Mr. Mann for their courtesy, in as few words as possible the two gentlemen explained the drive to raise money. In the course of their remarks the suggestion was introduced that a bag might be passed around on each pay day for small voluntary contributions rather than pledge be given of a specific sum to be paid during the year or, an im- mediate cast donation. The bag idea was seized upon by Mr. A. Toncheff the cutter, himself a veteran of the last war, as a suggestion of merit and he proposed that the idea be left with them and they would try to work it $1.50 5 Watch your label; it tells when your subscription expires . . . per year in advance. cents a single copy of Commons.

There are 90,000 of these votes to be spread over 245 ridings. It is evident that no great change can result from these factors.
