< SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher, EDITORIAL "Such isthe patriot's boast, where'er we ream: His first, best country ever is at home. + better sportsmanship among the people. _ fans, FY . - a . 5 | FAIR PLAY There is great need for the development of. The treatment meted out to our Juvenile Hockey team. . at Cobourg was a disgrace to Cobourg hockey It was unfair and ungentlemanly. Port Perry boys have been playing the game fairly and have won their games honorably. True sportsmanship should have given them the honor due to them. Instead of that a fight was started and some of the boys were badly mistreated. It is time that the Association took firm steps to prevent this type of thing and to give every as- sistance toward fair play. The fact that Port Perry is a comparably small place should have nothing .to do with the matter. Cobourg has no right to victory be- cause of its size, especially when that team violates association rules as to the age of players. We understand that the referee is bringing this matter to the attention of the Association. It was pleasing to note the courteBus freat- ment received by our boys in such places as Kingston and Peterboro. After all the play's.the thing, An inordinate desire to win leads to all kinds of trickery and unfairness. There has been far too Tueh of this in professedly amateur sport. : eo dopo PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE One of the great lessons our free speaking Can- . adians must learn is to conduct public business in orderly fashion, and to criticize upon a basis of fact. "Too often our people go to meetings and "speak to find out what they have to say. It is quite common for such people to arrive late, and to be entirely uninformed about the purpose of the meeting. The few leaders who have taken the trouble to inform themselves and present a con- structive plan, are accused of wanting Yo "run" things. There are certain rules' that are based on a sense of justice to all, that should be followed. Here follow a few of those rules as given in the Encylopaedia Britanica regarding. "Parliamentary Procedure: Ld "A member ay speak once only to any ques- tion, except to éxplain or upon a point of order, or to reply when he himself has submitted a mo- tion to the house, or-when an amendment has _ been moved which constitutes a new question." The chief fact to note about this ruling is that -it presumes that the subject for consideration has "heen stated and a resolution has been moved be- fore discussion takes place. The formula for the Sharm of the meeting is "Moved by -------- ecoffded by (then read the resolution). Strom forthe question?" At this point discussion may begin, the idea being that some definite action is to be taken on the matter in "hand; and the members line up for or against such action. The chairman may not take part in the debate, while acting as chairman, If he wishes to discuss the resolution he must vacate the chair asking another to preside pro tem. He may vote, and in the event of a tie has a casting vote. The Chairman is looked upon as an official whose main duty is to see that the debate is fairly conducted; and to keep clearly before the mem- bers-the actual subject under discussion. An amendment must be so worded as to alter the original motion; but.it is not an amendment if the purpose is merely to defeat the griginal mo- tion, That may "be done by voting "against the resolution. For instance, a resolution may vote a certain sum for -a given purpose. An amendment may reduce or enlarge that-amount; but it ceases to be an amendment if it proposes that no action be taken. These simple rules help very considerably in carrying out business, and save many misunder- standings and consequent confusion. The coming years will require a fuller understanding of the proper conduct of public business on the part of our young people. If they are to take their place in administration that is growing more compli- _ cated as the years pass, they must learn how to conduct business and avoid useless discussions. eo 4dep o { THE CHANGING SEASON Melting snow, puddled, rutted roads, chasing squirrels, cawing crows, a honking goose, or screeching gull--these are signs that winter is passing. » While winter has been very pleasant this year, taken as a whole, we are always glad to wel- come spring. Mark Twain's remark about the weather is: particularly apt just now. No sub- jéct is being more generally discussed, and we can do nothing about it.-, But we can wake up to the opportunities that the changing season presents, We can clear the slush from the sidewalks when nature is kindly softens the ice and snow that have become so -- thoroughly packed on these footpaths. _We can begin to plan for work in the fields and gardens, We can secure good seed and see that the equipment is ready for the work as soon as 'we can start. This year of all years we should _ grow all the food that can be grown. Millions of people the world over will need that food next "winter, If Canada is to be the granary of the world, then we must grow the grain, without any nonsense about restricting the output to keep up the price. Lloyd George says of Britain: "As a nation we , have depended far too exclusively on the export ~ trade; -From a financial point of view it was more profitable. No fortunes are made in farming. But from the point of view of the security of the "realm, the health of the people, and the provision .of employment for masses of the population, this concentration on urban industry and export trade to the detriment of the cultivation of our soil has turned out to be dangerous, and may be dis- astrous." Canada can become the outstanding country of the world if we are willing to do our share in the service of humanity. And humanity needs our service as it has never needed it before. But we have no right to expect this-foremost place in the world except upon the basis of service rendered. . + Spring will bring uncounted joys to those who love nature. Every opening bud and flower; the ' 'growing-.grass at first so patchy and later so luxurious; the songs of the nesting birds; the wel- come warmth of the sun--all these combine to in- _ crease our happiness.

Port Perry romped home with a score of 11-3. A superior brand of hockey plus Carnegie's lovely goal tending gave Port Perry a decided margin all through the game. In fact it was just another work-out for the Port boys. The goals came go fast it was hard to keep tab on them. The original Cobourg team were disqualified in their play-off series with Campbellford for having players over age but the Association brought Cobourg back into the series again with an entirely new team. The Port boys are certainly playing top-notch hockey and déserve a lot of credit for eliminating the best teams in Eastern Ontario. The local fans have given great sup- port all through the series--the at- tendance has been over 500 for each home game.

The Cobourg team had changed their line- up from the first game by adding three Junior B players. These players made a big difference to the Cobourg team. The Port boys were kept busy from start to finish. They took a lot of punishment but certainly stood up well onter it. The third period was a wild affair. One of the Cobonrg players hit Edgar with his fist. Edgar dropped his stick and started a fight. That started a regular4free-for-all fight. Somebody hit Carnegie on his split lip (which has four stitches in it already) and the game was held up for five minutes. Carnegie returned to the ice to finish the game. Carnegie held the team out tof some tough spots with sensational stops. The Port boys all played good hockey. Ist Period Hood, Port Perry ............6 mins.

First Period Right at the start,-Midland caught the Port Boys off their guard and slipped in two goals in a very short time. Port Perry just couldn't got their plays_working, leaving Carnegie with a tremendous amount of work to do. But he managed to not Iet any more by him until the 19 minute point in the first period, when a rebounding puck glanced off the boards out to the front of the net where a Midland play- er banged it in. This left the score 3-0 for Midland. Just as the players were about to leave the ice, a Midland === player (for some reason or another) "NOT ONE ELECTION RESULT ALTERED BY SOLDIERS' VOTE came up behind McMaster and slashed {him across the face, just below the eye.

Right from .the start Port began pressing hard to regain those lost points but their plays just wouldn't click around the net. Six minutes went by and still neither team had scored but then a tricky combination crig-cross play beat Port Perry's de- fence and gave Midland a close shot at Carnegie.
