This advanced them into the semi-finals against a determined Brooklin team. Once again Robert .Haynes was the one, he was aided by some stellar goal tending by Wayne Oke. This game ended 1-0 in favour of Port. After this win Port had to wait for Cobourg and Belleville to declare a: winner, to --enter the final round. These two teams had the Port team oh pins and needles due to the fact that they went into three overtime periods before the Belleville team came out on top 4 to. 8. ended in a 8 all tie. Then came the exciting overtime which also went in- to three periods before Robert "Ace" Haynes sunk the winner. Also "in this game Robert scored another goal which added to one each by Richard "Rock" Carnegie and Doug. "Butch" McMillan gave the Port Boys a well deserved championship. In passing let it be said that the coach of the Belleville team can also be mighty proud of the playing of his boys.. The Port team was managed by Barry Howey and coached by Joe Fowler.

Several new thoughts | The cor- | A new provincial constituency of Oshawa was approved yesterday by the legislature select committee on redistributtion, cutting the city off from most of the former riding of Ontario and extending to the boun. daries of Scarborough and Markham townships. The new riding takes in the Improvement District of Ajax and the southerly portion of the Township of Pickeling, and a narrow: strip along the south end of the Town of Whithy and Whitby Township. Setting the final "boundaries of the new Oshawa riding and tifose of the riding of Ontario, of which Oshawa was formerly a part, proved a knotty 'problem for the redistribution com- mittee.- The chief point under discus-- sion was the placing of the Town of Whitby, which it was at one time pro- posed to leave in the same riding as Oshawa. T.D. Thomas, MLA, put up a strenuous argument in favor of hav- ing the City of Oshawa by itself creat- ed a new riding, in view of its popu- lation of «46,000, which is growing ra- pidly, == Members. of the' commitfee, however, turned down this proposal, and left the:lakeshore- strip, and half of Pickering Township attached to the city. 4 Exact Boundaries MLE The exact boundaries of the new Oshawa- riding can be given as fol- lows: The 'whole of the city of Oshawa, those sections of the Town of Whitby -and the Township of Whitby and the Township of Whitby lying south of Highway 401, the south half of Picker- ing Township up to. the 4th Conces- sion, the concession on which the vil- lage 'of Whitevale is 'located, and the western boundary to be the boundary lines of Scarborough and Markham 'Townships. The improvement Dist= riet of "Ajax is ipeluded in the new Oshawa riding as part of Pickering Township geographically. Wty The new Oshawa riding will have a voting population of 35,000, which is approximately the same as in the former riding of Ontario, the fact that Ontario Riding Changed The creation of tife new riding has changed the riding of Ontario to a major. degree. This riding will now include the Town and Township o Whitby, Port Perry, Scugog & Reach Townships, the Town of Uxbridge and the Townships of Uxbridge and Scott. Apart from Whitby, it will be predo- minantly a rural riding, and will have a voting' population of 15,000. The townships In the north added to it have been detached from the riding of Ontario- Muskoka, which. willin future be known simply as Muskoka Riding. Spring is here for we. Jhave just had a revue of the fashions for milady's Summer wardrobe. For 'the Fourth Year the Service Club of United Church has brought us a preview of the coming season. The numbers chosen this year were all of the practical low price field which can be obtained easily and worn often. All can he purchased locally being resentation of the Elizabeth Shop, F. W. Brock and Son and the A Ladies Wear. Accessories were also chosen from these stores, The very suitable and chic hats came from Brownscombe's of Uxbr idge with hair arrangements by Mrs. Len Col: bear and make-up by Mrs. E. McEa- chern, a Taio room setting. with a spring scene appearing through the open window. The scene was the work of Mr, Ralph Long, Commercial Artist, Oshawa. The flowers which added so much of the Spring feeling to the setting were the product of the Prince Albert Greenhouse, or the Port Perry Florists, as they are now called, Mrs, Wylie welconied the audience, that crowded the hall and introduced the Mistress of Ceremonies, Mrs. Su- wala, and then the Baby Ballet class of Mary Brotherwood performed. The very lovely clothes--'for the younger members of the family were displayed -by the children themselves and it was a question Which interested the audience the move. The children displayed all _the emotions from the pay little flirt, to the studied indiffer- ence of the self assured and the panic of an avtist with stage fright. The feature of the children's fashion seems to be the new fabrics with which the styles are made--the nylon products that wear and wear and still look bright and new, the permanent fin- ished cotton which look well even in the party dress and are inexpensive and casy to care for, Just everything that you could wish for in dressing the child for .play, -for sthool or for Sunday Schgol can be found in the Elizabeth Shuppe. and Japan were shown, each had its own interesting history which we | « would like to tell you, but this is about our own fashions.

The nylons, the glazed cottons, orlon! and acrilan are com- bined with the still favoured wool and silk to provide an endless variety to the pert styles which the makers are bringing to us this year. Suits are of course a must in any spring wardrobe * and these were brought to our attention with a num- ber of delightful models. The smart tailored suit or the soft dressmaker style ave both simple in detail, but, on, so smart in the fit and material. Co-. lors seemed to be either a soft grey or cocoa brown. Don't forget the fm- portance of accessories--the chic little hat, the right purse and gloves, the bright pin or gay scarf are so. much help in providing that well dressed appearance. Before we look at the dresses let's not forget the dress and cont ensem- bles. The coat and dress that are 'made for each other' can be very smart alone, too, and so gives your wardrobe a--big lift at a sh All cost. With the wonderful. dyes and matet- inl today, a little care and time spent in shopping can provide a perfect "change-about" ensemble that would be the joy.of any women's heart.
