A delicious Turkey Dinner, served by the Ladies of the Church, a good crowd, a famous hockey per- sonality and of course the hockey team rounded out a very enjoyable evening. Mr. Jack Tisdall, coach, introduced the team and we are very happy to see holdovers from last year's team, Attersley, Johnson, Hawes, Dykstra, Fisher, Romanuk and Zedic with us again this year. Mr, Jack Tisdall is coach again this year and has the boys ready to go. Mr. Matt Layden, head of the Osh- awa Minor Hockey Association had the pleasure of introducing the speak- er of the evening, Mr, Harold Cotton. Mr, Cotton, chief scout of the Bos- ton Bruin organization, discussed pro- fessional and Minor Hockey in Can- ada to-day. In regards to profession- al Hockey in large cities in the United States, he feels that the poor crowds there are not caused by poor teams, but due to the fact that the number of hockey fans in those cities is very limited. In Canada from October to March the main topic is hockey. He, feels quite sure that if American children played hockey as all the child- ren in Canada do the hockey situation in the United States would be alto- gether different, Canadian youngsters are brought up on hockey and as Mr. Cotton said "Many Canadian children have skates and a hockey stick even before they can walk," "Mr. Cotton also feels"that the tie- up between professional clubs and minor hockey groups is an asset ra- ther than a detriment to hockey. He stated numerous cases where a young developing hockey player was assisted by the parent cjub in regards to his education. Many players who other- wise might have had the opportunity to go to college were assisted finan- cially and placed in cities where they could continue their education as well as their hockey careers. Mr, Cotton urged the people of Port Perry and vicinity to support this fine Junior B team we have and as he pointed out a good team will play even better if the arena is full and the players know the town is behind them, Mr. Les Virtue, President of the Business Men's Association thanked Mr. Cotton for taking the time to come to Port Perry and help us to make the first "Meet the Hockey Club Dinner" a_wonderful success. PORT PERRY FLYERS DROP SERIES OPENER Port Perry Junior "B" Flyers drop- ped their first series game after doing so well in four exhibition tilts. Tuesday, Nov. 28rd was the open- ing date for the first series game of the Lindsay, Peterboro, Orillia, Port Perry Junior "B" 'schedule. It was played in Lindsay with Fort Perry be- ing the visitors. The first two periods were fast and somewhat rough. Lindsay opened the scoring at 8.06, Gordon tallied on a pass from O'Neil, and it was 18.39 be- fore Fisher got it back when he fini- shed off a nice play with Attersley and Rennick. Port took two penalties to Lind- | say's 6 in the first period and 6 to Lindsay's 4 in the second, one of the latter's being a misconduct. Scoring in the second period, first for Lindsay, Carvett from Dawson at 5.88 and Burns unassisted at 7.56. Neil returned one for Port at 10.10 un- assisted. Second frame ended 3-2 in favour of Lindsay. Port Flyers started to rally early in the third when Stephen tallied on a pass out of the corner from Atters- ley. But this rally was short lived TO LINDSAY son to put Lindsay ahead to stay and from there until the end of the game Lindsay had control ~ as the Flyers' defence fell apart and left too much for Palmer Eng to do in the Port: net. Lindsay put the game on ice as they tallied three times in quick succession when Carvett dropped two into Port's net at 16.18 and 17.36 aided by Pear- son and Hennessey. Then to finish it off Graham counted again at 19.26 on a pass from Pearson. Making a total score of Lindsay 7, Port 3. The Flyers had more shots on the net than Lindsay but just couldn't seem to get any breaks--such as one shot went behind Lindsay's Kemp, slid along the goal line, ticked the opposit goal post and few out instead of in. Luck just wasn't with them; that's all. The Flyers were minus two of their first string regulars, Dykstra and Zedic, while Hawe warmed the bench to give Knight a chance in goal. It should be a fast and exciting game here Saturday night when the for at 7.10 Graham scored from Pear- same two rivals tangle again.

Reach Township | Teachers Meet at Bethesda The teachers of Reach: Township School Area met in Bethesda School, Thursday, Nov. 4 with Mrs, Wilbur presiding. Due to the illness of Mrs. Swanick the meeting could not be held at Marsh Hill School as had been pre- viously planned. We all wish Mrs, Swanick a speedy recovery to health, We were glad to welcome the Scugog teachers into our group. The meeting opened with the sing- ing of O Canada accompanied by Mrs: Sandison. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting. During a discussion of the prize list sent out by the Port Perry Fair, Mrs. Mero suggested that there should be a division made between Junior and Senior Art. On the suggestion of Mr. Knight a committee consisting of Mrs. Hunter, Mrs." Samells and Mrs, Mar- tyn were nominated to approach the Fair Board re adjusting the prize list satisfactorily. The group in charge of the next meeting are Mrs. Randall, Miss Sleep, and Mrs. Beckman, The treasurer's report was read and the nominating committee read their report on the new slate of officers for the coming year: President Mrs, Wil- bur; Vice-President, Mr. Venner; Sec.» Treas, Miss McArthur. . Bethesda School children entertain- ed us with two choruses. Mr. Knight spoke to us in regard to the marking of the new S.A's forms and the new register. Also he brought before us a suggestion that workshop groups would be of value in discussing our individual standards of teaching. Mrs. Dobson gave us some valuable ideas in drill in Arithmetic and in doing Mental Arithmetic. We were all very interested too, in seeing Mrs, Samells' many ways of mounting leaves, and watching her demonstra- tion of spatter work. Mrs. Mero had some very helpful suggestions for pro- ject and craft work, and brought a considerable number of clever samples to show us. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of God Save the Queen. A tasty lunch was served by Mis. Barton with Mrs, Sandison and Miss McArthur assisting. The Curling Club The Curling Club, in spite of recent mild weather, has got away to a good start, % As of the 17th inst, only two rinks are undefeated, indicating a well bal- anced schedule with good conibetition. The Clubs finances are in excellent shape, and all that is lacking is colder weather to enable the ice-makers to carry out their plan to build up the sides--something of a problem on any curling rink. Women's Hospital Auxiliary The annual meeting of the Women's Hospital. Auxiliary was held in the Library on November 16th, last. Mrs. M. B. Dymond, President opened the meeting with prayer, after which she extended a most cordial welcome to all present., The usual reports were read and adopted. The secretary's and treas- uier's annual reports were most grati- fying, and we all feel that a great deal has been accomplished during the year just closing. Mr. R. J. Harper was gracious enough to audit our treasurer's books without cost to us, and we do thank him. Last June Mrs. Cornish and Mrs. Humphries were appointed librarians to the Hospital. Since that time they have collected many magazines, and one hundred and twenty-seven books have been taken to the Hospital for the use of the patients, who appre- ciate this service very much. Our sincere thanks, therefore, go to the Library Board and Mrs. Ingram, with- out whose assistance thig would not have Leen available. As reported some time ago the Gideons placed a number of Bible and Testaments in the Hospital, and in the near future the Catholic Women's League will place one of their Bibles in the Hospital. It is a pleasure also to report that vecently The Evening Telegram do- nated a year's subscription of their paper, another service much appre- ciated by the patients. During the past month the Auxiliary purchased a number of much-needed articles for the Hospital kitchen, while our big project, (furnishing a children's ward) has gone on apace, some of the furniture having already arrived. Part of the equipment is a croupette, which we know will give great relief to little sufferers from respiratory ailments This equipment alone is costing considerably over three hundred dollars. Our next money raising project will be the Doll Festival and Christmas Fair. There will be a further an- nouncement about this in the press shortly Following the regular business meeting Mrs. M E. Morrison, Super- intendent of the Hospital, gave a short talk to the ladies present. She spoke particularly about the great amount of sewing and mending which had Leen done, also the lepding library. Quoting Mrs Morrison: "Our hospitals do not display much of what they do for the sick in the community and as a visitor, or even a patient, you see only a fraction of the service that goes to maake sick folks well and strong again. The citizens of this commun- ity should be proud of the modern hospital everyone has worked so hard to build.
