Flyers Trounse Jr. Petes 7-2 - It was said last week that Saturday night's game on Jan, 16th would find the Port Flyers right after the Jr. Petes and that is just what they did and when the final score was tallied they had bested the Petes 7 to 2. The Flyers made it quite clear In the first period they had no intention of wasting time in the penalty box as was the case last game. The net result, Johnson served one minor pen- alty and that was it, as the Flyers chalked up b goals and at the same time held the Petes scoreless. oo erley from Fisher were the 1st tally at 9.40, then Ed Romanuk sent a sizzler past Delchaye at 18.45 for number two. The third goal was scored by Neil Attersley taking the puck right through, drawing the goalie out and pushing it in at 13.68. At- tersley also scored the fourth goal af- ter taking a nice pass from Dykstra at 14.66, The final goal of the first period came at the 17.22 mark when Bill Cornish bulged the twine after taking the pass over from Steffen. In the second period the Petes tried for a comeback and did manage one goal at 65.46 when the trio of Byrne, Hook and Allan broke through and Allan was successful in banging it past Hawe 'jn 'the Port net for the only goal of the period. Port Flyers served only two penalties to four for the Jr. Petes in the second period. Third period broke very fast and once again the Flyers put on the pres- sure and at 6.28 Dykstra sent a long rife shot Into the Pete net and at 7.31 Attersley scored his fourth of the night.. The Jr. Petes made a final spurt at the 14.12 mark, Brooks took the pass from Ball and made it count. Third period penalties--Steffen of the Flyers served a charging penalty while Ball was given a 10 min, mis- conduct for the Petes. Lindsay Indiays come here to-night, Jan. 20, and from all reports the In- dians are a much improved team since Port met them last. The Petes just managed to beat them with a score of 6 to 5, so there is no doubt that it will be better hockey to-night. Bee you there.

It is the 8 | first time in 17 years that Port Perry's "| Reeve has been elected to the Warden. ship of the County, Four members of Council were nom- inated for the office but one withdrew. Reeve Peel, in a brief address before balloting - began, noted that it had been 17 years since his municipality had been represented by the Warden and added that if the County Council should sce fit to hold centennial cele- utmost to make the event one that would go down in the honorable his- tory of this county. Reeve Hart recalled that in 1880, Reeve J, KE. McPherson, of Rama Twp. had heen elected Warden of Ontarlo County and in all the years since, not one Reeve of Rama had been elected to the Warden's chair. It was his wish, he said, to take this honor back to the northernmost township of the County of Ontario. From the opposite corner of the county, Pickering Township, Reeve Todd noted that he had served on the county council since 1950 and now only three other members of the council were still in office. His Township, he - said, was the largest municipality in the county and this year would pay nore than $100,000 into the county treasury. Besides, he added, it might be a number of years before another Reeve of Pickering could sit on coun- cil long enough to make a bid for the Wardenship.
