Vandorf Lumberkings visited Port Perry on Thursday, January 27, with hopes runnjng high that they would even their home and home series with the IGA's. Their hopes were soon .11.08 mark of the first period and were Jnever behind throughout the game. " Hochberg made it 2-0 for Port before | Smith tallied at the 17.47 mark to make it 2-1 at the end of the first period.. Each team received one pen- alty in the first period, McInnis of Vandorf at 4.62 for interference and Howey of Port Perry at 7.36 for .in- terferance. iy Port 'Perry made it 4-1 in the sec- ond period when Till blinked-the ved light at 8.31 from Wallace and Hoch- * berg, and, Christie from Till at the 15,20 mark. Three penalties were han- ded out in the second period, two to Vandorf and one to Port Perry. Each team collected two goals in the third period and Vandorf received the only three penalties. On Saturday, January. 29, Port Perry ventured to Bobcaygeon but came home defeated by a 16-10 score. The game which proved to bea scor- ing spree was fast and. rugged and saw a total of nine penalties handed out by referree Herb Payne of Peter- job in handling thé game, consider- as well as his own. The first eight goals that Bobcaygeon scored were off-side and from the expression on the referee's. face he was quite dis- glusted with his partner. I would al- so like to note that the hockey fans "of Bobcaygeon are the most non- sportsmen like people that I have ever had the misfortune of running deross. Mac Christie was the big gun for Port Perry, scoring three, The other goal getters for Port were McKee, Don Mark, Cochrane, Wallace and Bradbury, On Monday, January 31, Port Perry visited, the Barrie arena where they played the up and coming Thornton - It was very fast and exciting, #Mvckey. ~ Thornton collected two in the first on markers by Black and Broley, while Port counted one when Mark scored from Hochburg at the 9.45 mark. One penalty was handed out that going to Thornton at 18.46 (Broley for holding the puck). Glen Till evened the score for Port Perry at the 6.66 mark of the gecond when he made sure of a nice pass that he received from Bill Gibson. Three penalties were handed out in the second, two to Thorntoh, Adams at 7.10 for interferance and Casey for slashing at 18.60 and one to Port Perry, Don Marks, a ten minute mis- conduct, for banging the boards. The third period SAW Some very and gave everything they had. Port 'Perry managed to come out victorious At the final bell by a 4-3 count when they scored two to Thornton's one. Marks scored from Christie at 6,40 and Wallace scored unassisted at the 8.66 mark. Hadden scored Thornton's only goal in the third period. Siw penalties were handed out- in this frame, three to Port and three to Thornton. Port Perry penalties went to Christie for tripping at 8.09, Hoch- burg for holding at 17.23 and again for tripping at 19.45. On Tuesday night last, Minden managed to eek out a 2-1 decision over the IGA's. Both teams played very g@od' hockey which made the The Minden goal keeper played an exceptional game in the net for Min- den. "He was also very lucky on a good many. occasions as Port Perry had the 'biggest part of the play 'throughout 'thé: game. I was quite disappointed with the crowd that at- tended this'game. These boy's have been playing some very good hockey, as have the other teams in Port Perry. Hockey will never survive in Port if the people. will not get behind and give the teams there support. SO COME ON PORT PERRY LET'S GET OUT AND GET BEHIND THESE TEAMS OF OURS. THEY. NEED YOUR SUPPORT. K.A.S.

The damage was confined to the floor of the building and small holes in the rgof but the desks and books were charred from the extensive heat. Port Perry officials said the damage wae between $2,000 and $3,000. They said the fire must have started near the furnace. The floor was burnt through for about ten feet around the heater and flames had eaten away parts of the roof. The fire was discovered about 7.10 am. and trucks were sent from Port Perry and Uxbridge, Port Perry of- ficials noted that the person who dis- covered the blaze had the presence of mind to keep the doors and windows locked, thus containing the blaze, The lone teacher at the school, Mrs. R. Wilbur, said that the interior was pretty well damaged. At the time of going .to press plans had been made to carry on school 'in the basement of the United Church at at Epsom. A change in these ar- rangements may be made at a later date, Group and a pleasing program was Last Saturday night the: Port Fly- ers:were successful in getting Leaside one of the Big Nine League to come to Memorial Gardens in Port: Perry in order to compensate for the loss of a game on this date with Orillia. The Flyers played hard but were not able to best the Leaside boys. The game was rather rough and scrambly with ILeaside drawing '14 penalties and the Flyers 9. Leaside scored twice in the first period, Warren (Morrison) 4.35 and Warren 4.53. There were no goals in the second period but in the last period Bishop assisted by Romanuk and Attersley scored at 3.32 anly to have Cherry for Leaside get it back at 4.36 and Cherry again scored at 10.61 while Romanuk assisted by Dykstra netted Ports last tally at 12,15, and while the Flyers worked hard they were unable {fo keep the Leaside boys from counting one more at 16.34 to wind up the scoring and make it 5 to .2 for Lea- side. Port Flyers will meet the Jr. Petes here again on Saturday, Feb. 6th so don't fail to be on hand. The Flyers will be fighting to gain first place in the standings. : -. Junior Farmers Port Perry, Jan, 25, 19556 Perhaps you do not eat your pota- toes with a spoon but do you have some other faulty table manners uh- known to yourself? Do you abandon your car on the street'instead of pro- perly parking it? You do know that the County Council is not a Whitby men's club but do you know the re- sponsibilities of the council members? Answers to these question will be found in the subjects of "Etiquette and Social Cugtoms", "Courtesy on our Highways", and "Municipal Gov- ernment", These form in part the educational "topics chosen by twenty- five Port Perry Junior Farmers as they met to outline their programme plans for the coming months. The subjects were chosen by the boys and girls as they participated in group discussions, Sandra James, Ted Lamb, and Harley Johnson were nomi- nated a'committee to select one of the chosen topics and detail a programme for the February meeting, Assistant Agriculture Representa- tive John Gill outlined advantages of full membership participation in our meetings stating that the shy person who sits back could often contribute valuable ideas for the club and soon gain tonfidence in himself as a speak- er in public. This can well be ac- complished by dividing a large group info small discussion groups. President James Wilknson renewed the proposition that the Junior Farm- ers could possibly receive trainipg in Folk and Square Dancing by the Com- munity Programmes Branch of The Department of Agriculture. A vote was taken and the members favoured by a large majority that this matter should be investigated further, An- other decision was that an 'Open Night" would be held in the future at "Joan Calbery, "No" said she. Leaside Juniors Win Tilt with Flyers which time all those interested persons outside the membership-would be in- vited to attend. Among the topics chosen to high- light the boys agricultural meetings were "Soil Management", debates on the profit of a baby beef versus the profit of a mature beef and "The use of 'Propane as a Tractor Fuel, Jim Wilkinson, Walter . Sanderson and David Jackson are in charge of out- lining details for the: February Junior Farmer separate meeting. Subjects chosen by the Junior In- stitute for their coming meeings are "Party Refinement", "What We Wear", "There is So Much to See", "As Others See Us", and "The: Story of Our School". Chairmen of these meetings are Carol Midgley, Sandra James, Eleanor Hutchinson, Joan Cal- bery, and Lois Sandison respectfully. . "Is it this one?" Bill Lamb asked "Then is it this one?" quizzed Bill, "Yes" replied Joan and she was right. ..Joan was one of the few who succeeded in solving the technics in the "guessing game" played by the Juniors during the recreational period. In this game five objects are set in a row and the participant must leave the room while one object is "secretly chosen" as "it", The participant 'then returns and is given the opportunity to identify which object it is. The formula will be disclosed at some future recrea- tonal meeting. Jim Wilkinson, Muriel and Bill Lamb, recreational committee concluded the lively period with a basketball game.
