This was the first game of the play-off series-- games, goals to count. The first game was played hetween the Boston Allstars vs. Black Hawks. These teams are of Pee Wee age. The score was tied 2-2 at the end of the All the boys played well and kept digging right to the final bell, The second game played between the Maple Leafs and the Bruins, ban- tam age, ended in a score of 6 to 2 for the Leafs. This was the game. The way those boys played, both teams, would put many older teams to shame. . This writer was informed, from dif- ferent sources, that the score did not indicate the strength of the teams. These sources informed me that the Leafs were not four goals. stronger than the Bruins, It. was disappointing not to see many more people in the arena, especially the parents of the young boys playing. The final game of these two series will be played on Monday night, Mar. 12, at 7.00 o'clock (as far as hockey club knows now.) The admission will be 26¢. and 10c., the proceeds going to help finance the Pee Wee trip to God- rich during the Easter holidays. Won't you come out and watch your sons play hockey and I mean 'hockey', the improvement of some of these boys over last year is tremendous, for your support will really give them some- thing to play for. Also it will give the hockey club in- centive to carry on in future years the good work they have been doing in the past, two / |lLocal Resident ins $236.84 Jack Pot Tuesday of this week Mrs. M. E.

Drivers in Port Perry will be pleased to see the main road patched up. The work comenced this week and naturally is only a temporary measure, as little more can be dong until after the spring break-up. AOE The new by-law regarding double parking on Queen street is causing a lot of talk, especially among de- livery men who are wondering how they are going to make deliveries to the stores that haye no access at the rear. Very few stores have, especial- ly in the winter and spring when lanes are impassible, --0-- Now that Spring is coming (we' hope) and the patches of grass appear through the snow, parents are reques- ted to remind the children that short cuts across the neighbours lawns and gardens are harmful and for a few week they should take to the long way, "around. --0-- Perhaps we should also call atten- tion to the danger of rabis in dogs and cats. The daily papers and the radio have been full of information regarding symptoms, ete., and while none have been reported here, it might prevent a serious accident if mum or dad made sure that the children are aware of the danger and given some instruction about what they should and should not do. s Farewell Party For John Gill were in the for John Agricultural Represen- Surprises air Gill, Assistant ative, on Saturday evening, '5th, when the County Junior Farmers all joined in wishing John the best of" luck in his new position on the staff of the Animal Husbandry Department at the O0.A.C, The guidance and assistance given by John-to all the Junior Farmer Clubs and Judging teams during the past three and one-half years, was greatly appreciated by all the Juniors. by the lovely gifts which were presented to him.
