Lands committee selects the lands which will be plowed and try to arrange it so all plowmen will be working on: similar land. They have to select lands for 1000 plow- men, who will plow up about 300 acres. The tractor committee will have to arrange for the provision- of about 250 tractors, representing about a half-million dollars. This will also be quite a task since row crop trac- tors and other special types of trac- tors will not always be satisfactory. The teams; committee has to ar- range for the procuring of 40 to 50 teams and look to their accommoda- tion for the four days. ' Expecting at least 100,000 visitors, a considerable' parking problem.

Since then he has travelled exten- sively as an observer in the Far East nearly every year since 1945, includ- ing being a war correspondent. in Korea. ! Mr. Courtenay was born in England and educated at Wallasey and at the University of London. In the first World War he served in Gallipoli, Palestine and Syria and was awarded the Military Medal at the age of 20. He then learned to fly in 1917 and joined the R.A.F, In 1941 he was sent out by the United Kingdom Government to speak in the U.S.A. and Canada on the Bat- 'tit was do or die for Orangeville, Both Brooklin Juniors Mest Gananoque in Semi-Finals -dens, Port Perry, the Brooklin Jrs. On Monday last in Memorial | earned the right to advance into the! Ontario semi-finals (Jv. "D" class) by defeating Orangeville by a 6-5 count. After ousting Unionville in the first round of the play-offs the Brooklin crew took on Orangeville in a four out of seven series for the second round. The series lasted five games with Brooklin dominajing the Orange-! ville crew four games to one. Brook- lin won the first three games and took the fifth after dropping a close deci- sion to Orangeville in the fourth, Monday nights game was a real thriller with both teams skating hard and fast. The tempers at times wove a little high as both teams were hitz- ing very hard. The game could have gotten out of hand very easily but referees Ivan Locke and Ned Viterelli kept the boys cooled off by handing out a number of penalties, . RuOkI took the lead early in the game and racked up a 1 to 0 lead by the end of the second. period. Oran- geville came to life in the third and with' the help of a fei Broklin penal- ties, soon had the game tied up. Or angeville again broke the ice and took the lead late in the period by a 6 to 4 count. The Brooklin line of Cornish, Carnegie and Gibson put on the pres- sure and with only a matter of min- utes left to go put the game back on even terms. The pressure was on for teams and including the spectators were hiting their fingernails for it could be 'anybody's game. The Or- angeville crew tried hard to get that winning tally as they had Brooklin bottled up in their own end and mis- sed a number of good chances, but Owen in the Brooklin nets, who had played brilliantly throughout the en- tire game, held them in check. With less than a minute to go Carnegie flipped a pass to Cornish at the blue- line; who made a quick break away and tallied his second of the night to put the game on ice, The semi-final series with Ganano- que should be a thriller and one that no one should miss. The next game here will be on Monday, March 19 in the Port Perry Arena. Some.of our local boys are playing with Brooklin this year and are doing a marvelous job. Jack Owen, Bill Cornish, Bob Carnegie and Garnet Warriner, all local boys help make up the Brooklin crew. Anyone who has not seen these boys in action this year shojld be on hand next Monday to see what Port Perry has produced. The goal getters for Brooklin in the last game were as follows--Bill Cox- nish (2), Elmo Gibson (2), Murray Jones (1), and Grant Jones (1). Let's see a good turn-out next Mon- day night to see Brooklin and Gana- noque in action. The writer predicts you won't be sorry. They can use your support. ' Obituary MRS.

It' was certainly well worth seeing. The Lakeshore Club brought their lighting effects with them and when we entered the arena we were imme- diately impressed with the pleasant atmosphere and the lovely screen with the soft pink lights." It certainly transformed the arena from'a bleak hockey area to a ballroom floor--we expected to see dancing and we did.
