C.W.L. Regional Meeting Regional meeting held on October 2nd, of the Catholic Women's League for the Ontario County South Region held in the Parish Hall of the Immacu- late Conception Parish Hall, Port Perry, Ont. The meeting opened with Prayer by the Rev. Paul Dwyer Re- gional Director. The new President, Mrs. L. Ruest Presided welcoming the group and introduced the guests in attendance who were Mrs. Ward Mar- kle, Arch Diocesan President, Mrs. 'Geo. V. Davis, 1st Vice President, Arch Diocesan Council, and Rev. C. Mulvihill, Arch Diocesan Director of Toronto. Father Dwyer presented Mrs, A.

Wil- son North District Commissioner of the Girl Guides of Oshawa, who gave a very interesting -and informative talk on Guiding from the first stage of Tweeneys right along the trail to the Gold Cord Guides and the Sea Rangers. Mrs, Davis, Mrs. Markle, and Father Mulvihill all spoke btiefly, The Priests attending were Father Darby, Ajax, Father Austin, Whitby, Power Company and a number of other Father Wubels, Port Perry and Fa- companies and he also is Chairman of "the Board of Directors of a number of insurance firms, He takes over from , ther Dwyer, St. Gregory's Oshawa. Delicious refreshments were. served by the ladiés of the Part Perry Catho- J. G. Crean, Toronto, former President lic Women's League who were in of The Canadian Chamber of Com-' charge of social arrangements for the merce, | evening, "The highlight of the plowing events was the victory of a 22-year old On- tario County plowman, Hugh Baird, of Blackwater, in the Canadian champion- ship event. Thus, for the second time in recent years, this county will pro- vide one of the two Canadian competi- tors in the world plowing champion- ship match, which will be held in the United States next year, The former Ontario county representative was Joe Tran, of Claremont, who was Canadian champion two years ago. In second place in the Canadian championship was Douglas Reid, of Brampton, who was also runner-up for the Ontario Championship. Since only one plow- man from any pravince can be on the Canadian team, however, he will be replaced in the world championship contest by Stanley Willis, of Cornwall, Prince Edward Island, who came 8rd in the Canadian championship event. After two years of bad weather for the International, exhibitors as well as match officials are delighted with the success which has attended the match held at Brooklin, Thursday's crowd of over 60,000 was the largest scen at a match on any one day since 1946, when on the official opening day at Port Albert, near Goderich, 80,000 people entered the grounds for the match. hi From a financial standpoint, the match is assured of being a.complete success. The Ontario County'Commit- tee, which has to bear the heavy ex- pense of setting up all the facilities for the match, saw its worries disap- pear as Thursday's huge crowd pour- ed into the grounds, and assured suf- ficient receipts to meet the expenses. Last year at Leamington, there was a deficit of $10,000 te be met by the Ontario Plowmen's Association, and in 1964, at Breslau, in Waterloo County, the deficit was around $6,000. Bad weather was the cause of the failures of these two matches from a financial standpoint. The many trophies and awards were presented at the plowing match ban- quet held at the new Oshawa shopping centre in Westmount, where 1200 peog- ple sat down to a turkey dinner for which six Oshawa church groups did the cateyipg. _ This dinner was tender- ed by the City of Oshawa, Mayor W. John Naylor was the presiding official. ------ District Churches SCUGOG PASTORAL CHARGE Last week Tuesday the Ladies of Manchester United met at the Church and gavé the basement a. regular face- lifting. The walls are painted blue, and the floor a rich wine colour. Cur- tains are being made for tit windows, and also to divide the various Classes in Sunday School. Plans are being made to have all the children start coming to Sunday School again. The Teachers have met, and we have set Sunday, November 4th, ag the day, It will be Rally Day for the Whole fa- mily, The minister will tell a bible Story and a Missionary Story by "flannelgraph", in place of the Ser- mon; and all the children will remain for the whole Service. We hope that all the parents will come and bring the children. Our children not only love to go on hikes and picnics with to Church and Sunday School with us, which is much better than being sent alone, Our Thanksgiving Services on Sun- day were well atténded at all three Services. There were many familiar faces that were missing; but we look for them this Sunday. At "Grace Church" Joan Aldred and Florence Fralick sang "Thanks be to God", At Prospect Elaine Yeo sang "Bless this House", and at Manchester Mr. and Mrs. Moon, friends of the Frank Cro- siers, gave us a Solo and a Duet, We thank those who so generously gave of their time to decorate the Churches, and help to create a spirit of thank- fulness. - Grace Church held a Congregational Meeting on Monday evening, and un- animously agreed to enter a union with Head Memorial and the Indian Mission, A special invitation was gi- ven to the Indian Mission to come in- to the union.

Af. ter a general discussion of what should be done this year regarding minor hockey in Port Perry, and how to raise money to cover a deficit in operations last year, a new slate of officers were elected by acclamation. These are as follows: President--Barry Howey 1st Vice-President--Don Carnegie 2nd Vice President--Norm Powell 3rd Vice-President--Maurice Jeffery. Director of Minor Sports-- (Uncle) Joe Fowler. Secretary-Treasurer--J. D, Christie, As the committe is pretty well known except 2nd Vice-President Norm Powell, a word about Norm. Norm is a former resident of Port Perry, attending High School here some twenty years ago. In these last few years, being a resident of Tor- onto he has been connected with the Toronto Hockey League, especially the "Little T.H.L. With his exper- fence' along this line Norm will be very helpful to our hockey in Port Perry and he has already brought forth some good suggestions, At the conclusion of the meeting it had been decided to enter a Midget and Bantam team in O.M.H.A, com: petition and of course carry on with the house league as usual as well as working with an all star Pee Wee team for tournament competition. The Club feels that this year these boys. should provide some good hockey in each of their age groups and asks that the people of the community come out and support them better than has been the practice in the past, By doing -this it gives the Club a sense of pride in" the good work they are doing, especially those working closest to the boys; and it gives the boys a will to work harder and play better hockey. At a later meeting with the Rink Board the Club was able to arrange for ice time, at a very reasonable fee, for our O.M.H.A., entries... The house league will again operate on 'Satur- days, the times yet to be designated. So that no time will be wasted when the ice is put in the rink we are asking all boys interested in playing hockey to meet at the rink on Saturday, Oct. 20, 19566 at 2 p.m. Joe wishes to organize the age groups and teams for house league play. The age limit is from 8 years old on August 1st, 1956 to 16 years old on or after August 1st, 1956. Birth certificates are necessary to register, and registration closes on Saturday October 27th, 1956. Hope to see a large gathering of boys at the rink next Saturday after- noon. Do not forget to procure a birth certificate if you have not got one. These can be used at various times and places throughout your life. << < on Friday as announced.
