Local Boy Scouts R High Awards Our father and son banquet was a splendid success in spite of our o- torious winter weather, The ladies encountered some difficulty in getting food to the hall on time as transpor- tation was difficult. We received in- dividual requests front some of the ladies to hold the banquet in April thus. reducing the annual problems of transportation and the, parking haz- ard which is so much worse in the season of heavy snows. : There are a number of péople we would like to invite to our banquets we are limited by the-space-and 'service available, 2 We took great pleasure in seeing.

Roofs Have Been Inspected In view of the number of roofs which have collapsed under the weight of snow this winter the committee in charge of the Me- morial Gardens arena in Port Perry have given the structure a thorough examination and say that the building is in fine con- dition. The roof is so shaped that the snow slides off quite easily and at present is almost entirely free of the accumulation seen on other types of roof. Other places as well as the- arena have been given an inspec- tion. Members of the local Fire Brigade who have been in the habit of inspecting business pla- ces for fire hazards have also giv- en their attention to the roofs and where the pile of snow has appeared to be excessive have warned owners of the danger. Puck Passers Checking over the turnout of play- ers for the past fourteen weeks has been most satisfactory. This cannot be said of the parents of these same boys. In the same breath we will in- clude the Bantams, Midgets and Ju- veniles. Of course every one loves a winner but it is pretty hard to put a lot of work into such a project as taking care of over 150 boys and finding that the sum total of about 20 to 26 parents do show a real in- terest and do most of the work to see that their boy gets from Port Perry to where ever the team is playing. No doubt over the past five years a lot of good hockey talent is moving up through the minor setup, but it is of no avail if we do not get the local support as well as the financial. This has been a good year with lots of gameés but not enough of parents. The big question is minor hockey in Port Perry to die BECAUSE OF YOU? This sentence from the O.M.H.A. "DON'T SEND, TAKE YOUR BOY TO THE ARENA" and we add to it "AND STAY" does not mean much to some. So after this message we hope you will understand our position.

Roof Collapses Under Snow The roof or the coal sheds at the Port Perry Fuel's Coal yard suddenly collapsed under the weight of the snow. Although precautions were taken to put extra braces under the roof, the supports suddenly gave way on Friday afternoon. Fortunately no one was working in the shed at the time. However, there quite a mess which re- quired four men working all day Sat- urday to clear away. Plans are made to replace the struc- ture as soon as the weather permits. Geo. Long Wins Men's Badminton Title The Oshawa Flying Club dominat- ed play in the Central Ontario Bad- minton Championships, held in Osh- awa last week end. Oshawa swept to victory in five of the six title e- vents, in fact it was an all Oshawa final in three of the final matches. For new champions were crowned with only Doreen Reddoch and Lil Beamish, and Ralph Charlton and Grant Hendry retaining their titles. * George Long came on strong in the third game to wrest the men's singles title away from Ken Smith in an all Oshawa show. Smith broke a ten-all tie to ram home five straight pts. to win the first game, but Long bounced back to do the same thing in the sec- ond game. Long ended Smith's two- year reign as singles champ with a 15 to 8 win. George is a driver-sales- man for Silverwood Dairy Ltd. Port (Continued on Back Page) Perry. "Jeanne Pearson, Uxbridge; R.

In a real robust playoff game at the Whitby arena Monday night, the Brooklin Combines downed the Whit- by Hillcrest Dairy Jrs. 8-5. The win ties the two teams up'at three each, with the big sudden death seventh game out at Port Perry on Saturday night. The largest crowd ever to see a Jr. hockey game in Whitby was in attendance, some 1,400 of them, and they cheered at almost every turn the teams made. The Hillcrests were down 7-2 going into the final period and staged a good comeback; but were unable to match the fast, hard skat- ing Brooklin team. The game was marred by an injury to Gordie Luke of the Whitby team. He was taken to hospital with what was fearéd a slight concussion. Ted Fairey led the winners attack with a pair of goals, with single coun. ters going to Doug MacMillan, Char. lie Crandy, Neil Pascoe, Vern Fergu-, son, Arch Crossey and Danny Gray.
