But let's take advant- Minor Hockey Week in Port Perry starts Saturday, and minor hockey en- thusiasts all across Canada and the United States will be drawing attention to what minor hockey can do, and does, for boys. Here in this area minor hockey is an important part of winter life for hun- dreds of boys and the arenas of the dis- trict are kept busy with young players being guided and taught by men and youths who give of their time because they have a love for hockey and for working with boys. Their work is no "soft touch". There is a lot to do, and a lot to be done, and rarely, if ever, are there enough volun- teers to fill all the management, coach- ing, time-keeping and refereeng posi- tions there are to be filled if all the boys who want to play are to be accom- modated. « Minor hockey costs money, too. There ~ is ice time to be paid for, sweaters and equipment to be supplied, as well as all "the little expenses that add up to such - a large total. Service clubs and spon- sors help out, but much is left for par- ents, and much is left for the volun- teers to get out and raise as best they can. For this too, they deserve our support and commendation. This is the week, "Minor Hockey Week" when we. salute them. It would be discriminatory for us to mention individuals and we leave that to the proper authorities. Suffice for us to say that the Canadian Amaeur Hockey Association makes available "Plaques" and "Scrolls of Merit" so that - each community may pay tribute to its = outstanding officials. Only five plaques are issued to each province in a year, but the C.A.H.A.'s minor hockey com- mittee will provide an attractive scroll to any community that wishes to recog- nize one of its volunteer workers. While we are mentioning the Cana- dian Amateur Hockey Association let us say a word about their work on be- half of hockey in Canada. It seems "that they are often placed in the posi- tion of making unpopular decisions but - . we must admit that those who so read- ily criticize do not always have all the information. In any event the C.A.H. A's efforts on behalf of minor hockey VIAR] EDITORIAL PAGE Ninh Your Arena Next Week "HA. AL PAC associations) and energetic local groups. We are fortunate to have these, too. But most of all, it takes boys. Boys are the life blood of the game, as they are of the nation, and we are pleased that through the efforts of the various organizations about 250,000 Canadian boys pay properly supervised, well or- ganized hockey, Truly, hockey is Can- ada's national sport and more boys take part in. this healthful, rousing activity than in any other game. So we suggest that each Zone of us take time to visit the arena during Min- or Hockey Week. By doing so we will be paying our tribute to the men (and ladies) who make. it all possible. While we're at it, let's hope that minor hockey continues to flourish and exemt its in- fluence for good on more and more lo- cal youngsters. Maybe, one of these ~ years, one or more of our own young- sters, graduates of our minor hockey set-up, may be given the opportunity to represent, not only this community, but Canada, by winning a place on the C.A. ~ sponsored "Canadian -- National Team. : Important Facts CANADA PENSION PLAN The first benefits of the Canada Pen- sion Plan retirement pension will be paid in January to contributors who are 68 or over and retired and to contribu- tors 70 or over whether retired or not.
