NEE AS & 3 ST a oo PE VNARNE a AEN Go SE SS FITS SR ee BR VR { 16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Thurs, January 22, 1970 q PORT PERRY * STAR Spurs Reeve Urges Support Of Minor Hockey Week Reeve "Robert Kenny is again calling upon all citi- zens to support Minor Hockey Week in Canada, which starts Saturday, January 24th. In announcing his support of young Canada's most im- portant week, His Worship suggested that the local citi- zenry would "do well to 'keep in step with Canada' by at- tending minor hockey games this week". "It is our duty, and I share it with every citizen" he said, "to show our apprecia- tion of the efforts of those who make participation in Canada's National Sport pos- sible for our -youngsters. Minor Hockey Week is Can- ada's most successful ama- teur sports promotion, and it is our duty to see that the local observance is equal to that of any in Canada". The Reeve pointed out that we have a minor hockey pro- gram operating here that does not need to take a back seat to any in the country, but, he said "it needs our support". "The best way to support -the-program is by-buying-a ticket. . That starts a chain of events that really suports the local project. First the money helps finance the pro- gram. Then the ticket in- duces us to attend, and our presence encourages the youngsters and those whose efforts are necessary to the success of the local league." He urged, however, that our support should not stop at encouragement. The Reeve went on to say that "we must pay public tribute to the men and ladies, who spend -so many hours organizing and operating the many leagues and games for our young- sters, The Reeve concluded by saying "Because participation in Canada's National Sport provide healthy exercise that will improve the body, discipline that will train the mind, teach co-operation, team-play and a respect for rules, the boys are sure to benefit. When the boys bene- and because the community benefits, the community must contribute. We do this best by supporting Minor Hockey Week.
