By BILL UPTON After completely overwhelming Woodbridge 11-0 last Thursday night, the Dodgers came back to Weston only to get sealped by the Etobicoke Indians to the tune of fi-2. It seems lately that the Dodg- ers just ean't put two good games together. Gary Ford, who has been the team leader and inspiration, led the Dodgers at Woodbridge with a seven~pointeffort made up of three goals and four assists. Dave Roy got two goals and singles went to Noble, Ferguson, McDon- ald, Rick, Parham and Terry Draycott. The Rangers tried time and time again to break through Bri- mn Cropper in goal for the Dodg- ers, but he turned them back 29 shots in all to post his second shutout of the 'season. The game Was a real clean affair with ref- eree Ego handing out just four minor penalties, three to Weston and one to the Rangers. The game on Friday could have given the Dodgers a four- point lead, but they blew their chances as the Indians came for seatps and by the two-minute. mark of the first period had a two-goal lead on goals by Jacobs and Powers. These goals stood up giving the Indians a 2-0 first-per- iod lead. The Indians again struck fast for two quick goals in the second period an goals by Trevelyan and Saville for a 4-0 lead. Dave Par- ham spoiled Cole's shutout just before the period ended. With just two minutes gone in the sec- ond period Cary Ford took a nice pass from Steve McDonald and beat Cole to make the score 4-2, but again two fast goals, both by Powers, gave the Indians a 6-2 lead and the game. Dodgers Lace Woodhridge But ht The Indians The work of Grant Cole in the nets for the Indians was out- standing and so was their de- fence. The Dodgers had some good Gimmes too. Parham hit the post twice, Ford once and Ano Gunman hit the eross-bar. But as always, they count for the goal keeper. Don Thompson and Grant Cole for the India-us and Steve Me. Donald for the Dodgers were the three stars of the game as pick. ed by Art Snarr, Asst. Mgr. of the Dodgers and AI Hillman Metro Jr. "B" Statistician. This week after Fridays game, the Members of Weston Collegi- ate's senior hockey team are a bit pessimistic about repeating their league championship of last year after dropping their two exhibi- tion games. Northern Vocational took a " decision and St. Mike's edged them 5-3 in preseason eontests, Captain Ron Porter and assist- ants Butch Fender and Jim Erm brey feel sure, however, that they will make the playoffs. The boys predict that Leaside will come out on top, with York sec- ond and Weston third, with East York. U.T.S., Mimico, George Harvey and Runnymede coming IN THE DRESSING ROOM AND OTHERS .

TO HELP NEEDY FAMILIES Once again the students of Weston Collegiate will help to capture the spirit of Christmas by making up Christmas baskets for needy families in the Westc area. Each form will collect food which will be displayed in the foyer of the school, The Weston Lions' Club provides a turkey for "each basket. Sandy Dalrymple, campaign chairman of the stu- dent council, will head the drive. The commercial department students of Grade 12 also under- take the task of repairing and wrapping used toys which have been contributed by the students. Two or three of the toys usually go in each basket and the rest go to the children of the Thistle- town Hospital and the Weston Sanitarium. Weston students last week re- ceived a letter from W. A. Me. DESPITE INDIAN GOAL TENDER Grant Cole’s completely defenseless posi- tion, Dodger's George Morrison failed to capitalize and put the puck in an open net. The Weston club had no trouble in Thursday's game defeating Woodbridge 11-0, but Friday the Etobicoke Indians won 6-2. ttO 6-1771 General & Life Insurance 1166 WESTON ROAD YORK TRAVEL BUREAU "A FINE EXAMPLE" FOR ALL TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS TO ANYWHERE We Kids Would Hookeijdgs Jo School WM.

The girls of W.C.I. who are in- terested in playing or officiating basketball will have to learn a new set of rules. Girls’ basketball rules will now be the same as those for the boys.

NEW RULES FOR GIRLS GORD RISK 247-1862 What gets parents out by the hundreds in pouring rain on a midweek evening? Well, cancel oat committee meetings, associ- ation meetings, po1itieal meetings and church meetings for a start . . . which leaves last week's Musk Night at Beverley Heights Junior High School to take un- disputed top honors as. the crowd Pleaser. Commendably starting punctu- ally at 8 p.1n., a parent-packed auditorium cheered and applaud- ed a festival of music by the Junior String Orchestra, Junior Band, Gr. 7 Choir and Treble Choir. Following an intermission more advanced accomplishments were performed by the Senior String Orchestra and Senior Band-the latter played a rag- time "School Room Blooz" for a delightful grande finale. Surprise show stealer was Mr. F. Mihay's Gr. 9 Boys' Choir. Coached, directed and introduced by their math teacher, these hale in heartrthroated lads vigorous- ly sang their way through a fam- iliar salty sea chantey and a se- lection of equally familiar sing- along tunes from a bygone era. Their all~too-short on-stage ap- pearance returned with a swing- ing "Jingle Bell Rock" and the sehotyl's song "Bev-er-leg Heights . . .”, Joined in the final "rah 1ah's" by the assembled senior music students. This effectual blending of voices received such enthusiastic whistles, cheers and loud acclaim, it practically brought the house down. Congratulations and unanimous praise overwhelmingly endorsed, If someone were to ask you at what period history began and when it ends, what answer would you give? Many people date their knowledge of history in terms of B.C.; A.D.; 1066 (the Magna Charm seal at Runnymede); or 1867. Just to cram facts and dates for regurgitation at examination time can make history not only dull, but a rather gruesome or- deal' to be endured until after school graduation. To begin with, did you say something sarcastic to someone this morning, or even five min- utes ago? That is now history. Let us take another view of history and see if it is really "alive", vital and interesting. Did you rclose; the deal on your new home this afternoon? That is now history. I know a teacher who asks his pupils to examine their desks which are made of plywood in most cases. Nevertheless, these plywood desks were once giant trees, timber topped, floated to the mill and "shaved" to obtain the ply- wood. Do you realize your desk was once a mighty tree, budding, leafing and standing year after year, in fact, many generations, against winter's blasts and sum- mer's wet spells and droughts, while perchance an ancestor of our Indian citizens set a trap- line beneath it? Who knows how many pug marks of bears had been clawed in'to its bark? A couple of years ago, we ob- tained a cross-section of a sugar maple tree trunk from a farmer near Windsor. He was primarily interested in a winter woodpile. After much sanding and polishing, we were able to clearly count 77 annual Sound of Music lraws Mud; “Living 'lfllistory By ARMOUR "SC00T" IRWIN by all those present, the fine achievements of the music de- partment at Beverley Heights: Mr. C.

Let's not forget the mathema- tie department plus music-Mr. Mihay's song successful way of finishiag up a problem new math period was proof positive. Overheard: Beverley Heights has the best music department in North York! After last week's performance a challenge hard to beat, PUDD'NHEAD SAYS: "What it takes to make a house look lived in is Sunday." WINTER ADVENTURES The Northwestern Family "Y" has a fun-packed Christmas hold- day program lined up for boys and girls 8 to 14 years on Dee. 27, 28, 29 and 30 from 9 mm. till 4:30 p.m. Activities during the four days will include all sorts of things from an air cruise to g hayride and many other exciting events. Applications for enrolment in the Family "Y's" Winter Adven- rings. In this way we can pin- point part of Queen Vietoria's reign, the first World War, the Wright Brothers with their first plane, right to Yuri Gagarin's first space trip. All these events took place while this tree was giving sap in the spring and shade in the sum- mer. My father talked to my great- aunt when she was well on in her eighties, who described her grandfather and grandmother who also were in their eighties when she was a little girl. They told her about the toys and games they had when they were young. Add these two ages together and you will readily see that my father was able to cover a span of history over 150 years. Do a little arithmetic and you will realize that Jesus walked this earth just about fifty grand- fathers ago. History is certainly not dead, but very much alive. As I look around it grows more exciting every day.

A DOG'S DAY l If you are planning an addition to family for Christmas there are plenty of healthy puppies and kittens for gift-giving available at the Toronto Humane Society. These little pets are examined daily by a staff veterinarian, Dr. J. G. McGreevy, M.R.C.V.S. The s o e i e t y , s general manager, George Hulme recommends that you adopt the animal into your home before the holiday excite- ment gets into high gear so it will have a chance to settle down under normal conditions. Christmas party proeeedings at) the Animal Shelter took place yesterday complete with turkeyl --35 pounds of hamburger with eggs and crackers moulded into a turkey shape, carved in tradi- tim1al style no less!

The only trouble is, if we allow money grubbing spec- ulators to tie up all the land along subway routes, the 19th Century Century barns I spoke of a minute ago, will remain on Yonge St. for another 10, 20 or 50 years and the great Metropolitan Toronto, Metro chairman William Allen so forcefully speaks of, will decay in the centre, while the legitimate builders erect their complexes 1n the suburbs, north of Finch and Steeles Avenues where land can still be purchased at economic prices.
