In less than three weeks the fourth annual Red Feather Tour- nament of Champions will be his- tory and there'll be another win- ner of the Ted Reeve Trophy, em- blematic of the Ontario Secondary S c h o o l s football championship. Basically, the objectives of Red Feather Football are three-fold: (1), To raise as large amount of cash as possible for the Commun- ity Chests of Greater Toronto and other centres in Ontario and to make secondary school students conscious of their responsibilities through the years to their Com- munity Chest via the medium of one of their major entertainment interests-football; (2), To deter- mine during the regular season the winner of the Ted Reeve Trophy; (3), To create good-will and better understanding between the Secon- dary School students from all sec- tions of the province.

In the early days, he and his brother Alex were up in the Timmina country, before it was open, driving dog teams over the many lakes. It was said that Andrew would face the snow and blizzards with a certainty of mak- ing his camp. . During its first three years, Red Feather Football has grown into one of the greatest sports spec- tacles in Canada and has raised $30,011.65 for the Community Chests: $7,294.98 in 1949; $8,910.90 in 1950 and $13,805.77 last year. This year the objective of Red Feather Football is $15,000, to try and help meet the essential and greater needs of the Community Chests, for instance in Greater To- ronto the objective has been in- creased to $3,125,000.

The deputy reove and the reeve, Mr. Jack Petrie, represent Weston on the York County Council and the council has done much to improve the land. Five years ago, a young ener. getic Englishman who had just returned to his native land after having served in Berlin, Germany, with the British European Air- ways, dvcided that he was not en- tirely in accord with the social- istic tendancies of the government of that period, and therefore de, termined that he would pull up stakes and migrate to a young up-and-coming natio'n that allow- Pd a generous hand in free enter- prise.
