In our view there is only one stand, and that is the positive one. We even had radio and night club critics supporting bouncing Bruce and his caustic comments. Tongueâ€"inâ€"cheek nastiness has no place in such a fine and worthy event.

Kidd‘s talk was immature. naintlese and in L.s There has been so much said and so much omitted about the Bruce Kidd incident at the Sports Celebrities Dinner last Wednesday night that I feel something mult‘be said in this corner to invite comment. Ken Avarell has done more for this town of Wesâ€" ton in the way of hockey promotion than any other stalwart citizen since I (and probably you) were young sprouts. He always has some ideas brewing that will without doubt create interest in sports circles while benefiting both sides of the fence. cent. _ What better ‘proof can anyone have that Avarell and his Dodgers are behind this town one hundred perâ€" is very blue because he has no little boy or girl to ride him . . .. Sure he is! Anyhoo, any of you cruel parents who do not take your offspring to the free raffle of "Dodger" tomorrow night (me included â€" if I don‘t take my 9â€"yearâ€"old gal I have the distinct feeling that I will be an outcast in the Gouett Household) will surely not be playing the game of chance that fate has lined up for some lucy??? breadwinner. So come out and take your chance . ... and I hope you win this five month old hayâ€"burner. Just reâ€" member this‘! How much would vyou have wanted a pony when you were a kid? GENTLE TRIBUTE While it is quite all right for us to poke fun at Mr. Avarell, I would like to pass along this unsolicited word in his behalf. Meanwhile, we can only pass along the comments of Minor Hockey Association president Walt Hall. "Our Minor Hockey Day was enhanced by the presâ€" ence of Dodger manager Ken Avarell, who gave out free hockey sticks to each Most Valuable Player in everyone, of our eight Leagues. The sticks were presenâ€" ted to the small fry by leading players of the Dodger organization. FINAL WORD There is so much more to say about this devoted man, and perhaps someday we will be able to devote the space which he deserves. Don‘t look now, but canny Kenneth is at it again. This time with a pony, no less. He has even picked a name for the pony. The pony‘s name is "Dodger" Colour Dodger blue. Dodger We have often swung our column towards the frantic anticts of one Mr. Ken Avarell who seems preâ€" pared to go to any length to get the local folk out to see his dashing Dodgers in action each and every Friâ€" day night. The jovial Mr. Hall was quite generous with his boquets to the people who made it all possible. May we offer our humble thanks, Walt, for your praise of our small part in supporting such a worthy cause as the advancement of minor sport in the community, but may we also draw the attention of our readers to the people who made last week‘s Minor Hockey page possâ€" ible, and to those organizations who finally received some credit for the financial support donated to make your league a reality. + THAT MAN AGAIN You couldn‘t find a man in Weston with a wider amile than Walter Hall last Saturday. The reason was quite obviqus. Walt is president of the Weston Minor Hockey League and he had just witâ€" nessed one of the most successful Minor Hockey Week productions ever held at Weston Recreation Arena.

Sparky Anderson set the stage for the first goal of the game by passing out front to Don Couâ€" sineau. Don was uncovered and made no mistake. Fred Stephens blocked a pass in the centre zone and passed the puck on to Jim Bannantyne who notched the second Weston goal. Both Juniors and Seniors have played one game and haven‘t been proven wrong.
