MINOR HOCKEY' The Minor Hockey Association of aur town lias been working liard since early summer ta give our boys anothier winter of hockey.

Wliether it is Hauise League or All-Star, Minior, Mite or Junior "B", it takes many hours of work by thiese volunteers. Trhese men who coach, maniage or train these, teams are dedicated ta the job, sanie have noa sons involved ini minaor hockey, and sonîîe have sans aid enough ta hielp coach, but they stili corne out. Sonîîe people feel Ihat onîce tlîey have h)aid thieir mioîey for minar hockey registration, that this is where parental involvement ends. This is not truce. The men and boys af minor hockey can always Lise lIelp i i le dressing ron ta tigliten skates anîd sa an.
