Sam Adams was also a mem- ber of this committee for a short time but being busy in secretarial affairs, he resigned his office and was replaced 'c" Ricco. _ He is even contemplating hir- ing a stenographer to help him along in his notes-or is it his spelling? THE ITALIAN VANGUARD The tea which was held last Friday afternoon at "Myrtle Villa", James Franeesehini's palatial home, in honour of H. E. Parini was one grand suc- cess. Scandiffio, Adams and Barone represented our Club at the affair, Gen. Parini had a good heart to heart talk with the boys and during the huddle Henry's face grew red. We do not know what was wrong with him, but can guess that Minister Parini was probably letting slip some past incident in Henry's camp life. You remember Corsini and Galasso, the two Hamilton yo- uths. They were at the tea and joined the three locals in a bow- ling fray. It appears that Ga- lasso is thinning out but his friend Corsini is making up for his lost weight. At any rate they still remem- ber their travelling companions and extend to them their kind- est wishes. Thanks, E 1m o! Thanks, Art!

Prizes will be distributed. Many members were present last Friday to welcome H. Jil. Parini on his official visit to our club-rooms. General Parini enrolled as honorary member of the Cireo- lo Colombo, an honour indeed, from one of Italy's most illus- trious sons. He was accompa- nied by Comm. Luigi Petrucci, Consul General, his Secretary Chev. Montanari, and Vice Con- sul Chev. Ambrosi together with many luminaries of our Colony. The Circolo Colombo was well represented at the reception in honour of Minister Parini at the home of James Franeesehi- ni. Jos. Piccininni, Rocco Polite and W. Sansone were present. The Fratellanza of the Uni- versity of Toronto held a din- ner dance at the Embassy Club. Approximately twenty couples attended and a most enjoyable evening was. had by all. Inciden- tally the major part of the members belong to the Club. Andy, our caretaker, was the recipient of a much' belated Xmas present from one of our most popular young members who for reasons of his own wishes to remain incognito. Andy wishes to express sincere thanks and appreciation. With the addition of Tommy Mallon, the Eatons bowling team have made rapid strides in our house league and seem to be going places. Our first Bridge and Scopa party of the season was a real success. Many devotees of these favourite pastimes were pre- sent. Jos. Battaglia and Maggie Altavista and A.Teolis were the prize-winners for the men; Mrs. Perugini and Mrs. R. Grossi were best for the ladies. The committee of N. Perugi- ni, Joe Garbarino, W. Sansone and R. Polito, deserve great credit for the success of the party under existing circum, stances. CLUB NOTES TRESETTE PARTY BOLLdii'yrTlN(C) George F. Sansone, R.O., Editor DEL The Cireolo Colombo Hockey Club are now on the home stretch towards an intermedi- ate city title having thoroughly trounced the Sioux H o e k e y Club in the first game of the group play-offs. The Circolo have set up a most enviable re- cord this season, having won all their starts, five wins and one tie. , Getting back to last Wednes- day's game at Willowdale Are- na the Cireolo Colombo boys took the Sioux aggregation for a grand ride, defeating them to the tune of 7 to 2. The first period opened up very fast with the Cireolo netting three goals in less than three minutes. Bernardo opened the scor- ing on a beautiful solo play and was followed by scores by Spal- la and Scandiffio. Apparently the shifting of lines seemed to work wonders for the team. The game turned into a scoring bee for the Club boys with Spalla and Dossey scoring in the dying moments of the first period. - . , "iii/ds" second session proved fast and furious with the Sioux team pressing, to getjnto the scoring column. However, Chrysdale rose to great heights, holding the opposition at bay. During this period Gismondi acquitted himself in a stellar manner and his bullet-like shots had the Sioux goalie worried. Dossey and King were regular back checking fiends and the work of Fraterolli on the defen- se was a treat to watch. In the third and final period the Sioux came to life and scor- ed their first goal on a rather lucky shot on which Chrysdale had no, chance. However, the Circolo had things pretty well in hand. The scoring of this goal put the Circolo on the of- fensive again and Lou Spalla scored his third goal on a pass from Scandiffio. The second Sioux goal was scored by Frat- teroli, our lefty defense man, the puck caroming off Dossey's skate past the goal-mouth. Dur- ing a scramble in front of the net, the final counter of the 'evening was scored by Bernar- |do, King getting the assist. Although the evening was rather cold, a good number of Cireolo supporters were on hand to cheer the team on to an overwhelming victory over the Sioux. However, there is room for more rooters on our rooters' 'Iclub, especially the young ladies :who have been conspicuous by their absence. . dome on, girls, get organized and come to cheer the boys on . H. C lMPRESSlVE to victory and possibly to a city intermediate championship. The line-up for the game: Chrysdale, goal; defense, Frat- teroli, Spalla; centre, Bernardo; wings, Seandiffi6 and King; subs. Gismondi, Dossey, Town- send and Zona.

There was very little change in the standing during the we- ek's bowling, but the Eaton Te- am, led by Tommy Manon, con- tinued their march towards the play-off position. Their victims this week were the disorganized Spows, who seem to be running into tough luck. The aforemen- tioned Mallon knocked off high three for the year with 876. There were two 300 games in this total. Corin of the same team had a nice single of 257. Nick Perugini of the Spow Team has found himself and with 252 and 262 had a nice to- tal for the night. His efforts, however, were futile, and they only obtained one point. _ Columbus Coal kept up the hot pace of the last few weeks, by taking three points from Co- lumbia. Turnbridge, with 790, which also included two 300 ga- mes, led his team in an easy victory. Pieeininni of Columbia had a nice single game of 343 'to lead his team, but the other members were hopelessly out- classed. In the third game of the week the Five Pellettieri took four points by default Wrorn the Hookers. In rolling 'for their averages A.
