That was where Tory Gregg came to the rescue and through his connections with the manager of the Owen Sound arena, the teams played off there with no charge for the ice time. What a relief when that was over. 4 .The league in the beginning opened up a place for the young player to start and the men. of that day realized this and really . backed the league. That is when rinks started to go up with ice plants in them, and today there are not more than three or four with natural ice. "In hockey some of the boys -went on to greatness, such as Paul..Henderson, Gary Doak, Larry Jeffery, Doug Brindley, 'Don Liesemer and out of our minor system now there is Bill Brown of Wingham, Whitby of Lucknow, Gloor of Mitchell, Gateman of Southampton, Jack Chipchase of Hensall and there could be more.

George Zuk later, }became a race horse trainer and driver, and to my mind a wonderful athlete in almost all sports and a credit to any assoc- good for the future. There are now 49's teams playing in the territory allotted to us by the Ontario Baseball Association. "I, as secretary-manager of the association for so many years, would like at this time to thank all the managers and coach- es in all the sports in the league for the co-operation that they have given me and all executive members, and there have been many, for all their help, because they have a busy time attending so many meetings in summer and winter sport." Roses need ' protection For strong spring growth,. roses require winter protection. The type and amount of protec- tion varies in Ontario, says D. B. McNeill, horticultural spec- ialist, Ontario Ministry of Ag- riculture and Food. In the milder areas, roses will winter with very little protection. In the colder areas, however, protection is a necessity for survival. The most common method is to mound dry soil around the base of the bushes to a height of 6 to 8 inches. When the soil is frozen, a light layer of straw or strawy manure can be placed over the plants. Ever- green boughs placed on the top of the straw will hold it in place and trap snow to provide even further protection. When using straw or strawy manure to pro- tect your roses, apply it only after the ground is frozen. This will prevent mice from burrow- ing into the soil and, possibly damaging the bushes. Roses grown further 'north in Ontario may be dug up and buried in a well-drained loca- tion. In this way, the soil keeps the canes in 'good condition un- till you are ready to plant in the spring. Climbing roses are more difficult to protect. The canes should be tied together and bent to -the ground without splitting 9r breaking. Cover them with soil if possible. John R.

(By Jack Frost\ 4400 Miles out of San Francisco bound for Hong Kong on an absolutely beautiful day. We left Toronto October '12 on the C.N.R. Transcontinental train. Right here I would say that is the way, to go. The equipment was good, the service and the meals excellent. When you book a sleeper all meals are included and if you leave on a low fare day the cost is un- believably low. There was a group of 52 Senior Citizens on board return- ing from across Canada tour and they put a lot of life and fun into things. It was pleasant also to get off the train at the spots where there were extended stops. Had a quick look at downtown Edmonton this way since the beautiful new station is virtually in the centre of the city. Arriving in Vancouver we were met by friends from West Vancouver and the ride there was a scenic' tour across ‘kon's Gate bridge. We took a'walk before dinner along the' shore of English Bay, a truly fine area of the city in which to live. The next day we took a tour of the city -which has one of the most beautiful locations possible. Some of -elle notealie things were of course Stanley Park; The Jap- anese Gardens, the Planetarium, the first C.P.R, engine to travel East to West, and of course all the beautiful homes and gardens. Many of the flowers and trees were new to me and I was par- ticularly interested in the lovely lace maples. Japanese maples of course grow in profusion and add colour and interest wherever they are. At night we walked down to Chinatown and had an excellent dinner. I've become expert with chop sticks but Dorothy sticks to traditional tableware. Next morning we took the ferry to Victoria. It was foggy on the way over but bright and sunny on arrival. It s the opening of parliame so ere was a lot of excitement in he city. We stayed at The Sham- rock Court - a nice quiet apart- ment motel just two blocks from The Empress Hotel and within nice „walking distance of downtown. We were just two blocks from the 'Parliament build- ings which are ver.,y beautiful and which are outlined with lights at night to create, from a dis- tance, an almost fairyland scene. r -------------; MATERNITY WEAR at the SEPARATE SHOPPE Main Corner — Clinton OPEN 2.6 CLOSED WEDS. tOok.a waking tour of a restored area in Sanson Street, Pacific Avenue and Jackson.

We then went on to Pacific Gateway Center down near the Battery, This is the most imaginative and architecturally sound development I have seen. It combines parks, stores, town houses, apartments and„,,offiet buildings into an efficient very attractive ensemble. One of its outstanding features is its use of multiple levels for pedestrian traffiC.

Two marvelous Chinese stewards look after and anticipate our ever* need. The meals are excellent and the captain joins us for breakfast and dinner. Don't ever come if you want to diet, unless you have a cast iron will. The sea has been like a mill pond ever since we sailed out' under the beautiful Golden Gate. Bridge. No wonder they called it the Pacific. It is also a gorgeous navy blue. We have seen very few ships. We did see a large school of bonito one day and every morning we see schools of flying fish.

Saturday morning we took Amtrak, which is the U. S. pas- senger—train service to Seattle wtare we changed to our sleeper for San Francisco. The trip down the coast was very interest- ing as we passed through the timber processing areas with the mills, the log, booms and all the related activity. We also saw a considerable number of seals along the shore. Again. Amtrak' service, meals and'equipment were outstanding, the train was well patronized. To me this only proves that if you make the trains attractive, people will use them. We arrived in San Francis- co about 9 a.m. from Oakland where you leave the train and take a bus. Our hotel, the Oxford, was well located, com- fortable and reasonable. Rested for. an hour and then took the cable car up to Nob Hill and attended service at the beauti- ful Grace Episcopal Cathedral. We then had, brunch in the Vienna Coffee Shoppe • of the famous Mark Hopkins Hotel. Their prices would-congeal your blood. Next we picked up a bus tour of the city from the nearby Fremont Hotel. San Francisco is a county and a city. It is built on 48 hills, is tremendously wealthy, beautiful and spec- tacular. The view from the hills, across the city and out over the sea , is unforgetabie. You will be pleased to know that the infamous Alcatraz prison' island' is to be made into a park. After returning to our hotel for a rest we again took the Cable car, these are old fashioned cars that are drawn up_ the steep hills of the city by cables under the street. When one comes down to the terminal We visited the very ONc011ent museum which, has near it, the Carrilon, a Centennial gift of the Dutch Community. We went by the Empress Hotel which sits likes. dowager duchess near the parliament buildings. A walking tour. took us to Bastion Square, an area. of craft shops and old buildings that have been tastefully restored. Also to Trounce Alley, a mallf of very fine boutiques. Thence through the downtown area and back to our motel. The next day our former minister in St. Thomas, who is now at First Church in Victoria, picked us up and took us home for lunch. In the afternoon we had a long drive up the shore road to Point No Point where we walked down the cliffs to the sea through paths laid out through wild rose and another bush I think is called Salal. It looks like a sea laurel to me. An interesting thing I had never seen before was a type of sea weed that from a distance looked exactly like_ coils of rope about - an inch or more in diameter. Also, as is true of the whole B.C. shoreline, it was littered with logs. After our walk we had high tea in the little inn at the top of the path overlooking the sea. A very pleasant day. The follow- ing day a friend we had met last year on the Empress of Canada picked us up and took us to Butchert Gardens. Even tho a n early frost had nipped some things, this had to be the most beautiful garden or rather gardens I have ever see n in all my travels. The sunken garden and the Japanese Garden are especially beautiful. It was "also the first time I had seen an Arbutus tree.
