As usual they have been entered in the OHA hut at this time do not know what teams they will be competing a- gainst. Last year's group con- slsted of Centralia RCAF Flyers, Clinton RCAF, Clinton Colts, Mit- chell, Milverton and New Ham- burg; and of these teams New Hamburg has entered in the Sen- ior "B" series, Clinton. RCAF have dropped out of the league for this year, Mitchell and Centralia, as far as is known locally, are un- decided about entering teams. This leaves Clinton and Milverton the only teams that .have definitely fforwarded their entry fee to the O. If only two teams are left in this area Clinton hockey fans may see a few new clubs on Clinton ice. It hardly seems possible in this writ- er's opinion that the OHA would leave Clinton and Milverton in a grouping b,' themselves as it would be very uninteresting to the fans and a financial failure from the teams' standpoint. There are several new faces trying out for the local team un- der the watchful eyes of Bun Smith, the new playing coach of the team, Bun comes to Clinton from New Liskeard, where he has been quite successful as playing coach in that town. He has a wealth of hockey knowledge and with most of last year's squad on hand plus some added strength it is expected that he will have a very successful season in his first year at the helm of the Colts. Judging from his. first practice, which we expect was just mild, this edition of the Colts will be in the best condition of any Clinton team since the year they went to the Ontario sewn -finals.

O Teen Town Talk (By Mac Taylor) Last Friday night came and went, and when the hail was clear- ed. one could see that Teen Town had been a big success again.

Bob Parker also was credited with having the Iongest beard, and Kenneth Keys placed second, The hardest dressed lady and "gent" were Claire Taylor and Bob Fines.

Greenway Has McKee Trophy The McKee Trans -Canada Tro- phy was presented by Defence Minister Brooke Claxton to Squad- ron Leader Keith B. Greenway at an air industries and transport association banquet in Ottawa on October 27. S/L Greenway, 37, Woodville, won the trophy for his outstanding contributions to aerial navigation during 1952. He is the inventor of the Arctic Twilight Computer' in use by the RCAF and RAF, as well as author of "Arctic Air Na- vigation", used by the RCAF as a text and by both the RAF and USAF as a reference manual. The McKee Trophy is presented annually for meritorious service in the advancement of Canadian av- iation. Selection of each winner is made on the basis of his con- tributions to Canadian aviation during the year concerned, with emphasis placed on performance throughout the year rather than on a single brilliant emploit. The trophy was donated by the late Dalzell McKee of Pittsburg, a wealthy aviation enthusiast who made the first trans -Canada flight by seaplane, in 1926. He establish- ed the trophy in recognition of the welcome and assistance given him by the RCAF during his flight. The citation points out that S/L Greenway's work in the Arctic area has overcome many prob- lems and made possible a more rapid development of military and civil flying in the north. S/L Greenway also was honored in 1952 by being named winner of the Thurlow award, This award is given annually by the United States Institute of Navigation to the person having made the out- standing scientific and practical contribution to navigation during' the current year. S/L Greenway is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Greenway, Wood- ville. He is married to the former Hazel Bradford, Montreal, and they have two children, Brenda, 7, and Linda, 2. They now live at 557 Cole Street, Ottawa. 0 In 1867 there were 2,087 miles of railway in Canada; today there are 44,084 miles and only Soviet Russia and the United States have a greater, total mileage of track. 0 Canada's prairie provinces are part of a plain that reaches from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean.
