THURS4r; NOVEM-B 11, 19* It &won't tie a crystal gazer to know that there is something Wrong with the hockey set-up in Ontario. For years the OH& have done 4 good job but somewhere along the line they have strayed,. and with disastrous results'. or Proof yen need only to look at the number of Intermediate- teams they now have under their wing as compared to that of A few years, ago. This division which was Ad- mitted to be the backbone of the •association for years has been so sadly disregarded that at present they are Itteky to have a half a dozen groups all told where once there were 15 in the "B" section alone, What has happened? It is our belief that the ,downfall started when the import, waiver and bon- ne clausee were read into the rule book. We admit that these rules give the boys in the City, who aren't capable to make the big teams, a chance to play BUT for every one that. goes to a small town it means onelmore local boy must sit on the sidelines. Furth- ermore the prices the city hockey players are demanding, and, get- ting, is far in excess of their alit- ity besides being too much for the meagre pocket books of the maj- ority of small town hockey exec- utives. •„ In ecittion the OHA have turned to their pets, e the Senior "A” and junior "A" and have forgotten the small town. No we don't for one moment place ourselves on a ,par in either experience or knowhow of the ev- eoutive of either the %NA or WOAA.. . but it seems to be quite obvious that a few changes would 'do wonders to 'restore the game to its proper place in the viral 'communities and bring fans (the people who pay the bills) back to 'the rink. First of all we would like to see the abolishment of all import, waived, and bonus players. . . if it young lad from the city wishes to play in i small town he can move and become a, resident there. The next point on our 'program would be to cut out much as possible the mixed team groups that have prevailed in the past.. . if a group of teams o, different cla.s.sification is a necessity. . . then it is our contention that the team with the highest classification should finish on top of theleague or be automa- tically eliminated from further play that season. , Vegt. „ . make the teams work to get into the pleyoffe..' - Instead of having all the teams in the'big series„ , If there are four teams only two should be in the group playoff. Never more than. four. 'teams should playoff,no matter how many clubs are in the •group. Lea . but not least. • , cut down - the. length of series. -Group serni,, finals should be a, best -two -out -of' three with the finarp. best -three - of -five, „ never any MOM. We knew that we are in the• minority when we mention these: changes and we rather expect that several will "say, "How crazy can YOU get?". , but remember thie„ , in the past, ten years hockey has elid further' down the ladder of popularity in. Canada than' ever be- fore, , We believe the changes we reconunend will not make sink any faster than its .preserit "rate of descent... Who knows they might start the game on the way (Contributed) Shoot first and. ask questions later! This adage may have had its place in bygone days when'the safety of the community depended on immediate and effective action against •prowler. It has no ap- plication today and especially not by hunters. Hunting is one or Canada's largest participant outdoor sports. Hundreds ofethousandg of men and women from every walk of life, enjoy healthful recreat, tion from the days afield on the annual hunt. For some of them this pastime will be spoiled by the irresponsible gun -toter who will do such things' as fire "sound shots." "Sound shots" are those fired at sounds made by some unidentified person or animal moving: in the woods. It seems incredible that anyone would be So careless or show such absolute disregard for human life as to shoot at some- thing he cannot even see, let alone recognize. Yet it happens every 'fall and, sometimes, with fatal re- sults. ' • It has been that you cannot legislate brains into anyone.But sportsinen can, by example and a word of caution to their feee -low hunters, eliminate the .few who would give this great sport an undeservedly bad name.

They obey the game laws and, most important, they practice these "Ten ,commandments of Safety.": Treat every gun with the'respect due a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your automobile; camp and home. Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstruct - lops. • Always carry your gun 'so that you can control the direction of the muzzle. Be sure of, your target before you pull the trigger. Never, point a gun at anything you don't want to shoot. Never leave your gun unatten- ded and loaded. Never climb a, tree or cross a fence with a loaded. gun. Never shoot at a flat, hard sue - 'face or at the surface of water. Don't mix gunpowder with al- cohol. If these commandments are ad-' hered too then huntingfan be safe. , RCAF.

R. McCubbin Says He _Would Lend Support To Parity (Continued from page One) 1956, Ontario's gross farm income actually dropped 3 percent in -the same period. Although farmers, he stated, made up 13 percent of the population, they represented only 7 percent of the productive wealth. As a possible solution Mr. MacDOnald 'suggested, marketing legislation; action to' reclaim lost natural =Picas' overseas; prices to assure farmers' of „their cost of production, plus a fair return on their investment; reduced cost of production through co-ops and other forms of public ownership. "As much as 30 percent of the meat sold in Canadian butcher shops is not -properly graded," aid Mrs. W. B. Harvey, London, a director of the Canadian Coneumer's Associa- tion. She said "a lot of Canadian meat is carefully 'graded but in other places any half -blind animal that can stumble or stagger into the slaughter house is accepted and sold to me as. meat." C. E. Nicholson, Canned Crop Association told the convention of their success: in holding and in- creasing their prices, while the prices of other commodities de- creased. He attributed their suc- cess to withholding and threat of withholding from the market. Mr. Goodfellow in his remarks stressed the necessity of OFU, but believed in the strength of a unit- ed front. He also :seated that far- mers should have :the privilege of collective marketing if desired, Albert V. Cormack, president of the OFU in his address, stressed the need for more leaders to keep pace with this rapidly expanding organization, In 1946, 960 beshels of wheat bought a efatrn tractor, while in 1956 It takes 2648 bushels of wheat to buy the same tractor, stated Mr. Jake Schtfltz, Manitoba, who IS. chairman, or the•Inter,Provincial Council.
