Beyond, a doubt, the highlight of
the weeks activities in sports was the
hockey game of Exeter vs. T.T.S.
St. Thomas held last Wednesday in
Exeter Arena, when Exeter swept
the ice for a 6-2 victory.
Three stars certainly should be
awarded the Exeter team for their
superb stick work and passing, as
well as general sportsmanship; but
the names of P/O. Shaw and Cliff
Young deserve special mention,
Outstanding ability
P/O. Shaw in scoring
six goals merited his
top of the list, while
Exeter goalie, ‘faced stiff opposition
from the strong T.T.S. aggregation,
but was definitely instrumental in
holding down the scoring.
The Exeter Arena was filled to
capacity to witness the fine display
on the part of both teams, and the
game next Thursday in St. Thomas
when these two teams meet again
with Exeter backed by a four-goal
lead should prove intensely interes
ting.
The hockey game of Exeter vs.
Clinton had to be cancelled last
Wednesday because of soft ice.
The badminton game with Exeter
players vs. No. 9, S.F.T.S. of last
Monday, also was cancelled,* owing
to the blizzard which swept this
part of the province making trans
portation difficult.
The Volleyball House League un
der the capable direction of F/Lt.
Hodges ,is well under way with six
teams, including all ranks, partici
pating.
The officer’s team in the basket
ball league is out in front for wins,
but opposition from all other teams
keeps the league at a lively pitch.

Bilious Attacks
Biliousness is just another name
for a clogged or sluggish liver. It
is a very common complaint, but can
be quickly remedied by stimulating
the flow of bile. This softens the
accumulated mass, the poisons are
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels are relieved and
toned up.
Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liver, open
ing up every channel, by causing a
free flow of bile and thus cleansing
the liver of the clogging impurities*

needed
This is the year of supreme effort, the year Red
Cross will be needed as never before. And as our
all-out victory drive gains momentum, as casualty
lists mount, as the horrors of war spread wider
and sink deeper, this need will grow.
We must see them through: the fighting men on
every front, the gallant Merchant Navy, the wound
ed and maimed in British and Canadian hospitals,
Prisoners of War, the homeless war orphans of
Britain and the suffering millions of Europe.
Only the Eled Cross meets this call for vital life
saving food for Prisoners of War parcels, medicines,
comforts, blood serum and nursing that spell
survival for so many. There is no one else to do
the job.
That is why we cannot fail: why we ask
you to open your hearts and purses,
giving to the limit of your ability.
Remember, Victory will not be cheap;
the real need lies ahead.
