On Monday evening of this week
a team of youngsters, 14 years and
under, frbm Fordwich, came to Gor
rie and played a game of liockey with
the Gorrie Buzzers (Juveniles) in the
local arena. The game was clean and
well played and created a goo.d deal
of interest for the fairly large crowd1’
on hand to see it. The teams were
very evehly matched and the local
youngsters showed much improve
ment “in their play over the other
games this year. Fordwich got the
first goal in a scramble in front of
Gorrie net when a shot deflected off
Jack Underwood's stick into iiis own
net, but., a few minutes later Bower
Farrish, playing defense, carried the
puck to tlm Fordwich net and. on a
rebound Walter Hemmingway bang
ed it in to even the score. Thus end
ed the first period. In the second per
iod Geo, Heinmiller scored making
the count Gorrie 2, Fordwich 1. There
was no score in the final period but

I had a letter from a man who lives
up in Owen Sound and I thought I
would just let you in on it, by read
ing part of it to you. Of course he
was quite interested in a great deal
of the animals around here at Lazy
Meadows, but he touched on one sub
ject that made me Stir my slowly
stiffening bones into activity. He
wrote:
“Have you ever thought of what
next winter will be like? Here you
are enjoying all the warmth of those
beech and maple sticks in the old
stove in the front room, and puffing
Stodgily On your pipe, rocking your
self gently along and lazily philosoph
izing. How about next winter, and
will the old stove continue to shed
heat just as a ^ort of mirage of what
it formerly was”.
Thanks Richard! I will confess
that I have been dozing away, and
forgetting about what was to come
next winter. No, I’m not like the
neighbour of ours who always con
fesses that he never cuts his wood in
the previous winter, for fear that we
might get an open one. I suppose,
maybe, I’m something like the Irish
man who was hired by the construc
tion boss to plan out a building. Pat
sat on a pile of lumber for over five
days, and lie gave no sign of doing
anything, so the foreman enquired as
to what he was doing.
“Sor, xii’ve had bad luck, I planned
it all in me head, but I forgot the
basement, and sure enough when I
had it just about all ready I rememb
ered that you wanted a basement, so
now I've torn it all down and I’m
starting over again.” ’
I haven’t had the same ideas as that
because, I fully realize the fact, that
with no wood we can hardly live.
They talk about heating with hot-air
but I’ve had a whole flock of gabby
relatives here and it never made any
difference on the amount of wood
used,
