'The rink was jammed with 1,200 howl­ ing fans who witnessed the best game played here this year. The Oilers were confident of making it two straight but slipped in their own grease when the Indians went on the war-path, out- skating and out-playing them. A lot of so-called hockey experts of Luck­ now qnd Paisley had called Paisley to make it two in a row. We are inclin­ ed to think that the wish was father . of the thought. Paisley had the two Books of Luck­ now on their line-up but the Indians tore the odd page from itheir accomp­ lishments and no fooling. Young, of Goderich, was with the Indians again and he added punch and agressiveness to the attack and defence. The much- tooted Dick Craig of 'the Oilers was ■watched closely. The local club members all did well and their unselfish play made for many breaks and not a few goals. Cy. Proctor, with three goals and two as­ sists, was top man of the score sheet, but all the players gave a high-class account of themselves. Nichol’s break­ away for the first goal in the first (per­ iod was a honey, he sure smoked down the ice. The game was an aggressive affair and very fast and the fans were de­ lighted' and excited throughout. The Indians turned it. on when it meant something and they sure can travel. , When Short-handed, Coach Lockridge used Cy. Proctor, Nichol and Foster up forward, and they sure were effect­ ive. English and Fromanger played effectively. Elliott played one of his ■best games and the lads who flank Cy. each got a goal and stood up well un­ der heavy pressure. Struke was good, this lad is improving every game, he did some swell blocking. The. Oilers started out as if they were going to put the fix ,on the Ind­ ians. They had the Tribe bottled up completely for the first two minutes of play, Just as the Indians were get­ ting on to their stride English tripped Craig and to the aboler he did go. The Oilers went at it again but the Indians were playing well defensively. Then Cy. Proctov shot the puck to ] centre, Nichol tAced out after it, flew | down the ice and beat itelleher for the , opening counter. The play was even- Stephen for some minutes, both teams , testing the goalies, then Cy. Proctor! shook off his check, dodged the de- j fence and when he could not shoot to ; Win, passed to Young, who was on his J right, and Bill sent the fans into hy-[ sferics when he bulged the twine. A little over a minute latfir Elliott took) Nichol’s pass and the fans made whoopee as he made it 3-0. The per­ iod ended that way. Craig tripped Johnson and was banished, .but the Indians could not penetrate' Paisley's stout defensive .play. The play had only started in the se­ cond period when Paddon was banish­ ed. The Indians went to work but the only tally they got was a Cy. Proctor Special, _Cy. taking the puck at .the face-off near the goal and driving it home. Cy. registered another on Bill Young’s pass,, and it was now 5-0. Cordick was flipped by Cy. and for two minutes the Oilers tried all their tricks and just as Cy. came back onto •the ice, Johnson scored from Cordick. Linesman Bruder got in the way of the puck about this time, receiving a bang on the toe. In about two minutes Paisley got their second goal, Fenton taking a pass from .Craig. There was! considerable excitement when a fight j ■broke out between Fromanger and1 Craig behind the Wingham net. It looked as if a general melee might break out but peace was restored and they were given major penalties (five minutes). Pan Proctor, on a pass from George Johnson, opened the scoring in the last chapter. Play had not gone four min­ utes when these boys made it 6-2. .Bill Young was banished, for boarding Johnson and in fifteen seconds From­ anger and Johnson followed together for a bumping duel. With the Indians two short and Paisley one short, it looked like the Oilers might do some­ thing, but Cy. Proctor turned the tables. The puck was shot down the ice from the Wingham area, Cy. streaked after it and the goalie being the only one back, left his net to shoot it up the ice. Cy)? deflected the puck and then grabbed it and pushed it into the open net with the opposing*players making desperate efforts to catch him. Craig got Paisley’s third and last goal. Paddon started from his blue line, dodged through and drove the puck in. Craig took the rebound and shot nicely to score. .Young received his second penalty when he banged Craig into the end of the rink as he was mak­ ing a desperate effort to get around the Wingham net. It was tough going for a few minutes as Paisley put on the power play but the Indians held them off. With five seconds to go, George Johnson scored the final goal when he took Cy/s pass and shot it between the goal post and Kelleher.

Grant got a crack on the nose and was off for a few minutes but was just as effective when he got back into the play. The Indians were trying to get in there but were up against a stone-wall defence with the Oilers sneaking out for a rush quite often. Young was waved out of the play as he tripped Cordick and just before he returned Cordick .took John­ son’s pass in centre ice, streaked down centre and made it good.

BANTAMS CONTINUE THEIR WINNING WAYS Defeated .Mitchell In The Second „ Game Bruce Trust and Savings Company was held in the company’s office in Owen Sound last week. A large num­ ber of shareholders were welcomed by W. S. Middlebro’ who was chairman of the meeting, in the absence’ of C. A. Fleming. In his remarks to the shareholders Mr. Middlebro’ expressed appreciation on behalf of the shareholders for the services rendered by the President, C. A. Fleming. He stated that his exper­ ience as a chartered accountant made him a very valuable asset to the com­ pany. ‘ Mr. Middlebro’ stated further that the net profits of the company, after payment of interest on deposits, guar­ anteed investments, management ex­ penses, etc., were $54,641.76 which have been appropriated as .follows: Two" half yearly dividends at the rate of 4% per annum and bonus of 1%............ $27,235.00 Reserved for Government Taxes................................. Depreciation on Buildings • and fixtures ...................... Transferred to’Reserves ..... from the porter, we tried curling up' on a seat. Placing the pillow beside the window, and gradually easing down into the seat, the unpleasant ex­ perience of having frigid cold blowing down your neck was discovered. The windows were far from being air-tight in their frames. The next step was to turn complete­ ly around and try placing the pillow next to the aisle. Then with a hand firmly grasping the back of the seat, the feet were drawn up tightly and the body was eased down into what« we fondly believed to be a comfortable position. -Everything was fine until the train lurched and in company with about thirty other people a sudden descent was made from -the seats to the floor. Growing almost desperate, another hour was spent in punching the pillow into various shapes and draping the feet in all possible positions. Twice the feet slipped and came dangerously close to going out the window. Dis­ gusted a trip was made back to the smoker for a smoke, and there we dis­ covered about twenty men crowded in­ to a small compartment smoking ev­ erything from foul pipes to hand-roll­ ed stogies made cut of something re­ sembling rotted burdock leaves. Back to the seat again. The train­ man padded in and looked over the. tiny tickets punched over each window and roused a couple of parties who were getting off at a small station. How we envied them! Soon they would be able to climb into a bed and sleep. Even the prospect of stretching out on a hard station waiting-room bench seemed like heaven compared to trying to sleep on a space roughly estimated at being 3 feet -by 1. An Air Force member slept with his mouth open, his feet draped up over the seat in front of him. His buddy half slumped into the seat ahead had to duck the feet each time we went around a curve. A girl in the seat ac­ ross the aisle solved the problem by piling all her baggage up in the space in front of her seat and making slight­ ly more space on which to stretch out. L’p ahead there slept a man in a red mackinaw, snoring soundly and rasp­ ing like a cross-cut saw on a spike ev­ ery time we rounded a curve. But came the dawn and as the port­ er went around gathering up his pil­ lows, the genial trainman came in and said, “Sudbury Junction, next stop”. As an afterthought he mumbled: "Sleep pretty good.” There was no answer to that question . . . only an assorted medley of groans and moans as the party limbered up. ‘said, and that while new loans had been scarce, the Directors believed it the duty of the company to keep a strong cash position in order to assist with the financing of the war. $79,926 had been collected in mortgage inter­ est and $131,740 in principal, making a total of $211,666. He stated that it was the" policy of the company to not only have the interest paid quarterly or half yearly, but also to have pay­ ments of principal on each interest date, except the National Housing Act loans which are payable monthly, Mr. Middlebro’ advised ithat the Es­ tates Department has shown ’ an in­ crease of $353,709 and now totals $1,- 685,028. This increase has been effect­ ed even in view of a large amount hav­ ing been paid to estate beneficiaries during the year. He stated that there had never been a time when trust com­ pany services were required more than today, and that the Grey & Bruce Trust & Savings Comparfy was never in a better position to give good Ser­ vice. > On Wednesday evening the Bant­ am Lions journeyed to Mitchell and won 4-1, making it 15-2 on the round. The Mitchell team were much improv­ ed over their appearance here and it was a much better game, Wingham went into the lead in the first period when Bell scored on a passing play with Lockridge and Ern­ est. In the second period Ernest put Wingham two up on a pass from Wil­ son. In the final period McNairn scor­ ed for Mitchell on a pass from Mc­ Carthy. "Bell and Lockridge added one each for Wingham to make it 4-1. The local kids will now enter anoth­ er round in their quesit for the Bantam Championship of Ontario Minor Hoc­ key Association.

Over 1,300 howling fans saw the Paisley Oilers win the group champ­ ionship at Walkerton Friday night. Al­ most every available space was taken — the only place any more could be crowded in was at the back end of the rink. The Indians were well supported, with fans from,here attending in very large numbers, but about the, only time they had a chance to use their lungs was when the team .came on the ice and when the Indians got their only tally. *' This loss was' a great disappoint­ ment, especially after the Indians tak­ ing the game here on Wednesday to the tune of 8-3. From a Paisley stand­ point', it was a great win, and it was, but the opinion of most of those from here who saw the game was that the Indians had an off night and that their efforts were less effective than in any game this season. This does not in any way take away from the glory c.f ■the Oilers. They played a very sound defensive game and 'were quick ito take advantage of the breaks. The In­ dians were woefully weak on their passing attack, a style of game they, appeared to have mastered up to this game. The Walkerton ice surface is 80 ft. by. 180 ft., and the fans expected' great things from the Indians on this large ice surface. However, if they had been -lucky enough to pop in a tying goal during the latter part of the second period or the first half ’of the third, things might have turned out differ­ ently. Paisley were always in the lead and the Indians had to keep pressing to try and even things up. Paisley were .very wise, lay back and made the Indians come to .them. Less than half a minute after the game got under way, Fromanger was .sent to the mourners’ bench for flip­ ping Cordick. The Indians held the fort and Struke was called upon to stop but two shots during his absence. It was apparent that Paisley were go­ ing td play a waiting style of game before many minutes had passed, they however bored in when they had a break of any kind. Half way through the period Johnson passed to Cordick near his own blue line, Cordick speed­ ed down centre, passed to Johnson, Who scored on a pretty shot from a difficult angle. This was the only tally of the period but both teams missed good chances to net the old boot heel. The Indians really tried hard in the second frame to get the equalizer but their plays were not clicking, and the Oilers played desperately to keep the puck in the centre zone or further down the ice. The Ollers made it 2-0 before the period was half over, G. Book got credit for this one with oth­ er players taking part in the play. At the half-way mark Cordick tripped Johnson and spent two minutes watch­ ing the Indians gang around Kelleher but without results, The Indians’ only goal was registered by Cy Proctor with five minutes left. In the period. He took the puck from a face-off near the goal, dodged about and flipped the disc past Kelleher, The Indians took on fresh hopes after this and opened up with plenty of speed but it was not in the books for them to get the tying goal, The Indians had a bad break in the last period, 'the period' had only got under way when Fromanger hurt his i .3.15 .2.20 3— Wingham, Penalties—English, Craig. 2nd Period , 4— Wingham, Cy Proctor 5— Whigham, C, Proctor (Young) 8.30 6— ‘Paisley, Johnson (Cordick) ;..12,10 7— Paisley, Fenton (Craig) ....14.47 Penalties—Paddon, C, Proctor, Fro­ manger, Craig. 3rd .Period 8— Whigham, D.

The liquidity for depositors being $1.-53 for each $1 on deposit, compared with 57c in 1930. i PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J, Boyle “TRAIN RIDE” youFor a lesson in endurance, should try riding in a day coach on a transcontinental train. On our -way last week to meet a friend in Sudbury, we had the experience of riding all night long on what the railroad was pleased to call its transcontinental train. It was an experience worth many dollars , . . although in the act­ ual process the experience didn’t seem to be compensation for the aches and creaks that seemed to develop with each lurch of the train. Evidently in an effort to drum up 'business for the sleepers, the train of­ ficials placed us in a coach that would have made Noak’s Ark look like a pal­ ace. Each seat was individual, and no I matter how much you tried there was' no chance of making a double seat for yourself and so enjoying some meas­ ure of comfort. It appeared also that the track had been sprung into strange curves,"for [which the lumbering old car was not prepared. When the remainder of the train was swinging in one direction,, this particular car, like the last lamb in a band of sheep, wanted desperately hard to get off by itself, Purchasing A pillow for the night Wisdom is offtimes nearer when we stood than when we soar.—Words­ worth.
