When you think of hundreds or arenas in hundreds of towns and thousands of teams and hundreds of thousands of players, it all adds up to an awful lot of hockey going on across the Dominion. There's no doubt about it, hockey is about the most strictly Canadian Sport there is, In fact we’d .almost go so far as to say it’s one of the most High in Energy■ I ;1 i New Formula CHICK 5TARTER Superior Quality - Always Fresh These features will give your chicks the start they need to produce large eggs—EARLIER. ■'i Poultrymen should be thinking ahead— planning their egg profit programme well in advance.

Hockey may not be very important in world af­ fairs, and it may not rate very high on the cultural scale, but there isn’t a doubt that it’s a Canadian institu­ tion. They talk about thinks being as English as roast beef, as Irish as Paddy’s pig or as Scottish as Haggis, and to the list you might add the ex­ pression as Canadian as a game of hockey. Canada has so many good hockey players that she can afford to export them. Most of the hockey players in the States come from Canada.. Cana­ dian hockey players can be found in England, in Scotland or in other parts of Europe. The Canadian team which is entered in the World Hockey Championship in Sweden has been able to defeat all comers so far, in a series of exhibition games. All except one, that is—a team composed of Can­ adian professional hockey players J The grass roots underneath all this activity are the minor hockey clubs like the Wingham Midgets, and there must be thousands of them, across the country. They play their own brand of hockey, fast and spotty at times, hut with an inkling here and there of the shape of things to come. Per­ haps it's not as nice hockey to watch as Junior “B” but when you get a beam like the Wingham Midgets, the game certainly has its moments. In Fact, at times, when the Midgets get clicking together, it’s almost as good a game to watch as Junior “B”, and at their peak the kids are just as fast and flashy. There’s a strong appeal in minor hockey just because it’s local. No one will quarrel with the statement that the N.H.L. is the ultimate in hockey. But there's a lot of people who would rather watch the neighbor’s kid skate down the ice than have a season’s ticket in the Red Section at the Maple Leaf Gardens. A good percentage of Canada’s hockey must originate in the smaller towns. For one thing small towns are more conducive to hockey playi’* ,. Everyone can skate in the Wingham arena if they feel so inclined, but in the city there aren’t enough rinks to accommodate everybody. Some cities like London, haven’t even got a de­ cent arena. Others, like Toronto, have artificial ice rinks scattered around, but so few and far between that for many people it’s a major chore to get to one. Lots of city kids never do learn to skate and a good ‘many of them have probably never seen a hockey game, except on television. The same thing applies for the hockey fans. In Toronto it costs you a small fortune to get a decent seat in the Gardens. In Wingham you ‘can watch good hockey for fifty cents. In Toronto, unless you’re loaded, you sit up in the Greys, and from there it’s like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. In Wingham you can come early and get the best seat in the place for the same fifty cents. The average person in- the smaller town sees more hockey in a year than the average city person does in a lifetime. As long as Canada has its present highly organized hockey set-up, rang­ ing from the lowest orders right up to the N.H.L., the country will pro­ bably continue to be the hockey capi­ tal of the world. Canadian hockey players will continue to be the best in the world. We may not have a national flag, but at least we have that! I “Moro and more large Canadian companies are discoverng that it pays to advertise in Canada's weekly news­ papers, “And Household Finance is no ex- cepton,” states vice-president A. W* Bruce in 'announcing that his comp­ any will use regulai- advertising space this year in the Wingham Advance- Times. “I grew up in the Ontario town of Beaverton,” Mr. Bruce explained, “and I know personally the important part which the weekly paper there played and still plays in the life of the entire community. very wonder­ protein con- amino acids Cottage Cheese Provides Health Cottage cheese is an excellent nu­ tritious school lunch or breakfast pro­ duct, says Margaret E. Smith, Ph.B., M.Sc., Health League nutritionist. It contains the majority of the milk nu­ trients in concentrated form and is an economical way of increasing food I nutrients in the meals. I The human factory is fully constructed. Milk tains the twenty-two which are essential for life. When the cheese is put into the stomach of the human factory it immediately begins 'to break up into smaller particles i (digestion). Its next stop is in the liver where it is broken into still smaller particles and begins to form new compound particles which are de­ livered to places where they are need­ ed, for repair or for building new tissues, an example of which would be mending a cut- finger. Grain, fruit and vegetables lack some of the essential or complete am­ ino acids and their particles can only be used along with the complete pro­ tein particles. If not balanced, many plant protein particles are excreted as waste in the urine and feces. If you want to be healthy^and at the same time eat economically, use milk and cottage cheese often. It is cheap­ er than bacon and eggs. When the day’s supply of milk is running short, Milk Powder is a real convenience! It’s easy to mix a quart or a cupful of milk to add flavour and food value to your cooking. Milk Powder is an excellent, inexpensive source. of complete protein, calcium, riboflavin, Vitamin A.

W. Bruce “Weekly newspapers are not only thoroughly read but the character and calibre of their editorial and news coverage makes their advertising columns effective beyond t what might be normally expected from a com­ parable circulation in a large city daily or magazine,” Mr. Bruce added, “The Wingham Advance-Times is this year one of about 200 weeklies in which we will carry a series of ad­ vertisements on ’Builders of Canada.’ “While our company,” he continued, “has not yet established offices in each of the markets served by these newspapers, the use of consumer credit has now become an integral part, of the lives of most Canadians. Small sum installment loan services, regulated by the government, are used today by literally hundreds of thousands of families and have made a major contribution-to the continued healthy growth of our Canadian econ­ omy. “We therefore feel that we have a responsibility, as the largest of the Canadian consumer loan companies, to tell our story not only in the large metropolitan centres butdn communi­ ties served by Canada’s leading week­ ly newspapers. “This advertising association with weekly newspapers started nearly two years ago,” Mr. Bruce concluded. “It has been growing steadily and we hope that it will be mutually profit­ able. There is no substitute for week­ ly newspaper advertising in reaching the five million Canadians who live outside the big cities.” REVOLUTIONARY NEW BALL JOINT FRONT SUSPENSION Smoothest, safest, quietest on any road!
