Sorry 1. inlased last week's
column, but the irriday 'was
out. of town,. wliue yours truly
wali attending an Arena Assecia-
tion tneeting. •
First of all, I must eongratu.
We the Zurich. 13.antams. and
Midgets an4 wish them good
tuck. They are two. geed teams.
:with A.. promising. 'future this
7ear.„ Zurieh feria are also. to.
'he =Amended for their active
arta enceuraging .suppat. Tough
that a little of 'this .element
rith off on Lucanites.
A good many people .Missed the
boat- last Wednesday evening,
When Casey -CM* and his West-
ern Swing Band _provided a zip-
'PY evening a entertainment in
the arena. 'However he has furth-
or bookings in this ,area in the
near future, and has a local re -
tint engagentent scheduled for
April,
Speaking of dancing! The Miss-
es Yield and Raisa Dukyj form-
erly of Ilderton, have opened a
local dance studio in the I.O.O.F.
ball. The arena is in charge pf
registration and classes will be-
gin shertly. The "Keep Fit
Class" will continue aA usual,
although we regret the loss of
OW' instructress, Mrs, Bill Mc-
Grigor. Miss Dukyj Will be re-
placing her.
Lucan and lklerton are at it
again. This time its pee wee
hockey. Last week, Luean's team
was whopped to the tune of 6-0.
Of course, Ilderton accomplish-,
ed, this remarkable feat bY
util-
Izing older players, Come March
16, and the Shamrock Tourna-
Ment, Ilderton we think will be
faced with much different con-
ditions. In our opinion, some of
the Ilderten folks are rather
difficult to please; but when a
transplanted Torqntonian lends,
.fuel to the fire . . . . well broth-
er that spells trouble!
A recent opinion voiced a
comparison between the Mer-
ton Ice Palace and the Lucan
Community Centre which only
revives some dcrogatory
ments made by both Ilderton
and Lucan Hockey Clubs, as re-
gards playing conditions on nat-
ural ice, at the Zurich Arena.
I'm given to understand, Zurich
Arena is far the superior with
natural ice being the only thing
they have in common. There-
fore, I'm inclined to wonder if
such names as O'Neil, Thornpu
son and Hodgins, wbo have fig-
ured so prominently in the
hockey newthroughout West-
ern Ontario :are not the probable
results of Lucan's ' .artificial ice.
Don't forget: folks, come the LI,:,.:.....nici ue ...F.'arm.
facilities. What say .y00
