When I arrived for a weekend visit at my sister's house, my six-year-old * nephew informed me his hockey clinic was the next morning at 10:30 and. if I ex pected to be ready on time. I’d better get up at 5. Although I slept in until 9 o’clock. I managed to get to the arena in time to watch the 20 five-year-olds and six- year-olds perform their skating drills. For some, skating from one end of the rink to the other without falling seemed like mission impossible, but they kept struggling to their feet and trying again. Then the coach had the audacity to instruct them to do two things at once — stop and stay on their skates. When the whistle blew, 20 tykes skated down the ice at full tilt. When the whistle blew again, bodies fell like flies. Next they learned how to skate backwards. One little guy was doing well. He bent forward, pushed hard and gained speed. Unfortunately he never looked around and backed onto a pylon. The drill ended with several laps around the rink practicing turns around pylons. Parents watched quietly through windows in a heated viewing area. Brian’s father suggested practice during the week would help, and Brian took him seriously. He drags old Dad down to the arena every chance he gets and has even persuaded him to don his skates and join him. When I returned recently for another visit, I found out Brian had graduated to a hockey team and his next game was Saturday morning at 9 o’clock. He didn’t bother to tell me what time to get up. I guess he thought it was useless. Even though we all slept in and even though the city was experiencing its worst ice storm of the winter, we all made it to the arena on time. The other boys had played since October and most of them knew what they were supposed to do. Brian had a few things to learn. He knew the object of the game was to get the puck and shoot it in the net. He got the puck once. That’s the good news; the bad news is, in his ex citement, he shot it at his own net. Brian wasn’t the only one who became confused. When the players lined up for a face-off, both coaches were yelling, "The other way, guys!” When the players went to the bench, they disappeared except for their helmets. I had difficulty picking out Brian in the row of blue helmets and white face guards. At the end of the game, the teams shook hands. Some of the boys got in the wrong line and shook hands with their teammates. The game was supposed to be played for fun. The boys seemed to enjoy it . and weren’t worried about the score. Many of the parents told a different story. They didn’t watch quietly as they had at the clinic. Instead they sat or stood on the hard seats close to the ice surface, screaming their lungs out and banging the boards. One mother was irate because she thought one of the disallowed. The goalie must have been her son. Two men complained because their boys played only three shifts in each ten- minute period. They didn’t seem to realize all the players skated only three shifts. Hopefully the parents, and other well-meaning but sometimes zealous relatives, won’t take the fun out of the game for the kids. The January meeting of the Afternoon Unit was very well attended. The leader, Mrs. M. Dearing gave a few remarks apd led in prayer. Roll call was answered by telling the number of visits made to sick or shut-ins dur ing the month.

The ladies saw the birthplace of Pierre Berton, and the cabins of Robert Service and Sam McGee.
