A, Nimmo, the Midget Hockey Team of fourteen players, Mr. Tory Gregg, Lions Pat Brown and John Gillen of Arthur, Tailtwister Gard Buchanan was ably assisted by his Deputy, Lion Charles Roberts and the large crowd was kept under con- trol in a very efficient manner.

He claimed they had won a game from Lucknow by a score of 25 to 2. The Midget Hoc- key boys were not visibly impressed with Liort Hal's story. Lion Clayton Gammage was blamed for not having Rev.

The Tailtwister fined Lion Ford Cruickshank claiming that RUGGED PROTECTION IS THE NATURAL THING I The Rhinoceros is built like a battleship. Nature has provided him with a tough, almost impreg- nable hide—rugged, lasting protection. Brantford Roofing, too, provides rugged, lasting protection.
