There is another aspect to the Booster club which should appeal to the public, too. Under the present set- up the 'bills Are largely paid hy the people who are most interested in see- ing hockey played in Winghaim. In some communities the sport has vir- tually become a burdemon .the taxpay- er as the towns concerned have assum- ed arena deficits ,and in other ways indirectly backed the teams. Without A plebiscite there would be no way of knowing whether or not a majority of the taxpjayers agree with this practice, so it seems only fair that the necessary funds should mbe'provided by those who are openly and clearly interested' in seeing hockey played in the town.

Much to his surprise, he soon saw the wolf through the trees ahead, struggling along in the loose 'snow. The rest was easy, and the $25.00 bounty money. looked pretty good to the Indian in those money-scarce days. In 1033, he shot four•wolves out of a pack he ran down in the notoriously deep snow of that year, and ever slime, wolves crossing his trapline 'have had to watch behind them. This type. of wolf hunting requires deep, soft snow, for with good footing a wolf can easily keep ahead of a Man on sn(:Ivshoes.
