"You can tell that by the crowds. I don't think the majority of Citi- ' zens are in- favor of hockey as it is operated at present." But Mayor Huckins suggested it would seem rather ridiculous to have built a $150,000 arena and then throw out the hockey team which was the main reason for building it, ; The Mayor denied Councillor Robertson's allegation that he was tryiixg to `sail" . council dow_n_eto. agreeing to bail out the hockey 'club if it ran into financial diffi- culty at the end of the year.

At the same time, Councillor Drennan insisted, "Nobody likes hockey any better than I do!" "This is the. first year in which the arena committee has set a budget," said Deputy -Reeve Fisher, "and every member of it is in- terested in keeping within that amount of $11,400." With the support of Council and the Booster Club, stated the dep- uty -reeve, the committee hopes to lower its budget next year. Its main hope of doing this, he in - 1 timated, is finding ways to make more money out of intermediate hockey. There was considerable discus- sion about whether the motion, giving the green light on inter - 'mediate hockey for another season, should include the. rider requir- ing.•the committee to keep within 'its budget. . The mayor felt that if the com- mittee couldn't stay within its bud- get, it woud not be fair to hold the members of the committee liable to pay any deficit themselves. However, Mr. Bannister, chair- man of the committee, was con- fident no shortage would arise and he agreed to inclusion of the clause. tend to dispose of the brass bear- ings to a scrap dealer eventually. A five -man repair crew was sent here from London to put the freight cars in shape for rolling again this week. The case is strikingly similar to another wholesale theft of brasses from 12 CIN freight cars here in January. It is still being investi- gated by police. Value of the parts stolen in January was placed at close to $1.000. n AUBURN Mr. Keith Machan and Mr. Sandy Andrews, who are employed „with a construction firm at Woodstock, spent the week -end at their homes here.

Of the 511,400 allocated by the town to recreation this year, not one cent was ear -marked for inter- mediate hockey. At the time the budget was set, it hadn't been de- cided whether there ' would be a team next season. Therefore,' some other phase of the recreation program would pre, sumably have to suffer in event it became necessary to dip into the town grant to help the hockey club through November. and De- cember, the two months which have Lbeen the most unprpfitable in the past. This, in turn, highlights the fact that the decisions made Tuesday cover 1956 only. What happens to the hockey team after the New Year, when it plays most of its games, is another question. It was a question that wasn't raised at this weelc's special meeting. 0--.� WINGHAM WINS BRIDGE MATCH FROM GO DERI OH Goderich Duplicate Bridge Club entertained players from Wingham amu 'Thursday at the Bedford Hotel, ts13th Wingham winning the match.
