JOSEPH I. SULLIVAN,

Dear Sir:
First, I inust comment on a
well -composed Wiort story titled
"J. C. Hindmarsh Answers Crit-
ics" in last week's Signal -Star.
Mr. Hindmarsh, I fail to see
where you get the idea that the
boys playing -hockey are being
taught to be - "Hoodlums." I
think you have missed the point
in Mr. Wilkinson's letter. At
least I certainly donot think
that he was- advocating dirty
hockey (as it is being termed)
and telling the players to attack
their opponents in the alley
back of the arena. -
In my eyes, I see. a great dif-
ference between what I call'
"Hoodlums" and a hockey play-
er fighting on the ice which YOU
think • are "Hoodlums." I'm
sure, Mr, Hindmarsh, that in all
your years of clean living you

or otherwise, for that matter.
It is very true ,that hockey
is big business In' Canada, but
it is not .(true that dirty hockey

as the "Lady Byng" trophy for

true that there are fights in

fear not, plat there would be,
a loss of gate' receipts if there
were none (fights).
Last MondaY night at the local
arena an exhibition game took
place between a team of grown

Hindmarsh, if its blood you're
looking for, .save the tubes in
your TV, just turn the pages
pertaining to the Viet Cong and
the •racial problem in. the U.S.
in the late issues of Post and
Life magazines. There it is,
blood oozing from the wounds
and torn limbs 'Of bodies that
have been blasted and torn a-
part by bombs and "mobs" of
all colors, including white. So
you see, Mr. Hindmarsh, that
there is a much bigger problem
facing the people than the con-
dition of hockey in Canada.
Thank you, and a Happy New
Year.

He was a clerk behind the coun

Dear Ann Landers: "God bless
you" for praising the teacher
who was kind to the six-year-old
boy who wet his pants in school.
The letter was written by a
46 -year-old man. He said, "I
will love that teacher till my
:lying day." She gave him some
lry underwear she kept there f
that purpose and asked him to
have Ills mother launder it and
return it for some .other little
boy who migtht need it.
Our own little girl was barely
six when she wet her pants at
the blackboard. Her teacher
was not so kind. She shame'

room in tears and arrived home

for the beyts, Iltay prove your

I am sure Mr. Smythe had manY

Maple Leaf hockey team. •
I also send you an invitation
to come down to the arena any

(this way it will not cost you
75 cents), but at least you will
meet each one personally, and
