Honourable William P. Mulock, K. O., Postmaster General, in urging that early Easter mailings be made the rule, points out that Easter mail should be posted during the next week or ten days. The approach of Easter always greatly augments the volume of cor- respondence, parcels, etc., and this year especially, with increased num- bers of our Forces overseas, the Easter mailings will be correspond= ingly heavier. When it is remembered that even n in normal weeks the Canadian Postal Corps at the Base Post Office, Otta- wa, despatches approximately 300,000 letters, 47,000 pounds of parcels and 30,000 pounds of newspapers,etc., the reason becomes apparent £or the need of ample -time margin to be given to avoid congestion or delay. Added to thie arethe well known wartime r blems of providing shipping orossings, space— Trans-Atlantic ns -Atlantic etc. Overseas, our men en Active Ser - Vice, look forward with great expect- ancy to the arrival'•of their Easte'r mail, and by posting now the public will help timely receipt and obviate the disappointment that might arise should their seasonable greetings and gifts not arrive by 1;astertime. Ail mail should be correctly addres— sed and fully repaid, and a return Parcels ad - e di ss given in everycase. Iced should, be properly pac , wra rpled• and tied, with completed Custom's Declarations affixed. Observance all these rules will further help ensure arrival in time for E'aste'r.

Ninteen penalties were hand- ed out and he the second period there were times when only three players on each side were on the ice, Pram.' tically every player on each team were fighting at sometime through- out' the game. The O.H.A. secretary had not assigned, a referee to handle ' the game and the team managers) agreed on Earl Fulford; a local man, who has had considerable experience in directing minor games. The play- ers became unruly, however, and he was obliged to retire. Mr. Dittcher, a Monctbn man who was attending was requisitioned to fill in. The Colts got away to a splendid start when Timmer McEwan scored the open " eratseven minutes and made in two at eight minutes. Walt West- brook put in the Fliers first goal. The Colts got three in quick succes- sion, Pickett, Scarrow and Timhner McEsvan each scored one. Colquhoun received a hit above the eye from a flying stick and Cooney McEwan had one of his teeth knocked •out when Davidson took a poke at him with his stick. When the teams changed over a hear pin drop in one could imoSt a a p d p the rink. The home fans were mad, fighting mad. The management was mad, in fact ,everybody was mad. Veenis gave the Fliers another goal before the end of the period. The Fliers had an edge in the play in the second but it was more than e. half over before Ashl y scored. Cole quhoun then carried the puck from centre ice an outguessed Worthy in t n one minute well directed rho i a from the drop of the' puck. Ashley scored again before the end of the period and they more react 6-3. The third was. anybody's period and while both teams got a counter, A. Doak and Scarrww alter it did not e t.. , alt ratio.
