His head sits on one side and he sits on the other. Geese can't sing much on account of the dampness of moist- ures. He ain't got no between -his - toes and he's got a little ballon in his stummuek to keep him from sink- ing. Some geese, when they get big, has curls on their tails and is called CONSTANCE KINBUIIN RED BANDS GIVE WINNERS BIG ARGUMENT FOR SILVERWARE One of the closest racesthat has ever been played for the much sought after McMillan Trophy ended here on Wednesday, March 16th, when the Black Hawks of Winthrop nosed, out the Kinburn Red Bands 2 to 1, thus winning, the round 3 to 2. 'The game was all that ,the scare indicated, clean, fast and exciting', with only two penalties being drawn, one to each team. , The game was one of those that somebody has to lose. There was, na score in the first period and neither team got really warmed up. Don Dale started the rushing from the face-off. Nicholls came dowel, right after but again Rintoul saved. Far- quharson missed a good chance when he shot across the open goal -mouth. Nicholls took two more shots on goal in rapid succession without results. Fred Riley made a dangerous lone rush -and Bill Montgomery had to stops his first shot. E. Scott shot a hard one from the blue line and then Winthrop came back with a tush, K. Battles missing the goal on D. Dale's pass. Farquharson went in and shot two in -arow, missing` his own re- bound. A. Dale shot a long one from behind his own blue line and .Buzz Dale came back fast, Nicholl's shot being blocked by Rintoul. Kinburn put on an attack with A. Dale and Bernard Riley • getting t h e puck away, only to have Montgomery save the day for his -team. A. Dale was Penalized and Winthrop put on, the power play without results. The se- cond period was much the same until at the half -way mark Winthrop gain- ed the ,edge when "Buzz" Dale de- flected in a passe from Stan. Nicholls from the side of the rink. Things began to hum after that, neither team gave any ground and until the close of the period the best hockey of the whole game was played. Both teams missed a great many chances due to the sticky iee. In the third there was some pretty close checking. Win throp pushed to the front again be- fore Kinburn could bulge the twine. Alvin Dale started out on a rush, but he overskated the puck. Rae Carter rushed in fast, picked up the puck and circled the one lone defence man to beat Rintoul for the second tally. Alvin Riley came right back with Kinburn's lone marker 30 seconds lat- er from along the left boards. The Winthrop lads disputed the goal but the referees consulted the goal judge and the goal was allowed. The Red Bands put on a desperate last min- ute rally but the Black Hawks clear- ed down tite ice and held them at bay for the remainder of the time. The good fellowship that has prevailed in this league was shown at the finish of the game when both teams con- gratulated each other on the game that they put up. As. they left the ice they cheered lustily far the other. It was the conclusion of the first yeas of the league since there was no more than the four teams in the running. It was also the conclusion of the cleanest playoff games that have ev- er been played for the cup. Winthrop -Goal, B.

What Do Votes Cost` The Ontario Government has pub- lished a 350 -page book showing re- turns from the general election of Last October. It shows that 1,570,000 electors (70% of the total) used their franchise. It bristles with statistics as to how many ballots were used OT spoiled in each of 10,800 polling booths. Bub it gives no inkling as to what it cost the province or the con- tending parties to woo those voters to the booths and record the vote when they arrived. • a if the province is to spend money on an elaborate printed return of this type it should add a fete more col- umns and tell how lunch the election cost. Taxpayers would be interested tbt know for example that rental of each polling booth costs $8 and that each tetnruing officer gets $10 for his ser• vices, Other costs for a policeman and assistant bring the "official" cost at each Booth to between $24. and $28. Here is air official expen- diture of nearly $300,000 alone, Costs for enumeration and revision' df lists in each area might also be shown, There should be published also the "• official' expenses reported by each candidate. These probably run from a few dollars to well over the $1,000 mark even though they represent in most cases only a fraction of actual. expenditure."Unofficial_ expendit- are includes hiring cars and scrutin- eers—bath of which . practices are specifically prohibited by law). Along ;. with each statement of "official" ex- penses the candidate should- be re- quired to sign a declaration showing the proportion these bear to his to- tal out-of-pocket expenses. Something might also be done to- ward uncovering some of the general expenses borne by the province such as new road gangs, rebuilt bridges and similar costswhich bear a direct relation, to an election campaign. If all these items were included in the official election Blue. Book the document would have tremendous news value.' In its present form it is little mare than a 3plitician's handbook. ' If it. told the real story of what the last election or any election cost it would. become an exciting document.—Fin... nasal Post. ii SPRING WALLPAPER SPRING AGAIN— Now is the Time to Redecorate Your home. with 6N`I WORTHSEMI-TRIMMED U WALLPAPER. • A large assortment of Patterns with Borders to Beautify, To make Your choice for Bedrooms, Halls, Etc.

His head sits on one side and he sits on the other. Geese can't sing much on account of the dampness of moist- ures. He ain't got no between -his - toes and he's got a little ballon in his stummuek to keep him from sink- ing.

'The game was all that ,the scare indicated, clean, fast and exciting', with only two penalties being drawn, one to each team. , The game was one of those that somebody has to lose. There was, na score in the first period and neither team got really warmed up. Don Dale started the rushing from the face-off. Nicholls came dowel, right after but again Rintoul saved. Far- quharson missed a good chance when he shot across the open goal -mouth. Nicholls took two more shots on goal in rapid succession without results. Fred Riley made a dangerous lone rush -and Bill Montgomery had to stops his first shot. E. Scott shot a hard one from the blue line and then Winthrop came back with a tush, K. Battles missing the goal on D. Dale's pass. Farquharson went in and shot two in -arow, missing` his own re- bound. A. Dale shot a long one from behind his own blue line and .Buzz Dale came back fast, Nicholl's shot being blocked by Rintoul. Kinburn put on an attack with A. Dale and Bernard Riley • getting t h e puck away, only to have Montgomery save the day for his -team. A. Dale was Penalized and Winthrop put on, the power play without results. The se- cond period was much the same until at the half -way mark Winthrop gain- ed the ,edge when "Buzz" Dale de- flected in a passe from Stan. Nicholls from the side of the rink. Things began to hum after that, neither team gave any ground and until the close of the period the best hockey of the whole game was played. Both teams missed a great many chances due to the sticky iee. In the third there was some pretty close checking. Win throp pushed to the front again be- fore Kinburn could bulge the twine. Alvin Dale started out on a rush, but he overskated the puck. Rae Carter rushed in fast, picked up the puck and circled the one lone defence man to beat Rintoul for the second tally. Alvin Riley came right back with Kinburn's lone marker 30 seconds lat- er from along the left boards. The Winthrop lads disputed the goal but the referees consulted the goal judge and the goal was allowed. The Red Bands put on a desperate last min- ute rally but the Black Hawks clear- ed down tite ice and held them at bay for the remainder of the time. The good fellowship that has prevailed in this league was shown at the finish of the game when both teams con- gratulated each other on the game that they put up. As. they left the ice they cheered lustily far the other. It was the conclusion of the first yeas of the league since there was no more than the four teams in the running. It was also the conclusion of the cleanest playoff games that have ev- er been played for the cup. Winthrop -Goal, B.

What Do Votes Cost` The Ontario Government has pub- lished a 350 -page book showing re- turns from the general election of Last October. It shows that 1,570,000 electors (70% of the total) used their franchise. It bristles with statistics as to how many ballots were used OT spoiled in each of 10,800 polling booths. Bub it gives no inkling as to what it cost the province or the con- tending parties to woo those voters to the booths and record the vote when they arrived. • a if the province is to spend money on an elaborate printed return of this type it should add a fete more col- umns and tell how lunch the election cost. Taxpayers would be interested tbt know for example that rental of each polling booth costs $8 and that each tetnruing officer gets $10 for his ser• vices, Other costs for a policeman and assistant bring the "official" cost at each Booth to between $24. and $28. Here is air official expen- diture of nearly $300,000 alone, Costs for enumeration and revision' df lists in each area might also be shown, There should be published also the "• official' expenses reported by each candidate. These probably run from a few dollars to well over the $1,000 mark even though they represent in most cases only a fraction of actual. expenditure."Unofficial_ expendit- are includes hiring cars and scrutin- eers—bath of which . practices are specifically prohibited by law). Along ;. with each statement of "official" ex- penses the candidate should- be re- quired to sign a declaration showing the proportion these bear to his to- tal out-of-pocket expenses. Something might also be done to- ward uncovering some of the general expenses borne by the province such as new road gangs, rebuilt bridges and similar costswhich bear a direct relation, to an election campaign. If all these items were included in the official election Blue. Book the document would have tremendous news value.' In its present form it is little mare than a 3plitician's handbook. ' If it. told the real story of what the last election or any election cost it would. become an exciting document.—Fin... nasal Post.
