ByBIII T Well, lady luck is not of our s'de as far as our Jr. B hockey team is concerned. We certainly appreciate the fine turn out of over 900 to our game here, but if we are eliminated now we find ourselves 111 a very poor fi- nancial position again as our expenses inthelast month have mounted steadily and we were depending on play off games to {soon take care of these. Our juvenile team has now advanced to O.H.'M.A. playoffs and again this is going to add additional expenses unless we are able to get a crowd large enough to help out with expense involved. The boys are playing good hockey and are certainly deserving a 'better following. We are planning on having a hookey banquet at which time jackets will be presented. 2Our plans now are to try and obtain well known .persons 'in the sports world and try and sell 100 tickets at $5 each which will be used to pay for the jack- ets and costs of the banquet. I do not know if this is possible, but feel sure that all our fans will not forsake us as- soon as our season closes. If response to this project is satisfactory and we feel the general public still feels that Seaforth is large enough to continue in Jr. B hockey, we have plans for bringing in wrestling and possibly a top TV radio show to raise funds to clear all obligations and ad- ditional funds to carry on minor hockey next season. This pro- gram depends entirely on our fans. If they will support us ibY spending a few dollars to help, we will continue to work hard for sports in Seaforth. If they' feel, two or three must spend °several hundreds of their own money, then it will .he impos- sible to carry an any ,program for financing our sports picture. Following is ; a statement of accounts as paid, but does,. not include several hundred' dollars of accounts which have 'accum- ulated that we have been unable to meet in the last few weeks. At the end, of the season we will give you an itemized state- ment of all accounts as soon as they are all in, These will .be' the ones we will need your help to meet. Please do not fail us when our fund raising • , ro am r A g is announced. We will try and give you value in •entertainment for the funds if you will only turn out to our shows.
