Henry Mc'Gavin was born in Ireland and Mrs. Me - Gavin, who was Caroline Graham be- fore her marriage, was born at' God- erich, but at the time Of their mar- riage sixty-eight years ago they were both residents of the Bayfield dist- rict. 'With vivid _memory, Mr.' Mc - Gavin recalls his 19th year when he his home at Ederny, CountyFermanagh, Ireland. His older bro- ther had'already come out to NewYork where a schoolboy chum, Tho- mas Keys, was in business, but his brother had continued on to Baylfield where 'cousins of Mr. Keys 'had set- tled. "A younger brother of Henry's, the late John MoGavin, who died inN1ovember last in his 85th year,. also came to this country at the age Of seventeen. MdGavin is the last of the family. At the time Henry McGavin leftIreland two sisters were living in. New York and these he visited be- fore coming to his,,older brother, 1Wi1_ Bart, at .Rayfield. He still has the trunk and also the Bible which he brought with him . across,' the. ocean in a sailing vessel which took thirty- six - days between Liverpo'o'l and New York, the same distance caver- ed nowadays by aeroplane in slightly. over a day and a 'half. )After visiting in New York he ar- rived in ISeaforth a ,day',before his brother William at Blaylfield was ex- pec't'ing him and as no one was there to' meet himhe .remained at the sta- tion. A local man who was waiting for the next, train, noticed,that the lad was' a •etran'ger in these parts and on learning his name .and destination, told himshe knew 'William MoGavin and gave advice as to taking the Bayfield `.stage and finding his bro- t'her's, place. Mr. M!e,Gavin has nev- er''forgotten the kindness of the man Who helped' him out of his difficulty and regrets' that the train - had come in before he le'arned his name. Mr. MeiGavin is of the- .pinion that' the present winter is the 'best in his long-,experien'ce. He has seen :many mild winters, but none - with mild weather of such long duration.

There wars an unusually large crowd for the opening: game. None of the teams have had' any practise this winter due to lack of ice. However, some good hockey was ,handed nut at times and the fans received their money's worth. Every player tried hard to hold up his end. of the ,play. Egmondville 5, Winthrop 1. • F n the first game,Egmondville came out best in their game with Winthrop, the score being 5-1. Ref- eree Allan Reid dropped the puck for the face-off' at 7.40 pan, and the con - tett was on. ,Everyone was on .their toes and away. They fought back and forth for an hour and although Egmondville tallied the most 'number of«, times, Winthrop was by ,no means outclassed. They proved they were fighters -by storming Egmondville's quarters at every opportunity. ;First period, goals scored, Rex Mc- Gregor (E), Art Nicholson' (tE). Pe- nalties, Wilson Wright (,E) Thos.

The second • game was played be- tween ` the boys from E'gmondvil'1'e and ,the St. Columban Greenshirts, St. Colum/ban 'were defeated 2-9. The first period started with both- teams racing from end to end trying hard to scare. Soon Wilson Wright caught his stride and s'cored on a lone rush from end to end. Although they tried hard St. 'Columban, could not score and the period ended 1-0 for Egm'ondville.., in the second period . there were th'ri'lls and spills aplenty. Stick slashing and poke checking seemed t0 start them going. Soon, 'hohyever, both teams got their second wind and some good hockey was seen for a few minutes. The third stanza wa's an exciting as the second. Vincent Lane made some. desperate efforts but to no avail Roy MdG'eoclt in the nets for Egmo«4vddls was like a stone wall, although he was out o8 his net, alt times. St. Col- unub'an missed some open chances to Acne. Thete two teams' are pretty equal in ,weight and speed -and hoc'k- ey ability and another good game is expected when they meet again.
