WINGHAM MAY PLAY IN N. H. L. There is 'a strong possibility that the local squad of hockey players will enter organized hockey this sea- son. If they do they will play in the Senior Northern League, and the group will most likely be, Brussels, Listowel and Wingham. This should make a . good group, and it is hoped that when the League meets Wingham will be able to get into this group. The brand of hockey in thi's league is very good so the hockey fans can look forward to .see - h g; many good games this winter. a44-04 As you gather your darlings' around ,yost And tell them the "story of old,,' R,di,ember the homes : that are dreary, Retnesnber the hearts that are cold..
