On Thursday night they trailed from the start of the game and never carne within distance of closing the gap, but on Sunday the Flyers went two up in the second period and never looked back. By virtue of their eliminating the College crew the locals will now meet Shipka Bears in the best -of -seven series for the South Huron Hockey League championship. The first game of this grudge series will be played Friday night in the local arena, with the second game scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. All games in the series will be played in the Zurich Arena, and fans can be sure of plenty of top action when the two arch -rivals clash. Last Thursday night in Huron Park, the College crew took a 3-1 lead in the first period on goals by Bryce Bedore, Don Hewitt and Murray Kerr. Rich Schilbe scored the lone goal for Zurich in the initial stanza. Again in the second period the College six scored twice, on goals by Craig Schwindt and Doug Humphrey, before Paul Corriveau found the range for Zurich. Goals by Don Hewitt and Ian McLellan in the third period gave the College a 6-2 lead before Paul Corriveau scored his second goal of the game and Pat Bedard blinked the red light for the local squad. A total of 16 penalties were called in the game with all of them being of the minor nature. The Zurich team drew only seven to nine for Central- ia. What turned out to be prob- ably the best game of the series was played in the Zurich Arena Sunday afternoon when the two teams met for the seventh and deciding game. In this one the Flyers scored two unanswer- ed goals in the second period, after the two teams had battled on even terms throughout the first 20 minutes. The two Zurich goals were scored by Pat Bedard and Randy Decker, both on beautiful passing plays . The third period was only two minutes old when the Coll- ege appeared on the scoreboard on a fluke goal that bounced up between Glen Gascho's legs in the Zurich net. Two minutes later, however, Rick Schilbe slapped in a pass from Kevin McKinnon and Bob Merner to give the Flyers a two -goal lead again. From that point in the game on the Flyers took compl- ete command of the play as they outskated and outworked the College for the balance of the time remaining. Goals by Brian Campbell, Paul Corr- iveau and Ron Rader added to the margin and gave the locals a 6-1 victory. Both goaltenders came up with spectacular saves through- out the game, and Gascho, in particular, turned aside many shots that were labelled for sure goals. Only eight minor penalties were handedout in the game, with five of them going to the locals and three to the visitors. The best crowd of the season was in attendance. Area people attend lecture in Stratford (by Rev. A.C. Blackwell) A bus load of area people and several car loads attended the lecture given by Dr. Jean Vanier in the Stratford Festival Theatre on March 8. Friends of the mentally retarded were especially interested in hearing this man who has done so much for the care and rehabilitation of handicapped adults. As we listened, we realized that Dr. Vanier was by no mean confined to taking an interest in retarded persons. As he spoke on the subjects of "Poverty, Simplicity, and Hope, it was made very clear that a life career can be made from doing something to alleviate the imp- ossible problems confronting all kinds of unfortunate people. As a society and as individuals we tend to reject people who are less fortunate than outselves and especially when they threaten our own security. The result is that the "Little one is the vounded one. Instead of receiving more help than others he receives less, " The condit- ion that prisoners get into re- veals the culpability of us all." Speaking on "Simplicity", Dr. Vanier compared Canad- ians with their incomes in the thousands of dollars per year with the Haitians with their $270 per family of seven or more - and yet they display just as much happiness as we. He said that even religion is used to bolster up our defences and fears of other people. A religion of love is needed instead of a religion of defence and fear, so that we, by love, open ourselves to others, Speak- ing on "Hcpe, " Dr. Vanier mentioned that Jesus came to bring liberty from the things we fear.

PROCEEDS FOR COMMUNITY BETTERMENT ample. Because of these limit- ations we all have a measure of poverty. "We must learn not to fear our own poverty" and "We must learn to pardon our cons- cious enemies and our 'uncons- cious enemies and begin to love them." Dr. Vanier had just been attending a seminar in Ottawa, in which prisoners from various correctional institutions across Canada had participated with persons of various legal and social service professions. He said that Canada has a high rate of return to prisons after release. Some other countries are showing considerable suc- cess in reducing the number of repeated incarcerations. The occasion for the address was the opening on Sunday, of the new L'Arche residence for mentally handicapped adults in Stratford. Dr. Vanier was instrumental in the founding and promotion of the L'Arche move- ment in France, India, Canada, and elsewhere. Entertainment was provided by a young persons choir, "The Central Connection" from Central United Church in Strat- ford. They led the audience in several numbers such as "Wade in the Water" and "Let There be Peace on Earth." 0 Smile From the Austin Texas American: "She is cited in Who's Who in America, The Inter- national Blue Book (Who's Who in the World), Who's ho in Education, ho's Who among Women and ho's ho in Texas."
