Walking was pos- sible only with extreme caution and town ereployees, busy since Morning sanding streets, saw their work come to nothing as ice covered the sand almost as soon , as it was put on the sidewalks. Provincial highways were / pass- able, but turns were dangerous and at one time Thursday morn- ing seven cars and trucks were stranded or in the ditch on the turn one mile west of town. Coun- try roads, with their high crowns, • were impassable. DUNCAN CUP GAMES ENTER SECOND ROUND Top Team in Each Group At End of Schedule Will Be Winners. The opening 'schexlule of Duncan Cup bockey was wound up here on Saturday and new the boys go into a second schedule. The committee has decided against a special playoff see des, but will repeat the schedule, the top team in ever group being declar- ed winners. The Maroons took the high -flying Rangers into camp on Saturday by trimming them 4-1. In the first per - nen A. MacLean tallied. In the sec- ond period, A: MacLean again scor- ed' on a lone rush. In the third per- iod, Finnigan scored, to give the Ran- gerst their one -gear. However, -up came- A. MacLean again and, in went the puck. It seemed are though every time MacLean came .up he scored. Those who looked good were Firtni- gate. Dale, Wigg and ,MacLean. C. Pinder refereed. The lowly Blackhawks were eject- ed from the playoffs when they lost • their third straight game. The Black - hawks had a poor team and were giv- en very few good players,. Chesnsy scored the first goal in the first per- iod to start the scoring for the Bruins. In the second period Chesney tallied twice again. Me Blackhawks at tempted a comeback when Brown scored. Soon, however, Chesneyconn- tered one to give the Bruins the game. , . The. Canadiens pulled a surprise by defeating the Beavers 3-1. This vets a fast game. In, the first period John O'Neill put in a uice goal. Then John Moore rushed up and scored to give the Canadiens a 2-0 edge. In the sec- ond period, Moore scored again. The only goal by the Beavers was made by T. McIver. McIver and Hildebrand received penalties. The Beavers., al- though a fast team, seemed outsket- ad and outplayed by the. Canadiens. An argument in the fourth game made the score 'uncertain and it is not yet .k.nown as to whether a goal will or will riot be collated. In the first period no goals were scored. In the second Decaro counted for the Tigers. In the third period MacLean and De - caro scored 'for the Tigers and D. Woods and J. Southgate for the Red- wings. Neer the end of the third per - lode D. Woods shot and scored but the referee and goal judge .differed oni whether or not. the player was in the crease in scaring. A Gemmittee will likely settle the dieputen goal.

British North America Act. INFORMING ADDRESS Sovereignty and loyalty are like the two sides of a coin, obverse and re- verse, said B. K. Sandwell, editor of the Toronto Saturday Night, in a lucid and informing address in the Carnegie Library Hall on Friday evening under the auspices of the Seaforth Lecture Club on the subject, "To What Are We Loyal, Nationalism or Provincial- ism?” 1 . In the course of his,remark.s he re- ferred back to the conditions under which the British North America tet was drawn up. The concept in the minds of its authors of legislation for the 'ho country by a single au- thority that would act for the net' n- al well being and also the ern that arises out of the division of sov- ereign power between the dominion and provincial .goveraments. The kind of country the Fathers of Confederation visioned, is a different country from what the courts haVe made it, be said. "We will show our loyalty by see- ing that the act has power to lune - tion.'' The speaker drew attention to' the main point% in the Act and the var- ious loyalties with which Canadians are ronfronted because of the vast extent ef the Dominion and the dif- ferent races dwelling in it that make it difficult. to govern it and to get the geographical feeling displayed by the English and Scotch., Conditions ref industry and employ- ment cannot be legislated by one prov- ince and dealt with by another. The Dominion government has most of the essentials for Sovereignty but not enough to enable it to function as a national government. "Our country is a young melon but we have made considerable progress. We n'eee cordial relations between ourselves and our fellow Canadians and understanding in the bean of every Canadian, This is increasingly important as the years go by," said the speaker, A hearty vote of thanks *as ten- dered by Elmer D. Bell, president of the club. J. G. Mullen acted as chair- man. • ImpressiveExample Says Fergus Paper The Fergus News -Record comments in a recent edition on the.1937 Alumni year book as follows.: . "We once more thank the Secretary of the Alumni Association of the Sea - forth Collegiate Institute, for a .copy of the "Year Book." This the third copy which we have seen, and it •M- terests us greatly, because it is such an impressive example of a School megazine. This 1937 edition bas 75 pages and' is thigh class in every way and it not only gives school new, but it keeps the former /pupils in touch with what Is going oh. For instance, it contains, plans and description of the addition to the school made nec- essary by the teaching of neeseheld science and mtanual training. As the Collegiate WAS rebuilt some fifty years go, It lacked a gymnasium and sada toritiM, and these. are combined in the second story of' the.neW wing."
