This was the first loss the Beavers had suffered• in seven games. It was a good fast game, munch different from the two previous games in Goderich this winter, when the ice was covered with 'water. There were jest 10 penalties banded out, -and no free -for -alis, Goderich getting six, while the Beavers drew four. A sign, at the rink warned.' the people to Ieave their cabbages and pumpkins at home, but the fans up there be- have better when winning, and only two' articles, were tthadwn on the ice.

From this stage of the period the Beavers made it much tharder for them and with "dung to the cooler, "Smoky" Harris broke away from, fits own goal to score one of the nicest goals of tee season, lifter stickthandldng his way through the Goderich beam. Some fast skating was seen in the remain- ing alis minutes of the period, when the Beavers tried everything to beat Doak, but he turn -ed them out. Young received tl:e' •ono pentalty of the per- iod- The second period was fast and• tiers/ fought all the way, both teams watching their defense and taking ad- vantage of every opportunity to break away.

There Tate news carne through the air the other day that 11. J. Deachman, once of Calgary, but now member of parliament representing an Ontario constituency, might be taken into the King government, in the reorganiza- tion that is overdue, says W. M. Day" idson, writing hr the Albertan of Cal- gary. Since then one slain has been anade of Ontario ministers, with the appointment of a member who at one time resided in Medicine Hat, but the rearrangement apparently, -is not yet: complete. To many Albertans the appointment of Mr. Deachtman would be very welcome for three very d'e'fin- ite reasons. They would be pleased for personal reasons, for the has many • friends in Alberta, and his -promo- tion Would be the advancement; of a good neighbor wibose ability had been recognized The second reason would he that they know he is better equipped by training and temperament for a cab- inet position than any other private member i.n•tbe House. He represents an Ontario riding, but he knows west- ern Canada better than most mem- bers. He understands western condi- tions, the soil, the crops, the prob- lems, thea•pelople, the prairie life. It would be like 'having another cabinet minister for Alberta or British C!,dtum- bia. The third reason is that the is an outand-opt Liberal without con promise of qualification, of. the Dr. Michael Clarke or Sir Rit;hard "Cart- .ShtiWM4±lN.•4fl4 weight kind and a thoroughgoing pro gressivr'. Snell an appointment would be a refreshing breath to a cabi.r,et that is a bit too conventional. If Calgary had not such rapid shift in population, it wotild not be neces- sary to say anything about ...'Bob Deachman by way of introduction, for there was a time when:everyone knew him. He edited a trade journal, pub• listed for business men, but it had only a limited circulation and that was only a small part of his 'active life. He is a student, a writer, a speaker, an agriculturist, an econom- ist, a humorist, an all round good cit- izen. 1e will be remembered by the Nut Cracker, the luncheon club and for his 'interest in affairs, political, Mum icipal and local. The Nut Cracker was a weekly paper of comment wthicth was started by Mr. Deachman, . Wil- liam Irvine, Alex. Rose and Jack Ford. It was one 0' the most penetrating journals of criticism that ever saw the light of day. How Calgary kept its foundations with two such papers as the Nut Cracker and She Eye Op- ener going the same time- and they were unlike in most ways --is difficult to undensta.ndt The trouble was that the Nut Cracker was, too brilliant and went the way of papers that are stronger On comment than- on internal revenue.
