Tei.cher: "Where is the capital of the United States?" Johnny: "Pop says it's loaned out all over the world," Seaforth Legion Sponsored Minor Hockey • (Contributed) The Town of Seaforth can be proud of .many things. There are live churches and schools, a spa- cious, well-equipped park, a thriv- ing business section, and commun- ity centre. These are only a few of the signs of a progressive commun- ity. But everyone knows that the ;people who use the church, store, 3aall, street, or place of amusement, set their tone. The building may be lofty and imposing, but 11 the call - bre of the people within does not rbuatch, there is little reason to Boast. ?he Seaforth Branch of the Cana- an= Legion has been doing its bit towards training sound citizens for the community. For several years we have sponsored a hockey team of young boys. This year they al- most won the championship at Goderich. However, winning a Cup is not the Legions' primary concern in sponsoring these young hockey players. The motto so prominently displayed at the Goderich Arena, told these future citizens of ours a vital truth. At the end of their life when the ''nal score is recorded, the scoreboard will not list their victories or defeats, but how they played the game. The Legion is en- deavoring to accomplish this by training young boys to .play the game manly and honestly. We do not claim to be the only group or persons in town with this object in view. There were other teams and other sponsors. Perhaps as a Legion we are too clannish. On the whole we are inclined, to say little, think a lot, and act to the best of our ability. That is what happened a decade ago when war burst upon us. There was a job to do, and we tool: it on. We played the game, and played it well. In many quarters and in many hearts we are forgotten men now. But we have not forgotten. There is still a game to be played. By giving time and money to a few boys, we hope to instill in them the knowl- edge that good citizenship means playing the game well and in the end, having a free country. One of our comrades, Mr. Bill O'Shea, generously gave of his time in order to train ,the boys. He was a friend and leader whom they could admire and trutt. We hope that by continuing this type of work our boys will always choose a Bill O'Shea as a leader, and not an Adolph Hitler or a Mussolini. It is with pleasure and pride that the Seaforth Legion presents to its community bhis hockey team, made up of boys who will in some mea- sure contribute to the game of life and because of our efforts will play it well. • i�el.e,, tsi;.•,v.
