Legion Plans Third
Hockey Night
Last Saturday' saw the start of
the play-offs in Legion hockey.
'here was to have been a game in
both the "A" and "B" Groups, but
due to a Tri -County Bantam Tourn-
ament, held in Wingham, the game
in the "A" group had to be called
off. These two teams will play a
sudden -death game next Saturday.
There was plenty of action in
the "B" group, however, with Tom
Dick's Canadiens coming out on
top by a score of 9 to 1, over Ted
Lamont's Bruins, who were minus
the services of Ken McLlwain, who
was in the hospital. Ken will also
be greatly missed on the Pee -Wee
team that is going to Goderich.
Jim Dick was the big gun for the
Canadiens, with five goals; George
Brown got two, with singles going
to John Patterson and Tom Dick.
Ted Lamont got the only goal
for the Bruins. Terry Ast played
a great game in the nets for the
Bruins. This Saturday will wind
it up for the boys.
There is going to be a night of
Legion hockey on Saturday, when
three games are planned. The first
game will have the Seaforth
Squirts going against Goderich
Squirts, and in the second it will
be Goderich Pee-Wees vs. Seaforth
Pee-Wees.
The final game of the night will
bring the Legion Oldtimers to, bat-
tle again. This will be split into
Wit) teams—the Air Force and
Navy vs. the Array, for the cham-
pionship. Since it has been ruin -
mired that the Air Force and
Navy have ,been practising for the
game, outstanding competition can
be anticipated.

DUBLIN PEOPLE VISIT TORONTO
TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Dublin's St. Patrick's Reunion
party, held in Toronto Friday eve-
ning, was an unqualified -success,
according to the many from the
district who attended the event.
Despite inclement weather, there
was an exceptionally large at-
tendance, those in charge said, and
the concensus was that the affair
should be held annually.
If there was any criticism of the
arrangements, it was that an ef-
fort had been made to crowd too
much into one evening, it was in-
dicated. There just wasn't time
for the 110 people who were pres-
ent, and many of whom had not
met others for some time, to pro-
perly' visit and renew acquaint-
ances in the time available.
The following attended: Mr. and
Mrs. Ferg Stapleton, Mr. and Mrs.

ney and Mona Sloan, Mr. Gerald

Blenheim Protests;
Tries To Bar K. Be
Blenheim Bobcats. defenders of
the W.O.S.S.A. "B" hockey cham-
pionship. who were defeated by
Seaforth Golden Bears 13-5, in Sea -
forth. have found a 'technicality in
the constitution of W.O.S.S.A. and
are protesting against Kevin Bell,
well-known Junior "B" hockey
player.
The rule urs',., Ahich Blenheim
is protesting was framed to pre-
vent players of Junior "B" classifi-
cation playing school hockey, then
returning to their original school
at the end of the Junior "B" ser-
ies.
Kevin Bell resided in Seaforth
for a full year before playing for
Seaforth District High School, al-
though he did not atierd anyscrod
that year. No rule in the constitu-
tion covers the case of a pupil
who transfers but drops out of
school for one year. Although jun-
ior hockey in Seaforth has been
over for six weeks or more. he is
still attending school in Seaforth
and intends to stay there next
term, although he will not be elig-
ible for Junior "B" hockey. This
proves that Kevin Bell is not the
type of player the W.O.S.S.A. con-
; stitution intends to bar from com-
petition.

The Canadian organization was'
established in 1951 - to Pacicae
goods imported from Etiglooti for
Canadian distriluitiOh. Demand
has increased to a pomt that made
necessary provision of manufac-

The organization plans to oper-

While until now. the company has
concentrated in plastic toys, a
large line of plastic household it-
