Saturday mor­ ning at the Arena, the young lads were treated to some thrill­ ing sport movies by the Free Press and Bill Cochrane intro­ duced the lads to George Shaw, who besides managing the In­ termediate entry, has offered to give the boys the benefit of his experience. Besides that Lion gestion to the club of an outdoor rink in Arena was unanimously and, if arrangements completed, this will be These two moves will the good work started by John­ny fthude and Jack Whilsmith from last year and will give the young hockey players the chance they have waited time. With the Arena •a wide area as it meant in the past gested timetable and it has been the younger puckchasers who have had to suffer. The result has been that Exeter has never been 'able to sponsor a contend, ing midget or juvenile club in minor hockey. Last year, however, the boys were taken in hand, teams were ■organized and the result was that Exeter’s future hockey ta­ lent showed a great deal of pro­ mise. Now, under the capable eye of George Shaw and the ex­ tra hours the outdoor rink will provide, they should ever make bigger strides.

Of T. of representative—Mr. bertson, Goderich; presentative—M r. bridge, Woodham. Main resolutions that the convention recommend to the government in power that all members of the Legislature be any the our ing passed were absolutely free to vote in proposed law that affects moral and social welfare of people, without fear of be- read out of the party or without censure of any kind from their leaders. It was fur­ ther recommended that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the leader of the opposition, and the leader of other parties in the legisla­ ture. This was so moved by Mr. Medd, ex-M.L.A., of Exeter. Also added to the resolution wag the fact that Huron County Temperance IF'ederation views with alarm the increase in auto­ Ontario policy of liquor uncon­ trolled when the record shows that over half of all traffic acci­ dent fatalities are due to drink­ ing. Therefore, the Federation requested the Attorney-General’s Department to seek amendments to the Criminal Code for stiffer penalties for those found under the influence of liquor but not necessarily intoxicated, and in charge of a motor car. In the youth public contest, Ted Howell of won the silver cup with his ad­ dress on "Drinking and Driv­ ing’’. Miss Betty Medley also of Goderich, was .a- close contender speaking on "Youth and Alco­ hol". Gary Cooper of Clinton was also a speaker. The guest speaker, Dr. C. L. Cowan of Hamilton, stated that the day is fast approaching when all men must face the issues of the hour. He asserted 'time and •again that we must stand up and be counted. Surely, he said, if anything has come out of .hell itself, it is liquor, and t-he manufacturers of it would be in hell to hear the thud of drunken bodies hitting the pavement. As ■long as the power of Ontario is in the hands of the brewers and distillers, it makes little differ­ ence what party -is in power. Christian men must stand up and be counted no .matter to what church, or denomination they belonged, the speaker con­ cluded. mobile .accidents. The Government’s control is very much night There games, mixed with some poorer ones. The league-leading Hot Shots again had an excellent evening, completely out-classing the Cel­ lar Rats. Their three game total was 343 7, against a three game total of 2536 for Don Traquair’s team. Harold Wolfe, with a 260 game and Doug Brintnell with a 242 led the Hot Shots, while Captain Traquair with 204 and Ken Cudmore with 192 were the highest individual scorers for Cellar Rats. The Hot Shots col­ lected all seven possible points from the Cellar Rats. In the match between the Butchers and the Whizz Bangs, the meat men sliced five points from Bud Preszcator’s team. Only in the first game did the Whizz Bangs edge out Fred Darling and his crew—1043 to 1029. Ken Hockey kept up his fine average for the Butchers by rolling a 3 09, while Captain Darling ran second with a 251. Irvine Armstrong with 240 and Norm Walper with 229 were highest for the Whizz Bangs. In the last set of the evening, the Big Six proved no match for the Pinpoppers, losing all seven points. The Pinpoppers turned in a fairly creditable total score for the evening—3306 as against 2675 for the cellar dwelling Big- Six. Doug Pryde was high man for the Pinpoppers with 267, while 'Bob Davis ran a close se­ cond with 251. Bob the highest average Best ’ • - - Fred Bob high Ken Hockey led all bowlers Nicol had with 219.
