Plenty of opportunity for skaters on the lakes, rivers, creeks and ponds, too! Write the Director of Winter Sports, Parliament Build­ ings, Toronto, for information. Main highways throughout the 'province are usually kept in good shape during the winter months. Every year thousands of visitors enjoy our Ontario Holidays— LET’S MAKE THEM WANT TO COME BACK! i THE MILD WEATHER has really thrown a dampei* on dist­ rict hockey, with the result that the regular schedule has been knocked for a loop.* # In this group of the W.O.A.A. two doubleheaders at the Arena have been cancelled, while a sin­ gle game in Seaforth has been called oil’. The only tilt played so far has been the opening doubleheader on January 3 when the Exeter crew had a tough time edging the eager Dashwood team, while Lucan and Dublin ended in a draw at the end of overtime.* * District fans as yet haven’t seen the Centralia .Flyers in ac­ tion. Their lone game scheduled at home against Mitchell was cancelled. If the cold spell set­ ting in as we write this Tuesday morning keeps up up it is poss­ ible by the time you read this that the Flyers may have opened the season at home Wednesday night against the Goderich “A” entry.* >h * * LAST WEEK it was reported ■that hoodlums had broken into the -cellar at the Arena by smashing in a panel of the door. Besides that, the telephone was removed. Mr. Goodwin, manager of the district Bell, informed us that twice the lock to the change drawer had been tampered with and the company has found it necessary to remove the phone.* * * Such vandalism jjiakes you stop and wonder. The Arena was built so that this community could have an up-to-date recrea­ tional centre. It took a good deal of effort by those who pro­ moted the scheme. Then, to think that a few scatterbrains should carry on in this manner.# # These are but a few instances. Ralph Batten, the Arena care­ taker, tells us that he is con­ tinually replacing bulbs deliber­ ately smashed out. Then, when the public address system w%s fixed this fall, it was found that two of the speakers were dis­ connected because someone had cut the wires. •♦ * * * The Board" has been investi­ gating the possibility of adding extra seating capacity at the north end of the ice surface and other improvements, but such unnecessary expenses are only hindering these benefits to everyone. Last year, as it was, if there had not been a small balance from 1947, the finances of the Arena would have been in the red. ■- FORTUNE SMILES on those who use WANT ADS.

Exeter edged the home team Monday night by the score of 5- 4 in a thrilling game. As a “C” team Dashwood gave Exeter a battle royal and the boys felt the ' game should have 'been theirs had the referees not been so tipsy. .Rough man Bob Hayter was the IDashwood bad man, having two penalties. After hockey practice in Exe­ ter on Thursday, December 30, the players held a meeting in the dressing room. Nominations were as follows: Manager, Mil­ ton Webb; assistant manager, Wallace Wein; coach, Jim Hay­ ter; captain, L.

It seems that whenever the Pin­ poppers really need some points, they -have to run into the Cel­ lar Rats and, by the time the shooting is over, are lucky to come out” with their skins, let alone any points. Just about everyone of the Pinpoppers is in a slump (the worst one being yours truly). Evidently the first half of the season’s high games were too much, and we can’t ^tand prosperity. However, Don Traquair’s men were not to be denied and rightly earned the seven points. Ken C u d m o r e ■bowled nicely all evening (his high single was 250). Gord Cud- more was second with 220 for the Cellar Rats. Ray Wuerth had the best game for >■ the Pin­ poppers—a 249 effort. Si Creech was absent from the Pinpopper line-up with a touch of flu. In the game bowled on Alleys 5 and 6, the Hot Shots and But­ chers met, and another startling upset occurred with the But­ chers slicing seven points from the Shots. It seems as if the Hot Shots had a very disgusting evening (to hear them talk), but as Butcher Captain Fred Darling put it, “We on tonight.” Captain his team with 26 6, Hockey kept up in with one game of Brintnell had some good games, the best being 273, while was Glenn Robinson’s high gle.
