It is something unique in this area—an arena the size and ca pacity of the Exeter Arena pre senting a show of this magnitude —but if it is a success, and we know it will be, then you, the public, can be assured of a major presentation such as this at once a year. I reason the way many people do: Why should we to travel to London, Detroit or Toronto to see these good shows and pay double the price we would ordinarily pay in our own arena? At the present time the show is touring the Maritimes and press clippings I have received indicate it is playing to packed arenas every night in Dartmouth, Sydney, Glace Bay to Halifax. The tour brings them back through Quebec to Ontario. The show features three Holly wood Stars — Yvonne Broders, The Flying Windts, (who did their aerial act in the film “The Greatest Show On Earth’’) and Neville Murray, an Australian comedian of fame. The show has 44 top skaters, eight production numbers of 20 acts including eight comedy routines and, for the kiddies, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It’s a two-and-one-half hour show of enjoyable entertainment, a show for the whole famfily. Tickets will go on sale at the arena the week of December 1. A real Christmas present would be reserved seats for the whole family. Minor Hockey The minor hockey schedule commences Saturday, November 21: 8- 9 9- 10 10-11 11-12 1-2 VS.

We had to get grants from the provincial government to buy crests for the champion ship teams this year.” “The O.B.A. has lost all its senior teams and most of its In termediate “A” teams. We have to build up our minor teams to get back on our feet." Mr. Gregg pleaded: “Let's go back to homebrews. Then the O.B.A. and the W.O.A.A. will make money”. The discussion of homebrew talent was made in tribute to the Dashwood Tigers, O.B.A. Inter mediate “D” champions, who were guests of honor at the ban quet, along with the Dashmood Pee Wees, also Ontario champ ions. The intermediate team won the title with all home town players except one—Bob Brown, a pitch er. Sports officials at the banquet praised this feature of the champ ionship. Jim Hayter, chairman of the dinner and a member of the Tigers, agreed that the introduc tion of imports was ruining sport. He said the Dashwood hockey club was forced to withdraw from the Cyclone league because the village couldn’t compete with the imported talent of other clubs. Report From Edgewood By MRS.
