Dangerous
The current, hockey craze in the Cy
clone league area, caused by the growth of
artificial Ice arcn.ns, is healthy for the spirit
of eommunities. The trend towards Import”
Ing more and more, players from other cen
tres is dangerous, however,
Towns will only Im defeating the pur
pose of artificial ice if this continues for
many years. The ice is there for the reerca-
Hon of local youth, not for plnyery from all
over the country who stay for one season
only,
Considerable lime and effort should be
spent, by communities in developing the hoc
key ability of minor age boys, Sometimes
this is being forgotlen in the great race to
make the arenas pay big profits.
To curl nil the aetivitles of local boys
so that outside teams may play here is sub
vide in the long run, Minor hockey and skat
ing is far more. Important than any other
phase of the arena’s operation.

Letter To Editor
Pleasure Not Publicity
I am sure whoever turned in
such a report accusing The Times-
Advocate for not publishing
visits, was very unkind. I really
believe so many like ourselves,
decide in a hurry, and especially
taking advantage of the nice
weather, to take a few days off
for pleasure Dot publicity.
As we have told different ones,
they would have a life job keep
ing up with us as we are one
happy family and have no time
to grumble. Life is too short.
I still have a warm spot in
my heart for dear old Exeter,
which no one can take from me.
Maybe a little investigating
would be a good idea. It could be
a false report, or should I say
reporter? Seems rather childish
to me. —F. E. Tucker
