E COMMENTS |
The' trophy races are getting
hotter by the week.
The Spares still hold first place
in the Labatt Trophy semi-finals
although upset 5-2 by the second-
rung Butchers.
Grand Bend bounced into first
place in the Pittsburg Paints
Trophy competition with two
seven-point hauls, victimizing the
Blowers last week and the Hay
Seeds this week.
Four teams will play off for
the Labatt Trophy in the finals,
while six will continue for the
consolation cup. The top two
teams in each group will play
off for the cups in their respec
tive divisions when the finals are
completed.
Correction
Last week we erroneously re
ported Gord Plyley was out of
the Windmills’ lineup. He is very
much there as he proved this
week (701). Mike McPhee is the
missing Windmill.
Pinpopper Problem
The Pinpoppers have been
short-handed ever since Bob Davis
switched to the Whizz Bangs be
cause of unforeseen circumstances
which have kept Joe Ross and
Rudy Gatien absent for the last
three weeks.
Joe has been entertaining audi
tors. Stellar
kegler Gatien
has been flit
ting about the
stage of the
RCAF produc
tion, “Centra
lia Capers”, in

quence. That’s

“Sports in Canada must be re
formed and we in the WOAA gre
going to take the first step by
eliminating “imports” in hockey
and baseball,” Tory Gregg, WO
AA manager, said recently in
Clinton.
Mr. Gregg cited cases of hoc
key teams in this area who this
winter imported players and had
to “fold up” before the season
was over because they couldn’t
meet the expenses asked by these
players.
At the spring meeting of the
WOAA, Mr. Gregg said he will
urge the group to go back to the
“homebrew" type of sport. He
stated a good local athlete was
Bitting ou the sidelines for every
import player that was used.
“Let's go back to the ‘home
brew’ players system where the
fans know each player by name,”
the sport official urged.
Mr, Gregg, who is also OHA
president, said Canada’s defeat to
Russia in the world hockey
tournament was a “disgrace” to
the country. “If we are going to
send a team to world hockey
tournaments, why not send our
best team?” He suggested that
players be picked from all across
Canada, and properly coached, to
send against the European teams.
“Hockey is our national game,
and I think our government
should back the teams we send
into world competition,
Gregg said.

Night School
Terminates
Night school classes which
were conducted at South Huron
District High School during the
winter months, held their last
session on Thursday night.
In place of the “open house”
held in previous years, the mem
bers of each class had the privi
lege of inviting a guest’for the
closing night.
'One interesting class was Mrs.
Owen Amos’ cooking class where
class members and their guests
watched the instructor make
several kinds of cookies which,
with a cup of tea, made a delic
ious lunch for those who attend
ed.
Leathercraft, oil painting, sew
ing and woodworking classes had
interesting displays of work done
during the season.
Most of the classes held a soc
ial hour before disbanding.

as distinguished speakers of the
Scouting movement made a re
port on their sons’ activties for
the past year.
Four new leaders were invest
ed into the troop by H. C. Firth,
Field Commissioner for Western
Ontario. The Centralia Cubs and
Scouts, who a few short years
ago started with four boys and
one leader, now are one of the
strongest groups in ■ the district.
Mr. Fir.th presented the Lead
ership badge, Part 1, to LAC J.
Corless, and the Gilwell Beads to
Cpl. J. Sholea. In presenting the
Gilwell Beads, Mr. Firth made
Cpl. Sholea a member of a se
lect group of Scout Leaders. The
Gilwell Beads originally belong
ed to Chief Dinizula, who was
captured by Baden Powell, the
originator of the Scout move
ment, in the Zulu war.
'Other guest speakers were Mr.
Bryson, Executive Commissioner
fot London distfict, and Mr. Win
ter, District Commissioner for
Huron district.
Mr. Bryson, who has been
with the Scouts for 18 years, re
minded the Scouts and their
fathers that thoughtfulness and
kindness still play a large part
in every day living.

every table, the 177 guests

drunk,” he pleaded, “and I pro

“In this log we write only the

Minor Hockey
Every show must have a grand
finale and the boys in minor
hockey had, their finale in the
form of a bun feed at Centralia
air station. The boys seemed to
enjoy the program and a good
time was had by all.
I would like to thank the ser
vice clubs on behalf of the boys.
Those representatives of the Le
gion, Lions and Kinsmen present
at the banquet could perhaps
see a small part in the value the
boys are receiving through their
generosity, good fellowship and
sportsmanship.
Congratulations^ to the champ
ions. The winners were not ex
pecting crests but, through the
generosity of a group of sports-
minded businessmen, the boys re
ceived a happy surprise when it
was annunced they would.
Group Captain Bean, Wing
Commander Michalski and WO2
Young were responsible for the
banquet. Thank you gentlemen,
and all the other people who
helped make this, our first minor
■minor hockey banquet, a success.
Frank Coleman, in his talk,
expressed his excellent views on
team spirit relating to very in
teresting occasions and happen
ings while playing with New York
Yankees.
Badminton
Centralia air station badmin
ton club played hosts to an en
thusiastic group of badminton
players last Friday night. After
going through the motions for
half an hour or so, with groans
and moans thrown in, everyone
seemed to loosen up considerably
and thereafter enjoyed some very
good competition. As is always
the case, we tend to overdo
everything the first time and
suffer the next day. But it was
fun and anyone wishing to play,
please contact George Kether or
yoUrs truly.
Bowling
Very happy to be asked to
bowl in the men’s bowling league
—a great game and boy what a
league! Twenty-two men’s teams
and, I believe, 17 ladies’ teams.
A great amount of recreation is
wrapped lip in* this one group.
In conversation with the genial
boss of the alleys, Rene Fran
cois, he naturally got around to
boys and girls and the idea hit:
Why not a junior bowling
1 Detail, 6
Here is the result: Any boys
or girls wishing to bowl should
be at the alleys on Saturday,
April 3, at 9:30 a.m. Cost is 25tf
for two games. Boys aud girls
will be shown the fundamentals
of the game and if enough en
thusiasm is shown, teams will be
drawn up for the following Sat
urday.
Broomball
Our league finished on Sunday
and Flight Cadets were crowned
the winners in our first year of
oragnized competition by virtue
of their 1-0 win over the power

the league was Bill McLean of
the Legion, a fellow who has
plenty on the ball.
Congratulations to the win
