Hockey Notes ; Gorrie's winning hockey team faces an acid test this Friday night when they play the fast Blyth sextet in the Wingham Arena: It is expected many local fans will acompany the boys and see the Chapman-led forces make an effort to extend their winning streak to four games. The locals will be without their star centre-player, Harry Brown, for this game. That is not Brown’s fault, and . the blame can be laid on the weather and the roads. Gorrie has plenty of man power and will make Blyth hus- ' tie. Listowel play their return game in Gorrie next Wednesday, Feb. 5th, and as this is the final game in the group schedule, a lot depends on the out come. ST.

It will be remembered that prior to leaving for his home in England where it was his wish to spend Christmas with his parents, he had his left thumb accidentally taken off while engaged .in sawing wood, and which was the cause of his untimely death, for blood-poison and later lockjaw set in. Mr. Phillips, who was in his 24th year, was in Canada five years and eight months during which he was a valued employee of Mr. John Cathers for over three years and the remaind er of his stay in Canada with Mr. Robt. McLaughlin. Having purchased his ticket before the accident happened, the' pleadings of his employer to* remain Until his hand,, was recovering, proved of ho' avail, and Mr. Phillips left here on Nov. 27, sailing from Quebec Nov. 29. Upon arrival at his home a doc tor was immediately called and he Was rushed to a hospital where he passed away on Dec. 13/ He leaves his sorrowing parents, George and Sarah Phillips, four sis ters and three brothers, all at hotne at Woodcftufch, to mourn, as well- as a host of friends in this community. Mr, Phillips was a regular attendant of the Anglican Church. Interment was made at his home at WoOdchutch Parish.

The ice already towers over the docks at Queenston and Lewiston, on op- positc sides of the river, it is stated by members of-the United States bor der patrol at Lewiston. A jam ex tends above the Falls from the edge of the American falls to Port Bay, and. below a great bridge of ice has formed that stretches from the foot of the Horseshoe .Falls to the Am erican side. While the flow of water over the Canadian falls is still strong- only a comparatively small stream is falling over the American side. Con- tinuance of the jam, result of the re cent cold wave and prolonged stor-ms, may mean the destruction of valuable property all along both sides of the river, border patrol members say. In the face of this tremendous upheaval, forces of men are powereless; they can only end itself done. In complete freeze-up of the American falls, and the Jam at Lewiston in 2. watch and hope for it to before any great damage is (1) is shown the almost stood it was a very good game.
