An article written by John
Wild, son of Mr. and Mrs. Har-
old Wild, appeared in the Janu-
ary issue of "Tam-O-Gram",
the monthly publication of the
Tam O'Shanter Country Club at
Agincourt.
The article was on the"pow-
er skating course" being taught
at hockey school by figure ska-
ters. John, a figure skating
pro, had been taking part in
this venture which has received
praise from professional hockey
players and hockey instructors
who were at first dubious about
figure skaters teaching hockey
players to skate.
During the first year that
Bruce Hyland, director of the
Tam O'Shanter Hockey School,
directed such a school, he not-
ed that instructors devoted
their time to teaching passing,
shooting, checking and stick
handling. Skating technique
was left to the player's choice.
John says, "Some players
found a good technique, but
most did not and many students
who became accomplished at
the other skills did not become

good skaters and never produc-
ed well in the game.
"By studying the game Mr.
Hyland deducted that a hockey
player needed the speed of a
speed skater and the agility,
balance and control of a fig-
ure skater. With the assistance
of John Rodway, a figure skat-
ing professional on the Metro-
politan Ice Skating School staff
who had also been a competi-
tive speed skater, Mr. Hyland
developed a program of skat-
ing instruction for the hockey
school.
"This was the beginning of
power skating. Power skating
has been developed greatly by
the power skating staff and a
great deal of thought and study
is directed each year to improv
ing his already highly success-
ful power skating program.
"One of the points stressed
is the daily routine of a 45-
minute power skating class,
obligatory to all participants
of the school."
The writer says the best pro-
motion has been the great im-
provement in both skating and
playing ability of those who
have attended the school.
Mr. Hyland was interviewed
between periods at Saturday
night's hockey game in the
Maple Leaf Gardens and John,
with four young hockey players
demonstrated skating techni-
ques in power skating.

Barn Saved in
Monday Storm
The Wingham Fire Depart-
ment was called to the farm of
George Walker on the 12th of
East Wawanosh about 11 o'-
clock Monday morning.
A fire started when a tractor
backfired and ignited stored hay
and straw as Howard Walker at-
tempted to start the machine.
He was about to assist the driv-
er of one of Bartliff s bread
trucks to get his vehicle back
on the road, which bad be-
come stranded in the storm.
Mr. Walker, his son Howard
and the truck driver managed
to keep the blaze under con-
trol while Mrs. Walker sum-
moned help. With the assist-
ance of a very helpful tele-
phone operator several neigh-
bors were called to the scene
and the township grader opera-
tor was secured by Clarence
Hanna to move the burning
straw from the building.
Through the combined ef-
forts of the firemen and others
who assisted, damage to the
barn, tractor and feed was not
extensive.

BELMORE—Guess our mouths
were a little too large last week
with all the boasting we did
about our excellent hockey-
playing Midgets. They played
one game in the Tri-County
schedule last week and one
exhibition game, in both cases
coming out on the losing end.
On Wednesday evening the
Gorrie team travelled to our
fair village to slaughter the

were Alan Ritchie with three,
and Hugh Leeson, Don Wool-
cock, and Danny Montgomery
with one each. The exhibition
game was with Brussels in that
town on Friday evening, the

team, don't let a few wins go
to your handsome heads; get
back in there and show us what
you can do I
