Once again two of the hardest and most able workers around the arena are Lions "Nip" Whetstone and Guy Emerson, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the week of hockey.. To them went the task of organizing the affair again this year, getting entries from the various centres, seeing that a sche- dule was drawn up and that the youngsters were well looked after during their stay in Goderich. Although teams battled most of the day and the playoff game was held Monday night, no winner was declared in the "C" division with the two finalists, Milverton and Lucknow, ending up in a 1-1 tie. They were re -scheduled to plete Elmira's scoring in the sec- ond frame, with Beacom getting, Goderich's second marker.

On the ,whole, so far as the run- of-the-mill goods or rfecessities are concerned people in town seem pretty well satisfied with what local stores offer for sale. Strong exceptions to this seemed to be where women's and child- ren's clothing were concerned. Opinions also showed that local consumers found special goods', odd sizes, new style and color trends were scarce in town. Merchants Reluctant They expressed the idea that. merchants were reluctant to risk stocking__-thesc.__._things__andonce having tried local stores, they turned to larger shopping centres where they found exactly what they wanted. As far as clothing was concern- ed, We found that the women want more variety in style. They don't want to meet their new dress on the street before they have a chance to wear it. And they ex- pressed a lack of better quality and more tailored clothes. Work= ing girls especially thought there was a lack of hard wearing and good looking clothes, suitable for then' everyday needs. Much the same opinion was stated with regard to children's clothing. There was a strong feel- ing against frilly and fussy child= "ten's clothing in favor of the 'more three forty-nine! tailored and hard-wearing articles. The men didn't have too many complaints at all. ,� They seemed to feel that there was a variety to suit most of their needs in OPINIONS OF TOWN SHOPPERS THURSDAY. 'APRIL 9t1. 1853 CALLING ALL OMEN!

A man was discovered by his - wife one night standing over his 1 baby's crib. Silently she washed him. As he stood ' looking watched at the sleeping infant, she saw in his face a mixture of emotions-- rapture, doubt, admiration, des- pair, esctasy„incredulity. Touched and wondering alike at this un- usual parental attitude and the conflicting emotions the wife with eyes glistening arose and slipped her arms around him. "A penny for your thoughts,” she said,, in. a voice tremulous.

E.HIB'ERT & -SON one 86 1.4 Goderich Glamour Attracts One person expressed the opin- ion that it was the glamour of a large shopping centre that attract- ed local consumers rather than the merchandise they found there. In other words, the label that went with the article was worth the buying trip away from home. Another felt that more attractive displays of goods in stores would attract local buyers and make them more content to shop „at home. Yet another felt that 'there- was good quality merchandise in town, but they didn't ever know about them until the stores, in desper- ation because they weren't' selling, put them on a bargain counter or had a sale where the goods were advertisedfor what they really represented in quality. 'Special Orders The majority of those we talked to definitely affirmed the fact that if ,wjahribioey wanted was available in (MN through special orders of the merchants, they would be will- ing to cover any extra cost It mighf entail to buy that merch- andise in town, providing that extra cost was reasonable. In such a case, where a merchant did put through a special order for a customer, she found that her purchase -was even then more reasonable in cost than in the larger centre where she had been accustomed to buying the article. Very small people, tall people or those with extra inches around the middle' seem" to , have the big- gest problems when it comes to shopping for clothes in town. How- ever, if their sizes could be special- ly' ordered in a style which they foundand. liked in .local stores, it was felt that they would be only too glad to patronize local stores. Want The Best We found out one thing, that the women of the town are exact- ing. They don't just buy what's there. If they want something for a special purpose, they don't want to be talked into a substitute. If they're willing to pay for a fairly high ',tpricedarticle, they don't want second best and it's doubtful if they n take second best just to keep the business in town. e advantage of.

There has since been one longer game, the epic 1-0 battle • between Montreal Maroons and Detroit Red Wings, that lasted until 2.25 o'clock on the morning of March 25, 1936, when the teams battled 116 minutes 30 seconds of overtime before the Red Wings won. But for sheer drama, for a story -book finish` that • no Hollywood script writer could excel, that long 1933 struggle packed the most spine -tingling finish of any such marathon duel, in any sport. For tiny Doraty, who stood little more than 5 feet 6 inches in height, carried only 132 pounds on his diminutive frame, the smallest player in the League, was the pygmy who broke up the battle. Dozens of scoring thrusts had failed to pierce the armour of Tiny Thompson in the Boston nets, and dozens more had been foiled" by Lorne Chabot, Toronto custodian when lanky Andy Blair teamed With the tiny Dbraty to Post the - Whine's only goal. The sixth overtime period had barely started when Blait was sent to pay special attention to the great Eddie Shore, pivot of the Bruin offensive corps. The former University of Manitoba star checked the great defenceman twice as he tried to -break away. On his third attempt Shore batted the puck ahead of him—right on Blair's stick. In Aw_l o_.ong. strides_ Andy_ crossed the blue -line into Brain territory. He sidestepped Shore, and as the Boston rearguard swung around to jab at the puck, Blair shot it ahead to Doraty, streaking for the net. The winger nailed it in his stride and skated in on Thompson to fire into a corner of the net. Varied proposals to end the game after 100 minutes over- time had been played failed. The players were so tired and attacks lacked steam to a degree when President Frank Calder of the N.H.L. asked managers Art Ross of Boston and Conny Smythe of Toronto to flip a coin and decide the Issue. Both refused. Then Calder suggested the goal -tenders be taken out of the game to facilitate scoring the winning goal. The mane-' ager couldn't see that idea. - - "To a finish" was finally ruled. And the finish oeme with dramatic impact just four minutes and 46 seconds after re- sumption of play.
