First Game
Banging in four goals before
two goals and Martin one to coinhockey committee, welcomed the
teams to Goderich.
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.
The third period saw Blake and
Stoddart grab another goal apiece
for the visitors, with McPhail get-
ting Goderich's third and last goal.

DRMCO HOCKEY TEAM
HONORED AT BANQUET
Members of the Dominion Road
Machinery Company's hockey team
s held a banquet on Thursday even-
* of last week at the British
Exchange Hotel. Members of last.
year's hockey team as well as
members of the current team at-
tended.
Mr. John K. Sully, General Man-
ager of the Company, was guest
of honor. He complimented the
players on their sportsmanship and
their showing during league play
the past two winters.
Arrangements for the banquet
were under the able direction of
Bob- Jeffery; team manager; - and -
Frank Young, captain of the
hockey team.
! 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.
He blurted them, out:

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.

It was 20 years ago, around two o'clock
on --•-the morning of .April _ 4, 1933, that the
smallest player in modern National Hockey
League history, darted past the big defen-
sive outposts, and whistled home the goal
that ended the longest game played in or-
ganized hockey up to that time—a 1-0 vic-
tory for Toronto Leafs, over Boston Bruins in a Stanley Cup
playdown series final, after 106 minutes, 46 seconds of extra
time, with the sixth overtime period underway.
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.
