The following letter was handed
to us by Legion Sports Officer
Frank Sills, Jr.', and is self explana-
tory:
Dear Lee -Hee: -
Jus+t a thank -you note for your
advertising of the Legion sport
notesapd a few more comments on
future kvents for this winter.
Firs t° of all, last Friday in Wing-
hame we entered three hockey
team* in the W.O.A.A, with the.
idea in mind that we might give
some sport to the older hockey
players of the town,and especially
some organized recreation for the
younger generation. The three
teams are Intermediate, Juvenile
and Midget.
Those of Bantam and Pee -Wee
age will be well taken care of by
the local six -team Duncan Cup ser-
ies. Mr. W. J. Duncan has kindly
let the Legion put his trophy up
for competition, and also added a
promise of a banquet for the win-
ning team. On behalf of the kids
of this town, the Legion would like
to thank Mr. Duncan for his inter-
est in their welfare and assure him
that It is greatly appreciated.
We should also like to thank Mr.
Frank Sills, Sr., for his gift of two
dozen hockey sticks for the Inter-
mediate and Juvenile teams.
Sponsoring a team or teams can-
not be done for nothing and there
are many expenses, such as sweat-
ers and socks, gasoline, advertising,
referees, tape, sticks, and: even the
lowly orange and gum enter the
picture.
As this is our first major venture
in hockey, the personal equipment
of the players, such as pads and
pants, will mainly have to be sup-
plied by themselves. We have
gratefully received some equipment
from the Athletic Association which
will almost equip a third of a team,
but more is necessary. We were
wondering if it might not be aug-
mented in the following way:
In almost 'every attic in town
there are an old pair of hockey
gloves, shoulder pads, or some
piece of hockey equipment that has
been gathering dust for the last
few years, _Mother dusts them off
every Spring, threatens to throw
them out and thea relents, think-
ing that some one will use them
sone day.
Well, folks, if you would like to
see them in use, the Legion can
certattly'help you. We would glad-
ly take them off your hands,. re-
pair them, and give you assurance
that when an athletic director is
appointed we will hand them over
to his keeping to -be-••used in con-
junction with our new Community
Centre.
Just drop the equipment in at
Sills' Hardware, or phone 56 and
we'll come around and pick it up.
It doesn't matter what it is. Your
co-operation would he greatly ap-
preciated and would be a great
boon to the community spirit of
our Local and District Memorial
Centre.
Good-bye now, Lee -bee, and
thanks again for valuable space in
yuur. column.
r'KANK SILLS, Jr.,
Sports Officer, Branch 156.
Sport fans at this time of year
want hockey. Well, there are at
least two essentials needed. First,
ice; second, hockey equipment.
Now in regard to the first men-
tioned. one just has to look around
these past few weeks—yes, days
even—to realize more than ever
artificial ice is the answer. We Fay,
get artificial ice in the new Cen-
tre now! This December alone has
been your advertisement if players
and fans alike want hockey for the
winter months. We ask, what
would be a 'better Christmas gift
than a contribution to the New
Centre—it wouldn't be just for one
