VOL. 84, NUMBER 29 Saturday, January 26th until February 2nd will be celebrated across Canada, from the forests of Newfoundland to the shores of British Columbia, as minor hockey week. The purpose and objectives of minor hockey week are to publicize the advantages a boy gets by participating in an organized hockey pro- gram, and chiefly an effort to encourage parental in- terest in minor hockey. Sure, there are a great many advantages to any boy participating in a hockey program. He learns to treat with others his own age and size on equal terms, how can any boy bully another when the one who’s bullied can lay the bullier flat with a good hon- est body check? A boy learns that rules are made to be obeyed, an infraction of a rule can bring a stoppage of play or even some time to reflect on sins in a penalty box. It’s a lesson that can be adapted to laws of all types. A young hockey player learns to respect the rights of others, he learns to take a bump and give one back in the spirit of the game. Then he learns to shake hands and congratulate the opponent when the fray is over. He also learns that anyone with a hot-shot complex doesn’t get too far in a team sport, he has to learn co-operation with, by and for the good of the team as a unit. All good things to learn in a life that is, at best, a competitive thing from the cradle to the grave. Minor hockey is one of the biggest operations in the country, with some 160,000 boys participating in Canada. The Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Associa- tion has 800 boys enrolled which makes it one of the bigger operations. Everyone connected with minor hockey in Richmond Hill is working in hockey be- cause (a) he likes kids and (b) he likes hockey. There just isn’t any (c) because they all work for_no_thing. Maybe he never was a great hockey player, chances were against his getting a break when he was the age of his young charges. He never profess- ed to be a brilliant hockey statistician, but by golly, he’s learning in an awfully big hurry! He can tape a stick or an ankle with equal facility, advise on whether or not skates need sharpening, can admin- ister a talking to when it is needed and can console a sometimes almost inconsolable small bundle of hu- manity when things are rough. Yes sir â€" a minor hockey official has to be quite a guy! There’s an awful lot of work connected with run- ning a. hockey program for 800 boys. Arranging fin- ances, drawing-up schedules, drafting rules, arrang- ing for officiating and player registrations are only a few of the very necessary chores that somebody has to do. That somebody is most often a parent â€" a parent who doubles in brass as a coach, manager, convenor, statistician and referee, a member of the executive and quite often as chauffeur: The old slogan of minor hockey has been dragged out and dusted off for use during this special week â€"â€" “DON’T SEND â€" TAKE YOUR BOY TO THE ARENA.” It may be getting slightly shopworn and becoming something of a cliche, but it couldn’t sum up the feeling of minor hockey week any better were it written by Shakespeare, It all boils down to this. If you go out and see a few of the minor hockey games you might find your- self getting very, very interested. When the interest is really strong you’ll find that the people who run minor hockey aren’t an exclusive fraternity or a clique. If you offer your help you’ll be just as wel- come as the flowers in May and be tied up with an active group of citizens who literally knock them- selves out on the kids’ behalf. And so a tip of the hat and a big thanks to all those who operate minor hockey in Richmond Hill. May this minor hockey week be accepted not only as a publicity vehicle for hockey but as a tribute and a. thanks to you for a job well done â€" in the past, right now and in the future!

Both Nerlichs being ardent golfers that’s hardly a brilliant deduction. While we shiver they’ll be basking in the warm Mediterranean sun and surrounded by a sky so blue that the sea and the horizon blend into a big blue bowl.
