October 20 OCTOBER IS SAFETY MONTH Rasa ae : mo pel od a! LOOK CS Al and lessen accidents KIMBERLY-CLARK SAFETY SLOGAN PROGRAM Last week two persons missed the weekly safety slogan and the silver dollar awards. The five win- ners were Jack Rigelsford, John Morris, Ernie St. Louis, Jim Clancy and Peter Christie. We often hear the phrase "We do not SEE the forest for the trees". This is so true in safety for we do not always take time to SEE what hazards may be present before starting a job,but think about the problems we would have to do any job if we lose our sight. Remember this week's safety slogan! GOGGLES ARE TO PROTECT MY EYES NOT MY CAP.

Over 100 minor hockey players attended a meeting last week in preparation for the coming season. The meeting, chaired by Joe Adamo, dealt with ways and means to improve the minor hockey program this year. Each boy promised to take at least one parent to the annual minor hockey meeting on Thursday, October 20th. The last couple of years has shown a marked de- cline in interest and unless something constructive is done this year the chances are that minor hockey will suffer again. When you consider the many new avenue of oppor- tunity that the N.H.L. expansion will open, parents , should show more interest in minor hockey program- ing and development. Not many communities have facilities like ours for minor hockey. Proper supervision and program- ing with such facilities can't help but produce better than average hockey players. The demand for this calibre of player will make available many oppor- tunities for education and commerce. The development of hockey in the United States, following the N.H.L. expansion will result in a scarcity of hockey material. Hockey Magazine promises a great future for our present minor hockey players. So, parents, why don't you do your part in our minor hockey program. Please attend the annual meeting on October 20th at 7 p.m. in the large meeting room of the Recreation Centre.
