NOVEMBER 28, I973 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 5 Sports. Slants = continued The Rangers - I picked them for third spot - are finally winning games and so are Detroit Red Wings, the team I picked for last place.

He said the two-degree reduction would not cause discomfort to students or teachers but would result in a significant saving of fuel oil. The majority of Ontario's schools are oil heated.
