PAGE 10 Recreation News - cont'd from page 5 both of the Terrace Bay Lacrosse teams travelled to Manitouwadge for a game. We lost both games - 5 to 3 and 7 to 3. This Friday evening, Manitouwad- ge will be playing in Terrace Bay arena starting at 7.30 p.m. Spectators are welcome - come out and see this game which is new to Terrace Bay. It is simi lar to hockey, involving the same speed and number of skills. A small admission charge will be made to help offset the cost of hiring a bus to take our boys to the game in Manitouwadge, since we had such a disappointing response to our appeal to parents to assist with transportation. From 31 Lacrosse players, only one car was offered for the trip. Does Terrace Bay no longer support their children in their activi- ties?

Mrs. Charlotte Ross spent a few days visiting with Marge Lundberg and friends recently. Mr. and Mrs. G. Artist visited with Marge and Sax Lundberg before journeying on around the Circle Route and back to Fort William. Marge Lundberg visited in Toronto with her two daughters, Mrs. W. Ireland and family, and Karen While there, word was received that George Mait- land had recently been undergoing surgery and was convalescing at home. Marge and Aggie Sinkins spent an evening together with Aggie's sister, Mrs. Annie Graham. Aggie sends back her best wishes to all her old friends in Terrace Bay. Mrs. Betty Sweet, formerly of Terrace Bay, now residing in Duncan, B.C. has spent the last few months visiting in Terrace Bay with her daughter, Barbara Mendelin; in Manitouwadge with daughter Margaret and family; and also enjoyed a trip to Windsor. Betty is back in Terrace Bay with Barb renewing old acquaintances. Thursa and Doug Thompson are enjoying having daughter Carolyn and two grandchildren - Kevin and Tracey, of Halifax, N.S., spend a little time with them. Carolyn's husband, Paul Fretz, visited here before being transferred from Halifax to Peta- wawa. IN DEFENCE OF QUIET ts THEY LAUGH to hear that part of a quite new subway system is to be shut down in hours when passengers are fewest. But is it not a fact that London has had its quiet time in certain hours ever since the First World War, and that New York has lines where the service is not constant? Also there are examples from the little places, the leprechauns of community, where economy is a factor in government. A new street lighting system used to be extinguished at nine p.m. because people were supposed to go to bed that early and there were no slinking, lurking bad people uncaught. Big places, runs the thought, should be no different.
