HOCKEY Flesherton Wins 10-5 From Markdale in Centre Grey . Flesherton Centre-Grey team op ened the season by winning from Markdale 10 â€" 5. M. Piper was the star of the game, getting 4 of Flesh- erton's 10 goals. Winterburn of Markdale, and Johnson of Flesherton came next with three counters. Both- teams worked hard, but team-play was lacking. Douglas Cairns of the home team, was by far the fastest palyer on the ice. In Doug, Flesh erton has a mate for Copeland of Dundalk. In the first pei-iod Piper scored on a pass from Johnson, followed by goals by Piper and Johnson. La Verne Piper of Markdale then tallied on a beautiful solo play. The second and third periods were rep. lique of the first. In the last period the judgement of the referee to- wards one player was quite quest- ionable. The marksmen for Flesherton were: M. Piper from Gorrel, M. Piper from Dargavel, Earl Johnson, Ben Leavell from Johnson, D. Cairns from John- son, Johnson from Dargavel, Piper fioni Johnson and MacTavish, Piper from Johnson, Johnson from Piper^ Cairns from Johnson. Those scoring for Markdale were: L. Piper, L.

WITH A GOOD HEART, INTO THE NEW YEAR In the routine of life we begin a new year every minute and every fraction of a minute. Between Dec- ember 31st and the following January 1st there is no greater barrier than between any two days. Yet custom requires us to regard the entry into a New Year as a significant occas- ion â€" a time for casting up accounts, for measuring progress and for lay- ing plans. FrShi a mathematical standpoint it might be argued that the beginning of a New Year is just 365 times as significant as the beginning of a new It was a grey December morning when the fleet of passenger vessels with the Canadiaa Active Sei-vice Force First Division on board and its accompanying guardian flotilla of warships set off to sea. At times' the sun broke through the clouds, sometimes a squally gust ruffled the waters but the. general conditions were favorable and the meteroligical eperts predicted that the ships would just nicely avoid a storm area which had been a recent centre of disturb- ance. This departure wa% quite dif- ferent from the sailing of the First Contigent in 1914. The latter had gone out of Valcartier with great ado, embarked on shipboard and gone down the St. Lawrence to assemble at Gaspe awaiting the word to go. When the time came for the actual departure, down the Gulf of St. Law* erncc to the sea, that great fleet mov- ed out quietly and with but few ob- servers. This 1939 setting out was under quite different conditions. In- stead of the lonely bay the ships were gathered at a port and at a populous place. It would be difficult, indeed impos- sible, to estimate the number of peo- ple who saw the ships go out, but it can be said that it was very large. The secret of the departure time had been well kept, but by the middle of the Sabbath morning it wts evident to onlookers that action was impend- ing, increasing volumes of smoke from funnels being regarded as a sign. Then, too, there were early risers who had noted at daybreak several naval units moving into the fairway and going out to sea. The observers were rewarded at noon when other naval craft proceed- ed down the channel and made for the open, and -soon afterwards the first unit of the great passenger fleet followed. In turn the others joined the parade until all had completed their majestic course . past the head- lands and proceeded to clear the land. As each vessel s\vung out, its rails, upper deck and rigging were lined with troops and from each there came lusty cheers to be re-echoed from the shore. However one ship must have possessed a martinet. As it passed the vantage point occupied by this observer, it was noted that the decks were lined, but lined with soldiers wearing his newly acquired lifebelt and mustered at his emergency sta- tion; for them the war was on. CANADIAN CONTINGENT SAILED IN COMFORT tallied for Flesherton, while Akitt and Phillips counted for Rock Mills. Russel John.son and L. Russel notched two more goals for Flesherton in the last period. Flesherton meets Priceville on Mon- day night, Jan. 8. This will be a a game worth seeing since both teams were rivals for the trophy last season, Flesherton only being nosed out at the end of the season. JUVENILE LEAGUE OPENS THIS FRIDAY NIGH1 Flesherton W. I. Is plannhigr for a carnival on Jan. 19. Keep date open. While yon are reading about and iitcttMlng all the people of import- ttnet in tiie world, don't for^t that Mother ont in the kitchen who plan- aed the Chriatmaa dinner Is Joat about M important as any of tiMiB perio. In the second periml Banks | ''"^^ â- '^"*' '^'^ significance of a new day whether literal or figurative, is .so familiar as to need no argument. But no man needs no mathematical process to impress upon him the sol- emnity of the new year. His petty routine js broken by the cosmw rythm as the changing shadows of the sun complete the cycle of the seasons. In the stillness of the last night of the Old Year, he may, if he will, hear the years coming from forgotten cent- uries and heading into the- unknown future. For a time man marches with the years, a part of their joy and despair, their tragedies and triumphs. New recruits are constantly added to the line of march, and as constantly stragglers fall out and arc left behind. And among the marchers are everi those who are active to direct the route Into higher and better ways. We are passing through storms as we come to the milestone which marks the boundary between 1939 and 1940. For a while we may have heavy going, our. path is well mapped, and relying on its direction we go forward into the New Year with a good heart and with the wish to everybody of happiness and prosperity, â€" Toronto Telegram. The Central Ontario Juvenile Hock- ey Association will begin piny on Friday evening when Flesherton goes to Chatsworth.

It is possible to write or say anything one pleases about Russia and not be placed under arrest in this country. When the first contingent of the Canadian Active Service Force reach- ed that "somewhere" on the East Coast of Canada which was to mark the completion of their journey in the Dominion and to form the jumping off place for the start of the sea voy- age, every individual was to receive an instant thrill. First, it was the i'.ze of the ships, next, the discovery ti"tt he boarded an actual luxury liner, and before he had recovered from these initial suprises, he was f receive another when he reached the quarters to which he had been as- signed . It was an actual cabin and no question of a hammock swung 'tween decks. As a rule the berthing ran three men to a cabin which is the usual accommodation of ships' cabins. On one ship, cabin after cabin boasted a private bath; what tules there will be to tell of that luxurious crossing. In every ship baths were numerous and as no ship carried anything like its rated capacity of passengers, this crossing of a Canadian Division should indeed bo historical from the viewpoint of the comfort of men. Nor did the comforts of the voy- age terminate with the provision of ample bathing space â€" something which appeals to soldiers â€" but the men were assured of beds and spac- ious beths, indeed the greater part of the sleeping accommodation of these vessels was in beds, a great advance from the bunks and hammocks of the Canadian Armada of 1914. Another feature of this crossing was that the dining salon of each was maintained in its usual service, with food prepared in the 8hip"s gal- ley's just as it would be during a regular Atlantic crossing of any of those ships. Naturally the menu was not as extensive as the usual daily offering. How otUai has the modest traveller boggled at the vast array of items which ships' cooks and stewards believe necessary to the subtenance of passengers â€" but sufficiently generous as to the ap- preciation of those thousand* of healthy lads with open-air appetites. One shipping icompany asked in advamv if the men would require ice cream every day-that should steg- stagger the oM plum and apple Je«^ forever. The answer was that it would doubtless be appreciated, but, in the moantime, it was suggested that a plentiful supply of beer for the can- teen would be welcome. While on the subject of food, it was noted that the first soldier to board ship was a drummer of the Royal Canadian Army Supply Column, whose army job is looking atfer ra- tions; well, you can't beat those lads for getting the grub in fast time. While even now it is not permit- ted to write complete details of the actual ships which carried the First Division nor to identify them, it is, of course, quite safe to say tiiat they •re of the type that might be termed "big time" ships of the Atlantic. The man with a knowledge of ships could spot them but the traveller from the inside might be well amazed on being told that he was looking at one of the big fellows whose passengers usually figure largely in the social columns. Probably he would be disappointed. Nothing gay or holidaylike about these ships. (Jone the bright hues, instead drab grays and blacks and nondeacript colors and all of them looking like glorified colliers. But on board and below everything was spick and span and decidedly ship- shape, a lot of exterior slap-dash to fool an enemy observer, but trim- ness power and efficiency where such things count, and each engine-room a powerhouse always ready to pick up the power for which each one of these ships established a reputat- ion. Ships have a strong appeal ana it was the fervent wash of every sea lover who saw these great vessels set off to sea with their precious cargoes that they would terminate in saftey not only that particular voyage, but the many more to come.
