Most of the inactivity in rural areas has been the result of mild weather. but, with the colder weather now setting in. rinks all over the country will be getting on ilieir first floods and prepar- ing to get their various leagues rolling for the season. Dependent on the weather for their natural ice rinks. the many leagues and teams have been able to do little except get the organizational work of their clubs and leagues drafted

Just about every community in the Province has its own rink and team that participate in a district league of one calibre or another. As in the past. the De- parimcnt of Physical Fitness is planning another full scale pro- gram in everything from Pee-Wee hockey to intermediate ranks and will be awarding trophies again this year for the regular Ccuniy organized leagues as well as Pro-

vincial championship play in those divisions. O O 0 Basketball. which so far this

season has limited its activity to a few exhibition games will get their leagues rolling in earnest in the early stages of the new year.
