We learn with deep regret of the death of our long time friend, John A. Mac-Donald. Southport. Mr. MacDonald has been ill for quite a time following a serious operation. Through the years he was active as a farmer. fox ran- oher. trader in live stock and al- ways had a good word for every- one snd a helping hand for those who needed it. He took I great interest in horse racing and as long as we can remember his slal- wart form could be seen at our local meets. He owned many horses in his time. the most out- standing of which were The Box- all Girl 2.i9V4. Zelma Dewey 2.14 and Quin-la 2.0456. We on behalf of horsemen friends and ourselves. tender our deep sympathy to his wife and family.

The conversation turned to trout. winter poaching and the need of a game warden for each county. I know he could voice the opinion of a certain group in respect to wild- life protection so said to him quite bluntly: "What's behind all this talk of more protection and more game wardens? To be truthful you wouldn't want to see me back on the job...would you?" It was 3. fair question and he gave me a fair answer. "We would and we wouldn't.

This gent, and he is quite a gent. was just being plain honest: It might surprise you if you knew how many, some of them prominent in game circles. feel the same way if they'd only admit it.

The Summerside Crystals have gone two up on the Borden Na- tionals. beating them in Borden by an 8 to 7 score. and clipping the Ferry Towners 5 to 2 in Sum- merslde. The game in Summerslde was an even-sieven affair until five minutes before the end of the game when the Trainor-coached boys scored three quick goals to cop the verdict.

Gordon Cutcllffe played on the forward line for the first time with the Crystals. and showed everybody that there is where he definitely belongs. Cuteliffe is a big husky boy but does not have the knack of getting his body into an opponent crossing the blue- line. On the forward line he plays a rugged. effective game. is tough to take out of a play. and packs a sizzling shot. He scored two goals Tuesday night and made some effective passes -near goal- mouth. but gomethlng always, went wrong with the potential receiver at the last moment.

He checks with a lot. of authority. this chunky Charlotte- town boy. if he were speedier on his skates. we think he would have been right up there in the "Big Four" stuff.

The Freetown Royals eliminated the Albany St. Pals in the race for the intermediate "3" Prince County title. after a bitter strug- gle. The first game was a 3-all draw. Norman Van Ember scored all three goals for Albany in this game. Freetown oullasted the St. Pals in the second contest and won 9 to 5. Both games were played on ice which was far from being in perfect condition. It seems too bad that so many im- portsnt games have to be decided

Islanders Club Drive Is Picking Up Speed

Throughout yesterday the Is- landers Hockey Fund drive gain- ed speed like a scared rabbit. Only one canvassing team had re- ported as evening-fell. and this pair. ayor MacDonald and Councillor Dr.. Lemuel Prowse had more than a thousand dollars to show for their work.

It was known however. that other csnvassera were being well received. and that cheque books had been in use at practically every business establishment call- ed upon. The drive took a new slant when several women called the Mayor. to notify him of ten or fifteen dollar contributions.

Top donation of the day was that of the Charlottetown Forum. with the mouth-filling sum of 5250.00. Business establishments like Old Spain is heavy contribu- for early in the winter) and Moore & McLeod'a threw a hun- drcd dollars-each into the pot. g

can't be blamed for that one. Re- cord-breaklng high temperatures for the last week in February was the villain of the play. Freetown would have been hard to beat on any ice. and we think they will give the O'Leary Maroons the old henvo-ho to cop the Prince Coun- ty title.

Just heard that the Sheen 8: Mclnnls juniors defeated the Kan- sington Juniors in Kensington 6 to 3 in lake the round 11 to 0. They will now take on the Abbie Jun- iors for the Island title. The fast- skaiing. rugged Abegwelis will no doubt furnish sterner opposition.

The Sussex Juniors are surpris- ing New Brunswick fans in the provincial pleydowns. They elim- inated Sackvllla and have won the first game of the finals from Monclon. in that game the Mone- ton paper says that Paul Schur- man scored one of the prettiest goals of the evening. We can be- lieve that as we have seen Paul core more than one picture goal while he was playing for Sum-
