The snow fall of the past week- end caused a great deal of diffi- culty in travelling conditions in this section which was one oi the hardest hit by the storm. Traffic in the town moved' very slowly, while cars on Bell's HiU were stall- ed. unable to make the grade. One section of the main highway was completely blocked so that, travel- lers had to pass through the fields. All dirt roads are in a muddy, slushy condition making it diffi-

cult for travellers to move from one place to another. However, it is expected that these roads will be in a better condition before the weight restrictions are remov- ed.

An all time record was set fur the Montague rink on Tuesday night when the Prince of Wales Wildcats and the Montaguvseniors tangled in an exhibition game with the Wildcats emerging victorious with an 8-6 acore. Spectators who had not seen a game for some time were thrilled to see that the boys still possessed the mid season spirit. and they were given every- thing a hockey game usually corr-

notes.‘ even a fight. The first per-

iod opened wlth~fast play on the still smooth ice. and the college

squad netted tlu-ee counters dur- ing the 20 minutes of play. The second period atarted things under control. but tempers aoon became frayed. and soon there ' ewes a general melee in the middle . ‘oi the-ice with fists flying in all direeflatla.

new comedy. "The Wishful Widow o! Wagon Gap," will open at the Prince Edward Theatre today. The picture is one of the popular team's most laugh-packed efforts and has Marjorie Main playing the title role - a widow Wlirh seven children who makes romantic pass- es at Lou Costello.

‘Ilhe story derives from an old Montana. law. still on the state‘: statute books. concerning gun duels. The law provides that a killer be responsible for the fam- ily and debts of his victims. ' Abbott and Costello am shown as salesmen who come to the west- ern town to peddle housewares. and are forced to take part in chases shootings and a stagecoach holdup. D. D. Beauchamp and William Bowers wrote the original story, which appeared in Colliers mage- zine.

There are many riotous routines of the kind that have kept Abbott lnd Costello one of the screen's

yearS. In the supporting cast are George Cleveland as a larcenous

em saloon owner and gunman. and a trio of new faces. including Wil- liam Ching as a law enforcrmcnt official, Audrey Young as a singer and oldest child of Miss Main, and Peter Thompson. Chinghs aide.

timates for the current year would be boosted by another $16,000,000 as a. result of the Govern-

ment's recent decision to con- tinue freight assistance on western grain movements until July 8i. i949.
