Don McKenney and defence- man Bob Baun made it 2-0 tor Toronto in the second period and Andy Bathgate banged In the third Leafs goal in the third as Leafs sat back with their lead and picked their openings.

While we're on the .ubject of kids. the Souris Recreational have announc- that they will be undertaking a fund drive within the next few days. The commission's funds have ceased to exist. and a com- mission member toid us that they managed to finish the win- ter program. only through the generosity of certain individuals. who donated of their time. money. and the use of their cars for transportation.

With the exception of the Re- gional High School. the Com- mission furnishes all sports necessities for Souris all year around. This takes quite a bit of money. True. they do get some money from Physical Fit- ness. but this only pays a small portion of the expenses. So Souris fans. when the drive starts. dig down.
