Leo Lam- oureux's "Islanders" Hockey Club. and Don Messer's "Islanders" orchestra. will be the feature at- traction at the Forum tonight at the ma.mi'noth moccasin dance. Midway through the pro- gramme. time out will be taken to present each member of the Is- lander's club with a sports jacket, as a memento of their 1951 winter with the local organization. The jackets are a smart combination of garnet and gold, the Club col- ors and the team's crest. a min- aturc geographical replica. of the Island, takes nothing from their smart appearance. In attendance for the present- ation will be Lt.-Governor T. W. L. Prowse. Premier J. Walter Jones and Charlottetown's Mayor, B. Earle MacDonald. Since the first of the lrfiiiportant playoff games with Halifax takes place on Sat- urday night, it is hoped that a bumper dance crowd and non- dancers. will be present to ex- press their appreciation of the great work of the boys through- out the winter. Cooperating one hundred per cent, the management of the Forum are turning the building over to the Club for the evening free of charge. This is only an- other example of practical help and encouragement given by the Forum throughout the long hoc- key season. i It. is understood that those other top grade performers, Don Messer's Islanders, are also fur- nishing the dance program free as their contribution to the night's proceedings. Leo the Lion's men will dance tonight not skate, and 'tls said some of them shake ii. mean leg. At any rate everybody will havea chance to meet the boys who carry the Island's hopes in the pending playoffs against the con- querors of st. John Beavers. the high-flying st. Mary's Club.
