(P) Hockey must be considered a "definite subsidiary to our main war effort," Ross E. Clemens, of Hamilton, retiring president the Ontario Hockey Association, said in a speech prepared for delivery Saturday at the association's 53rd annual meet-in- "Our government at Ottawa has given us assurance that it is their wish that hocl 'jy on," said Clemens, who is succeeded as president by F. W. (Dinty) Moore, of Port Cdlborne. "At the last Canadian Amateur Hockey Association meeting it was favorably discussed that all young men who are able to engage in hockey should be profitably employed either as a member of our armed forces or in some industry essential to the successful prosecution of the wa "With this I feel that we in this association agree to the fullest extent." Clemens disclosed that there has been a 65 per cent, drop in registration in hockey branches throughout Canada 'a fact of which we are very proud, that these young men comprising the 65 per cent, are taking an active part in a far greater game." The O.H.A.

had welcomed service entries in the past and would continue to do so. Various O.H.A. branches had contributed a total of approximately $8,000 to charity last season. The association's finances were not so strong as a year ago but it still had a strong balance and $8,000 in Dominion of Canada Bonds. Clemens said prospects for the different series appear bright.

Treasurer George S. Dudley presented the 1941-42 financial statement showing receipts of $10,537 against disbursements of $12,471. Secretary W. A. Hewitt read the adoption amendments to the O.H.A.

constitution and announced that entries in all O.H.A. series will close November 25. He said grouping of entries will be arranged at the first meeting of the new executive committee November 27.
