R. L.

Kuzma was off for tripping at I the time and the Maroons were pressing with every man up the ice. It was the third straight win against the A.C.H.L. champions and the Maroons never looked better. The Maroons have lost only three of their last 17 playoff games. They won the last two straight from Stratford, took Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen four straight, won three, tied two and lost two to Sudbury Wolves and lost the first game of the current series to Saint John.

Saint John elected to forget their usual style of slap-bang, slash-grab hockey to play the Maroons' style.

There were squabbles aplenty, as has been the case in all games. Above, game officials decide on who gets the penalty, as Copper Leyte, 18 for Beavers, looks on as Jim Connelly, 14 in white jersey of Maroons, helps Ted Power to his feet. Jim Shirley in Beaver nets and Lloyd Hinchberger watch from right. (Star Staff Photo by Cecil Southward) found their way into the hearts and homes of adoptive parents. "Adoption is becoming mora popular year by year, and is being increasingly regarded as a normal by-product of every day life, Mr.

Whittington stated. Another heartening trend revealed in the annual report was towards adop- tion of older children. At one time, it was difficult to place children much past infancy in homes, but in recent years there has been an increasing demand for older children, llWWWWililIMIIIPMWIWWIW llir Hf JBHWaUKWW oughly canvassed, and the drive will seek to encourage maximum possible contributions from both Kotanen took the puck off the defenceman's stick and caught Billy Flick going in.

Boileau apparently speared Bendo and the former Stratford-Indian immediately grabbed Boileau and started to pound his head against the top of the boards.

They both got five minutes. Ted Power was tripped by Hinchberger, who has been a hard but clean competitor in the series. Hinchberger suddenly started to whack Ted over the body with his stick as Power lay on the ice and Parsons immediately thumbed Hinchberger for two for tripping and five for high sticking while Power got two minutes for high sticking.

One of the reasons given by Mr. Whittington for the lower number of wards was increased activity of the society in keeping families intact, and maintaining normal home environments.

Extensive work in administration of family allowances, and investigation of home conditions for divorce actions was also outlined. Need for a full-time trained case work supervisor was stressed by Mr. Whittington, who recommended reconsideration of th salary schedule for social and stenographic workers, and ulti-r mate employment of trained social workers.

Despite the conflicting presentation of another major dog show, at Buffalo, N.Y., on the same date, the local group hopes that this year's event will be the best to date. More than 200 entries have already been listed, including all breeds of dogs, some of them coming from as far away as New York City and Chicago. More emphasis is being placed on obedience trials this year, and Mrs.

Donna Clements, Sturgis, will judge this division of the show. The trials will start at 1 p.m. Thomas Joel, Toronto, will head a long list of dog experts in judging the various classes on exhibition. Mr. Joel, a noted British dog judge, who came to Canada a little over a year ago, will adjudicate the best of show award.

Presentation of the leading award will be made by Mayor Archie Stirling, who, with Mrs. Stirling, will be show patrons.
