There was candor, and views were hammered through to the finish whether supported or attacked. Few. if any, ever said anything while meaning something else. To what extent all this was good or bad for business is not on the record, but the early established and long continued practice of "going around to see whats' doing it Little's" held it3 attraction.

SPRING -FILLED MATTRESSES UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Proprietors: TOM PESUT STEVE VKKLAKN ffOOP JtyLK Much interest is being shown in sport circles today regarding the outcome of tonight's senior basketball game at the Civic Centre and it's the age-old argument again experience vs. youth. At the initial ir.eetlng of the Basketball Association this season it appeared that there were two fine senior teams and two weak outfits and something had to be done. The executvle of the ' association went to work, refus- ed the entry of the two teams, gave them time to pick one team from the two and then bolstered them with some of the best known stars of the game in Northern British Columbia. Angus MacPhee returned from the south with no intention of playing this year. Jack Lindsay, who had retired last season, was definitely still on the retired list. Sonny Beynon, who hasn't been up to par as far as condition goes, hadn't made up his mind what to do. First of all MacPhee admitted that there was some help needed to assure supporters of the sport an interesting season so he took over the job of organizing things and Mr. Lindsay was approached. Lindsay was at first "out of the picture" as far as he was concerned and anyone else for that matter. He was too busy building houses, running his business and his job as chairman of athletics at the Civic Centre also called for considerable time. However, when it was explained that the operation of an interesting senior league was in jeopardy, it was "alright, I'll play but I'm not in shape mind you." Beynon had just arrived in town about then so he was hustled down to the gym and just about told that he had to play. The remainder of this team will be seen tonight Don Arncy, GLOVES!!

They will play under the sponsorship of the Co-op and it is about time that the Co-op got a break In senior league competition as they have spent money and time for three or four years now and have never asked for any edge. As competition for Co-op tonight it has been arranged' that Carl Sarelli and his Savoy outfit try their luck.. U may be the old story of condition and no one ori the Co-op side is giving any odds, but as MacPhee says, "If they don't beat us by at least 10 points tonight they can say goodbye to any league championship." "I also hope," says MacPhee, "that Dominato Is checking me." Dominato by the way, should find it strange trying to stop either Lindsay, Beynon or MacPhee as they were his teammates on last year's 99 Taxi outfit. Dominato, as a matter of fact, has played with Mac and Beynon since the Standard Oilers-back in 1938 a long time to get used to someone. HIS EFFORTS APPRECIATED j I Appreciation to E. T.
