Sport Echoes from Prince County

According to what we have heard, the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick intermediate champions will play off in the Maritime semi finals. and the Summerside All- Stars will play the winners, first game away from home and the next two, if two are necessary. in Summerside.

At last reports the winners in New Brunswick will be either Chatham or St. Stephen. and in /Nova Scotia. Meteghan (we hope we've spelled it right) a place handy Digby, had a two-nothing leai in games over Sydney Mines.

Meanwhile the boys in Sum- merside will have to mark time. and this is definitely not good. Maybe an exhibition game could be arranged with some other Isl- and team to keep the boys in form.

Tllc annual meeting of the M. A.H.A. in Moncton Saturday turns the minds of sport fans to hockey which is just around a couple of corners. The outlook in Summer- side at present is pretty glum and it is unthinkable that something will'not be done to remedy the existing situation before Jack Frost comes in to wave his magic wand and set everyone to whirl- ing on the blades.

During the last two winters the Summerside Kinsmen h ve done a great deal for minor hockey in Summerside. Juvenile and midget Maritime championships in two years. starting from scratch. is an achievement that cannot be dupli- cated anywhere else in these Pro- vinces by the sea. That this fine program will have to be suspended because proper facilities for play- ing the games cannot be arrang-

A lot of grandiose talk last spring about a llcw rink seems t1 have gone by the board. It is much too late to do anything about that now. but our old rink. though very much buffeted by the slings of outrageous fortune. and hacked at by youngsters effecting entran- ces where you didn't have to tile past a ticket office. is perhaps not so hopeless that it could not bc repaired so that it might serve our purpose for one more year.

Personally. we think our best chance for a new arena. in Sum- merside is by way of a commun- ity eflort, such as has been put. forth in Glace Bay and other places. And if we are to have a rink in the winter of 1949 it is certainly not. too early to start planning for it now.

Packing Plants

MONTREAL, Sept. 29 - ~ (CP) — The matter ot seizing strike-bound meat packing plants in Quebec Province is one for decision by the Attorney General and the Cabinet as a whole. Provincial Labor Minis- tcr Barrette saic- today.

Asked in an interview whether the Province planned to follow the lead of the Prince Edward I~land Government which intends to take over plants in that Province to- morrow. Mr. Barrette repliec: that "I have no authority or knowledge

REGINA. Sept. 29 -- (CPI - A special session of the Saskatchewan Legislature to deal with the meat- packing strike will only be called as a last resort, Premier TC. Doug- las said tocay, and there was little possibility of a session this week.

The Premier estimated three days would be necessary to convene the session, but no action would be taken unless a serious meat short- age developed.

REGINA. Sept. 29 - (C?) - Attorney-General Corman of Sos- katctlewan today said the Toronto conference of provincial labor ministers called to study th-e pack- lnghouse dispute was the “biggest farce and burlesque ever presented to a disgusted public."

No effort hat-J been made to pro- mote a settlement of the strike, he said, and t-he Ministers, with tho exception of Hon. C.G. Wilts-ms cf ' Saskatchewan. had spent all tilelr. time formulating opinions on lcguii matters about which they knew little.

Mr. Williams was on solid legal ground in urging Dominion scion, he said.
