The Maritimes will be very proud indeed to see the write-up of Brow- er's Gallon 2.00 GT5 on page 445 of the Christmas Harness Horse. which we have condensed . . . . There is an old maxim to the effect that all lihlnlls come to him -who waits. but many staunch followers of the har- ness horse sport have continued Year after year to purchase pros- pects with the hope of securing a real top one. to have their best efforts fail and their ambitions not realized. one of the many fine gen. tlemen. however. who has been an ardent fancier over a period of years. owned numerous irotters and pacers and in 1950 saw his fond hopes realized. is Bertram C.

It is expected that the take at the local bounty office (,RoYIl Packing Company at the end of the car will exceed 500 reds and patches. This total will not include the number turned in at the bounty office in surnmenide. Old time fox trappers are collecting a good share of pelts.

Jim Hogan. Prince County Phys- ical Fitness director, informs us thatpthe Summerside Legion is go- ing to sponsor either the Sum- merslde Juveniles or Midgets. Thus one of those teams is amured of competent direction. The Sum- merside Kinsmen who had spon- sored both those age-divisions for the last few years. is confining its efforts to the supervision of bantam, pee-wee and paperweight teams this year.

The Islanders have racked up another one. Just heard that they downed the luckless Moncton Hawks 5 to 1. It will certainly be too bad if Metcalfe does not turn up to play with Mcncton. Metcalfe who played with sherbrooke last year was a very solid performer at that time, and if he has not slip- ped considerably. should give the Hawks some of the bolstering they so sadly need. .

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21 -(AP) - Mrs. Mary Kathryn Sullivan was awarded 517,000 by the Unit- ed States Court of Appeals today because she didn't know a hockey puck could be hit into the air off the ice. .

The court upheld an earlier ver- dict which gave Mrs. suliivan.the money for injuries suffered at a Washington Lions hockey game at Ullne Arena here on March 19. 1946.

It was the first hockey game Mrs, Sullivan had seen.

Uliiii: Ice. ln:.. which formerly had the pro hockey team here. contended Mrs. Sullivan either

was sufficiently informed of the danger. or. after seeing screens at the ends of the rink and watching the play for a short time. should have been aware there was some dan-get attached in watching a hockey game, thereby assuming -the risk.

However, the court did not agree. "Here the appellee (Mrs. Bulli- vani." it said. "testified she did not know that the puck could leave the playing area. that she did not know that the zone where she was sitting was dangerous, and that this was her first time at a hoc- -key game."

During the game. a flying puck struck Mrs. Sullivan in the face. The lenses of her gasses were crushed. pieces of glass driven into her eyes. About 08 per cent of the
