THE Kamloops “Outlaws” hockey team visited Lae La Hache over the weekend and played the local senior team Saturday night and Sunday al- ternoon. From the visitors point of view, it was an unsuccessful venture. as they lost the first game 4-2 and wound up on the short end of a 5-4 score on Sunday. Saturday’s game was a clean well-played contest, with some good hockey, but a steady stream of players to the penalty box slowed up Sunday’s game, which was climaxed by a fight. , PRIOR to the senior game on Sun- day, the local PeeWees took a beat- ing from the Mission PeeWees.

WILL REVIEW IN JUNE Fees For Dormitory Raised Two Dollars Derision of trustees to raise the Jormitory fees from $22 per month o $24 for attending students, was ipproved recently by representatives, with the proviso that costs be review- ed in June and that if possible, the tees be reduced to the $22 figure fov the September term. Board chairman Hilary Place told that the inerease in ary to handle up to an estimated $0 students anticipated next fall, necessitated the raise. He said the year before the fee had been opped from $25 to $22 when it was found that the higher figure had put the revenue ahead of expenditure. This year the board intends to use the full $14 a month government grant for each student, as well as the $24 fee to> balance the financial structure. It cost $22,748 to operate the dorm last year and estimated costs for the calendar year 1955 is set at $29,743. [Alexis Creek News MRS.

Society will hold individual meetings in the near future to draw up an agenda for a joint general meeting to discuss the problems of artificial ice for the centre. This was decided at a meeting of the society last Friday that was at- tended by a delegation from the curl- ing club.consisting of Boh Kelt and Fred Graham. The two delegates asked again for a long-term lease on their portion of the arena so that the club could actively consider install- ing an artificial ice plant and expand- ing the present facilities. The feeling of the meeting was that they would rather see the ques- lion of artificial ice’ for the entire arena threshed out. Reports on arena activity show the centre is catering to more and more children. There are midget teams, peewees and below peewees for the younger children.
