FIVE ¥YRARS AGO

We have thought all week that the glorious victory of
the Penticton Vees lést much significance because of the jibes
made by various persons at the Russians. We didn’t like all
the salt mine references and we thought a cartoon on the front
page of the Penticton Herald showing a Russian hockey player
equipped for the salt mines in very bad taste. We were agree-
ably surprised to open the Vernon News Friday and to find an
editorial the views of which coincided with our own.
editorial follow:

“A great many Canadians are not necessarily of the per-
suasion that all Russian are fiends in human form. And it came
as rather a jarring note, therefore, to hear and read jibes at
the Russian hockey team in the wake of their defeat by the
Penticton Viees.

“All in all, the Russians seem to have borne themselves
well. Following their defeat - ana it undoubtedly came as
bitter blow - they merely linea up in a correct if semi-military
formation and waited the end of the tumult.

“When the victore had been acclaimed, the Russians
offered congratulations and the nnal presentations proceeded

such ceremonies-each year on Canadian rinks. In this instance,
