Juckes. second vice-president of the CAHA, and chairman of minor hockey in Canada. Juckes has the full backing of his committee and it was at his suggestion and plan that a special week be named to observe and promote minor hockey in Canada's ten provinces.It Is evident that the men in charge of minor hockey in centres across the breadth of the land are solidly behind the week of observance, as are press, radio and T. V.Government and civic officats are also solidly behind the idea. A letter addressed to Gordon Juckes from Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. Ottawa, expresses the opinion that is held by him about the special week. His letter reads as follows: *“I was pleased to karn from your letter of January 5 of the promotional activities being planned by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in connection with‘Young Canada Hockey Week.’ Canadians are justly proud of the records of their professional and amateur hockey teams in the came we consider as our national sport. Rut. more important for our youth than the achievement of individual and team records is the development of the body and the character of each participant in this vigorous winter sport1 wish every success to the minor hockey committee of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in the promotion of the first national Young Canada Hockey Week. To the thousands of young hockey players across Canada. I express the hope that they will keep on playing the game in the true spirit of sportsmanship in which we recognize many of the qualities of the good citizen.”
