At last years’ CNE sports hall of fame, hockey trophies were shown and drew tremendous attention. Price said there is a possibility the hockey hall of fame may become an all - year affair, and not restricted to the three-week duration of the CNE ealt;Jh year. • b If costs can be met, the physical properties of the hall of fame — trophies, awards, sticks that have made hockey history ahd everything—might be moved to different cities in Canada for t •« - * short' stays. Campbell, Selke and Price all stressed there is no reflection on Kingston and its citizens in the CNE and NHL taking over the hall of fame. They applauded the efforts of Capt. Sutherland but said that despite of enthusiasm for the project in Kingston, the amount of money that would be needed, for construction and maintenance of a suitable building got beyond means; The building alone would cost around $215,000.;
