_ fic is a dangerous practice and is us-
ed frequently by some individuals
who apparently do not know that
‘this practice is obsolete and not rec-
ognized by the police or present higu-
way regulations. The hand should be
used in all cases. The police depart-
ment wish to convey to the general
‘public that opening of car doors to
give directions is very dangerous in
‘many ways and must be stopped.

| Abbotsford Soccer Team
Beats City Squad 3-1

The Abbotsford soccer team won
first game of the season on Sat-
, when they defeated the White
team of Vancouver by 3 goals
"Play was surprisingly: fast consid-
ering the ground was covered with a
coating of snow arid a light.sleet fall-
ing throughout the game. The locala
took the offensive right from the
start, and narrowly missed scoring on
: al O% ns. About half
the breather spell, however, their ef-
forts were rewarded when Plowright
scored, after some nice combination

between the forwards,

Abbotsford continued to pres:
half time, but the White Pines equal-
ized when a-local defensé man mis-
kicked. Not long after, Ferguson put
the locals ahead with a goal from
close range, and just before the final
whistle, Plowright scored again.

After the first ten minutes, when
everybody almost froze to death, the
2 was quite lively, and cleanly-
ed, there being no arguments or
rough play.
