Prud’Homme Has Found ‘Son Homme’
NEW YORK, N.Y.— There is “revolt” in diplomatic hockey circles over grave immigration problem. The Dept, of Winternal Affairs for the Republic of Rangery announced bold new foreign policy designed to lure “enslaved” young French-Canadian hockey players from La Province de Quebec (otherwise known as Montrealia) to New York, capital of Rangery. According to an attache for Premier Muzz Patrick’s democratic regime, too many French Canadiens are being shackled by Montrealia’s official hockey team—Les Habs.

Dear Sir, I have been reading THE HOCKEY NEWS now for about two years. My favorite hockey team is Montreal Canadiens. As you know there is two Saskatchewan boys on the Canadiens club, Bob Turner and Bert Olmstead, and there will be many more Saskatchewan boys going to the National Hockey League. Regina Pats, who are farm team of Canadiens, are loaded with good hockey players. I have seen Bert Olmstead play ball with the Sceptre Nixons, a team from his home town.

Regina and Prince Albert, against teams that were composed mostly of American ball players. Olmstead was one of the best players on his team. I would like to know how old the…
