Lawn' Bowling Club was held Wednesday evening, October 29, Ways and means for augment- frig the funds of the treasury for. improvement pdrpoaes were die,' cussed and left finally in the hands of the executive, Some members expressed their opinion that the club might profit from a variety type of tourna- ment rather than tournaments of the stereotype kind. Arrangements were made whereby the club members and their wives will enjoy a banquet, with the Ladies' Bowling Club members as guests. Election of officers resulted is follows: President, John Sutter; vice-president, Walter Newcombe; treasurer, James Lovett; secre- tary, Charles Johnson; jitney con- vener, Elmer Murray; outside tournaments, P. Livermore;. ent- ertainment and finance, G, W, Nott; grounds, C. Draper. played in the Stolle Town last week. The return game will be played in Goderich this week. According to reports Goderich will 'be represented in the WOAA by approximately the same team as last year. We were talking to the editor of the Milverton Sun about Clin- ton's arch rivals and we were informed that the Dominions, are working under cover. He expects them to have a powerful squad with their allotted number of imports along with many of last year's familiar faces. At the present time they are without the services of a coach; Bob Gaul, who held the position last season, is reluctant to take the job again. Reports emanating from New Hamburg are very sketchy but from what we can glean from them that team will be made up entirely of last year's club with the addition of a few juveniles. Incidentally, the Lions Club are making their second canvass of the town in the hope that they will be able to reach their ob- jective of $30;000. If you haven't already contributed to this wor- thy cause—artificial ice in Clinton Lions Arena—don't wait for the Lions to contact you, get in touch with them.

There are many rumours flying around as to the quantity and the qual- ity of players who will be wear- ing the blue and white but as far as your reporter can find out the team will be built around last year's players. Eddie Doimage, who pitched great ball for the baseball Colts is expected to be a valuable asset to the club, Be- sides Eddie, Manager Bert Glid- don has lined up four more men who are working in and around Clinton.. One played last year for Woodstock until` a fractured wrist sidelined him; one of 'net year's Bridgeport Vets (a team Clinton fans will long remember); ,a junior "B" player for Galt last season, and another who toiled for Peterboro Junior "B" team two years ago but was out of the sport last season. Manager Gllddon thinks that the Colts will definitely have a ,contender and Clinton hockey fans will be treated to some first, class games when the new artifi- cial ice plant goes into action. Bill Nediger will be back after an absence of one year to try to take Bill Tideswell's regular goal-tending berth away . from him. This should prove to be quite interesting as Bill Tides- well turned in a magnificent chore for last year's team and will be very hard to beat out. At any rate it is something new for the Colts to have goal-tend- ing problems in reverse—namely two tried and proven players. S. The Juveniles were expected to have a good club this year but the change of the age limit has played havoc with their well laid plans and reduced their squad so Much that it is doubtful that a team will be entered, All the hockey players of the Pee-Wee class take note! Plans are being made for a banner year for players of this classification. The Lions Club has given "Punch" McEwan the green light and "Punch" with the help of three or four former Colt stars intend to form a town league. Four teams will be formed, they will practice and play once or twice a week and when a group winner is declared, the winning team, will be presented with the "NeWs-Record Trophy." Out of the four teams players will be picked to form a team that will be entered in the WOAA Pee-Wee series. Fans will le- 1 member that it was just ten years ago that the Lions Juveniles won the Ontario title and players of that team form the backbone of the Colts today. This team got it's start in the same way as the Pee-Wees will this year. Maybe Clinton will win another championship in a few years. At any,rate hockey enthusiasts should see some int- eresting games from these kids and under the watchful eyes of '"Punch" and his crew they should insure hockey in this town for many years to come. Goderich has opened their hoc- key season after only a week's practice. They were victorious over St. Marys 9-5 in a game 1st ClintOft Lions Pack The Clinton Lions Cub Pack held a successful "Feast" night on Monday, November 3. Thirty cubs and three scouts turned out, Evening consisted mostly of gam- es and competitions. The mothers of the cubs are to be congratula- ted for the fine sandwiches and cakes they sent to the feast. The "Feast" was a reward for the fine work the cubs did on "Apple Day". The Cubs will be on par- ade in uniform on Remembrance Day. All Cubs are to meet at the basement of Wesley-Willis United Church at 9 a.m. on Nov- ember 11th, They will march from there to the public school to join the main parade. 1st Clinton Lions Troop Clinton Lions Troop held a very successful hike for the scouts on November 2. Scoutmaster Cowd- en hopes to hold more hikes this fall before the snow comes, Scouts are still carrying on with the course in first aid. All Scouts are asked to be out in uniform for the Remembrance Day Parade. FISH AND GAME CLUB FEES UPPED TO $5 PER YEAR The Clinton Fish and Game Club met in the new Club House on Monday, November 3, 'with the president, C. J. Livermore, in the chair. After the reading and adoption of the last minutes, a list of ac- counts in connection with the er- ection of the building was read and ordered to be paid.. Owing chiefly to the delinquent payment of fees, and because of the demands relative to complet- ing the new house, it was moved, seconded and carried that the club borrow $600.00. John Clegg and John Wilson were appointed to arrange for a fowl supper with suitable caterers. The big raffle went without a winner, but the draws were won by Arthur Fulford, Eric Switzer and Bert Gliddon. Slight changes were agreed up- on in yearly membership fees. On motion of George Falconer and Tom Twyford, the first year's membership fee was set at $5.00 with the fees for the following years at the current rate and that all new members be initiated through the µse of the Conserva- tion Pledge. 0 Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Nott Honoured Prior To Leaving Township A most enjoyable evening was spent by 'neighbours on Hallow- e'en night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Livingston, R.R. 2, Seaforth, in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Nott prior to their move to their new home in Egmondville. The evening was spent playing progressive euchre with winners: ladies' first, Mrs. Elmer Dale; lone hands, Mrs. Jack Freeman; consolation, Mrs. Ed. Radford; men's first, Jack Freeman; lone hands, Theodore Dale; consola- tion, Landy Bell. After a delicious lunch a pro- gramme of music Was enjoyed. Those taking part were: duetts, Marie and Lois Dale; piano solo, Lorraine Livingston and Lois Dale; violin selections by Norman Dale, Elmer Dale and Elgin Nott; duett by Marie and Clarence Dale. Theodore Dale read the ad- dress; David Livingston and Gor- don Dale in Hallowe'en costume, presented Mr. and Mrs. Nott with an end \table. .9 Mr. Nott made a fitting reply, and all joined in singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows", and "God Save The Queen." 0 County Bursaries Officially Awarded The Huron County Bursaries for 1952 have been awarded to the following students at The University of Western Ontario, re- ports the Committee that awarded the Huron County Bursaries at The University. of Western Ontar- io: Maxine Hunking, R.R. 1, Aub.: urn, Barbara Gaunt, R.R. 1, Be]- grave; Bernice Dilling, R.R. 2, Kippen; ' Peter J.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Shobbrook are in good health and when ask- ed what they attributed to 50 years of long happy married life they said that "Living a good full Christian life and living it from day to day is the best way to at- tain a goal of the Golden Wedding anniversary".

"It we sell, that franchise is gone. Our system has not been run on. a sound business proposition; our rates have been consistently low- er than all the other systems, This should not have been, be- cause no monies were being set aside to keep the system in re- pair. Now we find' ourselves ire a bad position. I feel that we should stick together and run our own business. We will have to phone Company- is ire the tele- phone business to make money and if we sell the only thing we, will forfeit is our privilege to, come to a meeting such as this and speak in a democratic way: If we sell, the "Bell' will have complete control and we will have no voice whatsoever. Re- member, if we sell we lose only privilege, that of running our own businss. We will have to• pay for the renovation at any rate." The vote was taken under the guidance of Mr. Thompson with, the result mentioned. When, and if, the system is finally sold it will end the life of a system that was established on April 3, 1909. It was on that date that the first subscriber? meeting took place. Before that time a provisional group had been set up to organize and try to obtain telephone service.
