I will now ask the chaplain to lead us in' prayer." Following prayer 'by the chap- lain, Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel, the president of the Legion called on Dr. T. W. Shaw, who held the rank of major in the 161st Batt- alien overseas during. the First World War, to lay the corner- stone. Dr. Shaw recalled three wars during his generation, and com- mended the Huron Battalion which went overseas in 1936, when he quoted a person of authority as having said it was the best battalion Canada had sent to France. Dr. Shaw stated that he held the Legion second to his church, and recommended that all Legion members would do well to give it like honour and loyalty. Included in a small packet which Dr. Shaw sealed beneath -the stone, were the names of all' Huron County men who fell in battle. different ways of arranging flow- ers including Christmas table and door decorations. A vote of thanks was voiced by Mrs. W. T. Robison to Mr. Cooke for his interesting and instructive address. She also made mention that the society wishes everyone to decorate their door for Christmas when prizes will be given. Door prizes were won by Mrs. Ken Hazlett, Hemniller; Mrs. Carl Mills, Mrs. D. Fowler. The presi- dent, Mrs. F. 0. Mcilveen, pre- sided. USED RIFLES MARLIN 336-32 Special cal $75.00 REM. M141.30 cal pump action—excellent 125.00 REM.

Fred Thorndike, manager of the team was the per- son your reporter went to see to get the answer to this enestion, Fred did enlighten us on a few points concerning the squad. He told us that the team is working out every Tuesday and, Thursday • .. . , evenings in Clinton District Col- legiate Institute gymnasium. They have had up to 18 players out for practice and out of that number expect to have a team that will have to be reckoned with come playoff time. Some of the play- ers who seem certain of a regular berth are Pat Humphreys, Ken consisting o RCAF, Wingliam TWO, Last year's group Exeter (who also were all-Ontario semi-finalists) were forced to withdraw due to lack of players. Fred is arranging a few exhibition games and he hopes to have the first of these within the next two or three weeks, This column will keep all basketball fans informed of the progress that the team is making and we are certain that the sports-minded people of Clin- ton will turn out to help in a financial way, those who are re- sponsible for Clinton's first entry in a basketball league. 0 0 Cl All those interested in trying out for the Clinton "Colts" hockey team should get in touch with Manager Bert Glidden sometime very seen. Practice is expected to start at the end of this week. It is not known lust where the practices will be held, but this writer thinks that Goderich will get the nod if suitable hours can be arranged. 0 Q 0 In the recent WOAA report on the grouping for the year we see that Clinton has entered teams in the Midget series and the Ban- tam series. The Midgets are in a group with Goderich, Wingham, Ripley, Luckeow and Clinton, Goderich is a "B" entry, Clinton and Wingham "C" teams with' the remaining two clubs entered in the "D" classification. Clinton's Bantams find themselves having to contend with Goderich, Exeter, Seaforth and Lucan, Goderich is a "B" team, the other are "C". Clare and Murray Maltby are still stealing the spotlight in the athletic field. They are sons of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Maltby, for- mer Clinton residents, now living in Harriston. This time it is in six-man rugby. They have been playing for Norwell District High School in Palmerston and last Sat- urday won the WOSSA champ- ionship as they trounced Glencoe High School 56-0. Clare and Mur- ray must have run wild as Clare threw four touchdown passes and took the ball into the end zone himself on two occasion, and Mur- ray, aftert taking the opening kickoff all the way to pay-dirt, scored 'another later in the gamee Most sports fans in and around Clinton were happy to hear that Montreal Canadiens' great right winger, Maurice (The Rocket) Richard had scored his 325th goal as a player in the National Hoc- key League, which gave him the league's record for most goals scored by any one player in the history of the NHL. This record is perhaps the greatest that the Montreal player has won to date; but setting records seems to come naturally to The Rocket. Prev- ious to his last feat he had scored the most goals in one sea- son and most goals in. Stanley Cup playoffs. He won the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player for the 1944-45 season.
