Johnny G, the,great horse own-
ed by Dick Jacob and Lorne
Brown has brought another hon-
our to Clinton for the first time.
This horse, which impressed so
many harness horse fans with his
tremendous speed and staying
power, on tracks throughout On-
tario has been selected Ontario
Horse of the Year. This is the
first time that this honour has
come to Clinton and the owners
of Johnny G are to be congratu-
lated on their success. Johnny G's
record of 2.07 was the best record-
ed on an .Ontario track for some
time and the fact that he attain-
ed such a mark as a three year
old is warning enough to other
horsemen of the sport to watch
out for the "Clinton Flash" in the
coming summer months.
Harry McEwan's 14 points leads
the scoring parade in so far as
the local team is concerned. His
total made of eight goals and
six assists give him a four point
lead over Bill 'Hanly who has ten
points with five goals and five as-
sists to his credit.
0
Bud Schoenhals leads the team
in minutes in the penalty box hav-
ing spent eleven minutes in the
sin -bin. Dan Colquhoun is the
runner-up for the bad man title
with eight minutes. Bill Hanly
and Johnny Wilson are the only
members of the team who have
not served a penalty,
Bill Nediger has a slight edge
over Bill Tideswell in the goals
against column. Nediger has al-
lowed seventeen goals in three
games while Tideswell has been
scored upon 21 times in the two
games he has played.

Clinton Colts Edge
New Hamburg 8-7
Three unanswered goals in the
third period put the Clinton Colts
back in the win column after three
Straight losses, which is one of
the longest losing streaks that the
local team has suffered in the past
few years. However on Saturday
fright they were not to be denied
'and after trailing 7-4 late in the
second period came back to score
four unanswered goals to take the
verdict.
Bad Second
The second period seems to be
the nemesis of the Colts as in
practically every game to date
,they have allowed the opposing
team to score several goals that
have in all the games been the
margin that spelled defeat. Sat-
urday night's game was no excep-
tion and once again nearly proved
their downfall. New Hamburg
rapped in five goals in that fate-
ful period to take a 7-5 lead which
at the time looked almost insur-
mountable.
Strong Finish
Clinton came out in the third
period and applied the pressure
from the opening whistle. Haunn
in the New Hamburg net was cal-
led upon to make innumerable sav-
es that were nothing short of
spectacular as the local team
stormed around his citadel. At
the 4:00 minute mark Don Strong
put the Colts within one goal of
the visitors as he took Hanly's re-
bound to beat the prostrate
Haunn. Nine minutes and ten
seconds later things were all tied
up when McEwan trapped Schoen-
hals' shot at the goal -mouth and
drove the puck under Haunn's
pads. The 400 odd partisan fans
really went wild as Edgar took
McEwan's pass and golfed the
puck over Haunn's outst>:etched
arm to give the Colts their mar-
gin of victory.
An added thrill for the spectat-
ors took place late in the final
period when New Hamburg pulled
their goal tender in favour of an
extra forward in the attempt to
get the tieing goal. This nearly
backfired as McEwan broke away
only to hit the goal post of the
.empty net.
Lineups:
New Hamburg: goal, Haunn; de-

Joint Formal Dance
Was Successful Affair
The formal dance held on Mon-
day evening, December 22, by the
Clinton Badminton Club and the
Kinsmen Club of Clinton was a
big success. There were enough
people present to make a pleasant
evening for dancing to the music
of Paul Cross and his orchestra.
Winners of the spot dances were
Shirley Proctor and Bob Marshall;
Bob Allen and Joan Wheatley;
Leota Freeman and Don Shana-
han; Bernice Jenks and Len John-

Milverton Wallop
Clinton Colts 13-3
Milverton Dominions had little
trouble with the Clinton Colts last
evening as they walloped the loc-
al crew 13-3. Milverton were far
superior in every department, out -
skating, outbumping and outplay-
ing the Colts throughout the en-
tire contest. Jack Westman was
the big man for the Dominions ac-
counting for five goals and assis-
ting on one other. May, Edgar
and McEwan scored the Clinton
goals.
Nediger Injured
Midway through the first per-
iod Bill Nediger suffered a should-
er injury as he was attempting to
thwart a Milverton attack. Bill
Tideswell was rushed in to replace
the injured Clinton net minder.
At the present moment it is not
known just hoW seriously Bill has
been injured but it is expected he
will definitely be out of the game
for some time.

Sunday School Concert
In the Varna Town Hall on
Tuesday, December 23 the
United Church Sunday School
concert and Christmas Tree took
place before a large audience.
Rev. T. J. Pitt was chairman.
Some of the items on the pro-
gramme had been previously
given in the day -school concerts
but they were worth repeating,
and were well received. Santa
Claus again paid a visit to the
village and his arrival was hail-
ed with great glee.
Skating Party
On the evening of Boxing Day,
Mel Webster took a party of
young people nearly forty in all
in his truck, to the rink in Clin-
ton for skating. This gesture of
Mr. Webster's was very much
appreciated by all, If the cold
weather continues the rink at
Varna will soon be put in good
order. The Orangemen here, in-
tend to supervise this work as a
service to the community.
Y.P.U. Social
The Varna and Goshen United
Y.P.U.. held. •a Christmas social'
on Monday, December 22, inthe
basement of the Church. Pre-
ceding the social, the young
people sang Christmas Carols ?
the village to the great delight
of all. The shut-ins, particularly
were glad to hear them. Foll-
cwing a crokinole tournament in
which all the young people took
part, a lunch was served. A
committee decorated the base-
ment in keeping with the festive
season.
Carol Service
A carol service was held in
the Varna. United Church, on
Sunday night, December 28. In
addition to carols sung by the
choir, the well-known Christmas
hymns were sung by the congre-
gation. Two Christmas poems
'and a story were read, and the
programme included a candle -
lighting service by the members
of the choir. It was entitled "The
Light of the World," and was
very effectively rendered. The
offering was on behalf of Choir
funds.
Goshen United Church
A Christmas Eve service was
held in the Goshen Church at 8
o'clock. It was conducted by the
Rev. T. J. Pitt who also gave an
address. The organist was Mrs.
Elmer Hayter. Mesdames Elmore
Keyes and Elmer Hayter sang a
duet. Mrs. Russell Erratt was the
accompanist. Last year the
Christmas Eve service was held
at Varna, and there is a growing
feeling that a service on Christ-
mas Eve makes a fine prelude to
the Christmas season and helps
