SmaII Crowd Attends Races
Clinton Owne
Perfect fall weather on Thanks-
giving Day helped the Clinton
Turf Club stage their second and
final harness race meet of the
year. Approximately 800 fans
were on hand to witness the tests
of speed and they were not dis-
appointed as each heat of the four
events was hotly contested,
Clinton Horse Wins
The most thrilling races of the
afternoon for the partisan Clinton
crowd was the 2.23 class. In this
event Betty Jane Brook, owned by
George C. German of Clinton and
driven by Bud Yearly, Exeter, was
a straight heat winner. The Ger-
man horse came through in mag-
nificent style warding off a serious
threat from Ima Chips in each
heat to win by a length in the
good times of 2.16 1/5 and 2.15
2/5.
Two Year Old Impresses
A two-year-old colt, Jimmy
Champ, impressed all those pres-
ent with his speed and staying
power. This horse, owned and
driven by Neil McIntyre, Chat-
ham, went to the front right from
the wire and was never headed in
either heat, winning in 2.17 and
2.17 2/5. Walter G. Grattan fin-
d Horse Wins
ished second to the Chatham
speedster but the young colt seem-
ed to have plenty in reserve
should the occasion necessitate.
Fastest Heat
The fastest heat of the after-
noon was recorded by Nancy
Patch, a straight heat winner in
the 2.20 class, with the time of
2.15 1/5. 'This race was run in
three heats with the first heat
being a half mile race. Brown
Lee B chased Nancy Patch to the
wire in all three heats and made a
battle of things all the way.
In the 2.24 class, Dr. Houze, of
Mitchell, guided his black horse,
Norval Brook, over the finish line
well in front of the field in both
heats to take home top money.
Mix -Up
A slight mix-up occurred just
as the horses crossed the finish
line in the first heat of the non -
winners of $400. Dusty Miller's
Boy broke just as she passed the
finish line and Pat Lee Grattan
coming from behind barely had
time to swerve and miss the first
horse. The carts became en-
tangled with the result that the
right wheel of Dusty Miller's Soy's
cart was damaged beyond repair.

Only excellent driving by the two
men involved averted a more ser-

Dr. G. S. Elliott, .president of
the Clinton Turf Club, spoke to
the crowd briefly during the race
and expressed the appreciation of
the Turf Club for their support
and promised that next year there
would be bigger and better races
in Clinton.
The Bannockburn Pipe Band
played numerous selections be-

Redmen Suffer -
Loss To Seaforth
Score of 17-13
Seaforth and Clinton football
squads hooked up in a great bat-
tle yesterday afternoon. The group
leadership was at stake, both
teams having proviously won two
games, and the thought of remain-
ing undefeated kept all the play-
ers playing very hard. Seaforth
came out on top, edging the Red -
men 17-13.
Seaforth kicked off and shortly
afterward took the lead, 1-0 when
Elliott was roughed on Jerry
Bell's kick. Clinton roared right
back marching down the field with
a sustained drive that was reward-
ed when Bob Elliott booted a field
goal making the score 3-1,
Seaforth Score Twice
Before the half ended Seaforth
threatened to turn the game into
a rout when they scored two un-
converted touchdowns to run the
score up to 11-4 at half time. Muir
and McMillan were the players
who went into the end -zone.
Redmen Fight Back
CDCI's Redmen cane to life
early in the third quarter. Howard
Armstrong took the kick off and
ran it back to the mid -field stripe.
Ron Carter gathered in a long
pass from Ashdowne for the long-
est gain of the afternoon and a
few plays later Ron Steepe dove
over. Bob Elliott converted and
the score read Seaforth 11 -Clin-
ton 10.
The Redmen stopped a Seaforth
march on their own 40 -yard line
and after a few short running
plays that netted them two first
downs, Elliott kicked the ball
through the uprights -for his sec-
ond field goad. This made the
score 13-11 for Clinton.
Seaforth, not to be denied in
this game, climaxed a drive that
covered 45 yards with a touch-
down scored by Muir. McMillan
converted to make their total
reach 17.
Clinton battled desperately to
get another touchdown but were
stopped on Seaforth's one -yard
line.
CDCI °ra S NEWS
'TEEN TOWN
In case anyone wondered why
CDCI was all lit up last Friday
night, it was just a group of 'teen-
agers letting off steam after a
hard week of school. In other
words it was 'Teen Town, Al-
though Wingham held a big foot-
ball dance to which CDCI was in-
vited, the school was not entirely
deserted.
There was dancing from 8.30 un-
til 11.30 to new records and to
the old favourites. Several "Sadie
Hawkins' " dances gave the girls
a chance to grab an unsuspecting
male before he disappeared, and
the boys not to be outdone had a
chance to squire a broom .around
the floor for a record or two.
Goderich walked off with most
of the prizes when Bill Managhan
with Lillian McLean, Goderich,
won the spot dance and Bud Chis-
holm and Vera Rutledge, Gode-
rich, were the lucky couple in the
elimination dance. At 10.30 every-
one trooped upstairs to the soup
kitchen for cokes and tarts, the
boys lea Ing the way, naturally.
Several times during the even-
ing loud voices could be heard
from the hall where friendly (?)
games of cards' and checkers were
in progress. Highlight here were
the new checkerboards and can-
asta games,
Sounds like fun, doesn't it? It
is but only if everyone comes out.
Won't you remember to keep Fri-
day night open for 'Teen Town?
(This week initiation dance will
take the place of 'teen town).
INITIATION

the most talked about item at

school when the following offices
were filled: secretary -treasurer,
Betty Lou Nediger; librarian,
David Oakes; truant officer,
Jayne Mary Snell; pianists, Ruth.
Clarke, Mavis Stebpe, Helen Pzt.
