Frank Udavari, National Hoc-
key League referee for the past six
seasons, was the guest speaker at
the Kinsmen Club of Clinton an-
nual sports dinner, Tuesday night.
Guests of the Kinsmen were the
members of the Peewee baseball
team, winners of the 'Weetern On-
tario Athletic Association champ-
ionship last summer; Canadiens,
the team that won the Town Lea-
gue Peewee hockey crown and the
Peewee All-Star hockey team who
played in the Young Canada Week
tournament in Goderich this
spring.
Don't Neglect Education
After being introduced by Kin
Don Colquhoun, the guest speaker
told his young attentive audience
to play sports whenever possible,
but cautioned them to never ne-
glect their education. He illus-

MCP
trated his point by naming players
who had failed to make the grade
in professional after being bril-
liant in the minors. These play-
ers, because of their education,
had been able to become very suc-
cessful in other businesses.
"You can always fall back on
education," the speaker said. ,
He warned the young players
not to be discouraged with life's
set-backs, remarking: that the
older you get the harder life's
knocks become. He told of his
own experience when as a young
hockey player he had dreamed of
becoming an NHL hockey player.
Working to that end, he climbed
the ladder until he had a try-out
with Stratford Indians, a Senior
club, only to find, that he wasn't
good enough to make the team,
The realization that he would nev-
er play professional was a
Very bitter one, but Mr. Udavari:
was quick to point out that he
had overcome his disappointment
and was now very happy with his
job as a referee.
Fate Played A Part
He explained . that he had be-
come a referee by a queer trick of
fate. While coaching a minor
hockey, team in Kitchener, his
home town, his team had reached'
the city finale. When the final
game was due to be played the
referee failed to appear, Frank
took over, his *in lost the ser-
ies, and his refereeing career was
started, Four years later Carl
Voss referee-in-chief of ,.the NHL
asked him to sign a contract to
referee in. the National Hockey
League. At present only li.ed
Storey has more experience in the
league, Frank estimated that he
had refereed over 1,200 genies
with his Most drastic schedule
being 1 games in 11 days.
Do 'What You Are Told
The speaker told the players
that they should appreciate the
time, effort and. money that was
being spent by their sponsoring or-
ganization. Re asked them to pay
a ttention to their coaches and to
always abide ;by their instructions.
Mr. Udavarl concluded his talk
with a question and` answer per-
led that was enjoyed to the fullest
by. the peewees who fired quest-
ions .with machine gun rapidity.

"Strength and Beauty" was the
subject of the sermon during the
church service in Wesley-Willis
United Church on Sunday when
the Clinton Lodge A.F. and A.M.
No. 84 paraded in full regalia,
commemorating the 100th anniv-
ersary of the masonic lodge here.
Rev. H. C. Wilson delivered the
sermon.
Taking part in the ,service was
Harry Ball, Worshipful Master`of
,the Clinton Lodge, who read the
Scripture lesson, 1 Kings 7; 13 to
22, and John is:• 1 to 17. The
choir sang a special anthem, and
William Craig sang "The Holy
City."
The Rev. a C. Wilson based his
sermon on the text: ',At the top
of the pillars was lily work; so
was the work of the pillars finish-
ed." He told of the craftsman,
Hiram of Tyre, who cast two
great pillars of broneee 30 feet
speakers received close attention
from their audience. Mr, Hill
stated that the reason for calling
the meeting was because though
agriculture is .the basic industry
in Canada, and all around boom-
ing economy is being enjoyed ,ag-
riculture is not participating in
this.
"Though," as Mr. Hill said, "the
OPU does not support any one
particular party, they did wish to
bring out the platform of both
parties, and then let the voters
decide for themselves."
Elston Cardiff, Progressive Con-
servative member in the federal
house for the past 16 years, was
the first speaker. He first pres-
ented then platform of the Pro-
gressive Conservatives as it affec-
ts agriculture, including the fol-
lowing pledges: to maintain flex-
ible price support .program; to in-
clude a definite formula .f or ar-
riving at a cost-price ratio and to
arrive at that in conference-With
farm boards; to favour marketing
boards, and assist in having them
organized on' a national level; to
make sure, if it were necessary to
sell produce on the world market
at lower than domestic cost, that
the producer alone would not
bear the cost; to safeguard again-
St unsafe importations; to ease
and assist with farm credit; estab-
lish a sound conservation. policy
and carry out an investigation in-
to' the spread between the con-
sumer and producer prices by
means of a royal commission.
Speaking froin his position as
eouraged at working on the farm
when they compare their earn-
ings with that of their friends in'
town, You can't get help: Wages
paid by industry are too high for
the farmer to compete against.
"We have had no consideration
for the past four, years—until just
recently. Now they tell us things
are going to be better. If they
are it will be the first time." (this
brought _strong applause from the
audience).
Motioning with a copy of the
Conservative 'platform, Mr. Card-
iff said, "If John Diefenbaker is
made prime minister, these polic-
ies will be implemented. We've
lost foreign trade because the
government has refused to act,
The Conservatives want 'a Com-
monwealth, trade conference and
the Liberals refuse to hold one.
The Farm Loan Board is much
too careful about their loans. The-
farmers are not stupid, and they
won't ask for money unless they
need it."
