The coupons were taken from the

amount paid on their subscription.
One half went to the subscriber

FOR LIONS CLUB
Three new members were admit
ted to the Exeter Lions club at their
supper meeting Monday evening. A
splendid tribute was paid to Lion
Mac Walker, who has been a{,valued
member of the club, and who is
leaving shortly for Toronto. Mr.
Walker was presented with a splen
did auto rug as a good-will token
before his departure. It • was an
nounced at the meeting that Lion
Geo. Evans, of Canada Packers,
would be leaving shortly for Ches-
ley, where he has been transferred.
An expression of appreciation of his
service to the club was placed on
record and a committee appointed
to make a suitable (presentation.
Mr. C. L. Roberston, of Sarnia, who
recently purchased the drug busi
ness of Mr. walker, was a guest at
the meeting and introduced to the
members. Mr. Sturgis of the Exe
ter H. S. staff sang a solo that call
ed for an encore. Lion C. L. Bailey
of the Investor’s Syndicate, London,
was present and furnished. an illus
trated and talking lecture on "The
Blind Spot of Science.” The lecture
recalled the advance made in many
lines during the past hundred years,
the enormous amount of wealth that
has been created and contrasted it
with the

dollar earned, taking it out first

G. Waters, mayor of Clinton. He
was not present and Arthur G. Per
ry spoke on his behalf. When a
standing vote between the two can
didates took place, the convention
stood behind Mr. Morley over
whelmingly. The others named, but
who withdrew were Frank Donnel
ly, Goderich; H. G. Meir and Glenn
Hays, both of Seaforth. Mr. Mor
ley was nominated by Thomas
Pryde, of Exeter, who said it was
the first political convention he
had ever attended.
“I have never taken a keen in
terest in affairs, but now I believe
the time has arrived when it is the
duty of every ejector to do his or
her part in getting behind a Nai
tional Government and in throwing
party politics aside for the duration
of the war,” declared Mr. Pryde,
Tn offering the name of Mr. Mor
ley, Mr. Pryde said he had known
him for many years and he spoke
highly of the character and ability
of his fellow towns-man.

declared it was the duty of every

Canada will show that she stands

Glenn Hays, of Seaforth, said
that for personal reasons he would
be unable to allow his name to go
before the convention. This is a
time when every true Canadian
should be a Canadin first and put
his party last, said Mr. Hays,

“He is the man we want

that Mr. Waters would make the
strongest showing of any candidate
in the forthcoming election.

Chowan was very effective.

time in the nets. At the nine min-
uate mark Howe opened the scor
ing banging a rebound from Cluff's
long shot. Chowan started another
drive and set up a perfect pass to
R. Paul who bulged the hemp with
a nice backhand to the far corner.
Howe made it 3-0 a minute later
when Shier drawing the defense out
of position slipped the pass to him
to sink the disc behind .Smith.
With Cluff in the penalty box in
the opening minutes of the second
stanza Crediton’s power play back
fired when R. Paul took the puck
and with nobody back skated in
on Smith and gave him no chance
to save. This goal whs at ..the 12
minute mark. McCarty put tiie fifth
one behind .Smith 3 minutes later
from a scramble in front of the net.
G. Paul beat Smith with a low shot
to the far corner from the blue line.

running scoring their first goal wi,th
a low shot. (Crediton made it 2-6
