DR. THOMPSON'S SUDDEN CALL.
•
It was with a shock of surprise
that the news was received Sunday
of the death of Dr. Thompson, one of.
Clinton's' most but -standing citizens.
Dr. Thompson has 'not been in the
best of health for the past year or
so "but.' has been attending to his
practise and during the present sea-
son, when there has been a lot of
sickness, he kept. at it day after day,
often taking long, cold drivel to look
after his patients, and when he was
himselfrick
st en down he had no re=
serve strength to -fall back upon and
rapidly sank. He was taken ill on
Wednesday and passed away' Sunday'
forenoon: His condition was consid-
ered so serious early Sunday morning
that his` sons ' were communicated
with ;and ,they immediately' made 'ar-;
rnngeinents to drive :from London,
which they did,,changing horses at
Lueen and Hensall, But they ar-.
rived some hotfs after he had passed
away. :
C. W. Thompson wins born in Bid-
dulph township, 'Middlesex county, in
1865, being the fifth son of tate late
Joshua Thompson of that township
and -later of St. Marys. Ile first'be-
gen to -study for the ministry 'and
spent 1889-90 et .Cobourg, but he
then took up the study ,of medicine
and graduated from Toronto College
of Medicine in 1893. In 1895 he took
post -graduate work in. ear, eye, nose
and throat diseases in London, Dub-,
lin and .Edinburgh, and in 1900 he
took a ,course in New York. He
,practised :medicine at Granton for a
time and in 1899 he came to Clinton,
--where,he built up a large practise.
He was ^,twice married. While at
Granton he married Miss ` Mary
• Greene, daughter of the late' Rev.
Josias Greene, who died in 1918. On
July 1st, 1920, he wag united to Miss
Lucy Stevens, of Clinton, who sur-
vives him.. He is survived by two
sons, Fred, who is attending the Wes-
tern. University,' London, and Charles,
of the London and Port Stanley rail-
way, and Miss. Marion' at home. He
is also survived .by his stop-inother,
Mrs. Thompson of Vancouver, B. C.,
two brothers, James Thompson, of
Penticton, B. C., and George Thomp-
son of Regina, Seek., and two sisters,
Mrs. J. Murray of Toronto and Mrs.
Pringle of Vancouver, B. C. Another
brother, Dr, Allan Thompson of Ham-
ilton, , died a short time. ago.
Since coming to Clinton Dr.
Thompson has always shown himself
a public-spirited citizen and for three
years, 1916-17-18, he filled the posi-
tion of mayor. of `the town° In re-
ligion he was a Methodist, being an
official member' of Ontario street
church. Ile was..a Conservative.' in'
polities and his opinione were listened
to in the councile'of the Party. His
comparatively early glassing is mat-
er for much regret, not only by his
family and mmediate friends, but by
a very large circle.
The funeral took place' on Tuee-
day afternoon, from Ontario street
church. The church was erowded
with friends from town and country,
anxious . to pay the -last, tribute of
respeet to one whom they had loved
and 'honouree in life, The service,

Clinton boys should feel no dishonor:
to be beaten by theteam that will
likely win the'troplry.' ,.Their 'play
was a trent to the Clinton fans and
the boys saw how real hockey should
be played. One could see that the
local5'lacked .experience and were
handicapped in' size but this defieit
was balanced by grit and ek Eat

true ,sportsnren,they are, cheered the

5n the fourth ' round Kitchener -is
booked' -up with St. 'Mary's, probably
the most dangerous team on the way
for the trophy;"soothe :lust of luck
and over' the top for them."
The visitors were not forced to
extend themselvesto the limit to
beat the Colts -here Thursday -night
by a score of 12-3, The: colts fought
back all through, even though they
were outclassed and the score mount-
ed with Surprising rapidity. But the
visitors didn't have things as much
their own 'way . as the score would
indicate. It was the champions' ex-
perience that made the difference and
they lost no opportunity to score
when within range: Clinton's at-
tack lost their( sting in front of -the
White and Rose defence, vhich.after
the first Clinton- goal tightened con-
siderably and it ,was seldom that -the
losers got to elose range, Bawden
scored Clinton's first counter on a
snappy shot. from 'outside defence..
Molson, Seibert, and Schnarr were
the best attackers for Kitchener and
their 'swift shots .`forced George to
snake some clever saves:. The locals'
defence, played too wide to_stop -the
speedy Schnarr - from. breaking
through in, his ':"•combination `:with'
Seibert, and time after time they
tools a shot on goal from 'but a few
feet in front: George stopped many
of them and saved his team front
even. a worse ibeating. Werner,
Schnarr figured-prbminentiy in the
goat, -getting; while Seibert .and Mil-
son were not far, behind. .These
three speed artists played perfect
hockey and their play seemed to
Work like clock work. It was won-
derful to see their formation and
their clever passes. The .Celts were
'travelling in fast company but did-
n't let 'them have it all their ` own
way. They broke up many combin-
ation rushes and for a time ;in the
third period 'had the play 'bottled up
in Kitchener end. Our boys were be-
coming accustomed to the visitors'
,plays and 'devised means of check-
ing them, besides Making many rush-
ee on the visitors', goal. "
InKitchener the Colts'went loon
I s t
nobly to a ' defeat of 10-1. They
battled -valiantly until the . gong
sounded to end :the night's play and
made many friends among the Kit-
diener fans,' even though they were.
eliminated from the O.H.A. race..
The impression left by the Clinton
youngsters was that they will be a
team to watch for the runners-up
next -year in •the O.H.A. for they
gave a :creditable exhibition of hock-
ey. The game was faster than that
on local ice. Kitchener tried to run
up a score to equal that of their In-
termediate team of 22 goals bat, fell
far short. In the second and third
periods they made some beautiful
plays but with little result, for when
,the defence missed then George ws,s
on the fob. ,
All our boys played wonderful
hockey and for the game's sake, for
they hadn't a chance to Win. They
were real sportsmen from the first
gong and returned feeling that they
had put up their best game and with^
the knowledge of many tricks that
they had never' seen worked out be
fore,

calling on the others to remember
their "passes" of the tasty victuals,
