There- aro herearo now over 70 such Associations in the Prdvinee -affiliated with -the On- tario School Trustees' and Ratepay- ere'. Association.

The last entertainment of the Ly- cemn course put on jn Clinton dur- ing the past winter under the au- spices of the Girls' Auxiliary, was given in the town hall on Friday ev- ening by Roselth Knnap'p Breed, as- sisted by Miss Edna McCaughey.. Mrs. Breed is a reader of mnique talent, giving character sketches, mostly in costume, in a very clever and entertaining way. Her interpre- tation of the several characters she assumed was exceedingly clever and every one was enjoyed. She works so smoothly, losing her own identity in the character which she is for the moment portraying, although she donned and doffed the different cos- tumes on the stage before the aud- ience. Most of her sketches were humourous but she was equally good in pathetic parts. Her program was most thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Edna McCaughey, who is one of Clinton's younger musicians, gave several selections on the piano in a very charming manner. Clinton will be glad at any time to hear her again. The Girls' Auxiliary is to be con- gratulated upon the splendid success of this second concert course. Every one of the four concerts was a treat in its way and only the extremely disagreeable weather on Friday pre- vented the attendance of a far great- er crowd. The Auxiliary has not made a great deal of money out of this course, the expenses being high, but the young ladies have the satis- faction of knowing that they have brought within reach of the people of Clinton and surrounding vicinity a series of high class entertainments which would not otherwise have conte this way. The people are now looking for- ward to the Chautauqua, the date of which has been set for July six, sev- en, eight and nine. TAKES IMPORTANT POSITION, The following from the Pasadena (Cal,) Star -News, refers to the son- in-law of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Cook of town. Mr. and.' Mrs. Howson vis- ited the latter's parents in town be- fore leaving for Pasadena: "Ralph R. Hewson of Toronto Can- ada, arrived this morning to take ov- er his duties as superintendent of the Pasadena Hospital. The posi- tion is a new one, createdby the board of trustees, and in filling it Mr, I-Iewson will be in executive charge of the institution. He conies to Pasadena from the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital where he has been as- sistant superintendent for the past two years, With the engaging of Mr. Hewson as superintendent, Miss Lena R. Dav- is becomes superintendent of the Training School for Nurses. The new superietcndoet is a young man but has had experience of a nature that fits him well for the position. His acceptance of the Psa- adena offer has been a matter of greet satisfaction to the board of trustees and physicians of the city who feel that his coining will mean the opening of a new era of prosper- ity and efficiency for the hospital. Mr. Hewson is a Canadian war veteran. In April, 1915, he went to Frame with the Canadian 'Engineer- ing Corps and served there for four years, returning in May, 1919. Pro- vious to his war service Mr. Hew- son was for two years chief of liar - bar ,construction with ithe 'Toronto Harbor Commission. When first conneeted with the To- ronto General Hospital in 1919, Mr. Hewson acted as superintendent of buildings, but in October of that same year was made assistant stip- erintenclent kn recognition of his marked executive ability, engineering experience and efficient- methods, Mt'. Hewson will bring the most modern system of hospital manage- ment to Pasadena and is expected to put into effect methods which will snake for the improvement of the al- ready splendidly organized local 10- stitution. Mrs, Hewson accompanied her hus- band: They Will spend a few clavS gettin gsettlocl here before Mr. How - toe takes up his duties: Ile farm. iliariaed himself with the situation and leeal problems about a month - ago when ,he calite. to Pasadena ,frotni 1orente at the call of the hoard of trttstoes to talk.tivel' theft eff'et'e" WILL PUT ROOF ON. Mr. B. Lanford*, who purchased the Commercial hotel grond, has also purchased the walls of the build- ing as it now stands and will tear down his own garage and roof this, which will make a more commodious and substantial garage and office. Mr. Langford. who does not need the whole plot of ground.. will sell the two- back lots, those facing on Mary street and has already had a couple of offers for them. There is a move on foot for the purchase of the ground for the erection of a com- munity shed and there is also some talk of making a town park of the plot. But nothing. definite has as yet been done. C. C. I. TENNIS'. :The pupils of the Clinton Colleg- iate Institute organized a Tennis Club on April 20th. The following officers were elected: Hon. President. Major M. D. Mc- Taggart. President, Principal Treleaven. Vice -President, Miss Mary McTag- nevi. Sec. -Treasurer,, Miss Norma Tre- leaven. Management Committee, Miss L J. McDougall, M.

This tournament is open to theub- lic. Any wishing to play are invited to give their names to Miss Norma Treleaven before five o'clock Friday evening. THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY. The following from a Seattle pa- per refers to a former citizen. It will be remembered that Mr. Streets WAS beaten and robbed while alone in the house in which he was staying in Seattle last winter: "After an hour's deliberation a jury in Judge A. W, Frater's de- partment of the superior Court yes- terday evening found Calvin Lunce- ford and Nelson Shuman guilty of the robbery of William D. Streets in his horse in Youngstown on Febru- ary 27th, when Streets was robbed of $500 in Canadian Victory Bonds. The verdict sustains the array of circumstantial evidence presented by the state against the two defendents, whose only defense was an alibi, which was supported by the testi- mony of only cue witness Mrs. Mar- tha H. Frost, Lunceford's grand- mother. The defendents did not take the stand. ' Lunceford and Shuman were ar- rested on suspician shortly after the robbery. Both were later identified by Streets as the sten who had robbed him. Other links in the ohain of circumstantial evidence were the fact that 3500 in Canadian Vic- tory bonds was found after they lead been placed in the city jail in the pa- trol wagon in which they were tak- en there and that one of them had a cut on his head such as s5treets told the officers he had infiicred on one of his assailant§ at the time of the robbery." Later they received sen- tences of from 10 to 20 years in the State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, A motion for a new trial was denied. REGRETTED 'THEIR DEPARTURE. The following from the Teeswater News speaks for itself. Mr. and Mrs. Constantione are both very well known in Clinton, the former having been on the staf of the local branch of the Molsons Bank for sometime and the latter being formerly Miss C. Chidley of town: ' "Mr. J. A. Constantine.. who has been the local manager of The Nel- sons Bank, for the past six years, has been transferred to the branch at Camrose, Alta„ and leaves this week for the west. Before his departure a number of the business mon and lady friends of Mrs. Constantine, gave them a sur- prise at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Kennedy on Monday evening, where in a few well-chosen remarks, Rev. W.' A. Bradley bid them. God-epfed, and the following appreciation read and presented to Mr. Constantine. On behalf of tine friends present Miss Case presented them with a pair of handsome upholstered willow chairs. . AN APPRECIATION We're gathered here this evening Just in a social way, Professional and business men. A kind farewell to say To one whose worth we all confesis, Whose virtues we 'have seen, And that's what makes it hard to Part With J. A. Constantino No enterprise or project launched, For old Teeswater's good, But on our guest's support and help, Depend we ever could. At council board, in library, Or hydro enterprise. We found his judgement always good His counsel always wise. We'll amiss him in our •social hours, We'll miss hint at the Bank, But 'niotig good fellows we will o'et Accord hint forontest rank We'll not forget his tenial senile Though distance rolls between, Affirming we regret to mart With J A. Constantine. . Th his reply Mr. Coatan i . very graolously thanked the friends for i their kid thoughts and handsome a gift, :tad 'emailed ,that the six r years ift Teeswater hada been the hate. s Most of his life, and the friends here would always be retnornbeved," 1 s A LUCKY ESCAPE. While at work in his factory yes- terday Mr. J. Stephenson had his sleeve caught in a revolving shaft and the garment was quickly torn from his arm. IIis arm was some- what wrenched but he got, off luck- ily as he was alone and if his cloth- ing had not given away he might have been severely injured. AT1{ENDED DIVINE SERVICE. The members of Clinton Lodge No. 83 I. 0. 0. F. attended divine service in the Baptist church on Sunday last, about sixty gathering at the lodge rooms and marching down in a body. The Rev! G. I.

The Ridgetown Dominion last week had the following reference 'to the death of Mr. E. H. Betts, brother of Mr. A. E. Betts of Clinton, which oc- curred last week after but a few days illness: "The death occurred on Tuesday afternoon of Mr. E. H. Betts, one of Ridgetown's most respected and successful business men. yr. Betts was operated Jon Tor appendicitis last week, and though the case was a serious one it was hoped that he would recover. On Monday morning he was reported to he imporving, but the improvement was not con- tinued and Mr. Betts passed away on Tuesday morning, He was born at Pickering, Ont. 58 years ago, and came to Ridgetown form Milton about ten years ago, purchasing the bak- ing business of the late Edward Mit- ton. From the comparatively small business at that time Mr. Betts de- veloped a' business which supplies not only Riclgetown but practically all the surrounding country and smaller villages. He stood high in the estimation of his fellow business- men, as testified by the beautiful floral wreath sent by the Bakers' Association as a tribute, and by the fact that the local business places are closed this afternoon out of re- spect to his memory, es are also the schools. The late Mr. Betts was a member of the public school board for many years and at the time of his death was the representative of that body on the high school board.

The last entertainment of the Ly- cemn course put on jn Clinton dur- ing the past winter under the au- spices of the Girls' Auxiliary, was given in the town hall on Friday ev- ening by Roselth Knnap'p Breed, as- sisted by Miss Edna McCaughey.. Mrs. Breed is a reader of mnique talent, giving character sketches, mostly in costume, in a very clever and entertaining way. Her interpre- tation of the several characters she assumed was exceedingly clever and every one was enjoyed. She works so smoothly, losing her own identity in the character which she is for the moment portraying, although she donned and doffed the different cos- tumes on the stage before the aud- ience. Most of her sketches were humourous but she was equally good in pathetic parts. Her program was most thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Edna McCaughey, who is one of Clinton's younger musicians, gave several selections on the piano in a very charming manner. Clinton will be glad at any time to hear her again. The Girls' Auxiliary is to be con- gratulated upon the splendid success of this second concert course. Every one of the four concerts was a treat in its way and only the extremely disagreeable weather on Friday pre- vented the attendance of a far great- er crowd. The Auxiliary has not made a great deal of money out of this course, the expenses being high, but the young ladies have the satis- faction of knowing that they have brought within reach of the people of Clinton and surrounding vicinity a series of high class entertainments which would not otherwise have conte this way. The people are now looking for- ward to the Chautauqua, the date of which has been set for July six, sev- en, eight and nine. TAKES IMPORTANT POSITION, The following from the Pasadena (Cal,) Star -News, refers to the son- in-law of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Cook of town. Mr. and.' Mrs. Howson vis- ited the latter's parents in town be- fore leaving for Pasadena: "Ralph R. Hewson of Toronto Can- ada, arrived this morning to take ov- er his duties as superintendent of the Pasadena Hospital. The posi- tion is a new one, createdby the board of trustees, and in filling it Mr, I-Iewson will be in executive charge of the institution. He conies to Pasadena from the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital where he has been as- sistant superintendent for the past two years, With the engaging of Mr. Hewson as superintendent, Miss Lena R. Dav- is becomes superintendent of the Training School for Nurses. The new superietcndoet is a young man but has had experience of a nature that fits him well for the position. His acceptance of the Psa- adena offer has been a matter of greet satisfaction to the board of trustees and physicians of the city who feel that his coining will mean the opening of a new era of prosper- ity and efficiency for the hospital. Mr. Hewson is a Canadian war veteran. In April, 1915, he went to Frame with the Canadian 'Engineer- ing Corps and served there for four years, returning in May, 1919. Pro- vious to his war service Mr. Hew- son was for two years chief of liar - bar ,construction with ithe 'Toronto Harbor Commission. When first conneeted with the To- ronto General Hospital in 1919, Mr. Hewson acted as superintendent of buildings, but in October of that same year was made assistant stip- erintenclent kn recognition of his marked executive ability, engineering experience and efficient- methods, Mt'. Hewson will bring the most modern system of hospital manage- ment to Pasadena and is expected to put into effect methods which will snake for the improvement of the al- ready splendidly organized local 10- stitution. Mrs, Hewson accompanied her hus- band: They Will spend a few clavS gettin gsettlocl here before Mr. How - toe takes up his duties: Ile farm. iliariaed himself with the situation and leeal problems about a month - ago when ,he calite. to Pasadena ,frotni 1orente at the call of the hoard of trttstoes to talk.tivel' theft eff'et'e" WILL PUT ROOF ON. Mr. B. Lanford*, who purchased the Commercial hotel grond, has also purchased the walls of the build- ing as it now stands and will tear down his own garage and roof this, which will make a more commodious and substantial garage and office. Mr. Langford. who does not need the whole plot of ground.. will sell the two- back lots, those facing on Mary street and has already had a couple of offers for them. There is a move on foot for the purchase of the ground for the erection of a com- munity shed and there is also some talk of making a town park of the plot. But nothing. definite has as yet been done. C. C. I. TENNIS'. :The pupils of the Clinton Colleg- iate Institute organized a Tennis Club on April 20th. The following officers were elected: Hon.

The following from a Seattle pa- per refers to a former citizen. It will be remembered that Mr. Streets WAS beaten and robbed while alone in the house in which he was staying in Seattle last winter: "After an hour's deliberation a jury in Judge A. W, Frater's de- partment of the superior Court yes- terday evening found Calvin Lunce- ford and Nelson Shuman guilty of the robbery of William D. Streets in his horse in Youngstown on Febru- ary 27th, when Streets was robbed of $500 in Canadian Victory Bonds. The verdict sustains the array of circumstantial evidence presented by the state against the two defendents, whose only defense was an alibi, which was supported by the testi- mony of only cue witness Mrs. Mar- tha H. Frost, Lunceford's grand- mother. The defendents did not take the stand. ' Lunceford and Shuman were ar- rested on suspician shortly after the robbery. Both were later identified by Streets as the sten who had robbed him. Other links in the ohain of circumstantial evidence were the fact that 3500 in Canadian Vic- tory bonds was found after they lead been placed in the city jail in the pa- trol wagon in which they were tak- en there and that one of them had a cut on his head such as s5treets told the officers he had infiicred on one of his assailant§ at the time of the robbery." Later they received sen- tences of from 10 to 20 years in the State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, A motion for a new trial was denied. REGRETTED 'THEIR DEPARTURE. The following from the Teeswater News speaks for itself. Mr. and Mrs. Constantione are both very well known in Clinton, the former having been on the staf of the local branch of the Molsons Bank for sometime and the latter being formerly Miss C. Chidley of town: ' "Mr. J. A. Constantine.. who has been the local manager of The Nel- sons Bank, for the past six years, has been transferred to the branch at Camrose, Alta„ and leaves this week for the west. Before his departure a number of the business mon and lady friends of Mrs. Constantine, gave them a sur- prise at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Kennedy on Monday evening, where in a few well-chosen remarks, Rev. W.' A. Bradley bid them. God-epfed, and the following appreciation read and presented to Mr. Constantine. On behalf of tine friends present Miss Case presented them with a pair of handsome upholstered willow chairs. .
