Mitchell Shut -oat Colts
In Final Game 1a-0
It took' Mitchell ,eLegionaires
nine games +to eliminatethe Clin-
ton Colts but when they succeeded
there was no doubt as to which
' Was the better team. The teams
had been deadlocked after seven
games and a two -game total -goal
round was drawn up to determine
which club would enter the group
finals against Milverton. Then the
roof fell in on the Colts, Mitchell
took the :first game in Clinton 9-3
and last Thursday night they
• handed the locals .the, worst drub-
bing that a Clinton' team . has.
absorbed in many a moon when
they blankedthe bewildered Colts
10-0,
There were no excuses for or
from the Clinton team. They were
beaten by a team that played bet-
. ter hockey in every department,
Mitchell, after a slow ,start in the
series seemed to gather momen-
tum and the Colts just; faded away.
until they were just a shadow of
the team that took the first two
games of the series.
•
Chessel Stars
Bruce Chessel, the tall Mitchell
netminder, was perhaps the t big
star of the . Legionaires, and one
of the big reasons, for 'his .team's
success. His brilliant stops in. all
the games rallied his team from
what seemed certain defeat and it
was a just reward that he should
earn a shutout before the series
ended.
.In the final game the Colts just
didn't have it. Mitchell took over
from the drop of the puck and
never let up for the entire game.
They outshot Clinton by only
35-33 during the , game but when
the opportunity .presented' itself
they made no mistakes. Gibson
and Powell were the men who
nailed the Colts' coffin down the,
tightest, both players scored four.
goals; Smith and Weber were the
other men to beat German.
After the last whistle the Clin-
ton players rushed over to their
conquerors a n d congratulated
them in true sportsmanlike .man-
ner.. It was a hard fought series
and the best team won. Clinton
fans will wish the Mitchell team
continued success along the play-
off trail,

Glew Tops Scorer s
During the past two. weeks the
Kinsmen Minor Hockey League
has been quite active. All the
teams have been in action at least
twice with the league -leading
Bruins wideningtheir margin to
nine full points over the Red
Wings by winning all their games,
two on the ice and one by default
when the Leafs failed to have
enough men on hand to ice a
team.. Red Wings did not fare so
well; they "saw their' hold on sec-
ond place dwindle to one point
over Canadiens when they lost
to that team 5.3. The Red, Wings
did manage ;to salvage one win, a
T-0 victory over Leafs, in an °oth-
erwise drastic two weeks. Canad-
iens won two, games beating Leafs
8-1 and Red Wings 5-3, losing to
Bruins 6-4. The lowly Leafs are
still seeking their first win, they
have managed only two tiesin
their nine games played to date..
Frarnk Grew Leade Scoring
Frank Glew continues to hold
the top spot in the scoring column
but he is being pressed hard by
Peter Garon, Canadiens top man,
and linemate Ken Currie. Ronnie
Livermore, .the third man on. the
Bruins' front line has continued to
climb and now holds down fourth
spot as has Paul Pickett who
doubled, his average during the
past two weeks and has . pulled
into a tie for fifth place beside
Gerald Cox. Peter Garon is the
top goal -getter of the league with
22 goals while Ken Currie, has the
honour of. being the best play -
maker and the bad -man of the
league. Ken has received credit
for 11 assists and has spent 16
minutes in the penalty box.

Department advised that a fall

annual Christmas entertainment,
pupils of S.S. No. 5 I•Iullett Town-
ship, under the direction of their
teacher, Miss Ruth Keyes, Sea -
forth, bought and presented a
table lamp for a hospital room at
the Clinton Public Hospital. For
the past 15 years pupils from this
school have provided furnishings
for the hospital room. '

mementoes of the officials in the

Already . a committee <appointed:
for the purpose had made ar-
rangements to' use the old colleg-+
iate building in Goderich, while
the old Court House was demolish-
ed and the proposed new one built, ! .
and the offices of the County are
now located there. Telephones were•
installed on Monday. County
workmen were busy all that day
clearing debris from the centre of
the building:
Warden W. T. Dale, reeve of
Hullett Township,predicted that
it would take probably ten days.
to get things in working order,.
and that then the County Council'
would hold- an- emergency meeting.
An officer from the Ontario.
Fire Marshall's- office made a
routine check of the blaze on
Sunday, but the cause of the fire
has not yet been determined. Re-
portedly insured for $75,000, the.
County had been offered $7,000
by a wrecking firm for the demol-
ition of the structure.
The new Court House, (for
which debentures have already
been raised, and $350;000 in a
trust fund is readily available for
its structure) will cost an approx-
Monster Bazaar
Receives Support
The conveners of the monster
bazaar to be sponsored in the fall
of this year reported at the mon-
thly meeting of the Ladies Hospi-
tal Auxiliary that the public was
reacting wonderfully.
Co-operation has been assured
by all the organizations contacted
thus far. Many women's organ-
izations both around and in Clin-
ton are lending their support to
the project to raise money for the
new nurses' residence.
The executive of the Auxiliary
is to be in charge of a draw to
be held in association with the
bazaar.
Mrs. Harry Ball, presided over
the meeting. Mrs. Douglas Bart-
liff submitted the minutes and
the treasurer, Mrs. A. J. McMur-
ray,. reported a bank credit of
$429.96.
The convener of the buying
committee, Mrs. C. Epps was auth-
orized to purchase a suitable
lamp for the waiting room of the
hospital, in keeping with the re-
cently acquired furnishings prov-
ided by the Auxiliary.
Miss A. B. Sinclair expressed
thanks to the Auxiliary for the
many favors conferred upon the
hospital in the past and stated
that the addition of the waiting
room would be greatly apprecia-
ted.
Mrs. 3. A. Addison, reported a
membership of 411 to date, and
expected a goodly number to join
from the rural districts in the
near future.
The Auxiliary secretary was in-
structed to convey thanks to the
Canadian Legion for the offer of
the Legion Hall for any occasion
that could serve the auxiliary.
At the close of the meeting

lair, with Mrs. M. D. McTaggart

According , to both caretaker -
James Sheardown and Clerk A. H.
Erskine speaking to a Clinton
News -Record reporter the after
noon previous to the fire, care of
the old building had been kept to,
an absolute minimum ever since.
talk of a new .building had begun..
This meant that during the past -
six years only absolutely necessary
reports were made. Windows were
replaced if broken right out, but'
allowed to remain if only cracked.
Every window, it is believed, was
in need of repair, either through
new panes, fresh puttying, new -
sills, or in some other manner..
Mr. Sheardown stated that he'
though the steam furnace had
been installed either in 1921 or,
1922. He said that several'
of the radiators leaked; and if'
left turned on would soon fill an,
office with steam. He stated also,.
that they had been afraid to touch,
the heating system to repair it -
anywhere, because they might'
have to continue repairs right;
back to the furnace.
Clerk A. H. Erskine discussed'
the need for bracing up of the•
structure underneath, where the•
original beams were rotting and'
letting the corner of the building'
down. This was quite visible in,
the sheriff's office, where the.
sinking .of the floor was easily
seen. Delay in repairing they
foundations was made until final
decision regarding the building of
a new Court House was received;
Discovery of the fire was made
at 8,20 p.m. by James Sheardown
as he entered to do his night's
work. As he opened the door to,
his office, just inside the first
entrance, a cloud of smoke poured'
out. The caretaker's office was a
tiny room at the head of the base-
ment stairs. He called the fire
department, and upon its arrival'
the building was full of smoke.
Flames burst through the roof on
the east side of the building and
soon everything was a mass of
flames.
