Turning to more seasonal topics, the Clinton Colts, this towns entry in the Huron -Perth Baseball Lea- gue will take to the field on-Mon- day nMon-day evening (weather permitting).

Members of the Goderich Lions Club who are in charge. of Young Canada Week have scarcely got their breath from the hectic week of hockey just concluded: Now t hey are already plunged into the problems of next year. Their big- gest headache will be how to ac- commodate the increased number of teams that are certain to want '- -to participate in the annual spring classic. An indication of, the keen. interest that has been aroused by this event is shown by the fact that the first entry for next year has already been received. Gravenhurst Peewee hockey club, an entry in the "B" division which, is a class for communities with a population Up to 3,500 are the first to signify their entry. It has been annuonced that more than 10,000 hockey followers saw this year's competition, Actually, 7,421 paid their way in, but boost- er tickets sold by the Lions Club allowed fans to attend at all times. In addition there was no charge for morning contests. Five years ago when the first Young Canada Week was held there were 13 teams entered and fans were limited to parents and friends of the competitors. This year, 48 teams participated and lie mail Kinsmen, Getting back to hockey. The On- tario Hockey Association held the annual meeting in Toronto last Saturday and although most of the business will have little or no bear- ing on the local hockey picture there were two points on the agenda that were important to In- termediate "B" hockey as a whole. The first was the elimination of the icing the puck rule which means that if a team is one man short they will not be allowed to ice the puck, Going a little further the -powers that be decided that if a team was two men short that icing would be permissible. The other item of interest to Clinton was the defeat of the mo- tion whereby 01 -IA Intermediate teams would ice 15 men instead of the 12 -player limit now in force. 1 TIIIIT SAY... t\ I tl 4 "MOM YDU'RE WOIIDE.

TRal ph) Genttner, president of the Ex- eter kin, Don Southcott and Les Parker, and has 19 active members headed by president D. J. (Doug.) McKelvie. Guest speaker for the. meeting was W. T. (Bill) Valentine, Tor- onto, national , vice-president of Kinsmen Clubs: He said that, he liked to think of all the members of Kin as a brotherhood which defined in Webster's dictionary means " a group of persons of a like kind,"" this he felt was a good definition of Kin. ''Brotherhood," the speaker said, "begins in the home, and the harmony and good- will that goes with it spreads from the home, to the community, to the immediate district, to nations and throughout the world." "If broth- erhood, goodwill and harmony were extended to the maximum in these troubled times, then the differences that confront the wor- ld would become less charp and in time there would be a real peace." Mr. Valentine pointed out to the members of the new club that this year Icinsmanship had cele- brated its 34th anniversary and had grown in that short time from an idea of two men to a very strong service organization that today has over 10,000 members, He advised the Hensall KM to be CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Incidents Crowd Police Blotter;' Two Accidents.
