Is Clinton going to have an Int- ermediate hockey team this sea- son? That is the question that a great many people ,ask, us every day. ,;Sad as it may seem the out- look is not at all promising. A few months ago the hockey team executive decided that they would try to organize a 'home- brew" league. They hoped to get encouragement from Listowel, Wingham, " Goderich, Kincardine, Mitchell, Milverton and New Ham- burg. A letter was sent to all these clubs ' asking if , theywere interested in such a league and if so would they please acknowledge. The idea was to get enough inter- ested parties, have a meeting and organize a group—then go to a parent body, either the WOAA or OHA seeking an, affiliation. Apparently this idea, and we think it is a good one, is doomed to failure—at least for this year, There hasn't been a single reply, which seems to indicate that all the teams of the district are either going in for another season of high-priced help or folding up en- tirely. An effort was made to obtain a playing coach. This too failed and has been practically forgotten. It all boils down to one thing—money — and unfortunately the hockey team or any organization interest- ed in the winter sport is not ;fin- ancially in a position to ice a con- tender. Some people will say that Clin- ton has to have a team but it is 'senseless to ice a team that will be beaten 80 per cent of the time —even a home-brew team would take a financial licking under those conditions. Even Clinton hockey fans like to see a contender and to get one will involve a big risk to someone. • CDCI Redmen ; Get Off On Right Foot; Team Out -Runs Wingham 33-0 Playing on the rain -soaked grid- the ball in mid -field, Ashdown iron of RCAF Station Clinton the CDCX Redmen completely outclas- sed their Wingham opponents 33-0. The well -attended game was play- ed in extremely adverse condi- tions, The turf was completely saturated from the frequent rains and in several place the field was immersed in two to three inches of water. Had conditions been ideal, the Redmen could easily have ad- ded two or three more major scores. They played Tuesday after Bruce Ashdown handled the club' masterfully from his quarterback position, using a savage ground attack. He converted three of the touchdowns and electrified the crowd with an amazing 90 -yard punt return for a touchdown. Wey- mouth scored two touchdowns with Howes, Steepe and Barry Young- blue -accounting for the other Red - men points. Barry Youngblut started the Redmen off, taking the ball on an end run and going over. Ashdown converted. Howes picked up five more points on a reverse play that completely fooled the Wingham defensive wall as he scampered over without being touched. The Redmen theatened again only to be stopped just short of pay -dirt. Wingham took over and after run- ning two plays still .lacked the necessary ten yards for another first down and were forced to kick on third, down from behind their own goal line. The kick was block- ed and Weymouth fell on the ball for five more :points, Waymouth scored another touchdown a -few minutes later on an end reverse. The conversion attempt on both of these touchdowns failed.

Ron, shook off three or four attackers, got into the clear and went all the way. The play covered almost 50 yards. Ashdown added the extra point. The final scoring play of the game was the most exciting. Wing - ham kicked deep into Clinton ter- ritory, where Ashdown gathered the ball in around his own ten -yard line, cut directly'aeross the field in front of a host of tacklers then scooted down the sidelines ' with Wingham making only a half- hearted attempt to stop him. Next game for the Redmen will be with Goderich next Tuesday. Redmen 33-Wingham 0 Scoring Touchdown—Barry Youngblut Convert—Bruce Ashdown Touchdown—Howes.

Two tenders were received, one from, Mathews Con- struction Co., London for $13,904, and the Levis offer of $8,980. Be- sides the saving in the contract price, Levis also have offered to accept payment spread over four years, each payment to be made in January. This will save the town the additional cost of issuing debentures for the storm sewers.

Pryde Tells Kin About Prisons (Continued from Page One) delinquent. Mr. Pryde was high in. his praise of the school at Bow-, manville where the juveniles are housed. He gave a• detailed account of how this school was conducted and pointed out that the problem. that had to be faced there came when they were released. "Where are they going? Will they get back'' to their old gang?" Every effort is being made to establish these younger prisoners in homes where they can be prop- erly guided and thus become good citizens," the speaker said, Adult Delinquency The committee found that in most cases' thelife of crime was the result of a faulty home life, Not enough discipline, excessive drinking,separated parents, were some of ' the chief causes that started the youngster on a life of crime. "We all hear of juvenile delinquency," Mr. Pryde added, "but a better term would be adult delinquency." Remembrance Day Mayor' M. J. Agnew will pro- claim. Thursday, November 11, as a public holiday, and urge all citi- zens to observe it as such. This is in response to the annual re- quest of the Clinton .Branch No. 140, Canadian Legion. Auditors Request Raise Monteith and Monteith, who have done the town audit for the past several eat a sum of $500, plus $50 for the CDCI books, requested an increase to $1,000 in- clusive of the CDCI work. This they requested in accord with the amount they are receiving from Listowel, where they said the work is less than in Clinton. Council passed a by-law rescind- ing part 2 of by-law 5-1954 in which the auditors were arranged for, and some investigation of the matter,will be made.

This is offset somewhat by the work that the inmates perform. They earn approximately three million. "The government is striving to make our reform institutions just what the name implies. A place where the inmates will be reform- ed and re-established into society as an asset and not a detriment," said the speaker. Finally, Mr. Pryde suggested that all citizens should be more observant of the laws and that everyone should observe them to the best of his ability. The speaker was introduced by Kin Harry McEwan and thanked by Kin Don Kay.
