IOOF Notes A small group of members of Clinton Lodge IOOF No. 83, head- ed by Noble Grand George Fal- coner, called at the home of C. O. Martin on Monday night, to hon- our him with the presentation'of a' Veteran's Jewel, showing more than 25 years membership in the Order. Bro. Martin joined , the fraternity in Englehart and gave very valuable service to it while he resided in the north country. After •coming to Clinton a few years ago he transferred his mem- bership here, and it has been keenly regretted by the members that illness has made impossible for the present, his active partici- pation in the ;work here. During the course of the even- ing, Benson Sutter, recording sec- retary, read an appropriate ad- dress, pointing out to Bro, Martin that this jewel' was presented to him on behalf of both Engelhart and Clinton lodges, and came with the good wishes of both lodges. Norman Counter, financial secre- tary, made the presentation to Bro. Martin. Hope wasexpressed that Mr, ' Martin soon would be able to be taking his wonted place in the word of the order in this community. 3 HockeyGames. linton Hockey IN ,CLINTON LIONS ARENA Night SATURDAY NIGHT, MARCH 26- 8 O'CLOCK 2 PEEWEE TEAMS from KINSMEN LEAGUE .
