CLINTON NEWS -RECORD,,
Redmen Topple Trojaps dor
First ��otbaU Yictary
In a hard fought game that
'showed what a week of hard con-
ditioning -could do, the Clinton
Rednfen ^(Biernan's Braves) paddl-
ed to a 15 to 5 win over the Gode-
richTrojans, •
With rain falling and mud on
the grass the Braves could not
take to the air the way they
showed inpractise and inthe
first quarter. After adjusting for
the climatic conditions in the'next
quarter the, Redmen struck fast.
First' with a safety then a touch-
down via Ken Porter to Jack Fin-
ley then Jim Howes converted to
put the Redmen eight large points
in front, The game then see-
sawed from the Clinton 32 to the
Goderich 10 with some line charg-
ing by Howie Armstrong (left
half) that has not been, seen
around these parts ever .. and
not to rob any , of the laurels
from Armstrong, Denny Wey-
mouth and Jim Howes did a big
job at their positions.
The last half got away .with
Clinton kicking with the wind. A
fumble' by Goderich wasgrabbed
by, Bert -Clifford, on the Goderich
45. Two plays later saw the Red -
men on the Goderich 10 -yard line
for a first down. Porter, on a
quarterback sneak cracked the
Goderich line for the touchdown.
Howes converted to put the Red -
men ahead 14-0.
In the last quarter Goderich
scored on a long pass for their
only 'ID. Clinton cracked their
line and blocked their convert.
From the kick-off Clinton ran the
hall back to their own 43. Led by
linebackers Ron Hugill, Hugh Col-
quhoun, Doug Batkin, Wayne Wil-
son, Bob Reid ; and' Carl Falconer
the Redinen were soon knocking
on the door once more, Onthe
third down the Redmen kicked
and picked up a single point. Final
score: Clinton 15, Goderich 5.
Between the uprights ... Clin-
ton lost the grand sum of 60
yards in penalties, 30 for not giv-
ing enough yards and 30 for off-
side . keep your eye on this
young lad Hugill, he is learning
this game in fast time ... Porter
and his get one get two talk from
the huddle sure puts the team in
second gear when they are mov-
ing ... Didn't find out the name
of the Redman that got a boot in
the face'in the dying minutes but
all were . in _ good Spirits after the
game so I guess he had all his
teeth . . And a" big thanks to
Goderich - from the team for the
oranges at half time.

Boylan's New Car'
Damaged In
Runaway Smash.
$500 damage to hisnewly won
bingo car last Wednesday night -
showed a recurrence -of the bad
luck whichhas been with Don
Boylan for some time now. ^ Ap-
parently Mr, Boylan had parked
his new car outside the hospital,
while he and two companions vis-
ited with 'a' fellow worker who
was confined there.
Somehow, though Boylan' re-
ported that to the best of „ his
knowledge he had set the hand-
brake, the car moved from its
parked position, found its way
cautiously through between • cars
parked on both sides of the street;
and finally 'a block away, veered
from the straight and narrow and
plunged across a lawn into a tree.
One bit of good luck, however,
stood the unfortunate man in
;good stead. Kin president, K. W.
Colquhoun had persuaded him to
put insurance on his car the day
he picked up the keys for it just
five days before. the accident
Two years ago a hotel which
Boylan owned in Stoney Creek
was destroyed by fire, and he was
left without anything ..but what
he and his ,family wore. Since
then he has been out of work un-
til gaining employment with. Stir-
ling Construction Company, on
Highway 4 from Seaforth to Clin-
ton.
An invitation to Blyth and Exe-
ter auxiliaries was accepted. A
patient in Byron 'sanitarium will
receive a monthly remembrance
The Legion will receive $100 from
the ladies to further the work of
equipping the hall. "
The president urged the mem-
bers to attend Armistice Day
service in St. Andrew's Presby-
terian church on November 6.
Members were named to look af-
ter the poppy sale at RCAF Sta-
tion Clinton and in town. The
draw for a gentleman's suit will
take place at the first Legion
bingo. "
The election of officers will
take place at the next meeting at
which a . good attendance is re-
quested. Mrs. Jean Zelinuik's
groupserved dainty refreshments.

"Mr. Horticulturel, himself" and
he gave a delightful address.
"Horticultural Societies are
leaving an indelible mark on the
towns of Ontario. We should
garden for the love of it and, not
for profit. Public plaiming for
beautifying is very important for
each society.
"There is something of the Gar-
den of Eden still in the heart of
man Therefore we are still
gardeners by instinct. God smiled
and there were flowers. We
broaden that divine smile when
we beautify our back yards. What
is more unselfish than a beauti-
ful garden enjoyed by many pass-
ers by. .
"Let the Texan br'ag of his state,'
Ontario has infinitely more of
everything. It is More richly
endowed with minerals than King
Solomon's mines, the cattle. on a
thousand hills : and our golden
grain make us a bread basket of
the world. We have beauty, fer-
tility and vastness in our province
of Ontario."
Our Horticultural S 00 i e t i es
play a vital role in Ontario _nl
safeguarding the loneliness of the
province and in improving it for
the next generation, all blots and
blemishes are 'hand -made. These
societies help to correct these ills,"
In conclusion Mr. -Clark urged all
present to even finer efforts.
