HURON JUNIORS FINISH WELL' IN KING'S GUINEAS Huron County's nt 's two entries Yin the King's Guineas baby beef class at Royal Winter Fair, To- ronto, Monday, made' a very.fav- orable showing. They were among 100 ell told, Jim Snell, R.R. 1, Clinton, was e 13th in the Shorthorn class total- lingis , 58.' Sidney Thompson, R.R. 1, Wing-. g ham, was eighth in the Hereford e group of 24 anhnais. Wins Guineas Kenneth McKinnon, 19 -year- old beef -steer breeder from Hills- ° burgh, Wellington County, took e his second successive win in the King's Guineas competition again e with an Aberdeen -Angus steer. Later in the evening an auction e sale, held in the crowded arena, added $2,760 to his King's Guin- t eas when Danny Boy sold for $3 a pound. It was considerably less than the $10,030 which he took home Iast year from the showing and sale of another prize Angus, Torchy. Three generations of MeKin none have been raising Angus cattle on their Sunny Slope Farm in Wellington County. Ken ex- pects to remain on the 250 -acre farm, "farming end feeding cattle." Origin of the Guineas Nearly a century ago the late King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, created, a fund for devel- opment of agriculture in Ont- ario and placed it 'in trust with the Agricultural and Arts So- ciety of Ontario. Later when the society ceased to functionthe fund was turned over to the On- tario Department of Agriculutre to be held in trust and proceeds used at the discretion of the Minister. Two years ago, the King's Guineas eompetition,was launch- ed by Hon. T. L. Kennedy. The winner last year was Kenneth MacKinnon, 18 -year-old farmer from • Hlllsburg, Wellington County, The black Angus steer which won him the award was later sold for the record price of $10,000. Exhibitors in the event must all be qualified members of the 1948 Boys' and Girls' Clubs of Ontario. Exhibits in this section were not eligible for any other classes of the 1948 fair and all exhibits must be sold by Public auction. It is required that all exhibits must be sired by a pure bred bull and out of a cow of beef breeding. Cross breeds shall be considered the same breeding as the sire. Calves for the event must be born between May 1, 1947 and February 1, 1948. Live weight of 650 pounds or better is also required. Exhibitors must have fed, cared for and fitted the calves during the club sea- son and they must have been ex- hibited at the local Achieve- ment Day. As the. weather grows colder, we are confined to indoor sports which takes its form in basket- ball. Although everyone cannot win, we have high hopes of ap- pearing on the top of the list next spring. On Tuesday and Friday at noon may be seen a group of romping girls in the gym, taking .their place on the floorand aim- ing for the basket. They are clad in their usual blue romp- ers, white running shoes and white socks, A similar scene is witnessed on Monday and 'Thurs- day from 3.35 to 4.10 p.m., with the exception of a few different faces. Also Miss Reynolds, P.T. instructor, is there with a whistle in her hand and watching the ball as it travels from one pair of hands to another. We have to watch ourselves lest the whistle blows and some sort of penalty be given. We feel that our lead- er is capable of teaching us the game and making a team for which it is worth working, --JEAN MCKINLEY BOYS' SPORTS CCI Defeats Seaforth A very soccer match was playedonthe Collegiate campus on Wednesday, Novem- ber I7. The participants were Seaforth and the boys from CCL These teams were very evenly be- ingmatc1hed0 iwith the nfavourof Clinton. Our lone goal was scored by centre Mike Cousineau.

Duch - acme, J. Wilson, K. Whitfield, and G. Clare. Boys' Basketball The main topic of interest in the sports world at the Colleg- iate at the present time in basket- ball. Our boys, both seniors and juniors, have been practising every Wednesday and Friday in the gymnasium. The seniors are out to defend the group title which they have won for the past two years, while the juniors will be in there fighting every inch of the way, trying to earn their first title. The schedule does not commence until after the Christ- mas holidays, . but in the mean- time, lvlr. Kinach, the coach, will be trying to arrange some ex- hibition games. As many of you probably noticed, the goal post at the northern end .f the football field was broken as the result of some foolish Hallowe'en prank, there- by putting a crimp on any games of soccer. However the boys got together and mended the goal. e --CAMERON MALTBY TOYS TOY TRUCKS, all metal $1.00 DUMP TRUCKS 1.25 1.49 MINITOY DUMP TRUCKS, sturdy metal with rubber wheels 4.75 STRUCTO DUMP TRUCK, large and well built 5.25 CRANE and SHOVEL, will turn, lift and shovel 3.79 BUILDO SHOVEL and CRANE, comes broken down to: -build yourself 3.79 MINITOY WRECKER 3.98 RIDING,'CANADIAN FLYER, strong and sturdy 5,50 MOTO.TRIX MECHANICAL SET—has 347 parts including Trix Electric Motor and complete engineering manual 7.95 WIND UP TRAINS 1.95, 4.85, 6.50 WALKI'E TALKIE SET—can be used from one room to another 5.45 DOLL CARRIAGES in all metal construction 4.50 and 5.95 McEwan's Phone 84 Clinton 1 • Chamber of Commerce Banquet is Planned Clinton Chamber of Commerce ill hold its annual banquet in Hotel Clinton on Thursday even- ing, December 9, at seven o'clock, it was decided et the Novenxbee y er in the X Town meeting hCouncil Chamof the ber Thursday .S evening last.
