Six -Man, Rugby Here
Among Collegiates
($y Alex Wilson)
CDCI six -man rugby team,
'decked in newly -purchased uni-
forms, journeyed to Goderich on
Wednesday, October 26, for the
first school rugby game of the
season. Although the game end-
ed in a rather lop -sided score
for Goderich, the play was not
as bad as it appeared.
Arkell was a standout for
Clinton, end his team-mates gave
him good support. It would be
-hard to choose the best ,Goderich
player since they were evenly
matched.
Goderich 23 -Clinton 10
The return game was played
in Clinton on Friday, October
28. Goderich won again but by
a smaller margin. This game was
fairly chose; at half time the
score was. 1-0 for Goderich. Early
in the second half "Big" John
Wilson took a pass from Arkell
and romped for a touch -down.
Convert failed. A little later
"Little" John Wilson performed
the same feat, taking another
pass from Arkelh His convert
also failed. This gave Clinton
ten paints.
Meanwhile Goderich was on
the move to score 22 more points,
making final score read Goderich
23, Clinton 10. Arkell played
his usually good game, with the
two Wilsons giving good backing.
Clinton 38-Wingham 0
Clinton rugby team journeyed
to Wingham on Tuesday, Novem-
ber 1, for a go with the Wingham
High School rugby team. Clin-
ton came cut' on top of a 38-0
score, having scored majors in
every quarter. Compensation for
Wingham may be found in the
fact that they are a young team
but in a year or two - watch
out! Scorers for Clinton were:
Jack Wilson, 3; Cern Maltby, 13;
Barry Pinch, 12; Bill Ross, 5: Ken
Arkell, 5.
The return game will be play-
ed on the CDCI campus on Fri-
day afternoon, at three o'clock.

the number on the regular rugby
football team.

YOUR PATRONAGE IS SOLICITED
George H. Jefferson
Heads Men Teachers
District 15A of the O.P.S,M,T.F.
held its annual meeting in Hotel
Clinton on Friday, October 21,
at 6.30 p.m. A delicious steak
dinner was thoroughly enjoyed.
During the meeting, the report
of the Provincial Assembly of
O.P.S.M.T.F. was discussed, along
with a provincial salary schedule,
After this, the election of of-
ficers for the incoming year was
held. G. 'H, Jefferson, Clinton,
was elected president.
A film entitled, ',Who will
teach our children," produced in
Ottawa, was previewed by the
members of District 15A.

mitted during an extensive drink-
ing bout which had lasted from
the Saturday before the burglar-
ies, until the Tuesday afterward.
The pair had been introduced to
each other by a mutual friend,
he said. Both places of business,
had been entered by identical
means -that of throwing a stone
through the window to open the
front door.
Hearn had thrown the stone
through the jewellery store door
while Hams •kept a lookout.
Frightened by the police, they
had fled through the back door
to the alley, meanwhile scooping
up all the watches and rings in
the south show window.
Fine Police Work
The Crown Attorney highly
commended "the remarkably
good work done by Chief Con-
stable James A. Thompson, Clin-
ton, and Provincial Constable
Helmer Snell, Seaforth."
In a room at Clinton Grill,
which they had rented, the two
had removed the tags from the
jewellery. This was the informat-
ion which gave the police their
clue as to the identity of the per-
petrators of the robbery.
Character Evidence
G. Thomason, Clinton, foreman
of the Hydro tree -trimming gang
by which Rains was employed,
gave character evidence for
Heins, stating his record was the
highest and that he had served
two years in Germany, Holland
and the Low Countries and was
due for promotion. He said they
had drunk three quarts of liquor
in three days, and thought the
booze was to blame.
For Hearn, character evidence
was given by N. Heard, Stratford;
and by his father; and also by H.
L. Schreiber, Hamilton, his lawy-
er, who said he had known Hearn
all his life and would make re-
stitution for him.
Frank Donnelly, K.C., God-
erich, stressed that Heins was
in line for promotion and had
never been in trouble before.
Excessive drinking had been
his downfall and he was quite
prepared to make restitution.
No Suspended Sentence
Crown Attorney Hays said
this was not a case for suspended
sentence. There certainly had
been sufficient time for them to
sober up between the two break-
ins and they had not come to the
authorities with their confessions.
The case would not have been
solved except for police action.
He did not think a long term was
necessary, however.
Decision will be made by
Magistrate Holmes in court at
Goderich Tuesday next,

north as Teeswater and as far
south as Kirktoe and Exeter, and
were very faithful. He had con-
tacted almost 200 Dutch families
and had found only five or six
unchurched.
"By and large, I would say
that these Dutch immigrants ap-
preciate the reception they have
received from t h e Canadian
people, with a few exceptions,"
he declared. "Mey I recommend
them to you. They are strang-
ers in a strange land; it may take
a long time for some of them
to learn Canadian customs,"
At the morning service, Rev.
Mr, Bos took as his subject, "The
Church of the Living God," and
his text from I Timothy 3:15:
"But if I tarry long, that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest
to I5 have thyself in the House
of God, which is the Church of
the Living God, the pillar and
ground of the truth."
At the evening service, the
preacher's text was from Romans
11 :36: "For of him and through
him and to him are all things:
to whom be glory forever, Amen."
He declared that we are as far
away from international peace as
we were in 1914; we have retro-
gressed. The trouble briefly and
very plainly is this -we have put
the cart before the horse, Our
religion has been man -sent, not
God -sent. We have forgotten
God; we must find him again."
