Bolstered by eight Stratford players, Seaforth proved much too good for the Goderich combination of airmen and civilians. Many athletes well-known to dist- rict fang appeared on the opposing clubs, including Ralph "Farmer" MoFaddin, the Seaforth veteran, "Buzz" Given, former Stratford Nationals pitcher, and "Smokey" Harris, former Tavistock and Sea - forth player. Seaforth scored three goals in the first period, increased their lead with five in the middle .canto and wound up with. seven more in the last frame. The next two games in the group will be played on 'Tuesday night of next week, 'when Clinton Colts visit Seaforth, and Goderich goes to Exeter. Seaforth — Goal, Doherty; de- fence, Hildebrand, Nicholson; centre Harris; wings, Eady and Writt; alter- nates, Betts, Vogt, McFaddin, Flan- agan, Carnegie. Goderich—Goal, O'Brien; defence, Murphy, Holmes; centre, Given; wings, Murray, Westbrooke; alter- nates, McDonaId, Ferguson, John- ston, Reeves, Serimg.eour, Gordon. In the opening game of Intermed- iate 0.H.A. group 12, playedhere last Thursday night, Exeter defeated Clin- ton by a score of 11 to 3. A large crowd witnessed the game which was played on good ice, but the calibre of hockey was only fair, due,no doubt, to previous lack of practice, It is anticipated that before the' season is far advanceda much better brand of hockey will 'be displayed. The visitors scored once in the first period, the honor going to Hawke; added 'four more in the sec-, and and another six in the final. canto. All three Clinton goals came in the last period. Scoring honors for Exeter went to: Hawke, 3, Wright, 2; . Macey, 3•; Forsythe, Elwin and Bradley, one each. For Clinton: Mogklin, Car- ter, Fisher.

Padres Preach in St. Paul's Church News was rece]ved,ia the comm-nn- ity, last week of the transfer of F/L the Rev. T. H. Floyd, Padre of the local R. C. A. 19. station to an R. C. A, F. Flying School. Although here just nine months he has won the cons fidence and friendship, of many. His Christmas -address to the Women's Institute is treasured by its members as the best ever given to them. Last Friday evening he concluded the World Week of Prayer service by his sermon at Wesley -Willis United Church. His words were a New Year message around the theme, "Whither goest Thou?" Last Sunday morning he delivered +' the sermon in St. Paul's Church. From the story of Jacob's vision of a ladder from heaven to earth (Genesis xxviii) F/L Floyd developed the thought of the Worship of. God. He showed it was. God's will that worship should' be from a set place built by ruse for that purpose andea1 called Church". He interwove the need in our life of the right use of 'God's Board' (the Holy Communion service) God's day and God's Book. The lesson was read by F/L Albert French who succeeds as Padre at the local station. Before enlistment F/L A. French was rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in St. Cather- ines, Ontario. F/L A. French delivered the ser- mon erneon at the Evening service in St. Paul's Church from the text, "As thy day so shall thy strength be." He showed the need of daily dependence on God for strength and Guidance and the folly and sin of worry. He quoted Bishop Philip. Brooke's famous saying "We should not Pray 'Lord, give me strength for my tasks' but 'Lord, give me t asks for my strength'." He illustrated the folly of need- less worry from the foible of the fa- mous Carlyle wise claimed he was kept awake by the crowing of a roos- ter during the night. To the protests of its owner that the rooster crowed only twice in the night, Carlyle re- plied, "But is is nerve-racking wait -t ing for it to crow." v�- MILITARY NEWS Pte.

After church' we all lay down waiting for dinner which was at one, and a very lovely dinner, turkey with all the trimmings, it was really good, but I wished it had been your turkey I was eating Mother. After a urge meal we came 'back- to the barracks and slept for the afternoon. After a cold supper we had another concert which ended around • 10.30 and then off' to bed and the ,'end of another Christmas. Wondering where •you will be spending your next out.,
