The News-Reeord story is 'finish- ed with this issue and our readers will agree that it was a good one; that it :kept the interest right to the end and that, even we bope the true lovers will "live happy evert af- ter," it did not end in the regula- tion way. It was decidedly differ- ent. Our new story _ starts next week and it promises to be an • inter. est -gripper, even though it is again different from the last. The title is "The Aztec Mystery." It is a story of old western days and is interest- ing from the first paragraph. Do not miss the first instalment. TRYING NEW STUNT Chief Stong hes been trying a new plan with transients who have been corning through town recently. He has been procuring bread and cooked meat and making tea au his office `stove and giving thein all they want to eat and drink. This is instead of sending them to a restaurant for a full meal, and was tried because they seemed to be coming along . in bunches. Some do not seem to relish the,fare, which the chief says is good stuff. There h ie may be some of those in town who are helping to pay for these meals who often have no bet- ter fare in their own homes. No one need be hungry with an abundance of bread and meat, although variety is the spice of life, and it is hoped times will soon improve to such an extent that such 'provision will be unnec- essary. A' GOLDEN WEDDING Fifty years ago yesterday, March 23rd, 1882, Ruth, daughter of Rev. William and Mrs. Wade, was united in marriage to Mr. John H. Tiplady, so that yesterday was the Golden Wedding anniversary of that event. The marriage ceremony fifty years ago took place at the home of the bride's parents, the Base line, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Richard Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Tiplady started their married life on a farms on the Base line and there they continued to reside until they retired from the farm and came to Clinton a couple of years or so ago. They have one daughter, Mrs. Clif- ford Keyes of Stanley township. The anniversary was narked by a family gathering at the home of Mr,' and Mrs, Wo,. Tiplady yesterday. Der. and Mrs. Tiplady have been quiet, unassuming people, good neighbors and good citizens. They are faithful members of Ontario street United church and have a host of friends who on this happy occas- ion extend to them their heat'ty con, gratulations and good wishes for continuance of good health that they may enjoy many inose years togeth- er. HOME FROM CAMP Most of the boys who went north two and a half months ago to work on the Northern Develapentent scheme, have returned. W. Inkley is the only one we have so far seen and he looks as if he had enjoyed his winter and says that he did. The work was not too hard, you needed to work to keep up cireulae tion, the feed was good, although not lust as good as "home cooking," and the conditions under which they liv- ed were almost all that could be ex, petted iii such an out -of -the -way - place. They ate in one big dining room but had separate sleeping quarters, little groups of huts, and they managed to make their own amusement as they lead no radio, plc- tune show or anything of that sort. They cleared a rink on the Iake but few had skates and anyway, after the long day in the Open air. they did not seem to want to skate in the evenings, A young theological student trav- elled from camp to camp and when- ever lie happened along they had a service, whether it happened to be Sunday .ter the. middle of the week. Their working days were cut to six hours some little time ago, and of course, their pay • and this they did not relish very much. The camp had excellent health during the win- ter,' except for slight colds and a few minor accidents, Bert Glitldon's accident having been the most ser- ious one. Ile was taken out to a hos- pital but for the minor accidents Stewart McBrien's "first aid" know- ledge came in very useful and he was called .to practise it on more than one occasion. The boys seemed to be :disappoint- ed that their railwa fares were y not paid :home. They seemed to have understood that they would be if they' stayed the full time. But they aid their n p ow fares hatne,':although they were somewhat reduced. , But if everyone came home looking as healthy and fit as Will Inkley the winter in , camp,, • certainly agreed with then. c CHAUTAUQUA. ON Chautauqua is on in Clinton this week, A play was put on the open- ing night, "Bought and Paid For," which was enjoyed by a fairly Iarge audience. . The cast wits a good one and the play Well -presented. S.'esterday afternoon Mrs. Albert Vierra gave a very interesting trav- elogue on "Hawaii," and in the even-, ing her husband, with his band of entertainers, gave an "Evening in Hawaii," when its weird, haunting music delighted the audience. Tonight Hugo Brant, Polish com- poser and pianist, will give his pro- gram and Mr. Elwood T. Bailey will deliver a lecture. On Monday, the closing evening, anothee play, "Old Crusty Takes the Air," will be given, HOCKEY GAME FRIDAY The exhibition hockey fixture in the local arena on Friday evening,. when the Hensall squad came over to try conclusions with the local inter- mediates, resulted in a shut -oat bee ing handed the visitors, the score being 2 to 0. The game was fast throughout, and although the Hen- saIlites failed to find their way to the net, they put up a snappy game. Welsh on right wing was their strong man, while Livermore in goal, Rath, Elliott and McEwen were sen- sational for the bomesters. In the first period Campbell was responsible for the first counter on a solo effort.' This was the only feat- ure of the period. The second per- iod, though barren of goals, was mare productive of penalties, Foster and Welsh of the visiting squad and Holmes of the locals taking the bench for minor infractions. In tiro third period McEwen scored on a pass from Campbell, which Ford failed to block. In this period Fos- ter and Passmore each drew a pen- alty. The timekeepers bell amnoune- ed time up with no further scoring. The line-ups were: Hensel' -- Ford, goal; Passmore and Farquar, defence; Cantelon and Hoggarth, centre; Foster and 'Boyle, left wing; Welsh and Blowes, right wing. Clinton—N. Livermore, proal; J. Elliott and E. Fulford, defence; F. McEwan, left wing; G. Rath, centre; Campbell, right wing; subs, S. Cook, O. Holmes.
