took evidence at Exeter on Tuesday
relative to the death id Josef Sce-,
vik, Czechoslovacian, who was struck
and killed on the evening of October
8th by a car driven by John Mutch
of Detroit, who was en his way to
Clinton. Evidence was given by
Mr. Mutch and by Henry Zilka, a
fellow countryman of the deceased,
who was with him at the time the
fatality took place on No. 4 highway
a few miles south of Exeter. The
evidence of Gilbert J, Dow, of Exe-
ter, who had passed the scene
shortly before the accident took
place, was to the effect that Mr.
Dow had narrowly missed striking
one of the two men himself- The
jury, of which W Frayne, of Exe-
ter, is foreman, adjourned until the
afternoon of Tuesday, October 24.
PAPER COLLECTIONS

are grateful to householders who
supplied the papers.,
The Club intends making another
collection in the spring and would
like householders to save all they
can for them as this, and the annual
concert, are the only methods em-
ployed for making money, Mr. G.
T. Jenkins has kindly offered to al-
low storing room in his shop, King
street, for any papers which cannot
be kept in the homes and will take
them in at any time.
DEATH OF W. H. RUMBALL

Mrs. W'. Pickard, Miss Georgina
Rumball and Mrs. A. Sinclair of
Clinton, the latter of whom was in
Toronto at the time of his death
and remains for the funeral.
Mr. Rumball, who had been a resi-
dent of Toronto for a great many
years, had been in poor health for
some time but had been going about
all day the day of his passing and
his death came as rather a shock.
Heart trouble was the cause of
death. The funeral takes place at
two -thirty this afternoon, Thursday,
from his late residence, 39 Langford
Avenue, Toronto, interment to be in
Mount Hope cemetery.
Mr. Rumball is survived ley his
wife, two daughters and one son, all

RUGBY INTRODUCED
On 'Saturday last a large crowd
of Clinton sport fans had an oppor-
tunity of seeing a game of rugby
when the local team trimmed the
Goderich Sailors 12-6. Although the
game enjoys great popularity all
over Canada and the States, this is
probably the first game' played in
this community, and an effort is
being made to establish the sport
here. Next year 'it is hoped to have
a team in the Intermediate Rugby
Union. The game opened with little
tie choose between the teams, but
soon the locals' superior weight be-
gan to tell. The heavy Clinton Iine.
finding the rough going to their
liking, cut down the Goderich men
before they got started. The Sailors
finding the line too tough a propo•
sition took to passing and running
the ball around the end without
much more success. Just before the
quarter ended, Combe went over for
a touchdown. In the second quarter
Goderich obtained the ball on Ciin,
ton's three yard line blut three
plunges were necessary before Stod-•
dart dived over to even the count.
. The ghme was enlivened in the
third quarter by the inevitable God-
erich••Clinton scrap but the trouble
was soon ironed out without any
serious' damage. Clinton advanced
the ball to the .Sailor's ten yard line
by a series of onside kicks, from
where Ross went around the end far'
the final .score. Ross did good work
in the backfield and the tackling of
the Clinton line was of the highest
calibre. The game was handled suc-
cessfully by Cecil Holmes.
. The following played for. Clinton:
IS. Cook, E. Hovey, F, Moynes, ]3r,
McIntyre, T.. Morgan, W. Fulford,
ii. Lavin, 0. Combe, C. McGoun, T,
Ross, Roy Fitesimmens, C. Wilson,

ling Match will be conducted inthe

The afternoon's programme should
prove very interesting and all are
ccrdially invited to attend.
H. AND S. CLUB MEETS
The Collegiate auditorium was the
scene of the October meeting of the
Home and School Club. It was in
charge of the president, Mrs. George
Jenkins, and opened by singing "The
Maple Leaf."
Reports were given by the secre-
tary and treasurer. The resignation
of Mrs. F. Venner as secretary was
accepted with regret and Mrs. H. A.
McIntyre was appointed to the va,
canes: The musical part of the
program, prepared by Mrs. Paterson
and Mrs. R. E. Manning, consisted
of a solo by Mrs, (Dr.) Hearn, ac-
companied bay Mrs. Agnew, and ar
instrumental by Kathleen Cosens.
The amain topic of the evening was
an address by Dr. Oakes, who gave
a very interesting as well as in-
structive talk on "Connmunicable
Diseases."
A hearty vote of thanks was ten-
dered Dr. Oakes at the conclusion of
his address.
The meeting was closed with the
National Anthem.
FLOWERS STILL IN BLOOM
Mr Inkley's glad, garden is gone,
but he has some very fine dahlias,
at least they look pretty good to or-
dinary folk who wax proud over the
cultivation of nasturtiums and magi,
golds, but he says they are not at all
as good as they ought to be and are,
moreover, very late.
But Mr. Inkley cut a bouquet on
Tuesday, from which he left The
News -Record three blooms of ex-
quisite shade and measuring seven
or eight inches across, also one
dainty white one of the dwarf spec-
ies. If the frost keeps off for an-
other few weeks there are hundreds
of buds which would come out. But,
alas, one night's frost will probably
nip thein.
Many of the garden flowers took
a new lease of life after the recent
rains and are blooming better than
they did all summer. It is a pity they
should not have an extra week or so,
but we have had no blighting frost
as yet.

W. Dewitt Cosens being chosen pre-
sident and Rev, G. W. Sherman, sec.
rotary -treasurer. The office of pre-
sident had not been filled since the
removal of Rev, D. E. Foster, and
Rev. Mr. Farrill wished to retire
from the office of sec. -treasurer af-
ter a three-year term.
,Several items of business were
discussed, such as the arrangement
for the anneal week of prayer,
which will be held the first week in
January, monthly programs, etc. No
plans were made for Renmenrbarnce
Day, as last year this was taken in
hand by the veterans, and it was
supposed they would again do so.
The programs to be followed for thr
autumn and winter months were
arranged.
WINS FIRST SOCCER GAME
The first of the scheduled inter-
collegiate soccer games was played
at the local collegiate stadium on
Tuesday afternoon, when Seaforth
High School and C. 0. I. met in a
very closely contested tilt, in which
only one goal was scored, and that
by the home team.
Snyder had the honor of register,
ing the lone tally early in the first
half, and from then until the final
whistle it was a gruelling test oil
speed and strength. The visitors
had two very close breaks, the.
sphere in one instance striking the
goal post and by a lucky break far
the homesters turning out instead of
inward. The remark was made tha'1
if the post had been a round one in-
stead of square it would have turn,
ed the ball the opposite way. An-
other.near score for the visitors was
when the ball passed over the bar
by a hair instead of under.
Clinton line-up: Goal, McInnes;
backs, Weston, Murdoch; halfbacks,
Rutherford, McColl, Elliot; forwards,
Campb'eli, Snyder'. Ross, Holmes,
McKinnon; subs, Murphy, Garrett.
LET US PRIZE THE TREES
Mr. P. T. Dowling, special writer
in The Toronto Globe, had something
special to say about Clinton and its
trees in a recent issue of that jour-
nal, which we reproduce on another
page of this issue.
The gentleman, whom we do not
know, seemed to have taken quite a
walk ablout town and he had a keen
eye for beauty, especially the beauty
of trees, which had then just begun
to turn. He noted, too, the strange
angles upon which some of our
streets run and that it is easy to lose
the sense of direction and practically
"get lost," an ,experience felt by ev-
ery newcomer to Clinton.
The trees on our streets and pri-
vate property are a distinct asset to
Clinton and we have been amazed at
times to see with what abandon some
private property owners will cut
down a tree which they either wish
to use for wood or which they feel
shades their property too mueh.W The
cutting of a tree, on public or pri-
vate property, should be the subject
of serious consideration, It takes
years to grow a tree, it can be,des-
troyed in as many minutes. Let':
prize our trees,
NEW PASTEURIZATION PLANT
Mr. Chas. E. Elliott, Fairholme•
Dairy Farm, has put in a new pas-
teurization plant and is now supply,
ing his customers with milk
pasteur-
ized in glass. This is an enterpris-
ing
expenditure on the part of Mr.
Elliott andhe says some of his cus-,
tomers were quite surprised to find
that the milk had been pasteurized,
as they detected no difference in it_
EXPRESS RATES REDUCED
Very substantial reductions have,
been made in express rates in Can
ada. It is now possible to send a.
parcel up to one pound to any ex-
press point in the nine provinces of
Canada for the sum of fifteen cents,
with gradual advances for larger
amounts. These charges are slightly,
higher than postal rates, but they
include delivery, within cartage Hill --
its, and insurance up to $60.
IN GODER7CH THIS A.M.
This is Goderich's big day, where
the town entertains Their Excellen-
cies, The Earl and Countess of
Bessborough, the former in his offi-
cial capacity as Governor-General of
Canada, representative of His Ma-
jesty, King George V.
A full program has been arranged
for the brief ninety minutes of the
vice-aegal party's stay, which will in
elude the inspection ef the 33rd Hu-
-on Regiment. C. Company, Clinton,
has gone up full strength. A guard
of honor picked from the regiment
will act as guard during the visit of
the Governor-General.
