Field Day on Friday, Sept. 26th..

A very pleasant dance was held in
the Collegiate auditorium on Friday
evening, following the annual sports.
The auditorium was very handsomely
decorated and looked very festive
and bright
and the young folk seem-
ed ho enjoy themselves very much.
The stage was especially handsome,

son by defeating the fast Part Hu-
ron team 7 to 5 at Bayfield on Sept.

good crowd was on hand to see the
game, which was very fast, the boys
playing their best ball. Kelso Streets
made Clinton's first ,run on a nice a-
base hit. Bill Glew got a real house
run, with one on base, and N. Liver-
more was right there with his timely
hitting ait through the' game. L,
Pearson had the hottest drive of the
game to handle and he sure made a
fast play on it, Clinton had an up
hill battle till the 7th innings, when
they got 4 runs putting thein one
run up on Port Huron, and once a-
head the Clinton battery made the
game sure with a wonderful exhibi-
tion of ball. Clinton softball team -
has had a real good summer, not
losing a game all season. This is a
record for the larger places to look
over. This was the second win from this
particular Port Huron team. on the
same ground, having won a silver CUP
in n game taking place in Bayfield
on July 12th, Those chaps across the
border will begin to realize that
Clinton boys can play ball.

ing one, Mr. A. J. Blemish, of

recipients of the twenty-five year

so of the Grand Lodge, ad-
dressed those receiving the 50 -year

J. W: Moore gave a little history
of the lodge sitrce its organization in

of course, and making it most in-
teresting.
11. W. Gould, local secretary, read
letters from several non-residents
who found it impossible 'to attend.
Mr. Win, Taylor of Chicago, one of
the half -century Hien, received a wire

interesting occasion.

cial committee, or Mrs. P. 0. Ford,
convenor, of the games committee.
STREET PARKING
The street. in the middle of the
town has been married off for car
spading and . Chief Stong and the -
street committee would like drivers
to run their left wheel on the white
mark. This will leave eighteen inch-
eset plenty ween cars, p enty of room for
handling. The Chief would like to
see all the street so marked, as it
f cilitates ec on'
al on ny in 'space, and
parking spaceon the front street is
often at a premium,
SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT
George E. Swarts of Goderich was
accidently drowned in "Goderich har-
bor on Friday night. IIis body was
recovered Sunday afternoon. He had
driven a party down to the harbor
where their boat was tied up and as
it was very dark and stormy it is
supposed he either walked off the
side of the wharf or was blown off.
He was unmarried and is survived by
his parents and one brother. He was
a nephew of Mirs. Clara Ruinball of
Clinton.

ior tennis will be organized. The
appointing of managers was left in
the hands of a committee.
A meeting will be held next Tues-
day evening at 8.30 in the rouncil
chamber. This meeting is called to
complete the organization of the
hockey cluband to discuss the advis-
n.bility of a central committee to

satisfactory. All interested are in-
vited.
YOU CAN HELP THE EDITOR
One of the most difficult tasks in
the conduct of a newspaper is in
getting the facts relative to births,
marriages and deaths in the commun-
ity. Many people take it for granted
that when a person dies the editor
is familiar with every detail of the
life of the deceased and his activities,
when as a fact the editor sometimes
knows absolutely nothing and has to
get information from other sources
same as other persons would have to
do.
It is the same with marriages or
other stere or less important happen-
ings in the community.,The editor
has to hunt up the factsand often
finds it impossible to take time to go
into every event as carefully as could
he desired.
The average editor of a country
paper 'has something like a million
and a half of things two do and to
think about in a week, and patrons
can hardly overestimate how much
appreciated are efforts they make in
furnishing the facts for news
items.
Send your items of news to The
News -Record and send thein in early
in the. week.

LITTLE LOCALS
The. interior of the Agricultural'
Representative's office has been nic-
ely decorated.
The Clinton lospit1 ' Board will
1
meet in the board room of the town
hall en Tuesday evening, October
7th, at seven -thirty.
Drs. J. W. Shaw, J. C. Gandier and
P. Iiearn attended the meeting of the.
Provincial M'edical Association in
Guelph yesterday afternoon
A new C.N.R. timetable went into.
effect on Sunday last, Sept,28th, AlI•
changes effecting Clinton are inclnd
ed. in the timetable published on page
two of this issue.
The ehoir of Wesley -Willis United
'church had a get-together meeting
and banquet in the church hall on
Wednesday evening of last week,
when a very pleasant time was•
spent.
,A very jolly time was spent at a
shower given in honour of Miss'Al-
meda Crittenden, who was married
on Saturday, at the home of Mrs. W.
Fulford, Victoria street, on Thurs-
day evening last.
Mr. A. W. Anderton's name was
mentioned as a judge of the singing
at the Clinton School Fair last week.
This was an error, Mr. Crawford and
Misses Thompson and Turnbull Sea -
forth Public school staff, were the
judges.
The School Fairs are ever for an-
other year and we do not doubt that
Representative McLeod and his assis-
tants feel like congratulating them-
selves that it is so. The fairs this
year were very successful acid weath-
er conditions were fine.
Major Fotheringhant said in his
address on Sunday afternoon that he
itad only just missed being born in
Huron County. His parents'happcn
ed to live in Blanchard township just
across tate boundary line. Thus do'
some so narrowly miss fame.
The rank inscribed on the cairn
dedicated to the memory of General
Sir Wm. D. Otter, that of Maj. -Gen-
eral, is an error, as he was Inspec-
tor -General for Canada, the first
Canadian to attain that rank, and,
General Currie is the only other.
Chief Stong reports several found'
articles having been left in his of-
fice awaiting an owner, including a
sum of money. Those having lost
articles should stake inquiry as noth-
ing pleases the Chief better than re-
storing lost property to its owner.. ,
Mr. R. Ii, Johnson brought down
from his garden yesterday a potato
top which was something of a Cur-
iosity, it being about six feet long.
The stocks were still green and
fresh and, besides several good sized
tubers there were at the root a num- •.
her of small ones, apparently a seeond
growth, This has been a season of
curious growths.
Mr. R. E. Manning has been ap-
pointed treasurer of the Hospital
Board, succeeding Mrs. F. Hovey who. .
resigned, and'has already taken over
his duties. This is the first time the
board has had a orale treasurer and
a financial than like Mr'. Manning.

The board may find its financial' •
worries at an end.
