SQUARE DEAL FOR.EVERYMAN " i On Monday night 'the Mitchell Junior, Hockey, team carne to Clinton and crossed sticks with the Clinton Yellow' Jackets, the game ending. in a score of 9-2 in favour of the Yel- low -Jackets. The Clinton boys apparently have just hit their stride as they gave a wonderful exhibition, )playing good combination,. Which secured to baffle the Mitchell team and 'pleased the spectators. Both teams back -cheek - ed fairly close, but 'Clinton had the best 'of the play throughout the whole game as the Clinton goalie hardly got warmed up. On the faceoff MoEwan got the puck, carried it up to the defence and shot, and Rath rushed in and got the rebound, scoring the first goal of the game in less than two minutes of play. Time after time the Clinton boys got the puck, and mounted the score to 4-0 before Mitchell could get a goal. Mitchell then got through to score their first goal, and Clinton retaliated with another and the period ended 5-1 in favour of Clin- ton. In the second period Mitchell scor- ed their second and last goal of the game, end, holding Clinton scoreless, gave a good account of themselves generally. The period ended with the score at b-2. In the third period Clinton con- tinued to bombard. the Mitchell goal- ie with very satisfying results to the Clinton fans, notching 4 goals in quick succession. During the dy- ing minutes of the game Mitchell goalie received the puck in the eye ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNlbED' Miss 'Lillian Cooper announces the engagement of her slitter, • Ellen late William the Blake, daughter - od. and Harriet Cooper., . to Charles M Ctautelon, son of the late Peter and Isabell Cantelon f Clinton; wed- ding to take place the 24th January.

Stevenson, Trewartha, Elliott, MBller, Livermore •and Crich availed themselves of the opportunity. Col. Combe said that he did not intend to stand for election this time, that he had been mayor for three years and that ought to be enough, He :expressed regret that his health had been such that he. hadbeen ob- liged to miss some meetings of coun- cil but lie felt that the business of the town had not suffered as the members of the council had been faithful and the work of the several committees had been well perform- ed. Mr. Stevenson thanked his mover and seconder and said that he had been urged to allow his name to be put in nomination for mayor and al- though not -an office seeker if elected would give the best that was in him to serve the town's interests, He would do his best to see that the tax- payer's received a dollar's worth for every dollar expended. He said he had had municipal experience in the town of St. 1Werys, having been the, youngest councillor. ever elected in that town, and had also served in the same capacity ft the north, hav- ing held a position similar • to that of warden - of a county here, so that lie was not a novice: IIe said some people, had questioned his right to hold a municipal position owing to the fact that the company to which he belongs enjoys a concessionfrom' lawyers tower. He' had consulted in regard to this and was assured that it was perfectly right and pro- per for him to hold ouch a position if elected. The bylaw relating to his company is fixed and cannot .Ibe changed for tee years, either by the town or his company. He said he was making no promises as .to what he would do if elected only. 'that he would use 'his best judgment in the, tnansactiot of the town's business.. Me. Trewartha -expressed regret 'that Mayor Combe had ,decided • to, clrpp Out as he had -made a good•pre- sicling officer. He' thought the 1930 Council ;a good one at' the. beginning Of the year and had not changed 'his mind. The town's money lead been handled, carefully, so much so that there was a nice balance left for the new council, there, being a sur- plus of" about $3,600 an hand.

He had been sent there as a "pinch -hitter," he said, to assist in putting the finances of the, county into better shape and that this; had .been done. ' He spoke of the Old Age Pensions and Mothers. Allowances and explainedhow the county finances 'had been managei6 so that the budget will balance this Year' He sand an -apple co olin and grading plant would probably be located in the county soon and that Clinton had some chance of getting' a branch of the Canadian Canners located here. Ii'e stressed the fact that Clinton is very favourably sit- uated, at the junction of two maim highways, and with every road leading into the town a provincial or county road. He said he was inter- ested in Clinton and its prosperity and would, if necessary, serve the town in' any way possible. Mr. Elliott said he did not need to say very much as he was already elected. He thanked those whe 'hail' nominated him and said he felt it an honour to be returned by acclamation as reeve of Clinton, He would do his best to serve the interests of the town. He had not the experience, of his predecessor, whom.' he would not have opposed had he been willing to stand, as he considered him as good a representative as Clinton could have. But he would do his best. He had enjoyed his work on the coun- cil.se ma' • sug- gestion, He had opposed one major g gestion, that of laying water to the cemetery, as he considered it too ex- pensive an undertaking. He had seen Hon. G. S. Henry in regard to the placing of a ston end go light at the corner but the Minister advised against it, as if it were working all the time it would be a needless delay to trafficand if working only at intervals it would peeve confusing. lilt. Holmes said he considered it an honour to cit at Clinton's coun- oil board, He had appreciated the privilege of sitting under en—mayor Jackson and 'Mayor Combe, as he had learned something fog each: Expressed regret at Mr. Trewartha's decision to retire as he considered him a fine representative. Clinton had many advantages and working together the citizens could improve it. We shotdld have curbing along our main streets. The council had worked together in harniony for the good of the town and other organ - Mations were also working' for the some ends. We- had excellent schools, no town of its size in Wes- tern Ontario having turned out so Mary outstanding students. The Home and School Club, the first in Huron County, and the Women's In. stitute were two institutions 'which were doing good work. He would' not canvas the citizens but if they wished to elect him as councillor he. would do his best to serve their in- terests. Mr, Miller thanked .his nominators and also expressed appreciation of the support given hint, in the past. He had served twelve years as coun- cillor and reeve and if he should de- cide to stand this year he trusted his past record would assure his return.. The committee of which he was chairmen, property, had made sev- eral improvements and had a surplus of $500. Mr. Livermore had served on the council board for eight years prior to, last year and he had beenurged to stand again. He had lived in Clinton nearly forty years, had reared his family here and was interested in. Clinton's prosperity. - If elected he would work for the. good of the• whole town, as he had always endea- vored to d:o in the past. Mr, Crich said he had not decided' whether he would stand but thanked' those who had' nominated him. He had had seventeen years' experience in municipal work in Tuckersmith, having served as councillor, and as reeve of "the beet township in Hu- ron" for ten years.

Fitzsimons, At the concluelon of the nomina- tions Meyer Combe was appointed to the chair and the nominees were given an opliortunity,'to speak. Mes- srs. Stevenson, Trewartha, Elliott, MBller, Livermore •and Crich availed themselves of the opportunity. Col. Combe said that he did not intend to stand for election this time, that he had been mayor for three years and that ought to be enough, He :expressed regret that his health had been such that he. hadbeen ob- liged to miss some meetings of coun- cil but lie felt that the business of the town had not suffered as the members of the council had been faithful and the work of the several committees had been well perform- ed. Mr. Stevenson thanked his mover and seconder and said that he had been urged to allow his name to be put in nomination for mayor and al- though not -an office seeker if elected would give the best that was in him to serve the town's interests, He would do his best to see that the tax- payer's received a dollar's worth for every dollar expended. He said he had had municipal experience in the town of St. 1Werys, having been the, youngest councillor. ever elected in that town, and had also served in the same capacity ft the north, hav- ing held a position similar • to that of warden - of a county here, so that lie was not a novice: IIe said some people, had questioned his right to hold a municipal position owing to the fact that the company to which he belongs enjoys a concessionfrom' lawyers tower. He' had consulted in regard to this and was assured that it was perfectly right and pro- per for him to hold ouch a position if elected. The bylaw relating to his company is fixed and cannot .Ibe changed for tee years, either by the town or his company. He said he was making no promises as .to what he would do if elected only. 'that he would use 'his best judgment in the, tnansactiot of the town's business.. Me. Trewartha -expressed regret 'that Mayor Combe had ,decided • to, clrpp Out as he had -made a good•pre- sicling officer. He' thought the 1930 Council ;a good one at' the. beginning Of the year and had not changed 'his mind. The town's money lead been handled, carefully, so much so that there was a nice balance left for the new council, there, being a sur- plus of" about $3,600 an hand. Ie, had bees;•. chairman of the' street committee. 'but. the four members of the committee: had each, been re sponsible for a ward and Ile felt that the ,canmmiittee had been more ofiuccoui: in this wa'v as each. had • onP his best for his aid. They: had put 82,000 into the estimhies .for the use of .the street committee and they had spent', $1.,553 The 2:aldnce weuld leave been spent if winter hod" not. set!inn to soon, however, as .it was the intention to de some more gravelling and he hoped this would ii 'ng.He also be done in the spx gave some account oil his work at the county council. He had been sent there as a "pinch -hitter," he said, to assist in putting the finances of the, county into better shape and that this; had .been done. ' He spoke of the Old Age Pensions and Mothers. Allowances and explainedhow the county finances 'had been managei6 so that the budget will balance this Year' He sand an -apple co olin and grading plant would probably be located in the county soon and that Clinton had some chance of getting' a branch of the Canadian Canners located here. Ii'e stressed the fact that Clinton is very favourably sit- uated, at the junction of two maim highways, and with every road leading into the town a provincial or county road. He said he was inter- ested in Clinton and its prosperity and would, if necessary, serve the town in' any way possible. Mr. Elliott said he did not need to say very much as he was already elected. He thanked those whe 'hail' nominated him and said he felt it an honour to be returned by acclamation as reeve of Clinton, He would do his best to serve the interests of the town. He had not the experience, of his predecessor, whom.' he would not have opposed had he been willing to stand, as he considered him as good a representative as Clinton could have. But he would do his best. He had enjoyed his work on the coun- cil.se ma' • sug- gestion, He had opposed one major g gestion, that of laying water to the cemetery, as he considered it too ex- pensive an undertaking. He had seen Hon. G. S. Henry in regard to the placing of a ston end go light at the corner but the Minister advised against it, as if it were working all the time it would be a needless delay to trafficand if working only at intervals it would peeve confusing. lilt. Holmes said he considered it an honour to cit at Clinton's coun- oil board, He had appreciated the privilege of sitting under en—mayor Jackson and 'Mayor Combe, as he had learned something fog each: Expressed regret at Mr. Trewartha's decision to retire as he considered him a fine representative. Clinton had many advantages and working together the citizens could improve it. We shotdld have curbing along our main streets. The council had worked together in harniony for the good of the town and other organ - Mations were also working' for the some ends. We- had excellent schools, no town of its size in Wes- tern Ontario having turned out so Mary outstanding students. The Home and School Club, the first in Huron County, and the Women's In. stitute were two institutions 'which were doing good work. He would' not canvas the citizens but if they wished to elect him as councillor he. would do his best to serve their in- terests. Mr, Miller thanked .his nominators and also expressed appreciation of the support given hint, in the past. He had served twelve years as coun- cillor and reeve and if he should de- cide to stand this year he trusted his past record would assure his return.. The committee of which he was chairmen, property, had made sev- eral improvements and had a surplus of $500. Mr. Livermore had served on the council board for eight years prior to, last year and he had beenurged to stand again. He had lived in Clinton nearly forty years, had reared his family here and was interested in. Clinton's prosperity. - If elected he would work for the. good of the• whole town, as he had always endea- vored to d:o in the past. Mr, Crich said he had not decided' whether he would stand but thanked' those who had' nominated him. He had had seventeen years' experience in municipal work in Tuckersmith, having served as councillor, and as reeve of "the beet township in Hu- ron" for ten years.
