McEwen broke away on a lone tush and got ;in fairly close •to,seud the puck past the St, Marys goalie evening the score. --Little of Clinton drew i penalty.

Aecond after the bell the prick s 1 k. came into the St. Marys goal Mouth bat the • so-called goal was disallowed _by the referee, • : Nritlt the score -a tie, the last peri - ea got iuuler way fast. Clinton tried a long 'one which was easily handled by the St. Marys net custodian. Clinton drew a penalty. St. Marys went down three abreast arnd a heavy checking encounter "ensued. The puck slipped away . and Donnell pounced -on it sending: it .whizzing into the Clinton: pet for the tie - breaking score. Clinton died .hard. They calve close to scaring oh two oecastons when the St. Marys goalie had " to come out.

A WORD IN SEASON W e should like to say , to all who send items for publication to' write on only one side of the paper. The 7inotype operator isnot supposed 1,o turn the.eopy over, when he sets one side of a page he puts that on a hook on his machine and proceeds to the ,text, Copy paper to .a typeset- ter has only one side. Also, we wish.. abbreviate. Ti e to say again, do .nott editor has to go over all copy and write out every abbreviated word and every sign ;which is supposed to de- note a wend, as typesetters are sup- posed' to "follow copy." If all the signs used in;some copy wore left its the items "would not look well in. print." Often, too, abhr•eviations are used -and no rosin left to write. out the which results in diffi- cult cult copy. If the word wore spelt outin the first place it would stake it much easier for both editor and typesetter. ;1 ho News—Record welcomes all it- ems of news, especially if they are £resit`',. No newspaper likes stale news, but fresh. news, even though 11 is not just • ready for the operator, will always be welcome its this office and if only one side of thepaper is used anti all words spelt out, it will bo that nlueli more welcome. We extend sincere thanks for past favors along this line and hope they will continue. McDONALD--MERil!AN Miss Edith Tlerman, R.N., daugh- ter of Rev.
