Caryl Draper, of:Clinton, ,who refereed_the,game, was consideredaby seine to, be almost too triet Penal.- • izing the players, there' being a con- tinual stream to the penalty !Mx, not that there was-e.tnuch int,entional rqugh stuff, rather it eeemed to be clumsiness and awkwardness, both teams offending in this regard. The first period. of the game was in the main, rather quiet, with Bill Beck relieving frequently with end to end rushes. Both goaltendees had two or theee•narrow escapes. IliarlY in the second period Clinton thought they had scored a goal, but the re- feree•aecepted the emphatic assertion of the goal umpire that the puck had not entered the net and no goal was allowed. Not long after this incl.. dent Robinson • scored for the home team and pandemonium reigned for o fe* minutes. Elwood Thompson earried the bffik of the work for the homesters in the last stanza, during which the visitors were hard pressed throughout the entre period, The Red and White forward lind broke away near the finish and on a pass from Nairn, Robinson ecored the se - anal and final goal of the game, and the round was tied, Clinton having web at home 4-2. On the whole the local boys made a creditable showing and are deserving of a much stronger support froth the citizens, the et- tendance at the gameebeing less than 800.

HOW DOES IT STRIKE YOU ? • 'Vlach discussion has been raieed by the cutting down of the Hospital, Collegiate arid other grants by the county couneil. The idea tbab Hos- pitale and Schools are only of bene- fit to the centres 11 which they are situated is of courSe a mistaken one. The first patient admitted to the new Hospital in Clinton last week was from the Township et Fully Bfty pee cent.' of Clinton Collegiate students are from outside the town. The News -Record would like the views of the people on -Ibis question and will threw its columns open to the expression of views, pen and eon, T14'only .stiptilittions we make are that communications be as brief as possi- ble, that only the matter under die - be brought in arid no bitter - n053 or personalities be introduced, A calm discussion of., the Matter would, we feel sure, be beneficial.
