a rope from him and a clothes basket
borrowed from Kathleen they plan to

TAKING US BACK
The west window of O'Neil's gro-
cery this week shows a scene of pion-
eer days, with its log cabin, its sugar
kettle in the foreground and the su-
gar bush lit 'the background. The
cabin is the work of Mr. Gordon
Lawson and is very realisticalooking,
The "sugar bush" was painted: by,
Miss Lucile Grant and is very well
done indeed. There is just one change
we'd suggest. In depicting a scene
of pioneer days the sap bucket should
be replaced by the sap trough, Our
grandfathers knew nothing of the mo-
dern sap bucket.` They cut logs into
eonveniebt lengths, split them- and
then hollowed out the centre to form
a trough. These were used for catch-
ing the sap, which was"brought tb
camp in barrels and boiled in .big
black kettles over roaring log fires, in
the bush. Between you an' me, too,
no maple syrep .you get nowadays
seems to have the same delicious fla-
vor as the stuff we ate in childhood,
which was boiled in the big black ket-
tle in the woods,

Clinton Colts Beat Stratford Midgets 4-3
In Fast Game Monday Night
By beating Stratford here on Mon-
day night Clinton has a lead of one
goal to work on for the return game
Thursday, (this evening) and the -boys
Peal sure they can hold the Midgets
down, and enter the finals against
Paisley, as Owen Sound has dropped
the Northern ' League owing to so
mang. ny they games in the O.H.A. So
if the colts win out from Stratford
their chances are real gdod for the
ehanmpionship of the N.II.L•
IThe game developed into a real
struggle as the ice was soft and macre

worked hard„ h is
a ,nee ed andkept the
Stratford' defence very busy, when a-
•bout eight minutes of the genie' had
gone Cole made a great individual
rush right through g the whole visiting
teaand scored number one, the only
tally of the first period,
The second period was fast and ex,
citing and the crowd wore on their
toes all the time. After Six min-
utes of play Cole came back for his
second, a fast shot which bounced oft
Hayes shins and into the net. Things
looked pretty safe for Clinton then;
but Stratford came to life and scored
two in°rathet short order. Then.the
crowd "begai, to yell for a few more
goals.: 'Soon, after, by a beautiful'
combination with Higgins, Rorke and
Jack ,hutch working down the ice
abreast, Rorke passed to, Match and
he drove in goal number'three. The
Midgets then began to use their
weight but it didn't bother our boys
much, they usually got all they were
looking for when they ran into either
Nediger or Cole. This period' ended
3-2 for Clinton.
