CIVIC HOLIDAY CELEBRATION The annual celebration .of August. 4th, 1924 held under the auspices of Clinten Athletic Association was one of the best and proved a great fin- ancial success. as well as a'tnost en- joyable time for all. The weather was /somewhat theeatening hut this failed to attar in any way the enthusiasm of those taking part in the parade. At 9:30 a.m• throngs greeted the par: ade, which was 'headed, by the Clin- ton Ki'Itie Band. Many ,beautiful floats and decorated` autos were ex- hibited, a great interest being ta- kenby farmers in decorating cars with farm produce. Following these was a splendid variety of comie or- ganizations, clowns, Jazz Bands, de- corated bicycles, hard time outfits, etc, Many beautiful costumes were also displayed as well as humorous characterrs, represented.. Alii pro - seeded to the park where the judging took place and, rewards given. The afternoon was spent in games and sports of various kinds and proved to be a busy one. The Sunset Quartette and T. Gill, comedian of London, gave the even- ing ,program which was well received by every one, The day ended with a grand display of, fireworks which were kindly donated by W. D. Fair & Co. The only disappointment of the days proceedings was the failure of the Milburn and Brucefield teams to appear and keep the agreement made with them some weeks ago. Some remor being afloat that these teams would not play here on this date the committee got in touch with their representatives on' Saturday, August 2nd and at this date promised faithfully s«to he here,. The com- mittee feel ari injustice has been done them, by this, for this year as in former years they endeav- oured to present the 'program as ad- vertised. The committee' heartily thank all those who donated the prizes and helped make the day a success, Following is the list of prize win ners: Trades Float -W- T.

'KNITTING COMPANY'S PI.GNIC • The firstan annual picnic n p c c of the Clin- ton Knitting'Gompany (under the new management) .was held at Bayfield o}t Thursday, July 31st. Some one hundred and twenty-five of the employees and their friends met at warehouse at 9 a •. where motor busses - and ears were assembl- ed and a parade through the town was made. . Arriving at Bayfield a game of soft ,bail tools place. The prize was a pair of silk $t8ckings for each mem- ber of the winning team, Some twenty-three events mostly races were.carried out in the 'a;iler- noon. These were closely contested, Miss Elsie Cooper and Miss Viola Li- vermore proudly winning the largest number of prizes during the: day. The refreshments supplied by the girls of the company left nothing to be desired. A most successful and pleasant day was brought to a close by a dance in the pavilion. Much credit is due Mr. John Nedl- ger for the manner in which he pro- vided transportation, SUCCESSFUL TEACHER The following refers to a former Clintonian: "Mr. Arthur II. Howell, Director of the Ottawa School of Music was in Aylmer last week conducting examin- ations in the interests of the London College of Music of England,, of which college our fellow townswoman, Mrs. Maude -Campbell is the honotred re- presentative. The followiny pupils of Mrs. Campbell were successful: Pianoforte, Grade 1 -Helen Brooks, honors, Grade 2 --Jack Putnam and Jean Eaton, drat class honors, Joan .Lee- son, honors, Murray Miller and Leota Baxter, pass. Grade 3 -Iola Johnson, honors; Fred Love, pass, 'Grade 4 -Gladys Crosby, honors; Clayton Fulkerson and Ralph Smith, pass. Grade 6 -Jean Moore,first class honors. In presenting the above ex- cellent report to us the Examiner, Mr, Howell, also made the following. com- ment: "The work of 'the pupils showed a high order of training and I compli- ment Mrs. Campbell on the good work" as shown by her pupils and I mention the fact that I would like to have her on the staff of my school in Ottawa." (It would be .a distinct loss to Aylmer should Mrs, Campbell accept this offer and go to Ottawa, and we ust trher work in Aylmer will increase to such an extent that she will not think of leaving town.) FRIDAY'S LACROSSE GAME The first game in the play-off for district honours between Mitchell and Clinton was won by the Clinton boys, on Friday .evening by the score of 10-2. Referee Dopp of: Toronto got the boys away at five, o'clock. Fran the face-off it was apparent that the local boys were out to give the best exhibi- tion they have given so far this sea - sole In a Very few minutes, by smart fielding and accurate passing W. Ful- ford seored the first goal. Another was scored shortly afterwards by the same player., The ball ranged from end to end for some time. Then Fred Elliott, securing the ball, rushed in, passed the defence, and scored the third and lase goal of -the period. The second period opened fast with our boys showing to better advantage in combination with the result that be- fore it was half over Jack Mutcii, af- ter accepting passes beat the defense for three clever goals. Just here Joe Higgins acting es •stile for Ken Roberton entered the 'game, secured the hall on a pass and raced 10 for the pass back and secured the fourth goal;:- Another goal was scored just, as the whistle blew but was not. allowed leaving the score at 7 to, 0 When the third period commenced our boys seemed to think thet -they had done a days', work, Mitchell cane to life and scored:: the only goal of this period,: When the lasterr t. p od started': our boys found they had to dig in as Mit- chell'scored their second goal shortly after the• period opened. By.return- ing to their former style of play the home boys .got „going again and goals by Hee Roberton, W.I,.Fulford ::and Mike Cools followed, in;'r-alrid sueces,. tion leaving the final count -1.0-2.
