Annual Meeting Of W.M.S.
Huron Presbyterial Held
''R"'Ili Clinton
The annual business meeting of
Huron Presbyterial W.M.S. of the
Presbyterian Church in Canada was
held on Wednesday, January 14th, in
Clinton Presbyterian ebut•ch, with
morning' and afternoon sessions. Del.
egates were present from Blyth, Clin-
ton, Exeter, Goderich, Hensall and
Seaforth,and were cordially welcom-
ed by the Presbyterial president, Mrs.
H. Jack 'of Seaforth.
The morning session opened with
the singing of a hymn, followed by
the Scripture reading by Mrs. C. Hudll-
son of Hensall ,and prayer by Nil's.
J. Thompson -of Seaforth.
In+ her presidential address Mrs.
Jaek suggested that it might be a
good thing for each member to look
back and, ask herself the question,
"What made you begin to take an
interest
s in missions'?" ssronsY It may
have
been a talk from a missionary, when
you heard of the great need for the
Gospel of Christ in other lands. Per-
haps you heard of the unwanted bab-
ies ]eft to, die or babies who
are fed opium, se they will
sleep while the mother goes' to work
in the fields, or of the thousands who
die every year through ignorance al'
neglect, who might have been saved.
Sometimes it is the: influence of a
mother with •a living faith in God who
inspires us to carry on, but what-
ever our motive we must go forward
in this new year, with the determin-
ation that the work of our Church
and our W.M.S. will be -carried on.
Any sacrifice we are called upon to
make is small compared with the
sacrifice that Jesus made for us. He
went about doing good. Let us try
our best to follow His example."
The minutes, of the last . annual
meeting were read, by the secretary,
Mrs. M. A. Reid of Seaforth, followed
by reports of the work done in each
department of the W.M.S.

COLTS AND SISKINS TIE
HOME GAME
Good Crowd Sees Home Game With
Waterloo
Goderich Flyers To 'Play
Here Friday Night
A. ten-minute overtime scoreless
period left the Clinton Colts' and
Waterloo Siskine game played here
Tuesday night a tie. The ice was soft
making stiekwork difficult. .rens
were loud: in their praise of the man-
ner in which. Referee G. Muir of Sea -
forth, handled the genie. It was one
of the cleanest games played here
with no minor snuffles breaking out.
"Timmer" McEwan led the Colts at-
tack, scoring three of the five goals.
Scoring honors also went to "Cooney"
McEwan and Cee, 1VI.cConriell.
In the first period the Colts open-
ed the scoring, "Timmer" McEwan
doing the trick on a nice pass from
"'Izzy" Powell. R. Cotey evened the
score in a solo effort and R. Vogt.
put the visitors one up at 15.30 when,
teaming with Hanes, they maneu-
vered the puck from the face-off.
With less than a minute left in, the
first frame, Harris made it 3-1 for
the Siskine. Kumph was penalized
in this period for tripping..
After four minutes of the second
period, "Cooney" scored from Danny
C'olquhoun's assist; then Harris coun-
tered! at 16 minutes • to keep his team
well in the lead. With two minutes
to go, Timmer and Rath reduced the
deficit to one goal. C, Vogt was
penalized for bodying to the boards.
The third period was tense with
the Colts forcing the play to the vis-
iting goal when Timmer and Punch
teamed up to tie the score. The raf-
ters fairly shook when McConnell put
the Colts one up. But within a scant
10 seconds of the final bell C. Vogt
found an opening when Neilans fell
in attempting to block.
Both teams set a hot pace in the
overtime and there were almost sure
goals turned aside by both goalies.
Fust two penalties were handed out,.
to the visiting team. We missed Bob
Draper, who is in bed with the flu.
The lineup:
Waterloo-Dahme, goal; Clair, Wil-
lis, 'de'fairce;' 8. "Cotey, centres Lang
Solomon, wings; alternates, Harris,
R. Cotey, C. Vogt, R. Vogt, Pearson
