When The Present Century Was Young FROM THE CLINTON NEWS RECORD JANUARY 23RD, 1902 Mrs. Mark Castle, a former resident of Clinton died the other day at her Home near Wingham.

The Clinton hockey team treated their admirers at the rink last Thurs- day night by, defeating S'eaforthts fast O.H.A. team by 14 goals to 3. Seaforth has a very fast forward line, but• the stonewall defense work of McKay and Dement with "Shep" in goal was too hard a proposition for their forward line to get through, with any degree of success. McKay made some fine rushes down the ice breaking through the opponents de- fence time and again. The forward line worked like machinery and got in some fine combination, the effect- ive. shooting done by Harold Steep being probably the most noticeable feature. The Clinton line-up is: goal, A. Shepherd; point, E. Daymen't; cov- er, R. McKay; forwards, H. Steep, J, Glarridge, P. Matheson and J. Doher- ty. ` The people of Colborne and Goder- ieh townships are very much in earn- est in their requestto the county councilto build another bridge across the Maitland, Miss Nona Miller has returned home from Toronto.

Mail Fresh case of matches igniting in package at Base Post Office;; warning given. Notwithstanding t h e repeated warnings of the Canadian Post Of- fice Department against sending mat- ches, lighter -fluid or any other in- flammable substance through the mails, a fresh case of a parcel' burst- ing into flames at the Base Post Of- fice, Ottawa, has just been, repotted to Honourable William P. Mulock, K.C., Posmaster General, by Canad- ian Postal Corps authorities. A few days ago when a bag of or- dinary parcel post was being emptied on the opening table at the Base Post Office, one of the parcels burst into flames. Examination of the package revealed that among its contents were six boxes of matches, one of which had become ignited and caused the fire. Such a blaze might easily have resulted in huge loss to the other mails, and to the premises, while had it occurred when the bags were stow- ed away deep in the hold of a mail steamer the outbreak could have caused the loss of the ship and of the valuable cargo, not to mention injury and loss of life to the heroic person- nel ersonnel who are risking their lives to get the arms, supplies and mails safely overseas in the face of constant danger from hostile submarines, air- craft and surface raiders. The Postal authorities lost no time in impressing the sender with the gravity of his action and with the fact that the most seribus consequences might have resulted from his thought- lessness. The Postmaster General requests the public to give him their co-oper- ation in safeguarding the mails to our armed services by never mailing mat- ches of any sort, Iighter-fluid or other articles likely to cause fire or dam- age. It is contrary to Postal regulations for any person to post, for delivery or transmission, by or through the mails any inflammable, explosive, danger- ous or destructive substance or liquid, etc., and the person so doing is sub- ject to prosecution. on Saturday last for Ottawa where they are attending the Normal School.
