Sparks won the first game of their two -game series with Aylmer Gremlins in the ,Sen- ior O.B.A. basketball play-offs at the Tech gym in London Monday night, when they just managed to hold off a desperate Aylmer drive to win out by a 34 to 33. Clinton as a result carried a single point margin into the second game, which was played at Tech on Wednesday night. Clinton went right to work at the opening gun and Ied by Don Gray of Windsor, ran up a 17 to 7 lead at the 15 minute mark, Gray's passing and pivot shots were beautiful during this period. Ayimer's attack was too deliberate at first to go anywhere, but the veteran Red Wiseman got thein moving and made the score 19 to 14 at the half. Aylmer tried hard and had an edge in the last half, but were never able to take the lead as Clinton kept hanging away at the hoop success- fully. Elmer McLeod, from London, led the scoring parade, garnering 13 points for the Gremlins, 'while Wise- man with seven and Taylor six next inline. Junior Fox and Fgllis, a pair of well over six-foot forwards, led the scoring with seven points and controlled the ball on the majority of rebounds. Goldbloom and Don Gray also sparkled for the Clinton squad, AYLMER R.C.A:F. fg ft pf ,p iDuek 0 1 1 1 Martin 1 0 1 2 McLeod 5 3 0 13 Black •0 0 1 0 Wiseman 3 1 2 7 Reid 2 0 0 4 Taylor 3 0 4 6 Fletcher 0 0 1 0 IJ, Taylor 0 0 1 0 Totals14 5 11 33 CLINTON R.A.F. fg ft pf p Scaife 3 0 2 6 Bray .. „ 3 1 3 7 Foy 4 1 1 9 Goldbloom :... , 2 0 2 4 Follis 3 1 2 7 Dalton 0 0 1 0 Miller 0 1 0 1 Totals 15 4 11 34 Half-tima, Clinton 19, Aylmer 14.

World's Day of Prayer Service Observed in Clinton With this theme, "Father, I pray that they may all be one," running like a golden thread through the pray- ers, and all phases of the service, the annual observance of the Women's World Day of Prayer, was held on Friday, March 12th, in Ontario St. Un- ited Church. Mrs. Moffat Aiken, Pre- sident of the W.M.S., of 'Ontario St., Church, presided, and lead in the first part of the service. Those, who assist- ed, included, Mrs. F. Fingland, Mrs. N.

Waldorf, presided at the organ. During. the service, Mrs. G. Wesson sang "The Lord's Prayer." Mrs. D. J. Lane, of Goderich, re- presenting the Clinton. Presbyterian church, brought the devotional address to the meeting. Using as her text a passage from the third chapter of Joel, which in translation, read `;And the Lord shall be a place of repair." In the same way that physical and material things need repair, 'so we may repair om•selves spiritually in Christ.. Con - tinning, the speaker declared that so- cial 'evils are due largely to the in- difference of people of church' mem- bers, the Christians who should, above all other, heed Christ's prayers. Its or der to achieve the new obedience we must come to Jesus in a feeling of re- pentence and humility. During the season of Lent, we follow Christ on the way to the Cross. We will be strong, if the come to the place of repair. Prayer is needed as never ,be- fore, In our indifference our prayers are perfunctory, like unto the dress swords of officers, with no cutting edge. These prayers are not living, do not reach after God's promise. We must believe He is listening and that tle will •answer, .Our prayers and pe- titions will be answered according to needs, as God sees fit. In conclusion, Mrs. Lane urged her hearers not to cease praying at this critical phase of our history, and that during the Lent- en season was a fitting time to come to God's footstool. In this way our souls are spiritually repaired and broadened out in natural consequence, London. [our bodies and minds are built up.
