CLINTON The Near Era Est. 1867• ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1940 CLINTON & SEAFORTH MEET FOR GROUP HONOURS FIRST GAME IN SEAFORTH • FRIDAY NIGHT RETURN GAME HERE MONDAY Seaforth defeated Tavistock 8-5 and Clinton. took their half of the semi- finals with New Hamburg 16-4, so once again these two old rivals will battle it out for group honours. The first game is called for Friday night in Seaforth and back here Monday. Here's hoping the weatherman gives us the cold shoulder until a final. decision is reached. In New Hamburg last week the Colts had all they could do to nose out a 4.5 decision. The way the first period ended here in the return en- gagement Tuesday night it looked as if it (might be the same. In that first period play was close and checking heavy. Neither team could find the net and odds were about even. C. Boehler in the opening minutes went 'over on a weak ankle and had to leave the ice which more or less dis- organized' his. line. Despite that the Burghers kept the Colts out. For about seven minutes in the second period the same order- pre- vailed. Then Meeker got the nod for tripping McKay and in a flash the picture changed. While he was off Stu. Grant smagked in a couple of beautiful goals, one of them a long shot from the blue line between the legs of Roth and Einslie. Draper, who was working like a well-oiled machine all night and playing beauti- ful hockey, made it three when he went through alone to beat Falhaufer cleanly. A couple of minutes later Punch McEwan made it 4-0, Foster earning a piece of that one. Eichler lifted one from the blue line for the only goal of the game for the visit- ors. Seconds later Punch McEwan slapped home Foster's rebound, and McKay made a solo flight for the 6th goal for the Colts. Foster was sent to the box seconds before the bell ended a wide open period. The Burghers turned on the heat in. the first few. minutes to take ad- vantage of Foster's absence. Both teams missed some golden chances all through the period. New Hamburg marksmen ,peppered Doak time after time, but he turned in a stellar per- formance all the way through, coming 'way out of the net at least three times to save when the Colts defence were eluded. At other times he was helped out admirably by the Clinton stalwart defence, Young, Grant, Doak and McKay. "Bucky" Doak earned his goal within four minutes of the opening bell, sharing the honours with "Tim- mer" McEwan. Pickett drew a pen- alty for chopping at Roth and while he was off Grant made a long dist- ance ;flight all by himself for a beautiful goal. Foster did likewise in loss than a couple of minutes and then was sent to the cooler for a minor infraction. When he came back on again he fed "Timmer" McEwan for Clinton's tenth goal. Punch Mc - Ewan from McKay and Draper from Pickett piled the final count up to 12-1 before the period ended. Although the score was 12-1 the New Hamburg lads put up a good battle. Roth was a constant worry to the Colts, and Reid, a chunky centre man, also deserved star rating for the visitors. The B. H. in head- lining their writeup say "Colts trample N. Hamburg Club." But that is hardly fair. As we saw it the game was much better than the store would indicate. Clinton—Goal, ,II. Doak; Def., Young, A. Doak; Centre, R. McEwan; Wings, F. McEwan, Foster.

I. hockey team blasted their way through "the ranks of St. Thomas' Wossa group winnees like a detachment ,of Finns routing the Russians. The game was played here Monday night before a small crowd and was a 'slaughter from start to finish. In the final minutes of the game the St. Joseph's School- man- agement sent out all reserve power, using six forwards, ids, who wereunable e to break down, the stone wall resist- ance of the locals. With 'a lead of. just eighteen goals Monteith and Mc- Ewran banged a couple more into the open net to make the final count 20-0. Eight goals were scored in the first period, six hi the second and the same numiber in the last 'frame. R. Monteith accounted for nine, McEwan four, Colquhoun three, Thompson two, Bartliff two.. This sudden death game gave the C.C.I. defence men a chance to play forward most of the game. Colquhoun, a valuable de- fenceman to the team, not only net- ted three goals but earned himself assists on at least three others. He played heads -up hockey all the way, as he has done all season, and de- served to get on the score sheet. Hawkins in the Clinton net had little to do except watch the slaughter, but on the few chances the visitors had Jack kicked or punched them out from all angles.

HAMBURG ROUTED 8-1 BY JUVENILES LAST NIGHT SKILL TRIUMPHS OVER BRAWN Ladies Doing Their Bit From November 23rd to February, 21st the Clinton Branch has shipped to the Red Cross Society, Toronto, the following: 622 pairs socks; 119 pairs wrist- lets; 24 sweaters; 12 Hospital gowns; 30 pairs pyjamas; 33 ,searves; 10. helmets; d pair mitts; 7 hot water bottle covers. Take it from us. You hockey fans who missed last nights Juvenile game here with New Hamburg really mis- sed a treat. The visitors are a big rangey team, with lots of skating speed and they're pretty good players too. Their size and weight however did not equal the skill of the locals as the score of 8-1 in favor of Min- ton might indicate. It really was a good exhibition of hockey though. Rolfe Monteith was a standout player for the locals as usual. There's no hit and miss to his. playing. Every move means something. Dan Colqu- houn gets our next nod for star rat- ing. He was particularly effective in checking and was quick to take ad- vantage of every breakaway. .The whole team in fact turned in a fine performance, but in our opinion the boys mentioned deserved special mention. rJp against the bigger lads Powell stood up well under thepressure and earned himself one goal and three assists. The first goal of the game came from McEwan's stick within three minutes of the face off. Eichler got the nod for tripping Colquhoun on a nice effort and shortly after he got back on Goebel got the nod, Mon- teith slapped in the first of his five goals of the game and was aided nicely by Harry McEwan who did a nice job all evening. Monteith shot a hard one which bounced off the goalies' stick into the -net shortly before the period ended. Powell earn. ed a slice on that one Monteith counted again early in the second with a fine lone effort. Grimes got the only goal for the visitor one minute later when he eluded Me- Kenzie's body check nicely. His was a good clean counter although it ap- peared to us that Carter stopped harder shots, This was the first real workout Carter has had and his work was O.K. Colquhoun brought the puck up from defence and wormed his way through, then fed Bartliff a beautiful pass for the fifth goal at the twelve minute mark. Before the peroid ended McKenzie was sent to the cooler and was still there he the final period opened. Bill Cook was the playmaker for Clinton's sixth goal, enapped in by Powell. Bill also earned an assist on Monteith's next counter. Against thea heavier boys he was effective and turned in his best performance of the season. .The final goal was cred- ited to Monteith, assisted by McRivan in a scramble around the net. As we have said it was a good clean game, and the visitors did not take advantage of their extra weight, We wish we had more space to devote to it. If you haven't been, in the habit of seeing the Juveniles play, stretch e point and sea the next one. You won't be disappointed. Members of the Royal Bank staff were guests at the home of a fellow' worker, Mr. Alvin Corless, on T'ues'- day evening. All enjoyed an oyster supper.

LITTLE LOCALS PROOF Last week an advertisement ap- peared in the News -Record as "Good fol- lows: used piano wanted. Am- ply News -Record." By three o'clock Thursday afternoon two replies had been received. More came in later in the day, and by the end of the week the advertiser had received re- plies from six people who had a piano to sell. When you can't shout it from the housetop, tell it quietly by ad- vertising. ;Special Entertainment Draws Good Crowds Sponsored by the International Harvester Company on behalf of their local dealer, two, free shows were given in the Town Hall on Saturday. Owing to the condition of the roads the rural communities were not rep- resented as fully as they would have been had transportation conditions been normal, although a goodly num- ber attended the afternoon perform- ance• The programmes were educational and entertaining. The primary pur- pose was of course to advertise farm machines, particularly the new lines of tractors introduced this year with many improvements designed to save money and time. The entertainment however was freely nixed with ma- terial to make it enjoyable to every- one, The films shown were modern, covering a wide range of subjects. The motorized Scottish regiment in training; the Royal Visit; life on the farm, humorous and serious; comedy for the children; the new tractors performing hazardous tests and or- dinary farm work were among the interesting pictures shown. In between films the audience was entertained by Alf. & Tonuny, comed- ians. Alf. was of course the voice, although Tommy was a realistic dum- my. Alf. also. amazed everyone with his sleight-of-hand tricks, picking money out of the air, making fancy articles from torn strips of paper and other tricks that astounded everyone. At the :evening performance Mayor Waters brought words of greeting on behalf of the citizens, business men and town. council. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Cliff Proctor for his part in bringing the enter- tainments to Clinton. Mr. A. J. Mc- Murray officiated as master of cere- monies. J. C. Shearer Addressed Women's Institute Last Thursday The Women's Institute held their regular meeting on Thursday, Feb- ruary 22nd with Miss Brigham acting as president. After the opening ex- ercises the roll call was answered by current events. Mrs. Holmes then gave some suitable remarks on the motto which was "The critic you will often find of failings of his own is blind," Mr. Shearer, Ag'rieultural Repre- sentative, was the speaker and took for his subject, "Conservation", which embraces all natural resources. He said Huron County would be one hundred years old next year and was one of the best counties in the province, with a water front of about 80 miles, and a good farming district with many beautiful places of scen- ery. In Huron County we have only 5% bush land whereas we should have 15%, as bush land helps to keep water supply from running low, and also helps to prevent flows. There are also many beautiful wild flowers which are only found in the bush, our emblem, the trillium, for instance. Mr. Shearer strongly advocates re- forestation. Last year there were several hundred more trees planted than in previous years, showing a vast increase along that line. He also suggested the planting of shrubs and flowers which add greatly to the beauty of the surroundings. Beauti- ful scenery always attracts tourists which is a benefit to all. The re- stocking of creeks andrivers with fish was also mentioned. Mr. Shear- ers' address was very interesting and instructive and Mrs. N. W. Tre- warthe moved a very hearty vote of thanks to him, which was endorsed by all. Mrs, Oster, District Representative from Blyth was present and gave some remarks on Parliamentary Pro- cedure. The musical part of the program consisted of two vocal solos by Mrs. Cummings of Blyth, "Juan- ita", and "Silver- Threads Among the Gold", and a piano solo by Allis Lou Thompson, which was much enjoyed by ail. The hostesses were Mrs. A. Gudmore, Mrs. M. Crich, Mrs, J. Flynn, Mrs. H. Thompson. agricultural representative. Special speaker for the afternoon will be J. C. Merritt, of the forestry branch, Toronto, and for the evening W. P. Watson, of the livestock branch, On- tario department of agriculture. The project was organized by Mr. Shearer at the request of Mrs. Harold Taylor, Parkhill, director of U.F.W.O. in South Huron. The _increasing interest in refores Twa beautiful silver pieces have been received at the Agricultural Zee.

In the crowd for the Clinton-Seaforth game, former year 200,000 trees were plant- tomorrow night. All reserved seats, ed and in the latter 378,000, were sold yesterday by 10 o'clock. Frank Elwood, son of Mr. and Mrs,_ Ernest Elwood, after being taken sick, at school yesterday moaning was re- moved to Clinton Hospital last night- for ightfor an appendicitis operation. We noticed one man knocking - icicles from his eavesteough this. week with a home-made contraption which was doing not too badly. He merely attached an ordinary hoe te- a long pole. Rev. Gordon Peddie conducted the. devotional hour broadcast over. CICNX yesterday morning. He was assisted by Misses Florence Aiken and Jean Morgan. Mrs. Bert Boyes. was at the piano. An open meeting under the auspices of the Red Cross, Society will be, held in the Town Hall, Tuesday after- noon at 3'p.m. The speaker will be Dr. Thompson, of the Dental Health Hygiene Council, The business meet- ing of the Red Cross will be held at 2,30. Scouts Celebrate Birthday of Founder Plan to Gather Waste Paper Last Friday evening marked an interesting event for • the scouting organizations of Clinton when over ninety Brownies, Cubs, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and Rover Scouts cele- brated the birthdays of Lard and Lady Baden-Powell. The beloved founder, who is not enjoying the best of health is now eighty-three years of age. From a small beginning scouting has spread to all countries cf the, world. Greed and colour are set aside) as all endeavor to follow out the principles of scouting. In Canada alone at the last census there were 100,000 scouts and cubs, not to men- tion the girls organizations. The birthday celebration was snent in games, stunts, and singing led by' Scoutmaster Sam Castle and was made complete with a lunch of send- wishes, Bookies and cocoa. A. steady increase in membership in the local organizations is noted under the. splendid sponsorship of the Lions Club. At present a company of Rang- ers is being formed. The scouts again wish to remind the citizens of Clinton to save waste paper. Over three tons of paper was gathered last fall and is still on hand. After the spring collection is made the lot will be sold, if the mar- ket is suitable, and the proceeds turn- ed over to patriotic purposes DRAMA GROUP INCREASES IN POPULARITY One -Act Plays Well Received An Important Meeting Monday night's council meeting„ which will commence at 7 o'clock, will be of more than ordinary interest. We understand several ;toms of impor- tance to every tax payer are to be brought up. These include the aud- itor's report which will no doubt have an important bearing on the tax rate struck for this year. Another matter to be deal with will be the appointment of an assessor and tax collector. It is hoped a large number of ratepayers will be present to lend their moral support to the men they have elected to conduct the town's; business. With some hesitation the executive of the Clinton Drama Group selected two one -act plays for the second presentation in a series of plays be- ing presented to raise money for Red Gross work. The remark has fre- quently quently been heard that one -act plays do not "take", but this was refuted decisively Friday evening. A capac- ity crowd filled the town hall and many flattering remarks have been heard since on the quality of the performances. The programme was well balanced.. The first play, "Nellie McNabb," was of the lighter variety dealing with a colunn on advice to the lovelorn. All characters in the play seek advice, and as might be expected, there are some interesting revelations before the play is concluded. The characters were Helen Stratford—Mrs. F. Ping - land; Ursula — Jeanette Taylor; Daphne Isobel Colquhoun; Lolly - Fraser Thompson; John Appleford— George McLay; Lottie — Vivian Knights. While the stage was being set for the second play, . "The Bishop's Candlesticks", the audience was en- tertained with solos by Mrs. B. Kearns and Miss Pearl Elliott, also tap dancing by Lloyd Fulford. Ac- companists were Mrs. Bert Boyes and Miss Ellen Charlesworth. Adapted from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" this second play held the audience and brought to light some previously unlmown dramatic talent. The leading pants of the bishop and convict were taken by Mr. E. Pater- son. and Dr. Geddes respectively and call for special mention. They were ably supported by Miss Dorothy Cor- less as Persone; Miss Evelyn Hall as Marie, John. Nediger as sergeant of gendarmes; Charles Johnson and John Levi's, gendarmes. Directors- of the plays were Mrs. A. H. O'Neil and. Miss Irene Abbott. To date a total of $231.83 has been received from sale of tickets and a second presentation of "Chintz Cot- tage" at Blyth. Expenditures to date total $22.94, leaving a balance of $208.89 on hand. A third play is: to be presented early in April and the presentation of a light .operetta. has also been suggested.

If you haven't been, in the habit of seeing the Juveniles play, stretch e point and sea the next one. You won't be disappointed. Members of the Royal Bank staff were guests at the home of a fellow' worker, Mr. Alvin Corless, on T'ues'- day evening. All enjoyed an oyster supper.

Owing to the condition of the roads the rural communities were not rep- resented as fully as they would have been had transportation conditions been normal, although a goodly num- ber attended the afternoon perform- ance• The programmes were educational and entertaining. The primary pur- pose was of course to advertise farm machines, particularly the new lines of tractors introduced this year with many improvements designed to save money and time. The entertainment however was freely nixed with ma- terial to make it enjoyable to every- one, The films shown were modern, covering a wide range of subjects. The motorized Scottish regiment in training; the Royal Visit; life on the farm, humorous and serious; comedy for the children; the new tractors performing hazardous tests and or- dinary farm work were among the interesting pictures shown. In between films the audience was entertained by Alf. & Tonuny, comed- ians. Alf. was of course the voice, although Tommy was a realistic dum- my. Alf. also. amazed everyone with his sleight-of-hand tricks, picking money out of the air, making fancy articles from torn strips of paper and other tricks that astounded everyone. At the :evening performance Mayor Waters brought words of greeting on behalf of the citizens, business men and town. council. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Cliff Proctor for his part in bringing the enter- tainments to Clinton. Mr. A. J. Mc- Murray officiated as master of cere- monies. J. C. Shearer Addressed Women's Institute Last Thursday The Women's Institute held their regular meeting on Thursday, Feb- ruary 22nd with Miss Brigham acting as president. After the opening ex- ercises the roll call was answered by current events. Mrs. Holmes then gave some suitable remarks on the motto which was "The critic you will often find of failings of his own is blind," Mr. Shearer, Ag'rieultural Repre- sentative, was the speaker and took for his subject, "Conservation", which embraces all natural resources. He said Huron County would be one hundred years old next year and was one of the best counties in the province, with a water front of about 80 miles, and a good farming district with many beautiful places of scen- ery. In Huron County we have only 5% bush land whereas we should have 15%, as bush land helps to keep water supply from running low, and also helps to prevent flows. There are also many beautiful wild flowers which are only found in the bush, our emblem, the trillium, for instance. Mr. Shearer strongly advocates re- forestation. Last year there were several hundred more trees planted than in previous years, showing a vast increase along that line. He also suggested the planting of shrubs and flowers which add greatly to the beauty of the surroundings. Beauti- ful scenery always attracts tourists which is a benefit to all. The re- stocking of creeks andrivers with fish was also mentioned. Mr. Shear- ers' address was very interesting and instructive and Mrs. N. W. Tre- warthe moved a very hearty vote of thanks to him, which was endorsed by all. Mrs, Oster, District Representative from Blyth was present and gave some remarks on Parliamentary Pro- cedure. The musical part of the program consisted of two vocal solos by Mrs. Cummings of Blyth, "Juan- ita", and "Silver- Threads Among the Gold", and a piano solo by Allis Lou Thompson, which was much enjoyed by ail. The hostesses were Mrs. A. Gudmore, Mrs. M. Crich, Mrs, J. Flynn, Mrs. H. Thompson. agricultural representative. Special speaker for the afternoon will be J. C. Merritt, of the forestry branch, Toronto, and for the evening W. P. Watson, of the livestock branch, On- tario department of agriculture. The project was organized by Mr. Shearer at the request of Mrs. Harold Taylor, Parkhill, director of U.F.W.O. in South Huron.

Scouts Celebrate Birthday of Founder Plan to Gather Waste Paper Last Friday evening marked an interesting event for • the scouting organizations of Clinton when over ninety Brownies, Cubs, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and Rover Scouts cele- brated the birthdays of Lard and Lady Baden-Powell. The beloved founder, who is not enjoying the best of health is now eighty-three years of age. From a small beginning scouting has spread to all countries cf the, world. Greed and colour are set aside) as all endeavor to follow out the principles of scouting. In Canada alone at the last census there were 100,000 scouts and cubs, not to men- tion the girls organizations. The birthday celebration was snent in games, stunts, and singing led by' Scoutmaster Sam Castle and was made complete with a lunch of send- wishes, Bookies and cocoa. A. steady increase in membership in the local organizations is noted under the. splendid sponsorship of the Lions Club. At present a company of Rang- ers is being formed. The scouts again wish to remind the citizens of Clinton to save waste paper. Over three tons of paper was gathered last fall and is still on hand. After the spring collection is made the lot will be sold, if the mar- ket is suitable, and the proceeds turn- ed over to patriotic purposes DRAMA GROUP INCREASES IN POPULARITY One -Act Plays Well Received An Important Meeting Monday night's council meeting„ which will commence at 7 o'clock, will be of more than ordinary interest. We understand several ;toms of impor- tance to every tax payer are to be brought up. These include the aud- itor's report which will no doubt have an important bearing on the tax rate struck for this year. Another matter to be deal with will be the appointment of an assessor and tax collector. It is hoped a large number of ratepayers will be present to lend their moral support to the men they have elected to conduct the town's; business. With some hesitation the executive of the Clinton Drama Group selected two one -act plays for the second presentation in a series of plays be- ing presented to raise money for Red Gross work. The remark has fre- quently quently been heard that one -act plays do not "take", but this was refuted decisively Friday evening. A capac- ity crowd filled the town hall and many flattering remarks have been heard since on the quality of the performances. The programme was well balanced.. The first play, "Nellie McNabb," was of the lighter variety dealing with a colunn on advice to the lovelorn. All characters in the play seek advice, and as might be expected, there are some interesting revelations before the play is concluded. The characters were Helen Stratford—Mrs. F. Ping - land; Ursula — Jeanette Taylor; Daphne Isobel Colquhoun; Lolly - Fraser Thompson; John Appleford— George McLay; Lottie — Vivian Knights. While the stage was being set for the second play, . "The Bishop's Candlesticks", the audience was en- tertained with solos by Mrs. B. Kearns and Miss Pearl Elliott, also tap dancing by Lloyd Fulford. Ac- companists were Mrs. Bert Boyes and Miss Ellen Charlesworth. Adapted from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" this second play held the audience and brought to light some previously unlmown dramatic talent. The leading pants of the bishop and convict were taken by Mr. E. Pater- son. and Dr. Geddes respectively and call for special mention. They were ably supported by Miss Dorothy Cor- less as Persone; Miss Evelyn Hall as Marie, John. Nediger as sergeant of gendarmes; Charles Johnson and John Levi's, gendarmes. Directors- of the plays were Mrs. A. H. O'Neil and. Miss Irene Abbott. To date a total of $231.83 has been received from sale of tickets and a second presentation of "Chintz Cot- tage" at Blyth. Expenditures to date total $22.94, leaving a balance of $208.89 on hand. A third play is: to be presented early in April and the presentation of a light .operetta. has also been suggested. Further an- nouncement will be made later, AMONG THE CHURCHES Baptist Church The sermon subject in the Baptist: Church on Sunday evening will be,.
