W. 0. 5. S. A. HOCKEY "B" CHAMPIONSHIP COMES TO C.C.I. Hanover Routed 39-7 On Round Hanover High School W.O.S.S.A. team, last year's titleholders, were no match for the fast -stepping G.C.I. squad in the race for top honours. In the first game the score was 15-6 and Thursday's return game score was 24-3 for the locals. According to the Hanover scribe the team was weakened through sickness and in- jurich, but they were good sports and fought gamely right up to the final bell. In goal, House Loeprich did a nice job and it was no fault of his the score piled up consistently. Lahn on defence and Kranip at right wing were the most effective for the visit- ors. For the locals it was team- work and not individual effort which counted. Every man played a good game and it was only when the de- fence loosened up. that Hanover were able to ram home their three count- ers. Hawkins had several hard ones to handle, more from Kramp's efforts than any other player. Leading the scoring parade were Harry MeEwan and Rolfe Monteith, each with eight goals to their credit, Doug. Bartliff and Ken. Colquhoun each rapped home tinree, and Pass- more accounted for the other two. Hanover's goals were scored by Pat- terson and Kransp.

JUVENILE'S ( HEADED FOR MAPLE LEAF GARDENS? TONIGHT'S GAME WILL TELL The Clinton. Juveniles have a slim margin of one goal over their St. Thomas opponents to carry into to- night's return game to decide which team will go into the finals. Port Perry have eliminated Campbellford; Midland and Thorold are playing off. Although we cannot get anything of- ficial it is said. the final game will be played in Maple Leaf Gardens. and: maybe the Clinton boys won't be try - hard for that! Monday nig'ht's game was the toughest they have had and they have every respect for the power of the Saints. Although at one stage of the game the local squad had the Saints 5-2 they had to be content with a 5-4 verdict at the end of the game. From the start the Saints opened up the game and peppered shots at Carter from all angles, but were un- able to score until Ron. Hepburn banged home his own rebound and made it 1-0. Close to the end of the period Ken. Colquhoun made one of his lone rushes and slapped home the tying counter. The period ended with the game all tied. up. Coining out early in the second Slotta of the Saints sent his team into the lead and then Izzie Powell accounted for the tying counter. McEwen, Counter and Powell added three more to make it 5-2 before the period envied. St. Thomas whittled away persistently in the final frame, Tlepliticn getting his second goal of the game and Davey Smith putting his team within ty- ing distance again on a lone effort. Neither team could score however before the game ended. Judging by that record it appears the locals will have their hands full for tonight's battle. Both teams will lie fighting for that final berth and we predict a good game.

The Clinton Lions Club second an- nual dance held Monday evening was well attended despite adverse weath- er and road conditions. Willis Tip- ping and his orchestra from Kitchen- er battled snowdrifts most of the way and were'eonsequently late in arriv- ing. In the interval however a local machine was used, and to make up for lost time the orchestra carried on until the early hours. The spacious town hall was attrac- tively decorated for the occasion in. true Easter style. Two' huge white rabbits flanked the stage, centred by a picture of His Majesty and the Lions Crest. Coloured streamers of yellow and mauve, the club's colours, 'were suspended from the chandelier and used around the walls, inter- spersed with Easter rabbits and chicks. The committee under chairman L. Brown, responsible for the function included Lions W. Ball, R. P. Doug- las, J. Read, J. C. Shearer.' Novelty and spot dances were features of the evening and favors were freely dis- tributed in the form of horns, bal- loons and other novelties. The lunch committee included Mrs. F. 0. Ford, Mrs. H. M. Monteith, Mrs. R. P. Douglas and Mrs. H. 0. Lawson. Thomas. rink. EIGHT CARS INVOLVED( IN TRAFFIC MIX-UP F. FINGLAND HAS LEG BROKEN The Lions Juveniles hockey team bound for St. Thomas last Saturday afternoon were in the heart of a traffic jam that damaged oars ex- tensively and sent F. Fingland K.C. to Clinton hospital with a broken leg. The accident occurred opposite the farm of Roy Pluirsteel, on the Lon- don Road and was the outcome of -a previous accident involving three cars, from Exeter, London and Her - sail respectively. The first two had been involved in a collision and the third had plowed into them so that the road was blocked at this point. Cars driven by H. C. Lawson, E. A. Fines and F. Fingland were first at the scene and had to come to a halt, Mr. Fingland getting out of his car to signal the others following, driven by Lorne Brown and A. Garon. Driv- ing snow at the time made visibility very poor and Brown had swung his Can.' sharply to the left side into the snowbank to avoid colliding• with, the Fingland car. Garon following was compelled to try to swing his car between the two. In doing so his bumper caught the standing car, swinging it sideways, and Mr. Fing- land was trapped between the two bumpers: After being released he was rush- ed to Clinton hospital and early re- ports were that the limb would have to be amputated. Fortunately how- ever 'this was not necessary, al - thought the leg was badly broken and bruised. Another casualty of the crash was Elmer Colquhoun, a pas- senger in the Garon car, who was pitched forward against the dash, receiving minor injuries. A carload of fans who left earlier did not learn of the accident until they arrived in London, getting thei. information after phoning the St. Mackenzie Kin Premier -Elect M e g In no uncertain terms the people of Canada expressed their confidence in the administration of the King government at the polls on Tuesday. The Liberal'landslide, achieving even greater proportion than that of 1935 when it returned Mr. King and his followers to power over the Bennett Conservative government, brought stunning defeat to the new Conserv- ative Leader, Hon. R. J. Manion, whose proposed National Government was rejected. Party standing based on civilian vote: Tuesday's Dissolu- Vote tion Liberal 174 169 National Govermmnent 38 38 C. C.

MacPherson, runner-up to Dr. Manion for the Conservative leadership in 1938, in Regina. Among the successful National Government candidates were Hon. R. B. Hanson, former minister of trade and commerce, in York -Sudbury, and Dr. Herbert A. Bruce, former lieut- enant -governor of Ontario, in Tor- onto Parkd'ale. As notable a conquest as any in the country was accomplished by W. E. Harris, Liberal, in Grey -Bruce where Miss Agnes Macphail was de- feated for the first time since she be- came member of parliament in 1921. Miss Macphail, after five election triumphs, ran third in a three -corn- ered contest. Election of candidates was conced- ed on the basis of the civilian vote but the possibility existed that when the ballots of between 85,000 and 90,- 000 soldiers, sailors and air -men are wanted on April 2nd, results in a few contituencies might be changed. Lewis E. Cardiff polled all unof- ficial vote of 5,938 votes against Mr. Deachman's• 5,8$1. Majorities for the victor were as follows: Clinton, 69; Blyth, 23; Wing - ham, .137; Goderich, 49; Morris, 87; Goderich township, 192, and Brus- sels, 70—"the first time in the rid- ing's history that Brussels has ever given a Conservative majority"—to use Mr. Cardiff's own words during the course of his victory parade ad- dress in Wingham. Mr. Deachman made gains eve his opponent in the other places as fel- ' laws: Ashfield, 74; Colborne, 46; Grey, 139; HOwick, 128; West Wawa- nosh, 44, and Turnbery, 39, Cardiff Defeats Deachmari NNW The Farmers' Market Wheat 80c.

CLINTON SPRING FAIR POSTPONED UNTIL APRIL 25th SEAFORTH ALSO CHANGED Directors of the Huron Central Agricultural Society met yesterday afternoon at the Agricultural Office to decide whether or not the date set for the anual Spring Show should be changed. Meeting with them were representatives from Seaforth. The outcome of their joint debate was that in each case dates have been changed. The 'Clinton Show will be held Thursday, April 25th. Seaforth's Show will be held two days earlier, April 23rd. In all likelihood Hensall will also fall in line and change their date to April 27th although repres- sentatives were not at the meeting. For the 'past two weeks the prob- lem of whether to go ahead as orig- inally advertised or postpone until a later date has been the greatest problem officials have had to. face. Continued snowfalls have not only tied up transportation in country districts but have made it fairly certain that the main street could not be brought into the shape it should be for his high-class show and the decision of directors to postpone the event until a later date will meet with all-round. approval.
