NORMAN'S "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for over Half a ' Century in Huron County" The Local Hockey Picture It begins to look as if the only team we willhave this winter will it Juvenileam be the team whichgave a splendid showing last winter, going right through to the finals, •only to be eliminated by Midland. The Juv- enile team has entered and we are sure fa have some, good hockey. The team is nearly all intact and should make• even a better showing this winter. As for the Colts it begins to look as if they will not have a team this winter. As yet there has been no action on part of the Colts, and if they are to have a team they win have to act quickly as the deadline for entering the 0.H,A. is on Wednes- day, Nov. 27th. The Colts have lost Kel. Streets, left winger and with Gociericin enter- ing a team it looks as if lack of play- ers will force the locals to drop out. Reports from Ceseeeth are to the effect that they would like some of the Colts to play hockey with them, rather than against them. Little Election l >< G s os i � E With municipal election day less than two weeks away there is very little election talk about the stree these days. Men who usually hacl an eat to the ground where municipal elections are concerned, had very little information to offer. And even a few prospective candidates for Council were unwilling to express a definite opinion as to whether they would qualify for the municipal race if nominated on Friday night. Candidates must be nominated be- tween 7.30 and 8.30 o'clock Friday evening at a nomination meeting in the Town Hall While citizens may not be certain whose names will appear on the elec- tion ballots, they are sure of at least two issues on which they will be asked to vote. One is a by-law ask- ing the people to express their opin- ions on the question of a two-year tern for council under authority of the Provincial Government Extension Act --a wartime measure, the other is the date on which the elections are to be held, AMONG THE CHfURCgES PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The induction service for Rev.

The New Eva Est. 1867 THE HOME PAPE Early Nominations I favorjoin • back to December g g nomination and January election. I think the ratepayers are interested and entitled to know how the year is closing up financially. At early nomination the Council is unable to tell whether they will close up with a surplus or an -over draft, As taxes are not due until after election if held in December and expenditures are not known until the last of De- cember, could the tax payer not vote more intelligently for a Council if they knew just how they were hand- ling the tax payers monies? Then as the personnel of Council does change, the retiring Council is in of- fice too long after election and they might adopt one of two policies, either the don't care attitude and let everything go in a slip -shod manner or put through some measures that would not be in keeping with views of tax payers. —A. J. McMURRAY.

This wild game was shot by Mr. George Carter of Londesboro about twenty miles -north of Parry Sound. Among the crowd were three air force boys from Port Albert and, although very much interested in the bear, we heard one remark, "We, best be getting 'one again if there are any more of these monsters running loose," and they fell into step and were off down the street.
