RALPH MCCREATH STILL
TOPS IN FIGURE SKATING
Retains Singles Championship at
Montreal and with Partner Wins
Pair Championship for Sixth Year
Ralph McCreath, Toronto Skating
Club, won the Canadian figure skat-
ing championship at Montreal on Sat-
urday last and teamed up with a new
partner, the glalnoroop Eleanor
O'lMIeara, to take the Hair champion-
ship of Canada for the sixth consecu-
tive year. Ralph's former partner,
Norah McCarthy, was dethroned as
Canadian champion, being beaten by
Mary Rose Thacker of the Winnipeg
Winter Club. According to press re-
ports, Ralph won with great ease in
the singles competition, but in the
pairs, with very keen competition, he
had the misfortune to jump into the
end of the rink doing his Axel Peel-.
son in the first thirty seconds of
their program. He was "out on his
feet" for the following minute and a
half, but in spite of this he and itis
partner were able to take the title.
The North American championships
, are being held in Philadelphia this
week and apparently. the competition
is between Eugene Turnor of Los
Angeles and Ralph, who will be rep-
resenting Canada in the competition.
In comtnnenting on the champion-
ships, The'Montreai Star had. the fol-
lowing to , say: "The McCreath -

thank all those who have contributed
to the success of the ingenue ion.
To date the society has presented
signet t•mgs, also sent
parcels on two occasions to the three
boys who are already overseas, viz.
Bob. Dah•ymple, Jinn. Burdge and
Ross Grainger. In this connection
special thanks is extended to the
ladies who did such a splendid job of
packing the boxes, also for the con-
tributions of home-made candy, etc.
It is very gratifying to know that
the boys greatly appreciated these
boxes, It is felt that in the
near future there may be many,
many more of our boys going over-
seas, which will mean an added strain
on our finances and it is the hope of
the society to be able to continue
this worthwhile work, which of
course will only be possible through
the support of interested friends in
our community. Those who wisli to
contribute will find subscription lists
in the following places: Post Office,
Brucefield, Berry's and McCully"s
Stores.

CNR attempt to Discontinue Service
i John 13. Delly of Goderich is watch-
, ing with particular interest the appli-
cation of the Canadian National Rail-
ways to close its branch line from
Clinton to Wingham. Veteran public ,
utilities superintendent, Kelly was a
passenger on the first train of the
i old "London, Huron and Bruce', then
owned by the Great Western.
It was a great day, back in 1875
;for young John B., whose father, the I-IOLMESVILLE
'late Patrick Kelly, perennial reeve
of Blyth, was a moving spirit in the
promotion of the railway.
"Sure, she was a wood -burner and
after a record of 18 miles an hour
from Wingham to London, we all at-
tended a banquet at the Grigg House
in London," John related.
One of the reasons for building the
,railway was to provide transportae
tion for firewood and tan bark to
London. Nearly all those interested
financially owned large bush lots
along the line of the railway in
Iluron County, said Mr. Kelly, ac1c1-
itng with a twinkle in his eye, "My
father had 400 acres of bush."
The CNR claims it is losing nearly
$10,000 yearly on this Iine which, it
points out, is paralleled by No. 4
Highway on which now ply Grey
Coach buses and a fleet of transport
trucks adequate to handle freight
Red Cross News
The report of the Varna Red Cross
Society for the past month. Shipped
to headquarters: 5 dresses, 6 quilts,
1 pair of pillow covers, 43 pair of
socks, 9. pair of mitts, 1 pair gloves,,
1 sweater. Some of the ladies that
cannot get to the hall to work each
week have been making quilts at
home and donating them to the Red.
Cross. This assitance is much ap.-
preciated by the society; are there
others that could help in this way?
The February meeting of the
Varna W.M.S. was held in the church
with eleven members present. The
opening hymn was "Forth on thy
Name, 0 Lord we go." Mrs. Ralph
Stephenson led in prayer. Roll call
was answered with words, Onward or
Forward. Text word for March to be
victory. Mrs. S, Keyes and Mrs.
Peters were nppointed to discuss with
the Anglicans, the Day of Prayer.
A letter was read advising us that
our allocation was 8132, the same as
last year. Circulars about War Sav-
ing Stamps and Temperance Pledges
were read. These were left over for
further discussion. Several quilt
blocks were brought in, Mrs. Lee
McConnell took charge of the meet-
ing for her group. We sang one verse
of "Forward be our Watchword" and
Mrs. David Stephenson led in prayer.
The scripture lesson was from Luke
11:1-17, Mrs. David Stephenson, Mrs.
W. Johnston and Mrs. Fred Reid each
read about Miss Maud MacKinnon's
work in Korea, Mrs. Lee McConnell
read about Miss Maria Kim, a native
of Korea. "0 Lord and Master of
us all" was then sung. Meeting closed
with National Anthem and prayer.
The members of the Cheerio Club
of Varna are pleased to announce
that they had the sum of 825.00 to
send to the British War Victims
Fund. The Club wishes to thank all
who helped make this British War
Victim's Fund dance a success, also
those onto handed in their contribu-
tion since and hopes that it will re-
ceive the support of the community
in any war efforts it might under-
take in the future,

The Maitland concession was the
scene of an accident on Tuesday af-
ternoon, when two teams of horses
collided, Mr. Melville Gliddon, who
is a reliable trucker had to abandon
his truck, on account of the deep
snow and borrow Les. Jervis' team
to draw his wood, hone. He had
finished his work and was in the
village on the way home with the
team. He got out of the sleigh and
set the lines down while he did an
errand and when he turned back to
get in -Lo and Behold! this spirited
team had gone galloping• down the
road toward home without hinm. Al.
though one of the team is thirty-
four years old it seemed to enjoy
the race as well as the three-year-
old. They had almost reached their
goal and would have arrived without
mishap but that Norman Trewartha,
corning from the opposite direction,
with a load of wood saw the horses
corning at full speed so jumped off
his sleigh and ran ahead of his team
to stop the other horses but they
ignored him and he had to jump
aside and let thein. pass. They ran
head on into Norman's team, throw-
ing one to the ground. Although
none of the horses were hurt, nnnch
of the harness was broken and
though Me, Glidden was once rated
as a competent teamster: his neigh-
bors advise him in the future when
using horses to take his eleven -year-
old son, Eldie along to drive them.
The W.M.S. and W.A. was held at
the home of Mrs, Walters. The W.
