N.R. agent here since March, 1935, d oc- curred at his home on Thur r; a Y, De- cember 30th. He had not been in good health for some time, and had been confined to his home for the past four weeks: Born at Cargill in 1885, he was in his 53rd year and was a son of John Clancy, Walkerton, and the late Mrs. Clancy. In 1917 he was united in marriage.: 'to Marion Frank, who sur- vives. There also survive, his father, one brother, J. J. Clancy, Postmaster at Southampton; three sons, John, James and Frank, andone daughter, Mary, at home. Mr. Clancy, had been .engaged in railroad wdrk for the past 35 years, and had been stationed: in Walkerton, Preston and for the nest two years here in 'Clinton where he made many friends. He had taken an active part in municipal life and had served terms as councillor at both Walkerton and Preston. He was an active worker in the local Lions Club and was affiliat- ed with the Knights of Columbus. The funeral service was held in. the. R.C. Church of Our Lady, Guelph, on Monday recasting, following which in- terment 'took place in Calvary ceme- tery. The, Juniors seem to - have gotten away on the wrong foot this year. After taking a 9 to 0 shellacking in •Stratford a week ago, they again tried their luck in New Hamburg on Mon- day night, but again met defeat to the tune of 6. to 2. Scoring five 'goals in the second period of the game New Ha» sburg last about sewed the game upright there. This period was the only one In which' either team was able to do any great scoring. New Hamburg dented the twine five times while Clinton scored their only two goals •of the game in that period. The third period MIS scoreless. Kittle opened the scoring for New Hamburg in the first period when he took Grimes and Ruby's pass for the tally after one minute and 35 seconds of play. • The Kaufman. brothers' second line proved a valuable asset to New Ham- burg before the night was over. In that second period the Kaufman's were responsible for two goals in sue - cession and one of them engineered the play that scored a third goal. Ches. Neilans. and R. Finch were the goalgetters for the local kids. Clinton—Goal, Clarence Neilans defense, Fairservice, Finch; centre Elliott; wines, Chester Neilans, Dra- per; subs. Fischer, D. Riley, W.

Huron County's Agricultur- al Representative Had a gentleman not come along in the spring of 1929 and offered Ian MacLeod a job as assistant agricul- tural representative of Huron Coun- ty the chances are Mr. Lod to- day would be running a dairy fgrm down in Glengarry County in Eastern Ontario. As it turned . out, however, he carne to Clinton on. June 1, 1929, three days after his graduation from Guelph 0. A. C.. He has been there ever since. Only now he is the agricultural representative. Not the assistant. Mr. MacLeod is a Scot and one does not have to corner him to make him admit it. Everybody who comes from Glengarry, he says, is Scots, although, since he moved away quite a few French folk have moved in. He can't 'particularly as - count for that. Right In His Blood Mr. MacLeod is agricultural re representative of. Huron County—and a cracking 'good one at that -purely by accident. Not until a few weeks before his . graduation from 0. A. C. did he have any idea that he would be anything else but a farmer. Born and reared on a Glengarry County farm, the business of farming' was. right in his blood. He was milking the cows and feeding the pigs , when he was knee high to a grasshopper and he kept right ,on doing it until he left, home in 1924 to enter the Kemptville Agricultural School. He ,studied there for two years and took lectures from none other than Pat- rick Michael Dewan, now the Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ontario's new Minister of Ags•icultui•e. Mr. Dewan was on. the staff of the Kemptville school at that time but left in 1926 to take over the management of the Oxford Farmers' Co-operative at Woodstock. In the fall of 1926 1Vir. MacLeod en- tered upon a four-year course at the Guelph O.A.C.'and counted among his classmates C., D. Graham, former ag- ricultural representative for Perth. It was along about graduation time in the spring of 1929 when the gen- tleman, mentioned at the outset, came along and offered him the post of as- sistant • agricultural representative for Huron County. Here, reflected Mr. MacLeod, was an opportunity to get sone more valuable training be- fore he went into the serious busi- ness of forming himself. Thus de- cided, he accepted the job and on June 1 of that year, just three days after he got his ciipTon)a, he landed . in Clinton. One year later, to the very day, he succeeded G. A. McCague, as. agricultural representative for the county. Mr. MacLeod is popular with Hur- on County. farmers and he was suf- ficiently popular with a .charming Clinton girl that she took him as her husband .in July of 1933. His wife was' the former .Miss Grace Evans and they are now the parents of two lovely children, Catherine Ann, aged three, and Donald Ian, a strapping young fellow of 12 months. Then He Gave Up Golf At collegiate and college, Mr. Mac- Leod played soccer football and bas- ketball. Those were his two major sports, but following graduation he took to golf. He was doing nicely at this and was shooting in the nine- ties. Then came his marriage, and since then, as Mr. MacLeod puts it, he has "neither the time nor the mon- ey." Mr. MacLeod is a Presbyterian and is a member of the Board of tllanagers of ' Clinton Presbyterian Church, He is Inner Guard of Clin- ton Masonic Lodge and chairman of `he Membership Committee of the Clinton Lions Club, His hobby is. reading—chiefly fiction. Mr. MacLeod's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. J. MacLeod, , still farm in Glengarry County. His father oper- ates a large dairy farm in spite of his 70 years. A brother, Norman, al- so operates a Glengarry farm, and a sister, Mrs. L, A. Stewart, is a farm- er's wife at Dunvegan, Ont, Tticicersnnth side o . many years without any salary.

Mr, Moyle left all his $16,984 estate to charity, after pro- viding that his sister, Ellen Moyle, of Kerwood, be given an income dttr= ing her lifetime, it was revealed when the will was filed 'for probate in Mid- dlesex Surrogate • Court. All the money after the necessary expenses have been met goes to various bodes of the Anglican Church. Huron Col- lege receives most of it. CONSTAN Cis. Mrs. E. J.

Mr. Rogers was the son of the late William. Rogers of Fullerton where he was born in August, 186G. For the past fifteen years he had resided in Seaforth where he was well and fav- ourably known. He leaves to mourn his passing his widow, formerly Miss Eva Brown, al- so' five sisters and one brother; Mrs. John Sanders and`Mrs. Joseph Ridge, of Fullerton, Mrs. George Fairies, Lucan, Mrs. Manic' Nethercott, To- ronto, Mrs. William T. Brown, Mit- chell, and Rev, J. G._ Rogers, Toronto, also several nieces and nephews. The funeral tgok place from his late residence, James street, on Mon- day afternoon, and was conducted by Rev, T. A. Caxanichael, B,D:, pastor of Northside United Church, of which the deceased was an active member. The pallbearers were: Messrs. R. Scarlett. Louis Haeey, H. Dale, A. W. Dunlop, George Lilley and Frank Smale: Interment was made in Mait- land Bank Cemetery, 'Seaforth. year." This motion did not, prevail for it was felt to be impracticable to regu- late the past proceedings of any legi- slative body. A.deadlocic resulted and not a single motion passed the board, although 20 were moved and second- ed. The meeting defeated a nation to adjourn and members just de- parted. There was no meeting from that time till Dr. Woods was re-el- ected deputy -reeve at the'next meet- ing, however. ' The township gave a bonus of $10,- 000 to the L. H. & B. Railway and issued debentures' to this amount to aid in construction. • The council made substantial improvements to Bayfield harbor, built a hall at Varna and made many improvements to roads and bridges, se between Granton and Clnitorg.;past, present or future proceedings' of -By Harry J: Boyle in London Ftee and the°interior of sthe ,townsship,, the council for the present current Press:' " ,4'13re i, W.E.
