It was the first win this season for the local kids and on the play Clinton could have won by a wider margin. Lenard, in the Wingham nets, was the stumbling block. He played a great game, es - specially in the last period when the play was practically all inside the Wingham blue -line. The first period saw Wingham take a two -goal lead and the locals didn't look so hot. Richardson and Raye were the goalgetters for. Wingham. Clinton came to life in the second period and before the period was over the score was tied up. Bob Dra- per and "Stew" Schoenhals scored the goals within half a minute of each other. Two more goals in the last period put Clinton in the driver's seat. Stan. Kennedy scored first on a nice drive from the right boards. • Bruce Riley got the last one. The final score, 4-2. After the first period Clarence Neil- ans was put on the defence and Jack Butler took his place in the nets. This arrangement seemed to work well. Clarence should make a good de- fence . than and Butler played fairly well in the nets, Clinton—Goal, Neilans; defence, Fairservice, Fisher; Centre, Riley, Wings, Draper, Schoenhals; subs, W.

SHOULD SHUT UP OR MOVE OUT Any individual who doesn't like his town and who keeps abusing its'citi- zons whenever an opportunity affords, and with such a person there appears to be lots of opportunities, . would be better off if he were to pack his bag- gage and prove to more congenial sru•- !•oundings. For such a man is .out of his element among people he doesn't like and he doesn't make life for him- self any easier by his carping criti- cism, much of which is absolutely un• necessary and utterly uncalled for. It takes all kinds of people to make a world or a town and within. the borders of every town are folks who are good and folks who are bad, many parsons no one would like and yet probably not one that anyone could. decently hate.
