But really the increase in the price of ;your newspaper is justified owing to increased prices, of , newsprint; -and the two cents a copy never did cover the cost of produc- tion. The same conditions also affect the weekly newspapers of the Dominion. The weekly papers always' did pay more per ton for newsprint than the dailies—$10 in fact because the weeklies use flat paper and .the dailies :print from the rolls, And the $10 in- crease per ton that went into force, the first of the year added that much more to the cost of publication for' the weeklies: However, the price of The News- Record will remain at $1.50 in Canada and $2.00 in the States. Some of the weekly papers that have been receiv- ing $1.50 per, year are raising the price to $2.00, but for the time being we are not raising the $1.50 rate, We are however asking that all subscrip- tions be paid promptly in advance— and by that we mean within three months of the expiry date. Many pay promptly every year and to these we express OUT appreciation. We must insist that others in arrears .bring their subscription up to dateae soon as possible. Only by this method shall we be able to bear the increased costs of production and we hope to have the co-operation of our readers. Railway Employees Make, Presentation It was a pleasant surprise for Mr, and Mrs.' Joseph Addison when Wed- nesday evening a number of employ- ees of the Canadian National Rail- ways Maintenance and Way. Depart- ment called at their . home and pre- sented them with a set of occasional chairs, a beautifulplant, and for Mr. Addison's own enjoyment, a box of, cigars. Mr. Addison for the past ten years was foreman on this division andthree months ago was -obliged, be- cause of illness, to retire from, ac- tive work. A personal letter from J. Billo, Stratford, road boss of the Western Ontario division, who could not be 'present, was received. Those who co-operated in the pres- entation were employees of the Bruce and Clinton Divisionsof the C.N.R. A ,pleasant evening was spent in games and before the company' dis- persed the hostess and her daughters, Misses Gladys and Grace, served re- freshments. Mr. Addison before tak- ing over the Clinton division, was foreman of the Brucefield sectionof the line. COLTS SET BEAVERS BACK ON HEELS! The Clinton.. Colts strengthened their hold on first place on the Int. •B Group last Friday night when they took the Seaforth Beavers into camp, the score b eing 8-2. It was quite a shock to the Beavers and their sup- porters, but it proved decisively that the Colts are still the fastest team on skates in these• parts. After the close game in Seaforth, the Beavers seemed to get big ideas, especially after New Hamburg tied the Colts last week, but before the game progressed very far they must surely have felt. the superior strength of the Colts. The largest crowd this year was on hand to see what turned out to be the worst exhibition of hockey this season. Shortly after the first period started Doug. Kennedy circled the Seaforth net to pick up a. loose puck and slam it past McGee. A few min- utes later Seaforth tied the scare when G. Hildebrand put one by Doak. This stirred things up, and for about ten minutes the fans got their mon- ey's worth as both teams opened up. The Beavers suffered from these wide- open tactics as the Colts immediately got their plays clicking to run in three fast goals and go into a commanding 4-1 lead, which was never threatened. McKay and Pickett scored Clinton's second goal, McKay scoring. Then Pickett scored when he picked up a loose puck. R. McEwan, Foster and Rath combined for Clinton's fourth goal, McEwan scoring. Realizing that wide-open tactics were their downfall, Seaforth threw down a barrage of checks for the entire second period, and it appeared. they were going to be content with holding down the score as much as possible. The result was 20 minutes of disgusting hockey with no goals scored. As the third period got under way Clinton took command again. Pickett worked in On a solo for a beautiful goal. Then "Bonnie" Foster got one. Seaforth got their second goal when A. Hildebrand scored. "Bonnie" Fos- ter scored No. 7 on a pass from R. McEwan. Frank McEwan and Foster combined for the last one, McEwan scoring. Clinton—Goal, Doak; defence, Mc- Kay, Rath; centre, R. Mcgwan; wings, Foster, F.

Another exhibition game with the Stratford Majors is scheduled for to- morrow night, and on Tuesday night the Colts will have as their opposition in the league games the St. Marys' team. Speaking of the . game there two weeks ago, Ron Laidlaw, sports writer, has this to say: "Fans saw the cleanest and by far the best game. of the season when Clinton Intermedi- ates "defeated the local squad 5-2. The whole game was very fast and clean and the best brand of combina- tion hockey was to be seen." Here is something else to think about, but of a different nature. The Tavistock. Gazette has this to says "Another thing that gets us down is the "booing" of crowds,' a practice that is becoming disgustingly com- mon in so-called sport circles. We grant you there are occasions when a demonstration of this kind may not be out of place; far example when. a player commits a deliberate foul and injures an opposing player. But just because the visiting team has the edge of play over the home team there 'is no good reason, why they should be given the "Bronx cheer" by a section of the home crowd. Those roars have but oneplace: the barn- yard." Send In Your News There has never been a newspaper printed that satisfied everybody, But there is a very simple method by which better newspapers can be pro- duced and that is for those who sub- scribe to them to take an individual interest in seeing that they get more local and personal news. If you have visitors or if you have been 011 a visit, send or phone the informa- tion to your hone -town paper. Every little item of a local or personal na- ture helps that much to make _a still better newspaper. That is how you can help make your newspaper more interesting, and you are invited to start doing so at once. THE HOME PAPER: Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.

The building has been purchased by Mr. Launce Lavis, who has workmen en- gaged in demolishing what has long been an eyesore. It has been generally rumoured a- round town that Mr. Charles E. El- liott had purchased the lumber and lot, and was intending to erect a small pasteurizing plant there in or- der to pasteurize his own milk and that of the other dairies in town. The rumour however is not correct.

Latest reports are that the horse and cutter have been located in Hay Township. Noble Holland, owner of the High- way Fox Farm, had a long search before locating his .car which' was, taken sometime on Thursday night. Due to the fact that his roadway, like many others, is deep with snow, he had been in the habit of leaving the car at the road gate: The mis- sing vehicle was located later in the day in a snowbank near Goderich.
