HOWLING NOTES
Two or three more nights of ac-
tion will decide the four teams to be
in the play-offs of the bowling tour-
nament. The games of the past week
have done nothing but tighten things
up, and any team, with the exception
of the Lions, might find themselves
left in the lurch unless, they go in
and do some mighty fine bowling in
the next week.
On Thursday night last the Wear -
weals and Lions met, and the result
was two to one for Wearwell. The
Knitters needed the win badly to
keep them up in the' running. The
scare by games was: Wearwell, 1106,
1025, 943; Lions, 850, 990, 994. Indi-

TAVISTOCK QUALIFY
TO MEET COLTS
Greenshirts Eliminate Seaforth
13 To 9 On the. Round
Play -Off Dates Set For
Friday and Tuesday Nights
Well the stage is all set for the
group play-offs, and as expected for
some time, Tavistock and Clinton are
the two teams to have the honor.
The Seaforth Beavers sprung quite
a surprise when on Monday night
they handed the Greenshirted Tavi-
stoek'boys a 4 to 2 beating in Sea -
forth. Their two goal lead looked
very good to carry back to Tayistoek
but it fell considerable short of being
enough as the Greenshirts turned it
on last night in the second game,
and trounced the Beavers 11 to 5,
winning the round 18 to 9 and qual-
ifying for the right to meet the Colts
in the group finals.
The playoff dates have been set for
tomorrow night, in Tavistock, and
back here on Tuesday night, Goals
will count on the round.
The playoffs should be one of the
tightest the Colts have been in for a
long time. The Tavistock boys are
good, and should give the Colts a
real run for the money.
It will be exactly two weeks tomor-
row night since the Colts had a game,
and the setting tomorrow night will
be exactly the same as it was two
weeks ago, in Tavistock arena.
Whether the two week's layoff has
done more harm than good remains to
be seen. It may have given some of;
the injured players a chance to get
suppled up again, but on the whole
it may not have done the team any
good.
Juvenile Hockey
Fans, who had note
sen the local
Juvenile hockey team in action, re-
ceived an agreeable surprise at the
local arena on. Tuesday night, when
the local squad out -played and decis-
ively whipped their Seaforth rivals
to the tune of 8 to 0. It was the se-
cond game for the locals, although
most of them see action several
times a week in the Lions League.
They now have two wins under their
belt against no defeats, having pre-
viously beaten Mitchell by the close
score of 3-2.
The brand of hockey dished up by
the kids was a treat to watch. The
forward lines pass the puck like vet-
erans and back -check well, and tak-
ing their ages into consideration,
the average
being about fourteen,
they cover the ice ata very creditable
speed.
Clinton had the edge in play as
well as goals. all the way, outscoring
their rivals 2 to 0 inthe open-
ing period, adding 3 more in the se-
cond, and finishing strong with 3
more in the final frame.
Monteith opened the scoring in the
first period when he broke through
the Seaforth defence and flipped the
rubber past the'Seaforth goalie. "Iz-
zie" Powell made it 2.0 from a scram-
ble in front of the net before the per-
iod ended.
R. Monteith and Powell teamed
up far Clinton's third goal in the se-
cend period, Powell passing to Mon-
teith who got his second goal of .the
game. "Izzie" .them took things in
his ownhands and scored unassisted
on a play similar to- his first effort,
from a scramble in front of the net.
Seaforth was a man short at the time.
Kenny C'olquhaun scored Clinton's
fifth counter with a nice backhand
shot to end the scoring in the second
period.
Harry Mc1'wan teamed up with
Powell and McKenzie for the opening
goal of the last Period. McEwangot

pass from Kenny Colgnhoun for No.

up when he • shot from the corner, the
puck hitting the Seaforth goalies stick
and bounced into the net behind •him,
making the final score 8 to 0.
Any scoring opportunities the Sea -
forth kids had were frustrated by
the coolnet-minding of Dave John-
ston in the Clinton' nets„whahandled.
everything directed at him with ease.
Girl's Hockey
The Goderich girls again defeated
the Clinton. girls in a fast and thril-
ling game last Saturday afternoon at
the local rink. The score was 4-3.
Doak opened' the scoring on a pass
from Westbrook. Doak made it 2-0
on a solo effort, Westbrook, scored
on a pass from Johnston. Finch got
the first Clinton goal on a peas from
Cameron. Finch scored again on, a

Lions Club Meeting •
Regular g ar meeting of the Clinton
Lions was held on Monday evening,
February 14th, in the Parish Hall of
St. • Paul's Church. About thirty
members were present. Minutes of
last meeting and executive meeting
were read and adopted. The quartet
who received such kind applause for
their rendering of "Home, Home oh
the Range", at the last meeting were
called again. They tried a new num-
ber—result, rather cuttish reception
—loud boos. The quartet finds, as
so many great performers have, that
one's public cannot be triflted with.
Two new members, Lions Lorne
Brown and G. N. Davis, were admit-
ted to the club. The Lions Code of
Ethics was read to them, and their
buttons presented. The Lions Code
of Ethics 'is what every good Lion
tries to follow.
The President gave a summary of
financial standing of the activity
committees. There erre eight com-
mittees appointed for. Child Welfare,
Community Bettornient and Child
Training, besides these there are
eight administrative committees 're-
sponsible for meetings, membership,
etc. The Activity Committees raise
the funds- for their work and spend
same. The Administrative Commit-
tees spends our fees, the cost to each
Member of a Lions club is approxi-
mately $24 per year.
The speaker for the evening was
.Lion San MacLeod. He spoke on, his
work with Senior and Junior farriers
of Huron. One. very interesting part
of his speech was the standing of Ag-
riculture in Huron County compared
with other counties of Ontario. Ac-
cordingto
statistics Huron County
leads alt others in swine and poultry
production. In 1936 Huron County
produced approximately 71/4 million
dollars of grain products. These
figures are certainly much higher
than any of us realized..
Lion John Mustard moved a hearty
vote of thanks to the speaker for his
splendid and informative talk.
Meeting closed with Lions roar.

Bible Class Officers To Be
Elected Next Week
The formation of an interdenomin-
ational Bible Class for young men
has met with splendid cooperation
from the young men in Clinton. Two
meetings have been held to date, and
the attendance and enthusiasm shown
has been most encouraging to the
leaders of this worthwhile organiza-
tion. ' It had been planned to hold
the election of officers last Sunday,
but due to the inclemency of the
weather the attendance was not as
large, although twenty-one braved
the elements and were rewarded by
a splendid meeting. The election
will be held this week.
For the occasion Mr. George El-
liott had been chosen as the special
speaker. He gave an interesting
talk, dealing with various places he
had visited during his travels. The
study period was conducted` by D. H.
McInnes.
It is hoped. there will be a large
turnout at the meeting on Sunday:
This will be an important meeting
and a special speaker will be present.
Has 'Fine Collection Of
r Old Coins
W1rile in the office the other day
Mr. John Walton showed us some
samples from his collection of old
coins, and apart from the rarity of
the samples shown to us, the history
of how they came into his possession
proved very' interesting, •
Mr. Walton's home was in Bedford-
shire, England and was situated on a
hill which at one-time was a Roman
encampment. As -a boy he had a hab-
it of rummaging around as boys will,
and dug up part of the collection now
in his possession, It is true same
of them are badly mutilated so that
they are of little value to collectors,
but others are of great value. One
coin he has is worth $50.00, and oth-
er's are scaled according to their liar -
He related how one man had picked
up, a small fortune not knowing it to
be' of value. While walking with his
son the man allied a round stone
which he gave to the boy to roll•
Through rough usage the stone broke
in two and out rolled what he thought
were old buttons from a soldier's -tun-
ic. They actually turned out to be
gold coins of Very ancient :vintage,
and were needed .,to complete a col-
lection for museum. purposes. This
roan received 1000 pounds for his
find. The coins had apparently beer
