" CLINTON'S LEADING STYLEOPP'E " 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.

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 the goal. Bill 'Counter then took a pass from Kenny Colgnhoun for No. 7, and Bob Campbellfinished things. 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 pass from Cameron. Finch and Robison started to rough it in, the comer. Doak then seored on a pass from Robison.

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.

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 placed in a. caste for safe keeninn• which had become hardened with ace. the effects of air and weather hail loosened the precious contents, thus Rath -Andrews Miss Amy Imogene (Gene) Ani.
