IRWIN!S " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE Study Group Formed To Combat Communism A meeting of more than ordinary y significance, took place in St, Jos- eph's Hall on Sunday, February 20th, when the Diocesan director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Rev, T. Maloney, M.A., visited Clin- ton for the purpose of inaugurating locally the world-wide movement launched more than a year ago by His. Holiness, Pope Pius XI. Practically every member of St. Joseph's parish was present and thrilled to the mes- sage of the eloquent young cleric who for more than an hour outlined the necessity, the purpose and the policy, of this movement which aimed to fight and destroy one thing and one thing alone—Communism. "I bring you", he said, "a pleading message from the venerable representative of Jesus Christ, Pius XI, who with that clarity of vision and universal under- standing that comes to no other man on earth, looks out from his lofty eminence which commands a view equal to the surface of the earth, and co=extensive with the Christian' era, and sees a greater and more univer- sal menace to Christian Faith and ideals to -day, then ever engaged the attention of any of his predecessors back to Peter." The speaker did not pull his punches in exposing and at- taehing the cowardly and insidious tactics which the proponents of the gospel of Communism, employed to deceive the masses whose knowledge of the gospel of Christ was inade- quate to present-day requirements. "Knowledge is 'power" the director pointed out," and the aim of the Con- fraternity is to supply that power in super -abundance. The policy of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is to establish well organized study or discussion clubs in small groups of from eight to twelve persons. Eight of those clubs are already farmed as al result of Iasi; Sunday's meeting, and, ei4her writs will be formed as occas -e ion requires. The following chairman or leaders were selected for the var Sousrou s�ithe parish; Mrs.J. g p n Becker, Miss Margaret Carbert, Mr. Jack Clancy, Miss Tena Flynn, Mr. Anthony Garton, Mr. Fred Lefeau, Miss Agnes Reynolds and Mr. A. Shannaltan. The groups will meet once a week with specified subjects for study and discussion. Londesboro Boy Captures Shield In Contest Taking as his subject, "The Flood Situation in Ontario," Melvin Bruns- don, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bruns - don, Londesbore, won first place in the Oratorical Contest held at the Collegiate Institute on Friday after- noon and was the winner of the school shield awarded at this event which was sponsored by the C.C.I. Literary Society. ✓ Others in the contest were Ivan ,Ter - vis speaking on the subject of Ulys- ses,the historical Greek hero; Donald Gibbs, on the • subject of Helen ICel- ler, and Lloyd Pulford ' on Oil. " The judges were Mrs. F. Fingland and Rev. G. Peddie. Melvin also received a silver trophy for permanent possession, in addition to the shield, to retain for one year. Stolen Gun Turns Up After Five Years The old story that murder will out was brought home last week when a young man called at the. Epps Sport Shop with the view of trading in his old gun. He wondered why he re- ceived such a strange look when he handed over his gun for inspection, It turned out that the particular weapon in question had been stolen from Epps over five years ago it has passed through several hands since that time, but the numbers and identification marks made it easy for him to prove ownership. At the present time he is tracing back through various persons who have had possession of the gun, and has, been successful in finding four previous owners. It just goes to, prove that honesty is the best policy. p FEBRUARY 24, 1938. THE HOME PAPE TAVISTOCK WINS FIRST GAME OF PLAY-OFF(S Colts Two Goals Down For Return Game To Be Played Here To -morrow Night. COLTS MUST WIN OR HANG UP. Favorites to win the Group Title for the fourth year in a row,the Clinton Colts, and a large following of fent, received a rude jolt on Tues day night, when in Tavistock in the first of the bonze -and -home series of the group finale the Tavistock Greenshirts tacked the first defeat of the current season on the Colts and established themselves as a serious threat for the group honors. The final score, was 6 to 4, and the return game will be played here tomorrow night, and the Grreenshirts will be protecting that two -goal lead just like a mother cares for a new-born baba Thus we find the Colts on the well-known spot, with their backs • to the wall, for the result of the I4iday night tussle means win or hang up; for either team ' The two -and -a -half week lay off the: Colts have had, while Tavistock and Seaforth were fighting it out in the semi-finals probably did not do the Colts any good, as in Tuesday night's. game they played spotty hockey at times not being able to get their plays working, but there should be no alibing as the Greenshirts won the game strictly on. their merits, scoring six nice goals while the best the Colts could do was register four. Two players stood out like a couple of sore thumbs for' the Greenshirrts, "Smokey" Harris and Archie Hubert, and if the Colts hope to pull up on even terms with the Greenshirts, and go o -e to win, they must pay strict atten- tion to these two clever players. A look at the goal summary verify our statement as Harris to cart in five of the 'Shirts goals Hubert picked up four scoring point The two of them accounted for foul of the six Tavistock goals and were always dangerous. on the attack. Speed predominated in the first 20 minutes with both teams giving ev- erything in an effort to gain an ear- ly advantage. Tavistock succeeded in scoring the first goal and were wt 11 it Goal Summary ok and First Period — Goals—Tavistock, Harris (Hubert) 12.07; Clinton, Rath, s' 15.00.

Harris scored at 12.07 whe accepted a pass from Hubert the Clinton defence. Clinton tied up at the 15 minute mark when Rath shoved his own rebound past Strahm. Play was fairly evenly di- vided with both goaltenders .being hard-pressed at times. Penaitie were handed out to McKay, Street and Hubert with 2. Tavistock took a commanding lea in the second period when they adde three goals to their first period tall without a reply from the Colts. Jus two minutes of the period had elapse when Hubert and Harris broke clea for another pretty goal, Hubert doin the honors this tune, The order wa reversed on the next one wizen Harr.'i took Hubert's pass at the nine min- ute nark to_ sink another one behind the busy Doak. Nob and Harris made it 4-1 at 12.19, when Neeb took Harris' pass at the blue line and shooting from well out caught the left-hand corner of the net with a fin shot. The .Colts came to life and put on the pressure and a minute later R. McEwan shot home Postcr's pass to make it 4-2, and thus the period ran out. Tavistock—Goal, Strahm; defense, Yausie,, Pearson;'centre, Harris; wings, Neeb, Hubert; alternates, Morgenrotlt,, Matthies, Vogt, Faber, Schlitt. Referee—Appel, Stratford. Lions Hockey League In the last game of regular sched- ule Mcintyre's Maroons came to life and defeated the second place Cana - diens 6 to 3. This was the first win for the Maroons but' the style of hoe - e key they dished up made you wonder why they are tailenders, The Final Standing P W L F' A Pts.

The Juvenile team, picked from these three teams played the return- game with Mitchell Juveniles last t night. The result of the game was anoth- er„win for Clinton by'a score of 7-3. This is the third straight' win for the kids. The' Clinton line-up was 'as follows: Goal, J. Butler; defence, Dixon, McKeneie; centre, Powell; wings, R. Monteith, McEwan; subs, Counter, C'olquhoun, Caine, Camp- bell, Sartliff, Schoenhals. Tho Colts made a strong bid to tie the score early in the third period, but fourteen minutes had elapsed be - before Pickett put the Colts with- in haling distance when he aimed Fos- ter's pass in: the right direction. The Greenshirts came right back in a min- ute's time and Neeb scored when he and Paber combined. Tavistock again went into a commanding lead whet at the 17 minute mark Harris scored on a pass from Vogt and Hubert. P McEwan put the "Colts back in the running a minute later when he took Pickett's pass at the blue line and went in on Strahm to score Clinton's fourth goal and'the final one of the game. While each team scored two goals in this period, the Colts had an edge in play. Time after tittle: they bottled the Greenshirts up around their net but always a Ieg or skate was in the way when a flying puck went goalward. From the start of the game the Colts applied the pres- sure whenever the opportunity pre- sented itself. Probably a more defen- sive style of play in this. game would have kept the score more even, as it ,gave Tavistock many opportunities to skate in on an a very poorly -pro- tected goaltenderand on several oe- easi.ons the Greenshirts came very close to widening the gap between then. F. McHwan shot a goal past Strain i in the second period which the referee declared was shot in the crease and it was disahowed. In the third period it appeared to many spec- tators who were situated at a point of vantage that Streets had scored one, but the goal judge did not raise his hand and the referee. was not in on the play so it also went for naught. The Colts have their work cut.out on Friday night and your support at the game. will be greatly ,appreciated, Casualties of the game were Doak, who received a cut over the eye from a flying puck half way through the third period. Matthies of Tavit stock retired froth. the game at the end of the second period from an injury suffered while his. team was warm- ing uii before the game. Another' ac- cident which was amusing to the spec- tators but not so for the referee, was when this worthy stepped on a piece of paper on the ice, and went crashing• down on the ice, hitting his head with a distinct thud, and rais- ing a very conspicuous bump which became more conspicuous as the game rogressed, Fire Brigade Will Answer Calls In Townships In. last week's issue we gave an account of the 'formation of a fire brigade in Brttcefield. Wewere given to understand that sails would be ans- wered for a distance of one mile 'and a quarter each way from the village. This has beenr called to our attention as incorrect. The brigade will answer calls in both Stanley and Tucker - smith where they can be of . assis- tance. ` When a fire occurs the bri- gade should be called at once in or- der that they may know where to go. Not so long ago a fire occurred in the township and the brigade were waiting to be called, not knowing where to go. Rural residents should appreciate the added protection af- forded them.

The Eleventh Hour For Copy For some time now a habit has been growing on our advertisers and cor- resppndents which is proving very in- convenient ement to us. We refer to the habit of holding news itemsand change of advertising copy until the deadline on Wednesday afternoon. If it were possible to do so we would be glad to set all items in the last hour before going to press, but when so much comes in on Thursday morning we find this impossible. A lot of copy we receive could easily have been sent in on Tuesday, but, through carelessness it has been held over. A person may say, "Ib is only a small item, and won't take long", but when several others think the same thing, it means that we have too much copy to set before going to press. The result is that we have been hard pressed to catch the mails now for several weeks. Please! Try to get into the habit of sending in your copy 'early in the week. Father and Son Banquet At Wesley -Willis Church Well Attended Under the auspices of the Ontario Boys' Work Board, and sponsored by Alvin Corless, Minister of Welfare in the Older Boys' Parliament of On- tario, a successful father and son banquet was staged in Wesley -Willis church on Thursday evening.

He was followed by Rev. G. G. Bur- ton, who gave a five minute address fitting to the occasion. Kenneth Ingham, Boy Premier of Ontario, ' was the guest speaker for the evening and was introduced be- his cabinet. colleague, Alvin Corless, His address showed that he had .a keen insight into the conditions fac- ing the youth of today. "Boys and young men are standing on the threshold of life and looking out 011 the world. They don't understand all they see, but there is generally a feeling of respect for the vastness of the world. Vast forces command their admiration though they may condemn its cruelties and sordidness", he said as he spoke of the problems facing the men of tomorrow. He spoke of the dreams which every boy has, and of the ideals which mutt be cultivated to ensure a progressive na- tion. Alvin; 'Corless thanked all those who assisted in the program, the men and boys for their generous at- tendance, and also the ;Women's As- sociation for the part they had play- ed in mailing the evening a, success; Mrs. Paterson, the president ofthe association, replied to the vote of thanks.
