Davidson, a native of Gode- , ‘rich Township. He was a son .of the 'irate Hugh. Davidson and, Eliza John- ston and was 70 years of age. Hey .received his early edycation at Unionl School, Goi:lerich Township, where, after qualifying. as a teacher by at- tending Goderich High and Model Schools, be also, taught school for two years before going West to study medicine. He settled at Cartwright, and for many years conducted a suc- cessful practice. For some time he had been a suffered from rheumat- ism. He is survived by'his wife and family, Mrs. W. G. Wright It was a great shock to the com- nunity of Harrow to learn Tuesday night, February 15th, of the death of Mrs. W. G. Wright, who moved there as a bride 60 years ago, and who is the widow of a pram who in. his day was one of the outstanding business men not only of Harrow, but of South Essex. Mrs. Wright had been confined tobed for over a year, following a fall. She would have been 83 years of age on March 2nd. Mrs. Wright was of English ex- traction, her parents, Francis Wal- ters and Elizabeth Rattenbury hav- ing come out in the early days when it took .13 weeks to cross the ocean. They started from, England with three children and arrived in Canada with one, the others having died aboard ship. They settled inClinton, where Mary Elizabeth (Mrs. Wright) was born, the youngest and last of a fam- ily of 13. Her marriage in Clinton. March 6, 1878, to Mr. W. G. Wright of Harrow was the cuhnination 61 an interesting romance. Returning by boat from a trip to the West, he stopped over at Goderich and visited here; where when staying at the Rat- tenbury hotel, he met his future bride, and their. early marriage fol- lowed. They went to Harrow where Mr. Wright carried on a conveyanc- ing busines for 50' years, he passing away 11 years ago. Three children survive, Miss Ella and Roy at home, and Ruby, Mrs. Dudley Digges of Leamington. Mrs. Levi Stong, Mrs. J. K. Wise and Mrs. Whitfield Crich of Clinton are nieces.

THE LAST ROUND -DP (Continued from page 1) ed. t apparent From, the start it was, a .p a e nt that the Greenshirts would 'protect their lead and they appeared to be making.a fairly good job of it, until It the 5 minute mark of the first period, MeEwan Bros. and Foster clicked for the opening counter of the game ,The three of them work- ed right in," --Punch finally passing lo Foster who gave Strohm no chance as he parked right on his°door-step. The Colts had a man advantage at the time, Faber serving time for tripping. Play was fast and hard with bothteams having the advan- tage of man -power, as the penalties were divided, two apiece in this stan- za.;. Most of the Clinton rushes eith- m ended at the Tavistock defence or else the Greenshirts were beating them to rebound shots, which seemed to be the Colts' favorite line of at- tack, and from the sidelines seemed very futile indeed:' Penalties were handed out to Faber, Matthies, Foster' and Johnston, VARNA Mr. 11lort, Elliott has treated him- self to a '36 Dodge sedan. The beef -ring society held their euchre and dance in the hall on Feb. 24th, with a large attendance. Prizes were as follows: Ladies, Mrs. George Armstrong; consolation, Mrs. G. Swan; Gents, Mr. Jack Aikenhead; consolation, Mr. D. King. A large number from the village enjoyed the CKNX Hillbillies in Kip - pen on Friday night. Mr. and Mrs. F. Appleby left on Monday' for ingersol: where Mr. Ap- pleby has secured a position with a .fairy firm. Mr. Appleby has been m„loyed for several years with Mr. Nelson Reid, and both he and Mrs. Appleby will be much missed in the United Church and also from our vil- lage. The W.M.S. of the United Church will be held on Thursday in the church. Friday will be Lord's Day of Prayer in the United Church. The play, "Strictly Business" an- nomnced last week will be given on March 9th, instead of March 10th. Sorry to report Mrs. J, R.

Reid and Jean spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Keys and family. Mr, Roy Keyes, Mr. Russell Erratt, Master Alvin Keys and Master Clay- ton Keys took in the hockey game at Clinton on Friday night. Mr. Antos Keys was in Goderich on Tuesday attending the funeral of his cousin, Mr. 'Matthew Bates. Mr. and Mrs. Wrri. Reid spent Fri- day evening with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. ,14I, Reid of Clinton. Clinton's hopes soared high 4 min- utes and 11 seconds after the se- cond period started, when the Mc - Ewan Bros. tied the round on a neat goal. "Trooper", with his never -er- ring shot, took a pass front "Punch" and great was the rejoicing' of the Clinton fans as he caught the corner of the net behind Strohm. The com- plexion of things changed consider- ably when a minute later these same two lads took a rest in the penalty should also be given to his two mates Foster and "Punch," "Bonnie" got the other goal, and "Punch" handed out the assist, as a • good centre - )layer is supposed to do. This also marked thereturn game of Harold Gibbs, right-winger on the Pickett -Streets- Gibbs line of former years. • Gibby played the first game in Seaforth and has not seen action since, and his absence has greatly hampered the style of this line, al- though they have done splendidly Line-ups: Clinton -Goal, Doak; de- fence, Rath, McKay; centre, Pickett; wings, Streets, Gibbs; subs, F.

AT CLOSE OF GAME While the crowd were expectantly waiting for overtime play, the referee skated down the ice making• notions to signify that the play was over for the evening, but the fans were yet to receive more entertainment as play ers from. both teams came out and proceeded down the ice te, a spot in front 'of the players bench. Here a large circle was formed by the play- ers and some of the fans who jumped the boards in order not to miss any- thing. Mayor G. II. Elliott was. in the cen- tre of the circle and after calling for box, first it .vas "Timmer" and se- order he proceeded to read thefollow- conds later "Punch" joined him to ing alines to the star defeneeman. leave the Colts two men short on the ice. Tavistock immediately put on their strongest offensive attack, but CAR'JW RIGHT—JOHNSTON A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 23rd, at 4 pan. at Trinity church rectory Blyth, the Rev. R. M. Weekes officiating, when. Sarah Edith John- stoii, daughter of Mrs. Johnston and the late Charles Johnston, was united in marriage to Mr. Cecil 'Howard Cartwright, son of Mr. James Cart- wright and the late Mrs. Harriett Cartwright, all of Hullett township. The bride was attended by her sis- ter, Miss Pearl Johnston of Londes- boro and the gioomsman was Mr. E. J. Cartwright, of Blyth, brother of .the groom. Mr. and Mr's.

The presentation was made possible through the generosity of time was served. With only a few second remaining in the period the fans who had made voluntary contri- bution for the purpose. Dear Red: -1 do not want you to get nervous or excited as it is not my intention to censure you, or to sen- tence you at this time for taking un- to yourself a wife but on the other hand, I want to congratulate you on your good judgement in securing such a suitable partner: "One who will press your clothes and brush your hat, • And do such little things as that, And when you deckled then to take a wife' You choose one that would help you pull your sled through life." I are quite sure that I only voice the sentiment of the citizens of the tonn+nr and community when I say that we wish you health, happiness and prosperity in: a long and happy mar- ried life. On behalf of the Hockey fans I wish to say that you have won a very warm spot in our hearts. On defence you were a regular tower of strength, and as a goal -get- ter you were one of the best, always playing' a,dlean game, 'and so it is a great pleasure for me on behalf of the hockey fans to present you this gift as a mark of their appreciation for the services which you have ren- dered. -.Signed on Fans. order was reversed as Neeb and Hu- bert were sent off and it was the Colts' turn to apply the pressure, but the bell turned what looked like a break for the Colts into one for Tavistock as it rang the period out before the Colts could get their pow- er -play clicking. Penalties were giv- en Yausie 2, F. McEwan, R. McEwan, Johnston, McKay, Neeb and Hubert. The Colts had a two-man advan- tage to start the final period, but Tavistock proved equal to the occas- ion ,and held then off. At the 7.20 nark "Snrokey" Harris, centre -ice star for the Greenshirts, shot his team in the lead with a nice goal. Hard luck still dogged the Colts' footsteps, as a few minutes later Kel Streets, fast -skating left-winger on the Pickett -Gibbs -Streets line, was ripped by Harris and thrown heav- ily to the ice, dislocating his collar- bone, and necessitating his retirement from the game, and front hockey for the balance of the seasoi. Kel seems to be the tough -luck player of the team. Three years ago when the Colts were in the finals against Whit- by Streets was very sick in bed, and could not be in at .the finish. Then this Fall, just when hockey talk was warming up, he was a participant in motor accident which threatened to keep him out of the game for the winter. Ile overcame his difficulties and has played splendidly for his team, on a line that was weakened considerably by the absence of Har- old Gibbs, right-winger, until the game Friday night. . Then Lady Luck, and we don't think she's much of a lady either, stepped in and put one of the most valuable player of the team on the drydocks. The :trip apparently was accidental, as Harris got no penalty for the mishap. But the refereeing of Talbot was such that at times almost anything could have happened. Shortly after Streets' accident, Harold Doak, classy little goalie, for the Colts, received a puck on the side of the head. Doakie says it isn't bothering him, in fact its becoming a habit, as the last three games have each produced a slap in the face for him. Twice he got a flying puck just above the eye, and on Friday night or the side of his head. The Friday night accident may have -pre- vented the goal that could have won the game for Tavistock. Doakie was one his knees at the time and had cleared e, hard shot, the rebound had 'ppare tly been nicked up by a Tavi- stock player, .and seemed headed for the net, when Doak turned his head fust in time to deflect the puck off his ear to the corner. With Tavi- s.toek ahead 7 to 6 it was do or die for the Colts, and it was Frank Mc - Ewan who came to the rescue, when at 10.05 he shot the equalizer behind Strahm, and fandom relaxed again. Neither teams were able to break the tie and both were willing to call it quits for the night, the Colts no doubt being satisfied to have pulled up even with their greatly -improved rivals, and Tavistock no doubt happy n the thought that they had held the fast -stepping Colts to a draw in two keenly -contested games. A third game was decided on. Penalties: Hu- bert, Neeb, McKay. The next morning after• the game. Don McKay discovered he had a con- ple of cracked ribs and a badly swol- len knee due to a clash he had with the goal post in the third period. Moat of the Colts played well, but a'bouquet should be handed to "Tim- mer" McEwan for his two goals. Many a time have we seen "Tim" pull the old game; out of the fire. He seems, to go best when the team is down, no, doubt being indowed with that ; never -say -die , spirit. , Credit Proposes Formation Of Provincial Committee For United Action.

Hockey CARD OF THANKS Onbehalf of my wife and myself I wish to thank all the friends who so kindly contributed toward the lovely studio couch presented me at the close of ,the Tavistock -Clinton hockey game Friday evening of last weep —GRANT W. RATH. LUCIA. The following poem, written by Bert Glidden, we believe expresses the sentiment of the large following of fans who have followed the Colts the past three or four years. The Colts have always lead their share. of tough luck and tough breaks, and this applies particularly • to Kel., whose unfortunate accident on Friday night will leave him on the sidelines night kept him out of-actiorin last night's game. It has :often been said, and some people .think There is no such a word as Luck, That the breaks in life, and iii a game Come in the word called Pluck. It was in thegame, on Friday night, The 'tripes of our Colts seemed bright, When all of a, sudden it happened Andtheir hopes were. as dark as night. It was in the final period The score was tied six -all, When Harris tripped poor Kelso And he to the ice did fall. Sadness fell o'er the arena Like a blanket o'er a When we heard it was his collar bone And not just a bump on the head. Now Kel. is out for the season, His loss to.' the Colts is immense, 'Cause be was a valuable player Both forward and defence. It will be hard on your team-mates, Kel, But we feel sure they will come through, And win for the town and it's people, But first of all, for you. Now think it over you people, You say there is 110 luck, And that failure in life, and in a • game Is caused from the lack of pluck. I ani sure the fans , will all 'agree HOLMESYILLE A pleasant family gathering was held last Thursday in the basement! of the church, when a fine program' was presented.
