This highly esteemed couple were united in marriage at the Methodist parsonage, Londesboro, on March 9th, 1888, by the Rev. Da- vid avid Rogers. The bride was Ann Eli- zabeth Rogerson, daughter .of the late Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Rogerson of Hullett. The groom's parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. William Arm- strong. The bridesmaid was Miss Mae Rogerson, cousin of the bride, who later became Mrs. Robert Clarke, of British Columbia; the groomsman was Mr. Fred Rogerson, now of Clin- ton, brother of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong have liv- ed all their married life on the Arm strong homestead where he was born and has always lived. Their wedding day was a beautiful clear March day, with . deep snow. - The bridal couple walked the two miles from the bride's -home to the groom's home. ' They have a family of three daugh- ters and four sons: Howard, of Con- stance; Mrs .Thomas Pryce (Teresa) of WMrs. J. P .Cole (Mabel) of 'Winthrop;Brucefield; John, of Londesboro; Fred, of Grimsby; James, of Toronto; Miss Ella, at home. Two sons, Vie - tor and Cecil, passed away some years ago.

Marie, Ont.; Charles, Cal- gary; Fred, Clinton, and Walter, Sea- forth. Mr. Armstrong has a brother and a sister: Robert A., a Windsor, and Mrs, Jean Stanley, of South Dakota. Mr. Armstrong has served f o r. many years on the Hullett municipal council and was Reeve of the town- ship for a total of ten. years. At pres- ent he is chairman of the McKillop Telephone Company.

Astronomy Is Subject Of Address Astronomy was the topic of col. H. B. Combe's address on Sunday as the guest speaker of the Men's Commun- ity Bible •Class, In an interesting manner the speaker endeavoured to enable his hearers to form some con- ception of the immensity of the uni- verse. Geo. H. Jefferson was in charge of the study of the Interna- tional Sunday School lesson which last Sunday dealt with the miracle of the feeding of the multitude with five loaves and two fishes. An interesting subject will be dis- cussed this week and, a, special spea- ker has been asked to address the meeting. New Era The New. Era Est. 1805 CLINTON ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1938. LIONS DEFEATED B Y TORONTO TEAM Visitors Too Big For Local Kids SCORE :6-2 IN SUDDEN -DEATH GAME Hockey activitiesceased for Clin- ton on Tuesday night when the Clin- ton Lions, classy little Midget ag- gregation, took defeat at the hands of Toronto's Lehman Library team, the. score was 6-2 for the visitors and the game, -being a sudden death affair, gives the Clinton kids na chance for a come -back at their big city rivals. As in all the other games the Lions have played since entering in the Midget Playdowns, they were at a great disadvantage in size. The,Leh- man team were very well balanced all the way around„ both in size and speed, (must have been fed on eorn. syrup to grow 'cm that big), and the Lions were in no way disgraced in their defeat to a bigger and stronger team. The kids have given a splen- did account of themselves and the whole town is justly proud of them. A large crowd saw a good game considering • the condition of the ice which was watersoaked from the start of the game and became worse as the game progressed, Both teams were handicapped greatly as a result, especially the passing plays of the Lions, and in previous games this has been their mainstay against the big- ger boys they have met. The Toronto boys should win the cup. They have a tremendous advan- tage . over smaller places in the choosability of players. We doubt if there was ten pounds between any player they had on their team and this is a big handicap for any smaller place where players within the age limit are usually at a premium. Toronto gained a one -goal margin in the opening period, Romaniw scor- ing on a long shot from the blue line which apparently caught Chessel off his guard. Penalties had the Lions in hot water for a big part of the first half of this period and it was while Colquhoun was off that Romaniw scored the opening goal, but the goal was of a'very fluky nature. The Lions tied it up a minute later when Rolph Montieth cane out or a scramble at the Toronto• blue line to skate in alone on Hurst to tie the count. Quarring- ton put Toronto ahead again with less than a minute remaining in the period on a close -in shot that beat Chessel and thus the period ran out. The Toronto kids showed plenty of power in the second period as they gradually pulled into a lead of 6-1. Latham, a right winger, scored three e ran got Russel, a cent' u goals, and , the other. Hurst in the Toronto nets was too good for our kids, outguessing them on every tun. In the final period it was do or die for the Clinton kids and that five - goal lead wastoo much. The kids never gave up and the Toronto kids were hard-pressed for the entire twenty minutes, only the good work of Hurst keeping the kids from mak- ing it close. At the 14 -minute mark Harry M.cEwan passed the puck in front of the net to Powell, who flip- ped it past Burst for Clinton's second goal. The Lions pressed right up to the final bell but Toronto held up and the final score was 6-2. Thus ends another hockey season for: Clinton: The town has been knocking at the door for a champion- ship for the past four years, but al- ways near the last it has been denied them. The Colts did win the W.O. H.A. championship three years ago, but so far all teams in C.H.A. com- petition Wave fallenshort of their goal.

For the last few years it has been the Colts who have held up the Spring housecleaning by stay- ing in the playdowns long after they should have been beating the rugs. Nowthis year when the Tavistoek Greenshirts decided it wastheir turn, and things were starting, to settle, down in the old town, along comes a smaller team of Colts and upsets the social and business life of the com- munity, up to the time of writing, as badly as ever. The Lions, Club Midgets have not lost a game so far this year, and have only been tied once; 'on their own ice too, by the strong London en- try, but the Lions hoc) sweet revenge THE HOME PAPER The Farmers' Market Wheat, 85e.

Interest Increases In Oil Drilling Venture COMPANY STILL WAITING POR CHARTER Outside and local interest is in- creasing in the oil drilling venture in this vicinity and it is a lively topic of conversation. Last week representa- tives of Chatham and United States companies were canvassing the dis- trict seeking leases for their respec- tive concerns and we understand a number of leases were secured. 4, number of property holders are still holding out however. W. H. Newcombe, a former Clinton merchant is one of those interested in the venture M this district. He was engaged for sortie years in the gas and oil business at Vancouver and is thoroughly convinced that this dis- trict has deposits of oil, and is 7 P con- fident of the success of the venture. The first drilling will be on the How- ard Trewartha farm, but until the charter is granted the work remains at a standstill. The company is hav- ing difficulty in finding a suitable name, as each name submitted has been rejected. Once a charter is granted more definite plans will be made to go ahead with the work. when they won the round 8-5 by -beat- ing them 8-3 at Ilderton. They were immediately stacked up against the rumored strong S t. George team and ordered to play at Lyndon last Friday night. After a bad trip down through a blizzard most of the way, they at last arrived in Lynden just in time to get dressed. and onto the ice. As usual the Lions were up against a much heavier team than themselves but it soon became evident that their teamplay and passing was go- ing to be too much for their bigger rivals. However they were only able to score once in the first period, but had much' the better of the play. The next period was different. The kids started to get the kinks out of their legs after the long ride and ran in three goals on nice plays, The third period was a repetition of the second exactly, three more goals being ad- ded to the count making the final score 7 to 0 . The goals were all scored on neat passing plays, for the strength of the Lions, like the older Colts, is in their unselfish team play. Ken. Col- quhoun batted in 3. Rolph Monteith 2, and Phil Sparling and Cooney Mc - Ewan 1. each. To pick a star would not be fair, for every boy on the team played real hockey all the way. A. pleasing feature was the way the Colquhoun-Carter-Sparling line final- ly chased the jinx that has been both- ering them around the nets and clicked for four of the seven goals. The other line of Powell, Monteith and McEwan played their usual snap- py passing game, and shot in the oth- er 3. The defence played perhaps their best game of the year, Pierce, Cook and Counter blocking and rush- ing well andcombining• with the for- wards nicely and anyone who tried to go around Doug. McKenzie must have thought they had taken the wrong road like some of the cars we know of did going down, Bill Chessell in goal did not have a very busy night but handled everything that came his way with ease. St. George defaulted the return game here and so it was on to To- ronto. There has been some slight criti- cism of the kids defence at times, but figures prove that it is certainly not warranted. In the nine games -to date the Lions have scored 55 goals with but 14 having been scored against them. The defence must be on the job. A great deal of the credit for the kids great showing is due to the Colts organization. They have been most unselfish with their coaching and help and equipment and both the Clinton Liong Club and the Midgets greatly appreciate it, also the help and sup- port given by the Junior manage- ment., ' "Timmer" McEwan handles the kids from the bench, and says they are easier to handle than some of the enthusiastic Dads. JUNIOR TEAM WHIPS HENSALL A team of junior players made up of both local and outside talent de- feated a team from Hensall last week by the score of 10 to. 2. The lads carrying the local colors proved too much for the boys from the south and, the score is a fair in- dication of the play. Oil Company Want Lease On Town Dump In the course of their varied duties the town, councillors meet with a va- riety -of strange requests. This week they received one which heads the list as being widely different. Overthe week -end representatives' of three companies were in this vi- cinity endeavoring to secure leases on property within the rep,orted oil area; and one of these representatives ap- proached some of the councillors ask- ing them to lease the town dump. He no doubt felt that since it was situ- ated so close to the point where the first drilling is to take place, it would be a choice piece of land to have under option. Lions Club Hear Interesting Talk On Ireland George H. Jefferson was the guest speaker at the Lions Club meeting which was held on Monday evening in the Parish Hall. At this meeting the attendance was small due to other social activities, but those who attended were rewarded by an inter- esting talk on Ireland and St. Pat- rick. The speaker outlined in brief the story or myth regarding the life of the patron saint, concluding his talk by quoting poems by the Irish poet; Thomas Moore. At this meeting the quartette sang one number, which according to the members present, proved sufficient. Their progress has not been as rapid as had been hoped. Lion Pattison gave an interesting report on his trip to Kentucky where he visited with a former Clinton Lion, Neil Bomhoff: The meeting closed with the Lions Roar.
