We are informed that Gabriel El- liott, the well known ex -reeve of Goderieh township, is positively in the field as a candidate for County Commissioner. It is said that John Middleton may also be a candidate. ..The new Methodist Church at Lon- desboro village was opened on Thanksgiving Day—the Dedicating services taking place on Sunday—and as the event is one of more than ordinary importance, it is worthy of special metjtion. The architeet and designer was J. Ades Fowler of Clinton; .Buchanan and Rhynas, of Goderieh, were general contractors; stone masonry, Hiram Hill; brick- work, -D. Prior; Painting, Mr. Suberg- er. The building is a credit to those who worked upon it and much credit ,goes to the 'minister, Rev. J. W. Andrews, who worked unsparingly.

Huntley of Kansas City and J. E. Cantelon of Clinton tieing for second place. Some excitement was caused Last Thursday by the sudden death of Alfred O'Neil, who lately come to town from Milwaukee, under what was thought to be suspicious circum- stances, and Corner Shaw ordered an inquest. The jury were H. T. Rance, foreman; A. J. Holloway, G. A. Rob- erlton,M. D, McTaggart, N. Bali, J. R. Forbes, .T. W. Stevenson, W. J. Tozer, George McLennan, E. E. Hun- niford and W. 'Ii, Hellyar.

His Lord- ship, Bishop Williams conducted the decicatory services. MR, B. J. GIBBINGS "B. J. " arrived home Tuesday night after an absence in the West of several months and the cordial- ity of his reception by the citizens at large must have convinced hint that he is one of the old town's fav- orite sons, On behalf of the citi- zens who have not yet had an op- portunity of meeting him the News - Record welcomes Mr. Gibbings back and expresses the hope that he may remain here permanently. REEVE CANTELON The old records would have to be searched to find the date of Mr. 11 Cantelon's entry into municipal poli- tics and inail the years of his mem- bership of the council, he had been a progressive. He has been a "Clin- ton First" man all the time, at the county council especially so, and evi- dence of his persistent work in that regard was to be see in' the last re- vised assessment. Mr. Cantelon will no doubt be a candidate at the com- ing election and if so he will deserve the support from his fellow citizens. THE CLINTON NEW ERA, DECEMBER 4, 1913 Some evilly disposed person or persons placed a, plank on the rails of the. Grand Trunk at Londesboro the other day which luckily was shoved off by the engine without damage. A. serious accident might have *lilted, An in'eestigation is being made.

Referee Mobbed at London Hockey, Game Referee Chick Appel was the vic- tim of a cowardly attack by a group of fans following last Wednesday night's Michigan -Ontario Lea g u e game at London. Appel's left collarbone was broken. Other injuries included -a bad cut over the left eye, a cut hp and num- erous bruises. He was treated in the London dressing room and was able to leave for his hone in Strat- ford although suffering considerable, pain. Describing the attack, Appel said he was leaving the ice, following the game, when some person .grab- bed at him from behind. This happened in the alley leading from the ice to the corridor, along which the referees' dressing room is. locat- ed. When he turned to shake off the grip of the person who was hold- ing him, he received a punch in the face. ' As he turned 'away from the rowdies to continue toward the dressing room, Appel was pushed so forcibly from, the rear that he was sent sprawling on his face through the door leading from the rink. His shoulder struck the walk leading into the arena as he fell, breaking his collarbone. While he lay on his stom- ach, some person jumped on his back and forced his face against the walk. Pieces of cinder or chips of cement were ground into the flesh over his left eye by the force of the impact. In the meantime, Jack McCully, the second official on the ice, had preceded Appel front the ice, and had walked down the corridor toward the dressing room, unaware that the at- tack had occurred. By the time he learned of the trouble, some of the respectable London fans had hauled the attacker off the prostrate referee and were assisting Appal to the dressing rom. The London tearer dropped a close decision to the Detroit Holtzbaugh's and the flare-up came as the result of a penalty to a London player. Ac- cording to the London sports writer the attack was made by "a small group of hooligan • fans". Appel has refereed games in Clin- ton and made a good job of it too. We can recall games he handled last winter when he came in for criticism at times, but on the whole won the admiration of the fans for his im- partiality and fairness. The coward- ly attack is being frowned upon by the management of the London team who have started a benefit fund for Appel's benefit A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Saunders Receive Many Tokens of Esteem On Saturday evening a group of some twenty persons visited the home of Mr. and Mrs, W. Frank Saunders, Cambria road, to hold a surprise party in' honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders were presented with a beautiful Sheffield candelabra, the presentation being made by Mr. R. J. McMeheny and Mr. Saunders responded in a pleasant manner. The evening was spent in playing bridge. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders were mar- ried at the home of Mrs. Saunders' parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Glenn, at Clinton, on November 19, 1913, in a double marriage ceremony with the bride's sister, Mary Glenn, and Gab- riel Elliott, the officiating clegyman being Rev. D. E; Grant, of Clinton. They have since resided in Goder- ich, Mr. Saunders' birthplace, and are highly -regarded members of Knox Presbyterian church. Mr. Saunders is secretary of the board of managers of the church, and Mrs.,.Saunders is a soloist in the choir and an active worker, in the Arthur Cirele. On Sat- urday the session, board of managers and choir presented the couple with a lovely silver dishy with a letter ex- pressing appreciation of their work in the church, signed by Rev. D. J. Lane, moderator, A. D. McLean, chairman of the board, and liars. H. C. Dunlop, president of the choir. Intimate friends of the couple also presented Mr. and Mrs. Saunders with a handsome silver platter on their anniversary. Mr, and Mrs. Saunders are mem- pers of the Goderieh Bridge Club, and Mr. Saunders is president for the year 1939. They have one daughter, Gail, who is attending Central public school,— Goderieh Signal -Star. THE LIFE WORTH WHILE Living' the life worth while, that is, doing all the good you can as you go along, scattering your flowers as you go, knowing that you will never go the same. road again, giving everybody a life, encouraging every- body who is down, being kind' and generous, and true, is infinitely bet- ter than making a ..great fortune by being selfish, snobbish, cold-blooded. To Establish Campsite at Reforestation Project Purchase of a hone and 13 acres of land near the site of the new Bruce county forest in Amabel town- ship was approved last week by Bruce county council. As a result there is now an area near the newly planted forest`whieh can be used as commended to council the purchase of a house ,and about 13 aeres of. land adjacent to the forest. from Theodore Seaman for the price or $1800 and the council endorsed the proposal.

Brandenberger, the= inventor of the process for making it,. saw his original goal achieved. Spill- ing some wine on the Mable cloth of a Paris restaurant started the Swiss chemist searching for some form of, protection that would make table- cloths and other textile products stain -proof. His experiments wliiela resulted in the discovery for making cellulose film, solved many problems but not the one of rendering textiles' stain -proof. 'The inventor's dream of a world of stain -proof tablecloths and: dresses was made possible last year,. however, with the discovery in Eng- land of a finishing agent that rend- ers fabrics durably stain -proof and Water -repellant.
