M "Counter's for Finer Je-wellery for over Half a Century in Huron County" Colts at Home Tonight By that "At Home" we do not mean that tonight's game is going to be any tea party. Tonight is 'the first home game for the Clinton Colts and their oppositiou are the Taviatock Greenshb•ts, the boys who nosed out the Clinton team in the finals last year. That in itself should be suf- ficient to assure anyone that it, will •be no tea party for either team. The Greenshirts have already play- ed two games. In their first game they tied with Mitchell 5-5 and on Tuesday night walloped the Goderich Sailors to the tune of 6-1. The C'cilts have not had any too much practice this year due to lack of ice but just the same they trimmed Mitchell on Tuesday night 9-5 so it is apparent they have made the most of every opportunity they have had thus far, There is not likely to be any letdown in tonight's tussle either. Both teams will be out to add another win to their record as every win will streng- then them for the round with Sea - forth, a team for which neither Clin- ton or Tavistock have any love. Those who saw the game in Mit- chell Tuesday night say the Colts are working smoothly. The old line of the McEwen brothers and Faster are clicking smoothly, and the other line of Draper, Streets an d Porterfield are working just as good. "Wick" Elliott, Rath, Youngblubt and Neil- ans are the Colts defeneemen. "Wick" Elliott and George Elliott in gbal are making comebacks after three years absence from the line up. Porterfield, a former Mitchell player and Young - butt from Zurich have added much to the Colts strength. The Tavistock team are minus the services of "Bad Boy" Hebert and "Smokey" Harris, who are with Seaforth, but have filled their/vacancies nicely and are report- ed to have even a stronger team this year. So it appears that a good fast game with no favors asked or given is on the slate for tonight and here's wishing the Colts the best of luck. Stanley Township Native Dies Word has been received here of the death of Mr. Alex D. McLaren, a nat- ive of Stanley township, who for a number of years has lived at Spokane, Washington.

In the morning the minister spoke about the importance of the Christian's devotional life. He left with his people a. verse of poetry as a key note to thair Christian living in 1939: "Every morning, lean thine arms awhile, Upon the windowsill of Heaven, And gaze upon Thy Lord, Then, with the Vision in thy heart, Turn strong, to meet thy day," In the evening, the Young People presented a beatitiful Candle Light Service, vividly depicting the neces- sity of the indwelling spirit of Christ, if 1939 is to be rich and rewarding in spiritual values. In the morning of Sunday, January 8th, the minister will speak on the subject "God's Requirements," basing his sermon on Micah 6:8. The evening subject "In the begin- ning God" is the first of a short series of evening sermons based an the early chapters of the book of Genesis.

No Trace of Missing Man Despite the fact that an intensive search has been made locally and a description df the missing man broad- cast, no trace has been found of Mr, Harry Fremlin who disappeared from his home over a week ago. The heavy snowfall since his dis- appearance _has made the search in- creasingly difficult and with no clues to work on the search has thus far been in vain.

McKinnon, Huron street, goes the distinction of being tha. first woman ever to kola a public office in the town of 'Clinton. Mrs. Mc- Kinnon received an acclamation to the Clinton Public School Board last week and her experience in educational Work will be of great benefit in the performance of the dutiei connected with that office. Mrs..McKinon and her late husband were former students of the Clinton Collegiate and later were members of the staff far a number of years. Mrs. McKinnon was also a member of the Seaforth Collegiate staff and Port Perry High School, and more recently in charge of the Commercial Department of the Thorold High School as Commercial Specialist. The annual meeting of the Women's Association of the Wesley -Willis church was held yesterday with a splendid atheadance. Goad reports of the year's work were given by the Convenors of committees. The presi- den, Mrs. Paterson was in charge and Mrs. (Rev.) Lane conducted the elec- tion of officers resulting as follows: Hon. President, Mrs. A. Lane; Presi- dent, Mrs. E.

The Presbyterian Church Public worship will be conducted in Clinton at 11 a.m. and in Bayfield at 3 p.m. This Sunday the Minister will preach on the text, "For though theta be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many and lords ninny,) but to us there is but one GO, the Father, of whom are all things', and we in him; and one Lord Jesus by whom are all things, and we by him." -1 Cor. 8:5, 6. The exposition of this text will lead us to consider: whether or not idol- atry be dead among us, or whether modern man has merely 'refined' his idols; why the early Christians were accused of 'atheism', and in 'what sense it would be well if the Christian Church were held suspect of 'atheism' today; can God be known by man, and if so how, and in what does that knowledge consist; is there any other solution for probleals of conduct other 'than that grounded in the 'knowledge Londesboro Couple Wed 54 Years Mr. and Mrs. John Fingland on Tuesday, December 28th. quietly cele- brated their 54th. wedding anniver- sary rit their home in Londesboro.
