NORMAN'S "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for over Half .a Century in Huron County" CLINTON ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939 THE HOME PAPER SCOUTS PLEASED WITH APPLE "DAY SALES Leaders of the various Boy Scout troops express themselves as being well pleased` with the result of the Apple Day sales made in Clinton on Saturday. 'Early in the morning the busy young taggers were out making their calls at the various hones in the areas assigned them, and,. they met with generous response. Others were stationed at strategic paints in the business section, and throughout the day ,and evening the appeal to buy an apple did not go unheeded. True there were a few negative an-, mere, only a few however, and on behalf of the snouts we have been asked to say thanks for the very generous support. After all expenses had been met, the sum of '$64.00 was left over for the promotion of scout ways been the framework upon which Canada's forces have been built.

As has been previously outlined, the' purpose of the militia is to make available'a voluntary citizen force to provide trained officers, and N.G.O.'s in an emergency to ;command and train troops.

Mr. Trewin.was raised' he Hullett township, and took his high school training at the Clinton Collegiate•In- stiente, and in 1885 • went to The Coburgh Methodist College,` to train for the ministry. After graduation Fie took work with the Methodist Episcopal Church in Michigan and Oklahoma. After retiring he re- turned to Clinton, 'to be near his old home and friends'. He will be much missed in town, and especially in the Wesley -Willis church, and. by the "Covenant" Adult Bible Class, where he was vice Presi- dent, and a faithful member for some years. [Interfered with. The militiahas al - work in Clinton. Patriotism is one of the things the boys are taught. They are anxious to do their bit in helping to win the war and hope to raise money for hearing. The troop leaders again ask the public to be kind to the boys when they call. Loan of a storage building would be appreciated. A truck has already been promised. Hallowe'en Pranks Although Hallowe'en night is not until next week, reports indicate that same of the boys are apparently get- ting in a little practice prior to the date. Complaints have been made of damaged property even at this early date. It was done thoughtlessly no doubt, even as much of the annoy- ance on Tuesday night will be. Everyone expects the visitors Hal- lowe'en night, but there are some homes where their calling constitutes a nuisance. Possibly a snort lecture at the school or in the home might prevent damage or annoyance to eld- erlywpoople•not able to cope with the situation themselves. Let them have fun, provided it is carried out in the proper spirit. :Old Classmates Meet Mr. Wm. J. Tough of Clinton, was one of the many out of town visitors Who attended the Forest Fair on Wednesday last. This was Mr. Tough's first visit to Forest, and he was highly pleased with the exhibits, and the appearance of the country round about. Mr. Tough is a native of Huron County arid was a classmate of Dune can Whyte, when they attended the Toronto Normal School in 1891. After leaving the Normal School, they had neither seen nor heard from each other for 49 years, at which time the acquaintance was •renewed by means of a mutual friend. The lives of e these two amen are very similes... They are the same age. Both spent many .years in rural schools. Both were farmers and both are now living retired. LOCAL HOCKEY ORGANIZATION Goderich and Clinton will Join Forces • for the Coming Season Something radical in the way df hockey organization in this district will be -attempted during the coming winter. At a meeting held in the Town Hall, Goderich, on Friday eve- ning, attended by many hockey en- thusiasts from Goderich along with several from Clinton, it was decided to combine the Goderich .and Clinton hockey forces into one' team reports the Goderich Signal -Star. It was etated by J. M. Elliot, who headed the Clinton delegation, that it would be impossible for this town to put a team on the ice this year and that. if Goderich also was short of material and desired an ainalgama- tionr Clinton would be willing to co- operate. It was pointed out by Elliott Dram nan, chairman, that an 'amalgamation of two towns is forbidden under present O.11.A. rules, so' that the team would hanie to go underthe name of either one town or the other. After a great deal of discussion it was agreed that the team should be named as from Clinton. This does not mean, however, that all home games will be played in Clinton'. There is no O.H.A. rule forbidding a team's playing its home games in another town. Therefore, if present plans materialize, half the home games will be played in Clinton and the other half in Goderich. An executive of three Goderich men, and three Clintons • men was formed, composed of E. Drennan, W. MacDon- ald and J. Borman, Goderich, and J. M. Elliot; N, W. 'Miller and G. Law- son, Clinton. land (The Die Herds) one of the foremost regiments in the British army. The officers of that regiment are constantly in touch with the Canadian units, keping them advised of their activities. The type of men being sought are young men who are physically fit and of good education who will be able to take the required courses of instruction and qualify for the tech- nical echnical type' of warfare as now earried on. Signalling, range taking, map reading, are courses which will be provided for in the syllabus of train- ing. The sooner the organization is filled up the more efficiently train- ing can be carried out. Those intend- ing to join should do so at once.
