IRWIN'S " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " BUSY WEEK IN LOCAL HOCKEY CIRCLE Junior Drop Two Close Games This Week, But Are Out To Win Tonight. COLTS CONTINUE TO PILE UP THE GOALS The 'Clinton' Colts, along'with a large number of local fans went to Seaforth last Thursday 'night ,when the Colts defeated the Beavers 3-0 in what proved to be a closely con- tested game. " Although Seaforth failed to enter the score column it was not for the want of trying; and when these two teams meet again, and on hard ice ,it should be a real game. • In the firs. period, after the Sea - forth team'had tried hard to score, Don McKay, local defenceman, scored the first goal on'a nice rush; he skat- ed in on Doig, who saved on the first shot, but McI{ay was quick to bang in the rebound. '• Clinton scored twice in the second. R. McEwan getting both counters, one on a pass from. Waters the other from a scramble in the goal mouth At one time Clinton was two men short when Holmes and McKay, Were off, but 'Seaforth failed to. score Doak was unbeatable in the nets for the Colts, • In the third period the Colts were inclined to t oke tl ' un easy. Y• The ice h was very bad and with the exception of an odd sally up the ice they were content to shoot the puck up to the Seaforth end: and let them carry the play, 'but so strong was their defen- H sive tactics that Seaforth had very few chances on Doak, The final score was 3-0. s Clinton -Goal, Doak; defence, Mc- Kay, Waters; centre, Pickett; wings, Gibbs, Streets; alternates, F.

The organization was composed of eight, four men and`four women, -°and they presented a varied program which was muchi enjoyed by the large number present._ BUT WE ALL PREFER WINTER The Colts won another game on Monday night when they defeated Wingham in the kcal arena to the tune of 9-1. This was the Colts tbird straight win and it begins to look as though history may repeat tself, unless some of the 'opposition perks up. In three games the Colts Lave scored 25 goals as against 2— n average 'of eight a game—not bad going., The game started off like a tea party and fans were seen pinching themselves to keep awake. However bout midway through the first per - d. 'Gee. '1fohnes scored on a pass. Mr. J. Taylor, who is wintering in Florida, writing to change his ad- dress, says: I have just been going over Andy Porter's list of names (of persons living here in 1935) and I knew every one of thein very well, and could give you a goad many more names, both before and after 1895, of well-known Glintonians. .And,no doubt in the exportation that our envy aright be aroused, he adds: We had a mixed jitney bowl- ing :tournament this afternoon (Jan, 8th with vrt h for t rinks, Y k , 160 bowlers, all dressed in summer attire, just ike a midsummer day, temperature about 80 in the sun.

"But to get back to Terzipin,", he continued, "they are said to make the richest soup, and we hope the con- signee enjoyed thein." If you are not sure just what they .are look it up in the dictionary, as the agent said he did. Georgia has more of ahem toship, if you would like to try them, they are duty fres, and expz'ess rates are not heavy, but they cost plenty of money, neverthe- less. Ye editor, too, looked up the dic- tionary to make sure what sort of cattle terripin happened to be, but the trying of the soup is another question. We cannot vouch for it. SAVE' ACCIDENTS It has; been suggested 'that when street sandin •�• g is done the street run- ning ap to the hospital should not be neglected. People go to the hospital when they have to, often elderly folk ge to visit relatives,. and this week according to, an observant in- formant, some folk had is hard time negotiating the walk over the slip- pery streets. A' serious. accident. ,night also result, supplying another patient to the hospital. A NARROW ESCAPE Mr.' Ed. Welsh, mail courier, met with an accident the other day which night have proved more serious, and indeed, he is very thankful that it did not.,. He was delivering snail down the London road and had just delivered mail into Mr. M. Wiltse's box, the horse while he was doing it, turning across the road. When be looked up a ear was coming and .he, tried to urge the horse across; the car driver doing his best to slow' up his ear. But they didn't quite make it and the car struck the cutter, smashing h n it u and nd dr p a in' the dragging harness off the horse. But by almost a miracle neither the man nor horse was injured. The car, was driven by a man from Byron and he also es- caped c d unhurt. c tt. Although the loss is more or less heavy,. the cutter : and harness being almost completely de- stroyed, Mr. Welsh' is very thankful the eonsequences were no worse. C. I.
