Defeat Parkhill Easily—St. Marys }'roves A Tough Morsel. CLINTON 11;- SEAFORTH 0 On their last scheduled group game at home .before the group play- offs start, the Colts really turned it on in proper style last Friday night when they whitewashed a reinforced Seaforth team 11 goals to none, and to say the least that was a fair in- dication of the play, the score plight easily_ have been doubled had it not been for the miraculous saves of Goalie Doig in the Seaforth nets. Even though he let six past him ,n the first and third, and Casey who replaced him for the second, let in five, there was time after time the smart combination and speed of the locals saw them right in on top of him only to shoot into his pads or to have him smother shots that had goal labelled all over them. The game was more interesting than the score would 'indicate, particularly to home fans, who werepleased to see the Colts flash some of their last sea- son's brilliance for the first time this year. Doak in the local nets had an exceptionally easy night, the Sea- forth 'lads were kept so busy trying to back -check that they had little time in which to go on the attack, and after receiving a few rough rides from the Local defence they were content with long shpts from the blue line for the most part, and these to Bookie are just like picking cherries. It is interesting to note that in seven games .only five gyrate have been scared on the Clinton goalie. This is partly cue to his splendid ability as a net -minder, and one cannot help mentioning the splen- did work of the local defence, and al- so the back -checking ability of the two forward -lines. And while guard- ing %their own nets so carefully the Colts have taken time to run in, all told, 49 goals on the opposition, an average of 'seven a game in the sev- en games played, They have won all seven games, only once being held to a close score, in Wingham, when the score was 3-2. Well to get back to the game,:--- play ame,-play started :off at a great old clip and was maintained for the most part throughout the entire game by the locals, :al'thoug'h :the Beavers tir- ed after the first period.

M.H:O.: ALMOST A HOLD-UP A young man of town had a bit of an experience one night recently as he was returning home at six o'clock. lle lives near the outskirts of :' the town and as he was going along sud- denly a mail stepped in his path and asked him "How about some money?" "I've no money," he answered. "Oh, yes, you have," ;the stranger said. But our young mail wasn't to be bluf- fed so he told the chap to get out of his way, and, thinking it best to ok- ey, he "got.". It was almost a hoe - up, and quite as near as we want to come to one. AMONG THE CHURCHES RAL WINTER The past couple of • weeks has demonstrated that Old • Father Win- ter •has a few kicks iib him yet. It bas also demonstrated that anyone who thought we could get • through the year, without a real tasth of an "old-fashioned winter" had another and `a wiser think coming. . It has been cold and stormy for a fortnight, but this week brought us the worst taste of severe weather, be- ginning with agale' Monday night; followed by a soft spell, which lasted until nearly noon Tuesday, then turning colder and the . wind rising until it was blowing . a gale. The wind kept up all night and all day yesterday, the mercury dropping to twelve, fourteen or. more degrees be. low Wednesday morning, The roads in many places were blocked, although the settling of the snow • by the soft spell before the wind rose, was a great help in pre- venting blockades. In some places the wind blew wires down and inter- ferred with the lighting systems. Stratford was without electric power for some hours Tuesday. The wind has gone down a bit this, Thursday morning, but -we are promised, no re- lief from cold for another day or so. H.

S, will 'meet -lit the hone of Mrs. B. J. Gibbings on Tues day afternoon;, teele rith, at three o cloolc: After .seven minutes :of play Pic- kett opened the scoring on a close -in shot. Gibbs .scored no. 2 when he slammed home Rath's rebound past Doig shortly afterwards. Before the .end e.£ tike period Rath scored on a nice rush with R,Mefwan. Doig made , some snmantilous saves and had It not been for him the score might .easily have been double what it was at the end of the first. At the same time the Seaforth lads were receiving a 'merry ride from the 'local defence whieh was having its ,toll upon them. Cec. Holmes opened the scoring in the ssoond on a pass from R. McEw- an. .Casey had replaced Doig in the Seaforth nets, for why we dont know, for it certainly wasn't his fault that the Beavers were trailing. .Anyway Caseylett nearly as many in in one period as Doig did in two. 'Timmer" McEwan came throughwith two quick goals, both on solo efforts. Ken Pickett scored a beautifulgoal when he stieksandled' his way right in on Cr,isey. Don. McKay, who has a habit of scoring at least one goal a game, came through with the final, goal of the period. The penalty time- keepers were having a fine time as the period ended with no less than five. players • serving time. Clinton had only two men on the ice at one time along with, the goalie, but Sea - forth failed to score. A regrettable accident occurred in the third when Culliton of Seaforth,. fell, and Gibbs fell over him,, the. heel of his skate catching, Culliton in the head and leaving a gash which re- quired five stitches' and necessitated his going, to hospital for the, night due to loss of blood. Much sympathy was felt for the injured player, who is an admirable hockey player.. Rath and Pickett featured the scoring in this period. Each got a goal on solo efforts and; the same two combined for the last goal, Rath scoring, Pen- alties were numerous, 10 in all, 6 to the Colts and 4 to Seaforth. The, ice was very keen and a fine crowd was in attendance. The Line-up: Clinton: Goal, Doak; defence, Rath and McKay; centre, R. McEwan; wings, F. McEwan and C.

BEARCATS 4—PARKHILL 2 The Bearcats, Clinton's contribu- tion to the N.W.O•H.A., made their debut at the local arena list Thurs- day'night, when they took on the vis- iting Parkhill aggregation, and, they whipped them 4 to 2. A. small crowd was in attendance, and the ice was keen. The game had ,everything from a•.broken bottle, that someone tossed on the ice, to a fight, and the fans surae got their money's worth. Kennedy scored 3 of the Bearcats 4 goals, Combe got the other. Pedlar and Elson scored for 'Parkhill. Clinton opened the scoring in the first when Kennedy converted Glid- den's pass into the first. goal. Park- hill scored. two.goals in quick' suttee-. sion to take the lead. However Ken- nedy and Hawkins tied it up before the period ended. Kennedy put the Bearcats ahead in, the second on a pass from Iiawkins. Parkhill, had several chalices but Livermore in the nets for. the Bear- cats couldn't be beat, The period' ended 3.2. Shortly after the start or the third (Continued ,on page 4) HOSPITAL PARTY OFF Owing to the inclement weather and a es' • also to the number of Can of illness of one sort and another the Hospital Board decided to postpone the card party and dance which was announced to be held this evening in the town hall. This is the second postponement and the executive suggests that if any private individuals wish, the board would appreciate very much their giving little parties at their own homes. In this way perhaps the funds needed might be raised without the larger effort. But anyway, the party is off .for this evening and until further notice. WE ARE INDEBTED We are indebted to a friend in Eng- land for copies of several English newspapers giving news of the death given in turn to grocers, butchers, and funeral of the late King George- etc. and he said he had stipulated V.

Reeve Elliott. and Councillor Walker made a me - don that the' street committee do, • whatever was necessary in this case. Chairman Murdoch of the Cemetery- ' Committee reported an expenditure - of $57.36 during the Month, including- the ncludingthe salary of caretaker and other ite ems, such as the town's share of a. snow fence,f receipts o $4'7.00. and He also recommended the ptirchase, of a stove for the caretaker's office.. The report was accepted. Chairman Walker of the Property Committee reported the basement cleaned up, heat pipes cleared out . and a general tidying up of the `town hall premises.

Mr. Frank Finglancl was re -ap- pointed a member of the Clinton Collegiate Board by the Huron Coun- ty Council last week. The Junior Hockey team is putting on a Carnival in the local rink Satur- day evening. Fi•om present indica- tions there will be good ice. The annual meeting' of the County L.O.L., which was to have been held in Exeter Tuesday, was postponed on account of the blocked roads, until Tuesday next, Feb.' 11th. • Mr. Guy Hicks, who has efficient- ly filled the office of town engineer for the past seven years, has hand- ed in his resignation to the council. A successor has not yet been ap- pointed. Miss Marion Gibbings of Clinton will sing one number over CFPL Lon- don, each Thursday evening. :This. week Miss Gibbings will sing "Pale Moon." Her number occurs between 7.45 and 8.15. The Goderich ' Lions enter- tained the members of the Huron County Council to a banquet one ev- ening last week,' Clinton's reeve, Mr.. George H. Elliott is reported to have' spoken in favor of forming subh an organization in Clinton. It might be all right, too. DIED IN CALIFORNIA Word has copse of the death in Monrovia, Calif., of Mrs. Percy Ladd, though particulars are not to hand at time of writing. Mrs, Ladd was the only child of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Cooper of Clinton. She, . went to California some years ago for the benefit of her health, and has since resided there. Clinton friends remember her as a bright and, attractive girl QUITE A FEAT We sometimes hear of the one- man street cars in the different cit- ies,•and with some folk, they do not, seem to: bemuch in favor. But the other day we saw a man perforin 'a feat which looked as if he were go- ing one better than that. He was bringing two loads of wood into town, piled on two sleighs, each with its, team of horses, but only one driv-, er. The driver stood on the side of the front sleigh, driving one team and leading the other. They seemed to be getting along all right, too. It: was clearly a case of saving the ser- vices of one man and, so far as we, could see it was working out all. right. We do not know how far he had come or if it is his, general !node of bringing wood to market. AN EXPERIENCE Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Thompson of Goderich 'township. had an unusual: experience our Tuesday, when the wind was blowing a gale and the. mercury was dropping every, minute.. On the outside door being opened in, flew a little bird; a.. sparrow. The little visitor did not seem to be at all. frightened by its new surroundings but set on the arm of its host while he read the newspaper, or on the edge of . -the sewing machine where its hostesswas engaged. Later, when warined and fed, the door was open- ed and it had an opportunity of fly- ing off, but it immediately flew back. again into the warmth and safety • of its new. quarters. "I never saw a, wild bird so tame," remarlced Mr Thompson. It probably knew a goods thing when it saw 'one. The usual bylaw, appointing • offi- cers for the town, was not passed at Monday's council meeting but an ad- vertisement is being published for applications for the position of clay. constable. A special meeting will be held to make the appointments. • • A citizen remarked on Saturday morning, in commenting on the white- wash of the Seaforth Beavers by the Clinton Colts in 2. hockey game Fri- day night ri-day..night :-"Those Seaforth boys heard that the Clinton players had measles and they didn't•want to -eon - tact them for. fear of infection"
