LOST IN THE STORM Two Clinton young men had an ex- perience which may be all' right to look back 'upon, but Which at the time was not particularly enjoyable Messrs.- J. N, Hobbs "'of the Royal Bank Staff and Mr. John Cuninghame. started off Saturday, afternoon on skis for the Cuninghame'cottage at Bayfield, intending to spend the night there.- They struck off through fields and 'woods and:getting out of sight of roadway or landmark: they lost their way and wnadered abuot a bit without making .any headway, until they, finally 'came out on a road and made• their way home, arriving at a- bout eleven, o'clock. As, 'they were to telephone on reaching. their destination there was some anxiety felt before their arrival. It was a stormy afternoon and it would be easy to • miss one's way, Without landmarks or guides, and when dusk fellthe case became more serious. KINCARDINE PROTESTED The Kineardine Hockey authorities made a protest to the O. H. A. head- quarters over the inability of the Clinton team to go up to that town to play a return game last Satur- day evening. The Clinton boys started out Sat- urday afternoon, over snowcovered roads, and got out as far as Londes- boro. Thereabouts they met the county snowplow operator, who told them there was no use going on as, they could not get through. Then roads were bad enough as far as they had gone and the news that they could not get all the waywas not surprising and, after some consult- ation they decided to return. If the snowplow could not malte'it,there was little use of a couple of cars attemp- ting it. It was a very= bad night that the Kincardine boys -came to Clinton, but a lot of snow has fallen and banked up since then. The game is to be played Satur- day of this week and unless the weather clears considerably the jour- ney will be made by train. NEW PIANO MODEL It is certainly a beautiful' instru- ment and should find a ready sale, as we all hope it will. We are speaking of the new piano which is being now turned out by the Sherlock -Manning Pianos, Ltd., Clin- ton, which if you have not seen you ought to lookup. • The instrument is a sort of a cross between a grand and en upright, we believe they call it the Grandette, or something like that, and it is a very handsome piece of furniture and also 'a very useful, machine for the man- ufacturing of sweet music, if you happen to be able to manipulate the keys. •- The new piano is much smaller and neater than the usual upright and much handsomer than the Tom Thumb style with which we are more or less familiar. It is built of art walnut, matched beautifully so that the grain of the wood delights the eye, especial- ly if you happen to have an eye for, pretty wood; it is finished without. 'varnish, the wood being but slightly stained :and finished to preserve the surface and to show the natural grain of the wood. It is built on gracefully curved lines and when closed is a very handsome piece of furniture,' which would add to the furnishing of any room, without dom. Mating it. And its• music -making in- terior has not been overlooked for its tone is rich and pleasing. Mr. A. A. Pegg, who is now•pres- ident of the company, is doing all he can to overcome thepresent slackness in the piano business and he is hoping that this new model will attract the trade and capture the eye of those in the market for a piano. We imagine that it will, as so Many people now live in apartments or, in snmall•houses,,, where a large piano lanes mtps great deal of room, and by sheer s(zc,has atendency to dominiatc ,the • modern living room. This very han•brome and modest in- strument, in '', • rDntrary, while it would look es ; • any -room, will look more at hem.' in a small one than the larger 'instrument. While the local factory has not /Seen too busy for some time, yet they have just lately been . remodelling a number of instruments for another firm, making over' player pianos into old-fashioned pianos, removing the player parts. We hope, however, that the firm- will soon be et) busy filling orders for their new model that they will not be able to, accept such. com- missions. It would be great to see that factory working to capacity a- gain. Here's good luck to the "Grand- ette"' AGAIN POSTPONED .. • Tie South Huron L,O.L,. annual meeting, which had to be postponed from. the 4th, was again postponed on Tuesday, this time for two weekas in the hope that weather conditions will improve in that time.

A The play which was being pre- pared by the A.Y.P.A, Dramatic Club of St. Paul's has had to be poseponed on account of the illness of a number who were taking part. The fire alarm was -sounded last Friday evening, the wall of Riley's grocery having caught fire from a blow torch used for thawing out a frozen pipe. Little damage was done and it was unnecessary to turn on the hose when the fire-fighters ar- rived. When " the sister of the late Fred Button was being taken out for bur- ial in England' a few weeks ago the relatives received the cable telling them of the sudden death of .the brother here.
