Udder Way Next Week At Latest. Goderich Juveniles Defeat Clinton's Imps Hockey happenings have been very scarce this 'last. couple of weeks, due chiefly 'to ,,,the very stormy weather and the almost impossible travelling conditions on the highways, Local fans have not seen a'gante for nearly three weeks and we don't know' at present wl on we will seee do al- though the , play-offs, should conn= menee this ,week -end, and the Colts will likely play their first game: a- way from hone. They are all ready and it will take well over a weak; to decide a -winner, and it is, getting very close to the first of March, and that sounds like ',bad newsfor small towns depending. -on .the elements for Ice. It will be just too- bad if March turns the tables and gives us the opposite to wait February has done,—we mean for the hockey `team,' not so bad for the coal bin. , The Colts got into action last Sat- urday in Kincardine after a long fay, -off, and came home with nothing worse than a 2-2 tie. The gaine, ac- cording to reports was rough and fast. The locals say they should have given a better account of themselves, but . just weren't clicking. The trip was made by train and necessitated a stop-ever'for the, week- end, which in this day' and age, costs money. If this weather continues the teams will all have- to take to the, trains if they hope to get, anywhere i before the break-up comes.' The following -is all we could get on Saturday's game: Clinton Colts kept their record of no•defeats intact when they earned a 2-2 draw with Kincardine Circle -Bars in an evertime contest last Saturday night, at Kincardine. `Before the largest crowd of the season two equally matched teams battled 70 minutes without any ver - diet being given. Clinton. took the lead in the first period, Streets scor- ing, .In the second Sutherland got' the equalizer and Burrows put Kin- cardine one up. Applying the pres- sure in the final' round MacKay got Clinton's second goal.

LATE TRAINS ' Trains have been late all .week, or moat of then, snowiilows having to eun up and down several times dur- ing 'the "past - few' days, and then could not keep the tracks clear. On Tuesday,; the, train from the north did not looee'Clinton for London un- til six o'clock, Just three ho ur s late Don't know how much it lost between here and there. Yesterday it was re- ported an hour late and then it got stuck at the junction and a gang, of men had to be . despatchedto dig it our:. The life of train crews and mail couriers is net -a bed of roses these days. SOME 'SNOW BLOCKADES A great 'nuinber,of people are a bit "tired of the snow, which bas been falling and piling up since early in January Until it stands in great heaps everywhere, especially along roads and- highways. The provincial and county plows have been trying to keep the high ways open, but finding it increasing- ly -difficult ncreasing-ly-difficult. No. 8 "between here and Goderich has been blocked a time or two and in places it is like going through a tunnel to drive it, as the show is piled so high on either side. The. sideraads and concessions, farm- ers'say, have been more passable than the highways, as they^have been allowed to fi1I in a bit and now the show blows over and off them. No. 4 has been very hard to keep open and the plows gave it up last week for a while as . an impossible job, the farmers coning into town on shanks -mare for necessary; sup plies. ,On Friday the . caterpillar plow, which bad been up to Goderich on No. '8 and had opened up a road to Bayfield, came along and made a trip up vinegar hill, where a bad"blockade' had occurred. This little plow justi walked through it anti turned around and walked back again, and the road was open. Tin be sure the snow is piled fifteen feet or so on either side and 'Tuesday's blow filled' it ep again pretty badly. The plow cane -back yesterday to break this blockade a. gain smashed a spring and had to quit, A funeral crept along the fences on runners to the cemetery yesterday afternoon. The snow is even withto 1 e top of the snow, fence plac- ed last fall along this road, to be of any benefit it would need to be about twice the height. But then, we do not always have quite so much snow as :ave have had this winter., NEW 'THEATRE OPENS "The Roxy," ' Clinton's new talkie, was opened Monday night, with a fine 'crowd and 'a good picture. The picture was "Shipmates Forever," a United States navy picture, featuring Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. There was:else the usual aeeompanying'fea- bit es,' "Little Big Shot" IS being put on this evening and for the remain- der ;ef ,the week. Two shows are giv- en .every evening with two new pie - times ,each ;week. It is an ;attractive little theatre, well appointed and such a building ' as Clinton should appreciate. Tt. has seating . accommodation for two hun- dred and sixty people, The seats are very comfortable a thick -pile carpet covers foyer and aisles. There are comfortable' chairs in the foyer or waiting room,, a fireplace in the out- side' foyer and the curtains are a handsome shade of .blue. It is' equip-, ed with. Northern. Electric ' Sound system and the walls are • .finished with •the new acoustical treatment. Mr,. H.'J. Sutherland said that ail furnishings have not yet been receiv- ed, being delayed by the storm, but it looks' pretty; well furnished as it is. 'The seethe is a good size and both. seeing and 'hearing seemed very sat- isfactory, Mr•. A. Crozier is the operator but doorman and. ushers are all'tocal peo- ple. Mr. ' Sutherland ia, looking- after She' office for the time being, This is the fourth theatre in a string of five which he owns, one, at' Cobourg, be- ing rented, the others,' St, Marye, Seaforth,. Clinton and :Goderieh be- ing 'ender' itis management.' • Clinton never had a talkie before and it is a.-go.od inany years since it. had a theatre of any sort, so the citi- zens- •are. glad ittzens.are.glad to have one', to go to when they wish for that sort of enter= tainrnent. They have; been patroniz- ing' neighboring town theatres some times, but it is much handier,: 'ane cheaper to have one in Diet town. We trust that, the fact that this theatre is just across the, street fioe office will not proee-too Mitch th ch ofg"tempta- tion to our staff. SCHOOLS SLIMLY AT'TFNDED ..Thetiro s ons are being very slimly Y attended this week, owing to sickness and also blocked roads. One room -of the Public sch ool the other do.- Y had, a two "Pupils and. another five The' Collegiate is also down, fifteen or, sixteen pupils attending I n forms numbm'ing fifty or 'so. Sonie of the teachers as well its the pupils havefallen victims to the pre Veiling epidemic of measles, which is of 'a very mild type. A'SERIOUS. ACCIDENT A serious accident happened to Douglas Harness, 12 -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmore Harness, of Exeter; formerly of, Clinton, on Sat- ruday afternoon. Several boys were in behind one ofth ' stores playing cYin p g fort Mid snowballing, when .one of the lads picked up a snowball con- taining a. Piece 'of ice_ and, let it go, striking. Doug. in the eye. He was rushed . to Dr. Fletcher" who advised he be sent' to the hospital. It was thought first he would lose the eye, but it is hoped now the eye may be saved but the sight may be impair. ed. HARD ON LOCALS The Clinton Intermediate hockey team -wetrt to Kincarrdine last Satur- day to play a return match with the team in that town, the, result being a 2-2 tie. The local boys, having failed to make the trip a week ear- lier owing to bad roads, were ordered to go Saturday, rain or shine, no matter what happened, so were oblig- ed to go by train andstay the week- end in the lakeside town. This was an expensive trip,•as'they had train fare to pay and hotel bilis over the week -end, When going by train it is strange if another night could not have been chosen, when they could have returned the following day. The tocol orggnization look to 'have a legi- timate grievance for this neeclless ex- pense put upon i% HEARD FROM THE KING Mrs. James Livermore, while most of us felt sympathy for the Ring in his recent bereavement, the loss of his beloved Tether, did a Little more. She wrote to lIis Majesty expressing her sympathy, "Just," she said, "as I would to any young utan 1 know in a like ease." She had no thought of re- ceiving a reply, but site had not stop- ped to consider the courtesy of kings, for last week she received from the King's secretary the following letter: "Buckingham Palace, The Private Secretary is command- ed by the Ring to 'thank Mrs. James Livermore for her kinin message of sympathy in his great sorrow, 5th February, 1036." a This letter, we feel sure, will be carefully preserved by Mrs. Liver- more.
