Sheppard was sure, as he was at the time secretary of the Canadian Or- der of Foriesters, Clinton branch, and another had to be appointed to serve out about a month of his year. Ho ]tad been in that position for nearly seven year's. Another mistake was that he had not been in partnership with his brother, Peter, as this brother was a farmer all his life. But evidently his partner was a Peter Cole, probably a cousin, or a brother-in-law, as his wife's name was Cole. He had beer's teember of the Forresters for fifty-three years, having been initiated on Feb. 15th, 1883, and died ,Feb. 15th; 1936: AMONG THE CHURCHES Presbyterian Church Sermon subject Sunday morning: "Andrew,1 T to Man of Action."

Sowerley, her hus- band and two granclehlidren, Jack and Billie, they all having ntacle their home together. Mr. and Mrs, F. Match, Messrs. T. T. and W. J. Carter attended the fun- eral in Detroit. The pallbearers were six nephews, Kenneth and Ross Carter, Sarnia, Dave, Glen and Lorne Carter and Jack Mutch of. Detroit. The floral offerings r siverem nand many beautiful. The Iate Mr.. Carter was in the hab- it of visiting his relatives here sever- al times during the summer, so had always kept up his connection with the old town. A SUGGESTION The suggestion has been made to. The News Record that Clinton might do worse than erect a mausoleum or mortuary in the cemetery in which all burials might be made during the cold winter n ei months, the casltetf Co be deposited in the 'family plots in the spring. Certain] during tg such a winter as we have experienced well a conven- ience would be appreciated. The hardships borne by relatives and all wlio had to be present at funerals during the past winter have been great, The suggestion was that a build- ing which would accommodate about twenty-five caskets would bo suffi- elena, attached to which might be a small room or chapel, where the bur- sal service could be held, doing away with the inconvenience and danger of an outside service during zero wee. thea•• Seth a convenience i 1 cne would world c t os money, of course, and there would be no' return upon investment, except in added comfort, unless the conven- ience became so popular that the cemetery would be used by a wider area, The idea is a good one and it would be even more convenient to have such a building inside the town, thus do - r 111Y away with that long, cold andof- ten almost, ' s impossible drive. How- ever, citizetls Might not care to have it 111 town. The News -Record does not take the liberty of urging the town to act upon this suggestion, but if any or- ganization * iz attcil should like to sponsor it; if anyone would like to leave a legacy tc the town to be used in this way; if the cemetery becomes so prosper- ous that it could contemplate such en improvement, well, there is the suggestion, anyway, and anyone who has ever attended a funeral in an open cemetery in the winter time cannot fail to see the practical value of siich a convenience. HAYFIELD Mr, Win. C. Johnston left on Wed- nesday of last week to spend some time in Goderich. Miss Jean M. Woods returned home on Wednesday of last week ,after having spent a couple of days in Lon- don. Miss Jean Dunn of Stanley town- ship,. is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scotchmer. Miss. Ethel Fowlie returned home on Sunday after having spent the past two months with her sister, Mrs. G., Koehler, Zurich. Mrs. Lloyd Makins returned home on Sunday after having spent a week its Toronto. Best wishes for many happy re- turns of the clay are extended to Mr. Andrew Bronson who, on February 29th, passed his twentieth birthday .and. thus joined the octogenarians of Bayfield. For the first time in the, history of St. 'Andrews United Church a radio was used, on. Sunday last, giving the congregation an opportunity of hear- ing the first Broadcast. Message to the Empire by Ring Edward VIII since his accession to the throne of, Great Britain. His voice sounded clearly, and themessage c a in e through perfectly. Itwas followed. with the singing of, the National An- them by the 'congregation, and the regular service concliteted by .the minister, Rev, R,111. Gale, who took as his text Perm 23, verse '5, "The over-' flowing cup." The Sunday School scholars of Trinity Cltthrch were 'privileged to hear .the first broadcast to the, Em- pire of King Edward VIII since the death of King George V. .through the courtesy of the Reptor who set his radio up -in the Church for that odea- Won. The broadcast was followed by the National Anthem sti g'Eby'the scholars and teachers. COLTS AGAIN GROUP CHAMIPIONS THIS YEAR. Last Night's Victory Gives Colts Group Title For Second Consecu- tive 'Year DUlt}j klli TEAM HERE MONDAY NIGHT Beareats Face Elimination Go To Kitchener To -night With a Three Goal Deficit. Arrangements were completed this morning :for the Clinton Colts to meet up with the fast travelling Durham outfit. The first game will be play- ed in Durham on. Saturday night with the return game here on MDred aY night. Fans have not forgotten the struggle these two teams had last year, with the Colts finally emerging victorious. We're all pulling for them to do it again, and we 'mow they will give their best. Favoured froin the start of the season to win the Group honours, especially •by their hometown sup- porters, the Clinton Colts last night did just that, when they shut, out the Kincardine Circle Bars by a score of 2-0 :in the third- game of the finals which was played in the Wingham arena. A crowd of well over 1,000. people, composed of supporters of both teams saw the game, a large number, from. Kincardine tame by special train, •bagpipes and all, to cheer their favourites on. There was also a good crowd from. Wingham, The Colts dropped the first game in Kincardine 4-2, the only game they have lost this year. When Kincar- dine carie here they were beaten by the overwhelming score of 11-2, and the score last night 2-0, was the de- tiding one. In the three games Clinton scored 15 goals as against 6 by Kincardine, and in the game here anti in ]ahst.night's game, the Colts looked just about that much better than the 1`C: B.'s" This is the second years the 1 o Colts have won their' group, last year ad-' vancing into the finals with Whitby. We wish them no worsehtek than that they go all the way this year again, and that they reach the much coveted goal of Intermediate B. Champions. Give the Colts hard ice and they will give any team' a real tussle. In eleven games played this o i. s agog they have b Cored 76 goals is and have had only 18 stored against theist. Now that they have won their group every game front now on is bound to be good hockey all the way, Our only hope is that ice maym bev ii a a able so that the can flu Y play their home games in the local arena instead of elsewhere. Last night's game was, as expect- ed, a close checking affair. The ice was poor, with mild weather prevail- ing, and this undoubtedly kept the score down in the small numbers. Clinton scored one in the first and again in the socond. Dyke Waters got the first one on it rush with R. Mcl!;wan. McEwan shot and Waters slappod in his rebound. Kel. Streets put the game away in the second when he and Pickett and Gibbs went in on a rush, Streets taking a pass to compete the play. Kincardine put GOES TO DOMINION CAPITAL Monday's London Free Press thus speaks of an old Huron boy: "A change in the general secre- taryship of the 'London Y. M. C.

Editorially the Free Press said the T following: g "Edward J. Jenkins, who has been. secretary of the,London Y, M. C.

It wag the: second game of the best two out of: three games, to decide the .champion• ship of Group 13 in Intermediate R. O.H.A. hockey, and deadlocked the two teams with one win each. Only in the first period did Kincar- dine show any signs of 'malting it close and then the Colts calve oft - with the score 2-0 in their favour- It. was in the second that the Colts real- ly showed the class that carried them, into the finals last year, when, they - ran aan in five goals while Kincardine was onlyable to reply p Y with one, to, make the score 7-1. The Kincardine" lads failed to maintain the fast clip, set by the Colts and the result was a: runaway for the latter. There pas-• sing plays were great to watch, the kind that keep the fans on their toes: all the time. The third stanza was a repetition of' the second, the Colts counting four- more our mr 0 e to .

The line of 'Streets, Pickett and Gibbs were prominent in the scoring with eightofe•vn I theeleven goes coming gmn off' g g their sticks. Gibbs, who was' world ing like a well-oiled 'machine, Led:; with 4 goals, to be followed closely. by the equally alert Streets with 3,..

Holmes came into his own:. when he scored two nice ones, and; while the McEwan boys did not net any goals, on several occasions they laid 'down a nice barage of checks when the team was short handed:. "Red" Rath who has been .going great guns lately accounted for one goat. "Dyke" Waters broke away. once and with only one man to beats skated. in on Thompson, but some- thing went haywire and Dyke mis- sed his onee� ,,,big moment.
