Clinton Colts opened the hockey season at home last 'Fridaynight when they entertained the Seaforth Beavers in an exhibition game. The ice was good and a fair prowd saw the game which, while it did not produce an exceptionally . good brand of hoc-, key, created a lot of speculation and talk among the hockey -minded. The' game was more or less staged: in ,order -to line up a good Intermediate team for Clinton, and: it proved .a good workout for all concerned, The Beavers were composed largely of juniors, and although the final score l of 0-3 would indicate a one-sidecl af- fair, the Seaforth lads were not dis- graced by any means, and they should be a tough outfit in the junior cir- cuit. Leppard was their most effec- tive •man, scoring all three goals for his team. The Clinton management jockeyed their lines considerably, due Anitting Company Makes to the fact that they had ahnost e- 1nougli players for two teams, and - Merry' this was the reason that abetter l The Clinton I{Hitting• Company had brand of passing plays were not their annual Christmas Harty in the produced.

The train leaves London at seven -thirty and will return Christ- mas Night, leaving Wingham at six thirty. This will allow a number of people employed in London and at in- tervening points to eat Christmas dip- per at home in Huron or Bruce and to be back at their posts again on Saturday morning.

The day will be observed quietly ow- ing to the recent bereavement in the family. Congratulations are in order. A Creditable Production The 'Seaforth Collegiate Institute Alumni Year Book has again .come to our desk and it is, as usual, a very creditable production. It is bound in red and gold this year and the con- tents are up to the high standard ori - I ginally set by this Alumni Associa- tion years ago, or perhaps a bit be- 4yond. It is a periodical which should be, and we doubt not, is, highly priz- ed by former students of that insti- ,,tution, as it carries news of many `former students who have won a place for themselves in the great out- side world. When we say that the editor is A. Y. McLean it is as good as saying that the book lacks little of what may be imparted to any publi- :cation by a first class editor. ' Colts gradually took the lead and Messrs. Lewis and Shnonds of Tor-, continued to pile up the goals until onto. the total reached 9-3. Amateur hockey has practically adopted pro. rules this year, one of these' being the penalty shot, and the Colts had an opportunity to try it out in this game, when: a Seaforth play- er tripped a Clinton player from be- hind after he had broken clear with only the goaltender to beat. Kel. Streets was elected for this very! delicate duty, and Kel. didn't do bad either, The puck was placed in a cilele, about 35 feet out from, 'and I directly in front of the net, Streets winds up from his own blue line, with all the players looking on, I e - s ecsallY the Seaforth goalie, and comes tearing down, makes " a nice shot, which the Seaforth goalie gets in the way of, Kel, skates in and bangs in the rebound; everybody cheers, but its no go. Referee Thorn - dyke calls for a face-off by the side of the net; the reason: because there is no second chance on a, penalty shot, you must score on the first shot. The new rules will undoubtedly add much to the game, but it will take both players and fans a while to get used to them. Children Receive Candy From Tree On Saturday Saturday last was not the nicest kind of a day for getting about, as snow kept falling off and on all day. But that didn't prevent a good crowd, gathering in the afternoon for the distribution of candy from the com- munity Christmas tree. Invitations had been sent to the teachers in the' Public schools of town and the surrounding community inviting' the children to the party and considering the turnout, these were accepted pretty generally, four hundred bags of candy being distri- buted. The children met at the Public. school grounds, where they were met by Santa Claus, who ted them down town and made the distribution, with many willing helpers. The merchants of town contributed the funds for this treat, while the members of the Lions Club undertook the work of packing and distribution. A number of Christmas - baskets are also being distributed, the Lions, the. Boy Scouts and others assisting' in procuring suitable supplies for each basket. Regular Lions meeting was held at One of the Colts' lines was eompos- the Rattenbury Hotel Monday at the ed of three juniors, namely Johnston, supper hour, the attendance being Draper and Campbell, and they showed up very creditably very satisfactory.

Maskell, the fourteen -year- old and only son of Mrs. Lou Mas- kell of Goderich and a nephew of Mrs. . George A. Walker of Clinton, was killed yesterday when he was struck by a train on the C.P.R. tres- tle bridge. He and a friend were walking on the trestle over the Maitland when they were surprised by seeing a train approaching. They raced for a safety zone on the bridge but young Maskell turned• to get his dog and before they reached a place of safety the train was upon them. It is not known whether the engine struck the lad or whether he jumped, releasing the pup. His body hurtled down seventy-five feet to the rocks below. The engineer on the train, as S0021 as he sighted the lads had ap- plied the emergency brake and he said if he had not stopped to get the dog the lad would have won to safe- ty. His companion escaped. The dog was crushed snider the rails. The boys were out searching for a Christmas tree. mes, F.

The Colts played a return game in Seaforth on Tuesday night and eked out a 3.2 win over the Beavers. The Beavers were on top to 1 at one stage, but Clinton banged in two goals to take .a 3-2 verdict. The Coats had only two defence players and five forwards on hand for the game, so it may be seen. they must have had a busy u Y evenin g According to reports: the Colts re- ceived quite a "feeling" reception in. Seaforth. The lads were laying on the hickory in great style, and Hol- mes and Flannery not only brought the fans to their f 't, b tathe feet, , ubo t n o ice, when they started swinging at one another. .Little Locdls Are you ad ready for tomorrow's celebration?

Therector of St. Paul's church has invited the members of other congre- gregations in town to join with his congregation at the nine -thirty ser- vice in that church on Christmas morning, a gracious and truly Chris- tian hristian courtesy.
