New Hamburg "Hamburgers" battled to a two -ail ova ertime tie in the local arena on Tues `day night, in what proved to M. as close a game and as tough a one as the locals have played in some time. The "Hamburgers", on soft ice were at a great advantage, being a strong, heavy team, and were particularly, strong defensively. They have the heaviest defenceman that has stepped on local ice for years, in a young chap by the name of Sparrer, who weighs 250 lbs. With this big lad in the road to the goal, the Colts were either obliged to skate around him or take a bumping, arid it was just like bumping into a brick wall. The first period was scorless and the Colts simply could not get click- ing. A rolling puck was always the case andof b h teams overskated it at the most opportune tines. Both goal - tenders saved some nice ones. The period ended without' a score. New Hamburg, led by their big "Hamburger," took the lead in the se- cond period, when Sparrer barged his way in on Stade for the first goal of the game. Exactly seven minutes lat- er Meihm put New Hamburg ahead 2-0 and they had a decided edge in the play up to this point., But in the last half of the period the Colts came to life and the play was inside of New Hamburg's blue Iine. The locals, how- ever, seemed to be the scoreless won- ders and it was impossible for them to get a goal. The period ended 2-0 for New Hamburg, and things looked really dark for the Colts. "Red"Rath brought the local fans to their feet three minutes after the last period conmented,•when he took a passout from Holmes, and finally beat Pfaff in the Hamburg net. Pfaff up to this bine was invincible. With the period half over, Ken, Pickett was finally rewarded when he banged home his own rebound for the tieing counter, Previous to this Clinton had had two goals called back by Referee McCully. For the rest of the period the Colts tried valiantly to break the tie, and New Hamburg seemed content to play for a tie. The third period ended 2-2. -• In the overtime the Colts continued the pressure but with a good goal - tender and a man like Sparrer, and very poor ice, the task proved hope- less. The game ended in a two -all tie. One thing we haven't heard since is "I hope its's a close game -no more of those one-sided affairs for me," This one was plenty close, and the Hamburgers were good value for the tie. The Colts go right back at thein tomorrow night. in New Hamburg. It is expected Harold Gibbs will join them in this game. Had - "Gibbie" been on deck Tuesday it might have (Continued on page 4) Doesn't Now Want University Presidency' The following despatch from Madi- son, Wis., in Monday's daily papers refers to a brother of Mrs. A. T. Coo- per of town. He's an old Kincardine boy. The probability is that he would long ago have been president, of this University, but for the influence of Lafollettes, who were pro-Germon in the Great War, and resented' Prof. Sellery's pro -Ally attitude: "Thrust into the presidency of the University of Wisconsin as a "pinch hitter," George Clark Sellery, be- spectacled, white-haired dean of the College of Letters and Science, called 3,000 faculty members into conference today. . He planned to ask them for support during his temporary regime as successor to Dr. Glenn Frank, .dis- missed by the board of regents. He acknowledged the appointment as a "surprise," but immediately mov- ed for restoration of peace on a strife - torn campus. He emphasized he does- n't want to_ be president perhanently, and will retain his deanship. Although gruff and outspoken in official actions, and dubbed "The Old Tory", by students, Dean Sellery has a ready smile And sometimes a hum- orous story for informal occasions. Hewas appointed to the deanship in 1919 shortly after he and two other faculty members circulated : a peti- tion asking the United States Senate to expel the late Robert M. Lafollette, Sr., for his attitude -toward this country's entry into the Great War. Sellery was born in Kincardine, January 21, 1872, received his Bach- elor of Arts degree from the Univer- sity of Toronto nto 1 anda to of 7 in 897, came Wisconsin directly from the Univer- sity of Chicago where he was granted his Ph. D., in 1901, He has taught history,- courses continuously and is the author of several widely -used textbooks." THE HOME PA:PEI: They Expect Colts To Win The following is from the sport page of The Stratford Beacon -Her- ald: "The Tavistock huskies took e. beat- ing from Clinton Colts, in the. Huron. County town, but they're not feeling too embarrassed over that, because a lot of clubs are likely to suffer the samefate at the hands: of the speedy Oolts,who won the WQ.I3,A. inter- mediate crown last season."

The new Town Council met Monde forenoon and took the oath of offic before Town Clerk Manning, and als for the second time within the twel months, the oath of allegiance to new King, It was only last winter, month. Or so. later than this, 'th t fealty to King Edward VIII wa sworn; On Monday Mayor and coun cillors swore allegiance to Kin George VI., the clerk having previou ly taken the oath before Col. Rance, A striking committee was appointe comprised of Councillors Elliott an Paisley, Reeve Livermore, and th mayor, and then the council adjouri ed to meet again that evening. They met early, for some reason wanting to save a good heel of th evening afterwards. They neglecte to notify the press of this intentio and so the representative of Th News -Record arrived at eight o eloc to find the business pretty well fin ished. But with the aid of the clef and the mayor we were able to get fairly good report of the transaction All members were present in th evening and on taking their place Mayor, Holmes asked Rev. G. G. Bi ton to come forward and open th proceedings, which he did in a bra prayer. • The Mayor then addressed th council as follows: "Gentlemen: In addressing. you at this, our inaugural meeting, my re- marks will be brief. I am surely grateful that since I have again been honored with the Mayor's chair, .that I am to be sur- rounded with most of the council tha I have worked with for' some years During these years our meetings hay been conducted with harmony, whic I feel confident will continue throug the year upon which we have entered It surely seems to inc that the tow is fortunate to have men such as you are to continue year after year to take an interest in the welfare of the coin munity. Also I ani please) to have in our council Controller Fred Johnston, who has had considerable experience dur- ing which time he displayed outstand- ing talents as a councillor, and I am quite sure we will have the influence of his ability in our council meetings this year. It gives me more than ordinary pleasure to welcome Councillor _Nedi- ger. He represents what we might call 'the rising generation' and it aug- urs well for a community to have the younger people taking an interest in the town and its affairs, I feel that Councillor Nediger• will find it time well spent, and that he will receive valuable experience. As an example of the harmony we have enjoyed, Ex -reeve Elliott gal- lantly stepped aside and presented Reeve Livermore with the promotion, which, through long years as a coun- cillor, he has earned,.and I also trust that Reeve Livermore will find vain - able experience in the broader field of County Council work. It has. been a pleasure to see the interest people are taking in some parts of the town, in beautifying their properties and also the streets adja- cent to their properties, This is to be commended as it makes our town much more pleasant for us, who live here, and also snakes a ;good.•impres- sion on those who drive through - our community. May I ask for' a continuance of 'law observance, especially at this time, when there seems to be a letting down of the' bars in some places, also, I would suggest that every courtesy and kindness be shown by the citizens, and our law enforcement officers to guide those who seem to.lean to looseness, carelessness or indifference to our laws, and bylaws,: rather than in cre- acing police Court Cases. Let us keep a good name for our town, because it is our town." Reeve Livermore replied briefly al- so expressing appreciation of Mr. E1- liott's courtesy in stepping out and al- lowing hien his seat unopposed, and, Councillor Elliott also replied briefly to the mayor's speech. The following report from the standing .committee was presented ap- pointing the following standing com- mittees for the year: Street—Paisley, Elliott, Livermore, Johnston. Finance—Elliott, Paisley, Johnston. Cemetery—Elliott, Nediger, Liver- more. Fire & Water Livermore, Cook, Walker.

This s municipality will .benefit from this. arrangement, no doubt a sfew a i - e, pay in- s come taxes, but some ,of the larger Bin cities, as for instance, Toronto, are o protesting against it. of Councillor Cook introduced the mat- ter of central heating for the public e buildings, suggesting that he believed it could be done at a saving, when the system had been installed. Coun- cillor Walker also spoke in favor of it and it was finally, on motion of Councillors Elliott and Cook, left with the property committee to make in- quiries and report at the next meet- ing of council. This central heating system would e take care 'of the town hall, including r h the Clerk's office, board room, etc. h and the Public Library, and, so it was surmised, some nearby residences and n business places would be glad to re- ceive heat should it be established, Mayor Holmes said it was well worth considering and he was glad to see councillors had been giving some thought to public affairs.

In speaking of finances • Mrs. Lane referred to 2 Cor. 8-15. She said depression, affliction and. deep poverty did .not put the Mace- donians on the poor fund. They seem- ed to be in a fix but this painful ex- perience increased instead of lessen- ed essened their contribution. They begged the apostles to take their gifts and, pass them on. What was their sec- ret? Apparently they gave themsel- ves to the Lord; they found they had: more money than they thought they had: Ability to give is measured by grace, not by our bank account. We need to examine our stock of grace rather than count our cash on hand.. A full and comprehensive report of the work of the Presbyterial was gi- ven by Mrs. H. C. Dunlop, Goderich.. Mrs. J. C.
