In what proved the best game of hockey played here this year, Clinton Colts handed Stratford Indians a 5-0 drubbing on Tuesday night. The ice was keen and a capacity crowd was in attendance, and this time were not disappointed. The teams were more evenly matched than the score would indicate, Stade in the Clinton nets, , was theonly thing that kept the score from being closer. He stopped every- thing the Indians fired at him and they just couldn't beat him. The Colts showed some of their old-time form and were skating faster and checking harder than in previous games. The pace was fast and furious from the first bell. Both goalies were cal- led on to make close -in saves. Stade saved one with a Stratford man right in on top of him.. McEwan missed the net by inches. Several other players missed ,only by erratic shooting. Streets drew the only .penalty of this period but Clinton held on. Half way through F. McEwan rifted the puck into the net over Doherty's prostrate body, but. McKay was in the crease and the goal was disallowed. The period ran out with no score. The second period started out very fast. Pickett was in twice only to miss. Knight was in for Stratford but was off balance. After four min- utes Streets finally beat Doherty for the first goal. A minute later, Ken- nedy scored the Colts second one when he shot homes rebound. . R d Clinton played short-handed twice and it was then that Stade really showed his ability. He made several marvel- ous saves and had the fans cheering him lustily. Holmes was penalized twice and Fiebig was off for Strat- ford. R. McEwan scored Clinton's third goal after twelve minutes had elapsed. Stratford came back des- perately but could not penetrate n stout Clinton defence. McKay receiv- ed a gash on the head just after the start of the period when "Red" Rath's swinging stick caught him and open- ed a gash that necessitated his retire- ment for the rest of the period. Clin- ton was leading 3-0 at the end of the period. After three minutes of play in the third period, Don McKay picked up "Bonnie"' Foster's pass -out to in- crease the Colts lead to 4-0. The Colts eased up and played careful hockey trying to secure a shut -out for Stade, and he sure deserved it. Stratford forced the play but just couldn't put one in the net. Feibig was sent off for tripping and immediately "Bon- nie" Foster and R. McEwan wound up the scoring, McEwan taking Foster's pass out for goal No. 5. On the night's play the Indians de- served a better fate, but on the oth- er hand Stade deserved a shut -out, and the locals took the ice intent on that one thing in the final period. The whole Clinton team showed a Vast improvement in form over for- mer games. Just give the boys good ice for practice and for the games and come and watch them go to town in future games. Stratford has a good team and the Colts had to go wide open all the way to beat thein,_ Clinton — Goal, Stacie; defence, Rath, McKay; Centre, Pickett; wings, Holmes, F. McEwan; .subs, R.

COLTS TAKE A LICKING The Colts sustained their first loss of the season at the hands of New Hamburg's "Hamburgers", in New Hamburg last Friday night when they were trimmed 4 to 2. New Hamburg had a wide edge in the play through- out, and up until they received a cou- ple of penalties in the last period, were leading the Colts 4 to 0. How- ever with New. Hamburg twomen short,. Clinton rattled home a pair of goals to save a whitewashing, Pickett and McKay' being the marksmen. Sparrer, New Hamburg's 250 pound defenceman, played a stellar game and scored half of his teams goals. New Hamburg have a fast, strong team, and the Colts are going to have to tend their knitting if they hope to get anywhere against them. These two teams had previously played a tie game here.

THE HOME PAPER' Juniors Take Real Drubbing Clinton Juniors received quite, a jolt on Monday night when Strat- ford's "Minor B's" handed them a 7 to 1 drubbing in the local arena. The score was all the more 'surprising owing to the fact that the Clinton kids had previously beaten Stratford on Stratford ice. Right from the drop of the puck the Stratford lads forced the pace, and continued to do so for the entire game.. McAtee, their flashy little centre player, led the way with a total of four out of seveng oals.- Clintonkids,although skating g hard, could make no headway, due to the fact that any sort of. team play was sadly On the oth- er lacking. g hand Stratford proved, themselves real opportunists in the art of pick- ing up loose pucks. Several of their goals were scored in this manner, but several were the results of seine nice playing too. McAtee started things going when he shot the first one past Neilans after 7 minutes of the first period had. elapsed. Seven minutes later he put his team two up. Two .more goals by Furlong and Pigeon, both scored within a minute of each other rather knocked the wind out of the lo- cal kids. Clinton held them a little better in the second when Stratford got only one goal. Again it was McAtee who scored. Draper was in for a couple of chances but Hess, Stratford's 14 - year -old goalie, outwitted him every - time, Stratford played two men short at one time, when Hayter and McAtee were penalized, but they hung on desperatels and held the locals off. The period ended 5-0 for stratford. After six minutes of play in the Iast period "Cher" Neilans saved the locals from a whitewashing when he banged one in from a scramble, but Stratford soon got that one back and again it was this kid, McAtee, who shot the puck home. Pigeon ,rade it seven a couple of minutes later, and the bell rang to end a one-sided tus- sle. A small crowd was in atten- dance. The ice was fairly good, con- sidering the mild weather over the week -end. For the visitors, McAtee and Pig- eon looked' good, particularly McAtee, who ran loose most of the time. Had this lad been checked the game would have had an entirely different aspect. For Clinton Chester Neilans was the only player who looked or played near up to form. The line-up: Clinton — Goal, Clarence Neilans; defence, Johnston, Hovey; centre, Campbell; wings, Draper, Chester Neilans; Subs, Riley, Kennedy, Law- son, Finch, Seeley. Stratford—Goal, Hess; sub, Huras; defence, Groves, Hayter; centre, Pig- eon; wings, McEwen, McKay; subs, Ogden, McAtee, Furlong, Gardiner, Banks. Referee -Rath, Clinton. The local Juniors entertain the St. Marys club tonight. at the local arena and on Monday night Seaforth come here. These two games are the only games scheduled for Clinton far the next two weeks, the Colts not play- ing here again until Feb. 3rd. Be on hand to -night and give the Jun- iors a boost. They can • stand it, both financially and morally. The Fourth Estate Sometimes you hear people ask: "Why are newspaper men called members of the "Fourth Estatel'? Where did this term originate? And if this profession is the "fourth", what are the first three? Here is the answer, Carlyle, in his "Heroes and Hero Worship," said. "Burke said there were Three Estates in Parlia- ment; but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder there sat a fourth estate more important far than they all. The Three Estates of the Realm are Lords Spiritual, Lords Temporal and the Commons." H. and S. Club Heard Inter- esting Address Tuesday The Home and School' Club met in the Collegiate auditorium on Tuesday evening, Mrs. Gordon Cuninghame, president, in the chair. Arrangements were made for the celebrating of "Founder's Day" next month and also some arrangements were made about costumes for the School Concert later on. The address of the evening was gi- ven by Mr. M. T. Corless, who gave a very informing and interesting talk on the "Process and Development of Mining Nickle and Copper Ores.' Mr. Corless, who spent some years in the mining district in the north, described the process of mining nickle and cop- per, also of the development of the water power and the use of bye-pro ducts. He also had specimens of ores, a miner'e lamps and some tools. used in the work. He was listened to with much interest. During the evening Mrs. W. A. Oakes and Miss Elva Wiltse each con- tributed a charming solo, each re- sponding to an encore. Listen To Advice Of M.O.H. Dr. Shaw, Medical Officer of Health, asks us to pass on his advice against congregating in crowds or go- ing visiting much just at present, for fear of catching the flu. And he asks especially that visiting at the Hospital be discontinued for a time. Clinton has very little if any flu, but nobody knows just what may develope from an apparently simple cold. It is bet- ter to be safe than sorry. Little Locals Some correspondence and other matter has been unavoidably crowded out this week. Miss Bernice Steep underwent a minor ankle operation in Clinton Hos- pital Wednesday morning. Lower school examinations will be- gin on June 22nd this year and end June 29th. Entrance. Exams start June 23rd. -Sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Ja- cob of the Huron County Home in the death of her mother, Mrs. Jacob Link of Stephen. . Mr. W, 11.

Mr. Stewart of Seaforth delighted all present with his contribution of Scotch songs and in replying to the toast to Burns, the Rev.

Club gathered for their annual met- ing, Mr. Thos. Elliott noticed that the Fred Elliott home was on fire.. He gave the alarm and in almost no time a crowd of helpers had gather-. ed. It was found impossible to quench3 the fire, so they turned their minds. to saving the contents. Most of the furniture and house furnishings were saved as the house burnt very slowly being concrete. This was one of the old landmarks having been erected by Fred's father seventy-five years ago,. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott wish to thank all those who worked so faithfully and removed the furniture so care- fully. Very little was broken, or de- stroyed as is so often the case when things are carelessly thrown out. At. present Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are. making their home with a neighbor, Wilmer Harrison, and will commence building in a few days, health and, weather permitting. It is said trouble never comes sin- gle-handed and it looks like it in this case as Mr. Elliott's brother, Will, was taken the next day to Goderich' hospital where he underwent a critical' operation. At last reports he was improving, but not out of danger. The entire community sympathize with, the Elliott family in their troubles. The Men's Club held . their inter- rupted annual meeting Tuesday night. Monday night the auditor's meet- ing of Grace church was held at the home of Mr. and Mis. John Torrance,, where the stewards and their wives were entertained and enjoyed a real banquet, seventeen sitting down to dinner, after which the books were, audited and a substantial increase ov- er last year noted. This speaks well for the church. The annual meeting • will be held on Friday in Grace church. On Thursday evening of this week the election of officers for the young' People's Society will be held. On Friday, Jan. 29th, preparatory service will be held in Grace church. when anyone wishingto, join the, church will be welcomed, also, any seeking baptism. On Sunday, Jan. 31st, Sacrament' of the Lord's Supper will be admin-• istered.
