DAVIS.& HERMAN CLEANING, PRESSING' AND REPAIRING Win In Brantford (Continued from page 1) of carloads went clown. Also severai' carloads of former Clintonians .now residing in Toronto and Hamilton a- vailed themselves of the opportunity pp Y to see the Colts in action. The game was fast and wide-open with the Colts having an edge in ter- ritorial play. Both goaltenders were outstanding, with Lafortune looking particularly smart, A scoreless first period had the fans on the edge of their seats and only good goaltending kept the red light from flashing.''. Two early goals in the second per- iod shot Siincoe'into the lead, Haber mill scored both goals, the first on a pass from Esselthie. Before the per- iod ended however the speedy Colts hacl knotted the count on goals by F. McEwan and Ken. Pickett, and the second period ended as had the first, in a tie. Kel. Streets got the million dollar goal when the final period was over the half -way mark. Streets breezed in to take Rath's pass to break ups a close game and gave Clinton a one - goal margin with which to return for the second engagement. Spectacular goaltending onthe part of Lafortune was perhaps one of the big reasons for the close score. Stade, too was good, in the local nets.

Zavitz Stresses Need of Refores- tatien Scheme in Ontario 'As a result of the depletion of alum forests, 24 hours after a heavy rain has fallen anywhere in this coun- ty the water is all h Lake Ontario," Mr. E. Zavitz, provincial forester, said addressing the :second annual Halton seed fair in Georgetown town hall :Saturday. "There is no doubt that the terrible drought conditions prevalent last year were the direct result of the `slashing' of timber which acts as a sort of water basin supplies. Thous - :ands of acres Have been mistakenly cleared, on whichmoney will have to be spent in theen near future for very rehabilitation,' he said. Mr. Zavitz maintained that if more attention' had' been paid . to refores- tation during the last half century therecent floods which cost the,Uni- ied St,,etes hundreds •,oi :;millions of dollars could have been avoided to a great extent. • • "It is alarming to note that in Ontario there are 135 municipalities with less than five per cent. of their total acreage in forest. In Europe, a large number of Countries have from 15 to 17 per cent, in forest," said Mr. Zavitz. • "In some municipalities in Europe there is enough forest to pay expen- ditures incurredby certain public 1 utilities," he said, emphasizing the fact that reforestation was a good in- vestment for any county in Ontario M make. Pointing out that there are 10 counties in Ontario with forests rare:big in acreage from 1,000 to 2,000, Mr. Zavitz stated a great many other counties were completing' ar- rangements to purchase land for re- foresting as a water conservation ef- fort, "So much _publicity has been, given to this scheme that there has been a terrific demand for trees, and the material we set aside for distribution is almost exhausted." • —Toronto Daily Star. Chatham Checked 00 List Clinton Colts defeated Chatham in the deciding game of their series on Friday night last by a score of 5 to 1. The game was featured by some fast, wide-open hockey and plenty of stiff body -checking, in which department the visitors excelled. A capacity crowd was in attendance. With a four -goal lead to start with the Colts were never in danger and at the end of the first they led 1-0. At the end of the second it was 3-1, and•they scored two more in the last stanza to win 5 to 1. Streets opened the scoring with the only counter of the first period when he accepted a pass from Pickett. Chatham tied it in the second on a goal by Boyes. F. McEwan put the Colts ahead on R. McEwan's assist, and as the period ran out Rath scored alone. • In the third R. McEwan got Clin- ton's fourth on. McKay's assist and Foster and F. McEwan made it 6-1 just before the bell sounded to end the game. Clinton won the game 6 to 1, and the round 11 to 3. Quite a number of penalties were handed out by "Speedy" Oliver, Stov- er, burly Chatham defenceman, was given a major in the second period, and at times the game threatened to become rough, but Oliver kept things under control at all -times.

Holmes received the following letter which will be of in- terest -to Local hockey fans: "Chatham, Ont., Mar. 17th, 1937 Mr. W. S. R. Holmes, Mayor, Clinton, Ont, Dear Mr. Holmes: Thank you for your letter and thekind compliment expressed therein, May 1 say that the Clinton Hockey team made a decided impression with the local fans. I heard on the streets' the following day many' favourable comments about the personnel of the team and also on their play. Although being a southern city, we see much hockey and good hockey. The 11.1-0 league is of high calibre and the local Maroons are as very good team. The Queens team is the second team oper- ated mainly for developing players for the Maroons, Up to the time 'they met the Clinton boys they had things pretty well' their own way but after the first period of that game here they were the inferior team. The part that impressed rue about thg Clinton boys was the way they played their positions, making then always dangerous on break aways. Their passing was good and their shooting quite deadly, especially Frank Mc - Ewan whose two goals were in my opinion the prizes of the night. I air glad that the game was re- ceived by the fans in Clinton over the air, and that they enjoyed it as much as you say. Thank you againfor your thoughtfulness in writing me and may I extend my best wishes to the hockey tears for their continued success in the play -downs. Yours very truly, —Len. Wilson,' Colts Should Be Known Now Here are a couple of clippings from Monday's Brantford Expositor refer- s n the • between Clinton gto game g nand Simcoe which was played in Brant- ford: The two teams are the best in Western Ontario in .the 0.I.A, Inter- mediate B section and will meet here in the first game to see who will Malcolm MacTaggart, 'Sr, and will be remembered by 'many in Clinton. and vicinity: "The death of Miss Agnes Cowing, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cowing of Ratho,'occurred at Victoria hospital: at London, March 5th, following a brief illness.

The team has been looked over by local men who travel that way and the reports are good, "The players are strong and came through the recent series in good shape.” Well, we imagine by this time they trust know a little 'more about the Colts, after the two hectic struggles the two teams engaged in. Future Games Most Likely In Stratford It is highly probably that all fu- ture home games • will be played in the Stratford arena. Weat- her • conditions , are very uncertain and the local ice service can not be p depended en de '. upon, next o so the Lex best P thing is the artificial ice in Stratford. The Stratford arena is considerably more comfortable than the local one, and fans will have, less trouble get- ting seats, and more comfortable ones when they do • get then, BRUCEFIELD • John F.
