Dear Sir.—Let me congratulate you and your team on your fine showing this year, The town should be highly honoured to have such a high calibre of hockey and the publicity agents you and your boys have been to it. No doubt, they will honour you in some way for this, if Mayor Holmes has anything to do with it. As far as I can remember hockey this teams, I would say that year's team was the best, although there have been some good junior teams to hold the banner high. g Those forwards of yours certainly burnt up the ice on various occasions that I saw them play; while the de- fence was a tower of strength to the team. "Punch" McEwan has certainly helped to hold the team together and kept the Colts down on their feet while fighting an up -grade battle. His brother, Frank, is following in his footsteps, good combination player and a hard worker. "Apps", Pickett has dspares ee to and the speed nicest stick handler on the team. Fos- ter hangs on to his cheek like a leech, and although only a midget in weight, knows how to hand out the body -checks. "Gibby" is tricky and circles around and around to getaway or keep the puck from his opponents. "Horner" Streets is not afraid to bump them and »asses well to his team-mates. "Red" Rath on the defence has a bullet -like drive, can fall at the blue line and . still poke the puck past the goalie. He could even play without skates (which nearly was the case with Thorold) and make the visiting team look silly. McKay and Kennedy are like stone -walls on the defence, giving, taking, and slowing up the opposing forwards on every rush. Muir is a good utility man and fits in well with any combination. "Spud" Stade has that coolness that satisfies every customer. What looks like a hard stop to the crowd is an easy mark for him. In all, Clinton should be very proud of their team and here's hoping and wishing you the best of success for many seasons to come. We know you didn't bring home the cup, but one must be a good loser as well as a winner. In fact— "It's not for the sake of a ribboned coat Or the selfish hope of a season's fame But his Captain's hand on his shoul- der smote, Play up! play up! and play the game!" Yours truly, —JACK BAWDEN. Local Scouts Will Celebrate Coronation Day The regular meeting of the 1st Clinton Lions troop of Boy Scouts was held on Friday evening last. Af- ter the opening ceremonies the boys marched to the park and played gam- es until 8.30. They then returned to their rooms and four boys, Douglas McKenzie, Dick Fremlin, Kenneth Miller and James Lockwood, having qualified by passing the necessary tests, were invested as Scouts. The Clinton troop, since organizat- ion last June has been going steadily ahead and the fine training of the Scout organization will no doubt have its effect when these boys are the men of to -morrow. The troop now boasts a membership of 31, and will be at its maximum strength when 5 more boys qualify for membership. It has been decided to invite the Goderich troop to take part in an inter -troop place hike to take on Cor- onation day. .A. full program for this event will be drawn up later.

A short address was given by Mr. Bug- ler 011 "Things as they should be and things as they.aro It was pointed out that we cannot go to far mission fields to preach the gospel, unless people were living its principles at home.' Modern communications tell the people what we are doing and they do not hesitate to question our conduct. In order to do our work well and faithfully, we must see that ourselves, and our fellow men are liv- ing Christian lives. In order that a closer bond' might be, established, light refreshments were served in the Owen Ow Memorial Hall, The ladies of the various chur- chesrwere able to meet socially over a cup of tea. At the tea -table were Mrs. John Schoenhals and Mrs. Apple- by. Mrs. A. T. Cooper voiced the ap- preciation of the ladies and hoped that the event might become an annual affair.

Dear Mr, and Mrs. Squire, more informally Dear Pearl' and Harold: The Board of Management of On- tario Street Sunday School have met in this home to -night to extend our sincere glengratutatioln; and goon wishes to you who have so recently entered the ranks of the benedicts, and set up a home in our midst. Did it ever strike you, how mira- culous it is that two people with dif- ferent temperaments coming from dif- ferent environments, sometimes with different standards of living, can come together as husband and wife and form a home! Home, you know, is a shelter from the outside world where our weaknes- ses are best known, yet love and un- derstanding prevails, with each one working for the common good of the other. To accomplish best results we have to take into our home two bears, bear and forebear, and keep practising the golden rule, and most important of all, is to try to so live that each can say, "Christ is the Head of this Home. Now, Harold, you have always been a willing helper in our Sunday School and we hope you will continue to do so as long as you make this locality your home. Again wishing you joy, health, hap- piness, prosperity and contentment, we present you with our various gifts. Signed on behalf of the Sunday School Board of Management -Wm. Walker, Superintendent; Garland G. Burton, Pastor. people become more interested in turning their swords into plough- shares, only then will we have peace.

A suggestion was made that possibly local business men might donate the necessary equip- ment. We pass the suggestion along for consideration. The Park also needs extensive im- provements. The stones should be removed and 'the rough places level- led, together with many other things which might be mentioned. This of course rests with the Park Commit- tee. With the cooperation of the Council and citizens the 1937 baseball team will keep Clinton on the map as far as sports are concerned.

To Gd To the Coronation Some days ago The Hamilton Spectator carried the picture of Mrs. Arthur G. Bishop of Burlington, High honour was paid to her. The. following is taken from the Burling- ton Gazette. "Mrs. A. G. Bishop of Burlington has been named as the supervisor of the thirty-five secondary school girls of Ontario going to England to the Coronation. The Overseas Education League in conjunction with the De- partment of Education for the sev- eral provinces has made possible all the arrangements for the trip of these special chosen and supervised groups of secondary school students.

A. n Convention held in Toronto during Easter week. Mrs. Taylor said that. the attendance banner for the rooms- was a splendid idea and that each room should strive to have every Mother present. This has been ac- complished by one of the rooms in a York. County school.
