CLINTON •ELIMINATES HANOVER Deciding Game Played After Long Postponement Score 12-7 Victory The third and deciding game be- tween Hanover and Clinton finally got under way yesterday afternoon in Hanover. The two teams have been trying to get together for this game for the past two and a half ,weeks, bilt a rainy day always turned up to cause a postponement, Each team had previously won a game and yes- terday's victory gives the . Colts the right to go on. in the play -downs, and they will play with Brigden, in Brig- den, on Saturday afternoon, game called for 3.30. The return game will probably be played here on Wednes- day afternoon. The Clinton team were minus some of their best players yesterday, Wagg White and Pickett being unable to attend, but substitute players filled in very capably. Ernie Hovey took White's place at second. Slim Brant played first, and Jack Hawkins, one of our capable juveniles filled in for Wagg in left field, and did yery well. Tommy Jardine was along with the team and held down a field position. Both teams played good ball. Stock was in usual pitching form for the locals, pitching a nice steady game. Loudon -Clinton Juvenile Game Here Saturday Lorne Avenue, London Juvenile team will play an exhibition game of ball with the Clinton Juveniles in. Re- creation. Park on Saturday afternoon. These two teams were supposed to play in London last Saturday, but the wet weather intervened, and the game could not be played. The Lorne Avenue boys finished first in their regular schedule in, a large group in London, only to 'be beaten out in the play-offs, so all in- dications point to them being a strong team. They will also probably streng- then their team with players from the other. teams. The Clinton boys, have an advan- tage of two years in age, players be- ing allowed in this group up until the age of 18. The London boys'had to be 16 and under. Be on deck Saturday afternoon to see a real game between two good. teams. The game between Hensall and Clinton for the Supertest Trophy, scheduled for last Thursday after- noon, was postponed on account of Infantile Paralysis. It was reported that two cases `of the dread disease had developed in Hensall, so the offi- cials decided to postpone it until a later date. Drought Area Relief The need is obvious. The good old Ontario families, who are tributary to Brucefield Station are rallying to this very needy and humanitarian cause. The C.N.R. is gratuitously co-operating and will <place a car sometime during October at Bruce- field station and will deliver it in Sas- katchewan free of cost, provided the people adjacent to this station will fill it with fruits and vegetables. Families, from three or four miles east of Brucefield and tight west to the lake, will be given an opportunity to assist in this very worthy enter- prise, and while they may be notified from their church pulpits of the plac- ing of this car, the enterprise is en- tirely a community affair, non -sec. tarian and non-partisan.

THE HOME PAPER. Presentation For Bride -Elect On Tuesday evening the members of the Wohelo Sunday School class of the United church held a social evening in the basement of the church in honor of one of its members Miss Isabel Saundercock, bride -elect of this week. A very pleasant time was spent in games and contests. During the evening Miss Saundercock was pre- sented with an ivory set of kitchen utensils. In a few well chosen words Miss Sauhdercock thanked the mem- bers of the class for their kind gifts and good wishes. Addressed Students Mr. W. J. Dunlop, M.A., B.Paed., Director of University Extension Courses of the University of Toronto, spoke to the Collegiate students on Monday afternoon. His remarks were for the purpose of stimulating a de- sire in the students to take up the advance courses of study offered by the Collegiate. Mr. Dunlop is a former resident of Clinton, and the Citizens arealways glad to welcome him. He also holds the office of Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge in Ontario. Wor. Master, Frank Pennebaker, ac- companied by several officers, inter- viewed Mr. Dunlop and invited him to be present at a reception accord- ed the Grand Master, and arrange- ments are being made for the Grand Master to pay an official visit to Clin- ton Lodge in November. Veteran Conservative Meets Denton Massey An incident of the Conservat?ve rel- iy on Monday night was the introduc- tion of David Cantelon, ninety-year- old Clinton "apple king", to Denton Massey, M.P. Mayor H. J. A. Mac - Ewan did the honors. The elderly gentleman's face beam- ed his delight as he shook hands with the eminent Toronto member. He ex- pressed his pleasure at meeting Mr. Massey and told with pride of hav- ing attended every Conservative rally in Huron or South Huron for many years. Mr. Massey informed Mr. Cantelon that the pleasure of acquaintance was mutual. A Different Kind Of Political Meeting Dr. Alexander • Moir, Independent candidate, conducted a different type of political meeting in the town hall here ;on Monday evening. Usually these meetings are marked by criti- cism of the opposing parties and candidates, as a rule some prominent man officiates as chairman, and two or three other speakers are engaged. At this meeting Dr. Moir was his own chairman, and his address was given in between musical selections by Harvey McGee, Raymond Red- mond, and Miss Woods who have been assisting at the meetings. No other speakers were present, and the only criticism given was on the temper- ance issue. In his remarks Dr. Moir likened himself to a pioneer. He spoke brief- ly of his work in the field of radium treatment for cancer, stating that the medical profession had not given much encouragement at the begin- ning, but that now there were 140 private hospitals in Canada and that radiumwas being used extensively in all the larger cities. In the politi- cal field he was also a pioneer in this riding, and especially in regard tothe liquor question. He felt that the men- ace of beverage rooms was not one tenth as bad as the menace of paraly- sis, as more people were crippled an- nually from the use of liquor than from this dread disease. His reasons for entering the.. field at this time were based on the dissat- isfaction expressed following the Conservative and Liberal conventions. Many people stating that they would not vote at all unless a dry candidate was ,placed in the 'field. Referring particularly to the Temperance Fed- eration meeting held' in Clinton, he stated that Dr. Taylor was endorsed by 40 votes only, not a majority, which he felt was not representative. 'At this meeting it will, be recalled that the temperance people endorsed Dr. Taylor's stand on the, temperance issue. Dr. Moir had no disparaging re- marks tomake against his competi- tors in the field, he stated that Dr. Taylor was a good doctor, and Mr. Ballantyne a good farmer. He felt that if enough dry members were el- ected ;they would be able to get at the source of supply, thereby curtail- ing the manufacture of intoxicants. If elected, Dr. Moir stated that he would vote for progressive measures on either side, and sponsor what was best for the country. By so doing nei- ther Conservative nor Liberal suppor- ters would lose their votes by sup- porting him. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Grigg an- nounce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Rosanna, to Elmer Charles, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Trick of, Goderieh Township. The marriage to take place in October.

While digging at the corner on the south-west side of the highway early n the week the:, came across .part of the old sidewalk and cobblestones which were covered over when the corners were widened some 20 years ago. They also discovered the bot- tom _part of a post on which the light was suspended in those days. This had been sawn off level with the ground and was still in a good state of preservation when dug up, Hold Inquest In Car Fatality An inquest was held here yesterday afternoon regarding a serious car ac- cident on Sunday, Aug. 8th, involv- ing London residents. Mrs. Hamilton and daughter, Betty, lost their lives and four others were seriously injured when the sedan in which they were riding got, out of control and crashed into a tree on No. 4 Highway. After hearing the evidence of the driver of the car, witnesses and police, the jury brought in a verdict of accidental death, the accident being 'due to the physical inability of the driver. They also recominended that in future, the department of motor vehicles demand a certificate from a medical doctor concerning the physical condition of any license applicant. Women's Institute Meeting The Women's Institute held their regular meeting in the Agricultural Board Room on Thursday, September 23rd, with the President, Mrs. Hol- mes, in charge. After singing the Institute Ode, the roll' call was re- sponded to by a display of antiques.. The topic for the day was "It's not how long we live, but how well we live." . Mrs. Trewartha gave - some quotations on the topic. Mrs. M. Bat- kin then gave a demonstration on putting in a breast pocket. Mrs. C. V.
