Attractive Window Displays
Our Clinton merchants are to be
complimented on their window dis-
plays, which from time to time show
that much care and time pais been
devoted to this particular line of ad-
vertising. :Whilewe do not like to
single out any particular merchant
for honorable mention in this regard,.
there ate two windows in town at
Ithe present time :which are, we be-
lieve,highly commendable.
The window of Mr. Glen Cook's
'place of business with its crosses of
memoriam and the background of
wreaths, is highly in keeping, with
Armistice Day. In tribute to our
glorious dead it is a glowing memor-
iam.
The display window of the Epps
Sport Shop depicts a typieal autumn
scene. The background' of ever-
greens with' the •deer.'s.'head showing
through, the covering of leaves, the
camp fire,, and hunters equipment
make a grand setting for a hunting
camp.
Both windows -show that much time
and effort have been expended.,

We nave reeei:ed notification -of a
meeting of the Western Ontario i•Ioc-
key Association to be held at Listowel

p.m. Business includes the election
of officers and suggested groupings
in both intermedate and junior series.

vited to attend.
Intermediate Hockey At
Standstill
If present conditions continue, it
is rumoured that the Clinton Colts,
may not operate this winter. Plenty
of good material is available, but
a suitable manager has not as yet
been found.
The dropping of the Clinton Colts
from intermediate circles would be
a sad thing indeed, both for fans and
players alike, and hope is expressed
that a suitable man will present him-
self for the ppsition before it is too
late.
Seaforth are reported to be putting
a strong team in the field this year.
The rink there has changed hands,
and is being remodelled, more seat-
ing room being put' in, along with
some sort of loud -sneaking system
which will add much to the entertain-
ment of the fans.
It would be a calamity if our good
hockey team of the past three sea-
son's was broken up, merely through
lack of managerial interest in the
game.
Winner In National Contest
Mrs. William Ball, Huron Road,
was a successful entrant in a recent
Domestic. Shortening Contest, qual-
ifying for one of the awards. Prizes

daughter, Ardith Erickson, Detroit.
While on a visit here Ardith was

result is that her grandmother is now
$2.00 richer.

FOR REMEMBRANCE
God giant to us Remembrance—That there may be no longer War—
No more of suffering slid strife, or madness drenched with heart's
best blood,
Where might alone prevails and sin walks rampant through s
shell-shocked land!
When
are 'm n
e torn lion quiet ways ta kill
those
other
men fox -
whom
They haveno hate, (but oftmes love with brotherly affinity and
trust)
Against whose hand they raise mailed hand' inflamed by racial
jealousies.
Let us remember and resist the thought of all this anguish-
The sleepless nights, the agony, of those who watch, helpless and
weak
Awaiting a grim messenger who- bears the solemn seal of death!
Around us yet, oh God, we see the woes, the ills, the aftermath-
The tragedy of lives, the desolated days of hopelessness,
Like charred and stunted forest trees by wasting fires deformed—
But let us too remember this, thro' all of time, that Thou art kind --
A. God of love and charity—That hate is man created and
That war belongs not to thy realm of generous goodwill!
And as we lay a wreath beneath the Cenotaph, grant us dear God
Remembrance of the sacrifice made by those noble souls, that we
Might walk serenely paths of peace through generations hence!.
And in remembering, may we forever pray for that sure peace
Surpassing all man's knowledge and all human understanding—
That war may be a thing .forsworn and banished groin the world!

bit'. and Mrs. Ostrom had spent
Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Ben. Rathwell and arrived home a-
bout 11 o'clock. On opening the door
they were greeted with flames which.
spread so quickly that nothing could
be done to save either the house or
the contents. Apparently the fire
had been smoldering in the base-
ment, and when the door was opened
it created a draft which caused the
lower portion of the house to burst
into' flames. The house was a com-
paratively new structure, having been
built by Mr.' W. H. Lobb for his hired
help.
