Clinton Juniors Organized At an enthusiastic Junior Hockey Meeting last week officers were elect- ed and plans were laid for a'team to be entered in'the O.H.A. Indications all point to Clinton hav- ing awing a'strong entry this year; and if a good grouping is furnished they should be well supported. Following is the list of officers ap- pointed: Hon. -Pres.: Dr. Shaw. President: Ivan Papernick. Vice -President: Ken. Waters. Manager: Norman Lever. Secretary -Treasurer: Jack Butler. Coach: Murray McEwan. Assistant Coach: Earl Fulford. Intermediate Oituation Not nAsYet Cleared Up- As far as the Colts are concerned; all we can say at the present time is that they have entered in the O.H.A. and we will have a team. The prob- able loss of Frank McEwan, regular left winger, means another spot to fill. That makes three of last year's team that are missing, Stade, Gibbs and McEwan, but it is hoped new and suitable material will be found to fill the vacancies. The cold weather and snow started the rink manager making ice, but it hardly seems probable that the wea- ther will continue suitable for the job. By next week the Intermediate sit- uation may be ironed out, and we may know just what is what, Trying Out With Windsor Mr. Frank McBwan left on Tuesday morning for Windsor, where he will try out with the 'hockey team, spon- sored by the Chrysler Motor Corpora- tion, of that city, which team, we un- derstand, is an entrant in the Michi- gan Ontario League. If Frank makes the grade with the team we under- stand he is to receive a position with the company. "Timmer" has been a valuable and popular member of the famous Clin- ton Colts ever since he started playing hockey and has always been consider- ed one of their best men. He started when a mere kid with the Clinton Jun- iors and when he became too old for junior company found a place waiting for him with the Colts. Now that he has gone to try his skill elsewhere, the best wishes of a host of friends follow him, and may good fortune attend him. • • Champion Typist Gives Demonstration Here MISS Irma Wright, of Toronto, has held the Canadian Championship in Typewriting speed for six years. In the last International Contest, held at Toronto Exhibition last August, she wort an official rate of 118 words per. minute for 30 minutes 'continuous writing. On. Monday, Miss Wright was in Clinton as a representative of the EducationaTDent. of the United Type- writer Co„ to give a demonstration at the School of Commerce. After writing at increasing speeds up to 186 words per minute, and showing correct. and'ircorrect methods, she told the students it was no special gift which enabled her to become an expert typ- ist but that she was Careful always to observe correct posture; even touch and all the seemingly small details that every student is taught and, most of all, practice;, at least six hours each day for months before a contest. She spoke of the opportun- ities for really expert Stenographers and Typists and that the hours of work were not drudgery if they had interest and enthnslesm,. Miss Wright's pleasing . manner in presenting these facts, se well, as her skilled demonstration of the correct use of the machine, was a real inspir- ation. We shall be watching the type- writing records of the students of the School of Commerce for results. To Our Subscribers • Our mailing list has been : revised up to and including November 20th. Please see that your label is correct. We wish to sincerelythank those subscribers - lto a re w have r neweii their subscriptions during the past few weeks, To these who have not re- newed we would ask them to exam- ine the address label on, their paper in order to ascertain whether their sub- scription to the paper is paid •up to date, and if not, to send the amount owing as soon as passible. It is not easy to remind separately each per- son who is in arrears, and while each may consider that the few dol- lars be or she owes are not worth bothering about, yet in the aggregate they may amount to a great deal and are of considerable importance to the paper. It is only fair if the paper is read that it should be paid for, and we therefore take this means of asic- ing our 'readers not to overlook, the little matter. Notes Froin The Royal Winter Fair Mr. Ian MacLeod, Local Agricultur- al representative was at the Royal Winter Fair iii Toronto last week. Ile sponsored a team of three boys ih the Inter -County Livestock Judging Competition, ' This tram was twelfth in a class of thirty-seven.

Mr. MacLeod stated that exhibits and attendance at the fair were in- created over 'other years, The rea- son given was the fact that so many farmers did not attend the C.N.E. and the fall fairs were cancelled on ac- count of the prevailing epidemic. Distinguished Visitor At Clinton Masonic Lodge On Friday evening the officers and members of Clinton Masonic Lodge were hosts to the Grand Master of Ontario, M. W. Bro. W. O. Dunlop, M.A., B.Paed., Toronto. Mr. Dunlop is not a stranger to Clinton as this was his home during the years 1901 to 1904 when his fath- er was pastor of Clinton and Auburn Baptist churches.

Before closing the lodge sessionan address was read and a presentation made to, Mr. Dunlop as a souvenir of his visit' to the lodge. Afterward all proceeded to the town hall where a banquet was served to the members and visiting brethren. A splendid ad- dress was listened to with keen in- terest as Me. Dunlop spoke: on "Fra- ternity and Sincerity". Recalling his earlier days spent hi this locality, the speaker recalled that he began his teaching career in S. S. No. 7 on the 13th con. of Hullett.

The storm and screen door was sold on Thursday and the stove on Friday. This . is just one example that advertising pays. Another advertiser required domes- tic help.

Guides and Scouts Will Send Toys Word has been received from Mr. Speed, former Boy Scout Field Secre- tary for Western Ontario, who has lately taken over his duties in Sas- katchewan, that there is a great need of Christmas toys or gifts for the children o there,trying n ut London is try ng to gather enough for a carload which will be taken without eharge by the railroad. Toys gathered here will be sent to London to be included in their car. On Saturday morning the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts will make a house to house canvas to gather toys or other suitable gifts for children. Every home will have something which is useful and can be passed on to help those who are much less for- tunate than we in Clinton. These will be collected in the Guide, Scout Headquarters, repaired if needed and crated for the trip West. Why not have a look around right now and be prepared to help the Guides and Scouts in their effort to male the Christmas of some Western kiddies e merry one, Women's Institute On Thursday, November 18th, the Women's Institute held their regular meeting in the board room of the Agricultural office, with an atten- dance of over fifty. Mrs. Holmes, the President, was in the chair. Af- ter singing the Institute Ode and re- peating the Lord's Prayer, the roll call was responded to by a verse of a favorite author. The motto for the day was "I can- not do more than I ought, I. have no. right to do less." This was very ably dealt with by Mrs. McKinley, who gave some very helpful remarkson the subject. Miss' Dorothy Bartliff very kindly gave a demonstration on wrapping Christmas presents, and everyone felt they had learned something worth while" after seeing Miss Bartliff's ar- tistic display. Mrs, Trewartha moved a vote of thanks. Mrs. Cudmore gave a reading on the History of Clinton, dating back to when the first log house was built. Then Mrs. Bert Huller, in comic cos- tume delighted the audience with several mouth -organ selections and step -dancing;.

Thirty -Seven Years ;Ser vice Coining to Clinton 87 years' ago from England Mr. John Walton started work for Mr. and Mrs, W. Jackson, and today is still quietly working away with typical English thoroughness. He takes a keen ia- terest in his work and is a needssary part of the Jackson on ousehokt, Quite recently he suffered a great loss when his pet dog passed sissy in spite of the best veterinarian care. He is a great lover of animals and birds and takes great pride in a number of pheasants which he has raised. In spite of the number of years which have elapsed, Mr. Wal- ton still retains a delightful English brogue. This is quite a record for long ser- vice and Mrs. Jackson is to be con- gratulated in retaining the services of such a trustworthy employee. Local Hunters Bring Home; Their Deer Venison steaks will soon be on the bill of fare in many local hones now that the uimrocls have returned home with the goods. Two fine specimen's have been on display in the window of S. G. Castle's store and in all web - ability they will soon be put to a more practical use. A strange coincidence in connec- tion with the trip which led into the wilds of the Parry Sound district is that two parties set out without ki owing the destination of -the other, and both met up in the wilds. Nat- urally they teamed up, and as a re- sult of their marksmanship eleven deer in all left the happy hunting grounds. Toni Churchill's party included Bill Glew, Fred Miller and "Jake" Mc- Dougall. The other party was head- ed by Cliff. Proctor. Former Clinton Resident Passes In West The following obituary taken from a recent issue of the Kindersley Clar- ion refers to a former resident of Clinton. We are deeply grieved to learn of the death of one of our dearly loved pioneer friends of this district, Mr. Ben Reid, who passed away on Tues- day evening at the Kindersley hos- pital, succumbing to a stroke he took about six weeks ago. Our deepest sympathy goes to his dear wife who has been constantly with him, and who is now left to bear this terrible burden, . We take it as a blessing that death claimed him from his pain and agony and trust that Mrs. Reid will be given health and strength to con- tinue alone. Mr. Reid was born in Huron Coun- ty, 65 years ago. He cane west to Carndiff, Sask., from Clinton, Ont,, in 1900, moving to the Avonhill dis- trict, north of Kindersley, in 1910. In 1917 he was married to Dolly Spooner,' youngest daughter of the late Charles Spooner, who survives. Besides his wife he leaves two brothers and two sisters, Wesley Reid of Kindersley, Thomas of Carndiff,. and Mrs. McBrien and Mrs. Springer of Salmon Ann, B.C. Huron County Junior Association A very successful year for the Hu- ron County Junior Association was brought to a close with a Bowling Party at which about eighty-five for- mer Huronites were present. The lat- ter part of the evening took the form of the Annual Meeting at which the new representative Committee for 1938 was elected as foIlows: Seaforth-Anne Sutherland, Jessie Archibald, Murray Savauge. Brussels -Mrs. Lloyd Grose, Wes- ley McCutcheon. Wingham Helen Fields, Maiy Coultes, Charles Messer, Wroxeter and Gorrie-Blanche Ir- win. Goderieh-Doris Hill, Grace Stir- ling, Mike Sanderson.. Exeter - ICenneth C. Stanbtuy, Grant Collingwood. Hensall-Bill Robins. Londesboro-Bob Leiper. Clinton - Anne Crittenden, Mike Cook and Fred Elliott. The reprepentative Connlittee held Mr. David Cantelon who celebrates his 90th birthday on: Saturday. Passing another milestone in the journey of life, Mr. David Cantelon, will on Saturdaycelebrate his 90th. birthday. A real veteran, he is s st'll r hale and hearty and actively engaged in the business of livestock buying ev- ery day. This year he has paid to the far- mers within a radius of twelve miles e huge amount of money, somewhere• over the eighty -thousand dollar mark. Close to 4,000 hogs have been ship- ped, 1300 lambs, and some 20 calves. ' "Dave's" customers conte back.' They .like his honest dealing and prompt payments. One farther has brought in 143 hogs for which he has received $2,362,80. In his last ship- ment of 10 hogs, 8 were selects. These are the type that our genial buyer likes to handle. Ile can tell some interesting stories of his early days in the apple buying business. Fortunes have been lost and reclaimed, and "Dave" mettle that on three occasions he was flat broke. For some time now he has devoted all his time to the buying of hogs and lambs and says he has no intern tion of retiring, in fact he says his doctor tells him to carry on, His many friends will have an op- poatunity to extend their congratula- tions on Saturday, afternoon and' ev- ening, when Miss Dorothy Cantelon: and her father will be at home te+ his niany friends. a meeting at the hone of Mr. and. Mrs. Fred Elliott and the following. new officers were appointed --Presi- dent, Kenneth C. Stanbury; First; Vice President, Mrs. Lloyd Grose; Se- condis President, o Pres ens y Wes le is t-• lV Cu aheon; Secretary, Doris Hill; Assis- tant Secretary, Graee Stirling; Treas- urer, Grant Collingwood; Publicity Committee, Anne Crittenden, Bob Lei- per and Bill Robins. It has been very encouraging to the Committee to have received such splendid so -operation from all former Huronites and the new Committee is planning an even better 1988. All the young people residing in To- ronto who were former residents of Huron, or whose parents were former residents of the County are eligible for membership in the Association. An Efficient Reeve In conducting affairs of the various municipalities which they represente officials very often get work done which is worthy of eomtnendetion,. but it quite frequently happens that their efforts are taken for granted and no credit is given them for what they have accomplished, nor for the time and effort expended in bringing the desired changes. When the pavement to Blyth was first talked of, it was decided to put' In a ten foot Strip, leaving the ether half of the road in gravel. Such a. road might have advantages, but the disadvantages outweigh the good points. Motorists prefer to travel on pavement where possible, and in trav- elling on the wrong side of the road. to do so, life is endangered. In order to prevail on the author ince and to prove to them that a, twenty foot strip of pavement was. necessary, Mr. James Leiner, Reeve, o1" Hullett was an untiring worker. He made three trips to Toronto and'. oppeared before the cabinet minis - toe, and also appeared at the Gode-- rich County Council with petitions to that effect. As a result of his per- sistence those, using the Blyth road. lee travel' on a; full width pavement;, and while we may be a little late in. our words of commendation, the old' slegan of "Better late than never" is, applicable.
