HOCKEY PRACTICES GET UNDER WAY " The first hockey practice at'the rink was held last Thursday night, when both the Juniors and Interme- diates began limbering -up exercises, Intermediate practice has been held every night since then, but the Jun- iors had their first practice this week last night. A fine sheet of ice is now available for the teams and if present weather conditions hold out, it will give both teams a splendid :chance to round into shape before the sched- ule open. The first garhe of the reg- ular Intermediate schedule will be played two weeks from tonight in Seaforth,' with the •Colts furnishing the opposition for thein on that oc- casion. It is hopeel an exhibition game can be arranged before that time, as the boys consider a good ex- hibition game does more towards get- ting then ready for the regular schedule than anything else. by g e From all indications at the prac- tices' no shortage of men. need be feared, and things are shaping ug to a point where the Colts will be as strong as in any previous year. Little is known about the Juniors as yet, but according to reports a wealth of material is at hand, and the boys will have to go to work if they hope to catch a place with the team. That's what always makes a good aockey team, when plenty of men are around just in case the other fellow loesn't come up to expectations.- No ichedule has yet been drawn up, but his will likely be arranged in the fiery near future. - So once again the old skating rink s resounding to the shout of players and the cheers and criticisms of the ergs number of rail -birds who gath- r nightly to watch the boys who vril, ::e hope, carry Clinton's hockey canner higher and farther than ever his year.

Reopening Of St. Paul's To mark the reopening of St. Paul's Parish Hall since it has been renovat- ed an evening of high class entertain- ment was provided on Monday even- ing. To start off the evening's activities, Rev. K. McGoun in a brief address welcomed those present. He commend- ed those who had been in charge of the work, and 'stated that St. Paul's now has a hall second . to none in the community, and hoped that the evening's entertainment would the n v d be beginning of many such enjoyable oc- casions in the future. He then in- troduced ntroduced the chairman, Col. . H. B. Combe, referring to him as the oldest member of the congregation. ' ' Col. Combe was in his usual good form and jocularly remarked that he was not the oldest member, this hon- our going to Col. H, T. Rance, al- though the margin was only three months, Indulging in reminiscences he spoke of attending the old church which has since been torn down. Col. Rance was the last .member to be christened in the old church,and Col. Combe the first in the new church. The program opened with a. splen- did solo by Miss Ellen Charlesw$rth and from start to finish there was not a dull moment. Tap dancing and singing by Lloyd Fuford and little Faye Hickson of Hensall were hear- tily applauded, as were the solos by Mrs. Harold Lawson. Mrs. George McLay had the crowd holding their sides with her clever impersonations of an English dude. - The concluding number was a splen- did one -act play, "A Case of Suspen- sion". Those in the, cast of players were Helen Herman, Tom Cooke, Dor- is Taylor, Dillen McGoun, Agnes Johnson, Bob Campbell, Jack Haw- kins, Ken Cooke, Mrs, G. McLay and Henry Sloman. When the faculty find out the young ladies of the seminary are to enter- tain undergraduates of a nearby col- lege in their rooms some amusing in- cidents develop. The professor, play- ed by Tom Cooke is suspended be- tween heaven and earth in a basket which the girls used to bring the boys up, and is held, there until he comes to, terms and promises to over- look the whole incident. - Later•, on in the evening' Helen Herman, another member of the. faculty, drops in un- expectedly. Finally they 'rain in the fun and have such a good time that theyagree to overlook everything. The girls - are aided and abetted by the Irish maid, Mrs. McLay, and the janitor, Henry Sloman, and they fin- ally get in on, the fun too. All in all it was a high class enter- tainment from start to finish and those in charge are to be commended for the thoroughness of their work, Parish Hall Among The Churches St. Paul's Church - At the 1 meeting aof the Wo- men's Auxiliary of St. Paul's Church, held last evening at the Rectory, the following officers were appointed for the coining year: Honorary Piesident •and Prayer Partner: Mrs, Johnston, President: Mrs. McGinn. 1st Vice: Mrs. Appleby; and Vice: Mrs. Geo.

Local Municipal Affairs Should' Cause Concern:. U until the e Up h present time these has. been very little talk regarding elec-- tions for t • heariou v s301 't' 0 1. p S 1S011the•% council, public utilities, school boards,. etc. We do not think however that», this is due to lack of interest, buts rather that the various aspirants for the positions are quietly biding theta -- time until the nominations are held:. In the resorts which have come in,. from outside points it has been inter- esting to note that ladies have been-- appointed to positions of councillors,. but so far we have not heard any la- dies mentioned as in the running in,. - Clinton. Mayor Holmes; who has ably filled' the chair for a three year term has. definitely announced that h e i s tluough, and the name of George El- liott has been mentioned as a likely candidate. No one else has been men- tioned up to the present time as a likely opponent. . For the reeveship we will have the capable Fred Livermore seeking re- election. Three new councillors wilt. have to be appointed, one to fill the, vacancy caused by the resignation of' F. W. Johnston, one for George El-- liott's chair, and another for Wm.. Walker's place which we understanck is to be vacated this year. lit all_ probabilitythere will be no lack of material, and with the above in view the citizens of Clinton should have constantly before them the respon- sibility which is theirs in appointing public officials. Church and , club affiliations, petty dislikes and friendships, should be, cast aside in selecting members tee these responsible positions. They should be very carefully chosen and: business ability and capable manage --- anent should he uppermost in the.^ e r minds of electors as they make their- selections. heirselections. It is quite likely that several dark horses will show up when nominations. are held and it will be interesting to• note the effect of their eloquence• when the votes are cast, cif such a_ procedure is necessary. In our attendance at council' meet- ings during the past year we conl& make . some timely suggestions. One- is that the generalpublic should: evince more interest in the affairs of" the town. It is very seldom' that any., - one except .the officials are- present: which would indicate that generally - speaking, once apppinted, the- council: have things pretty well their own' - way. The meetings are open tb the' public and they should be Sufficiently' interested to attend once in a. while-. Receives Appointment Mr. Creighton Gibson, who has been. - employed at the Clinton Creamery -- for several months, recently received=' notification that he had been appoint- ed to the management of the Cream- ery Branch, Experimental Farni, Ot- tawa. - While here Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, have made many friends who are sor- ry to see thercn; leave. They leave for. their new home this week -end. King George To Broadcast Day Christmas D y The King will broadcast a Christ - rias message to the empire from San- dringham dringham on Christmas Day, it was announced on officially y - Friday. Y This..ear's messa a robabl wild? Y S p y be at 3 p.m. (10 a.m., E.S.T.). The King's message to his peoples,. relayed round the world by beam ra- dio, became a feature of Christmas observance in many Empire homes . after the late King George adopt- ed V ad t- ed the practice in 1931. Santa Claus Here ;S'aturday- A telegram has been received hi' the secretary of the Local Lions Chiba informing them that Santa Claus will definitely be here next Saturday, De - amber 18th. Unfortunately however he did not make it quite clear just.'' how he would arrive in town, but it is almost certain that he 'will arrive shortly afterthree o'clock, and will ' in all probability come by train. Arrangements are being made to have Santa distribute a treat of nuts, candy, etc., to the children, and af- terwards he will be asked to spend a short time , in the town hall to get acquainted with the boys and girls., Protest Sunday Broad'cas '; - Stratford Pi:esbytery, of the Prls- byterian Church in session in Strat- ford adopted a report recommending. the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- . tion be requested to take steps to re- strict Sunday commercial advertising,• to eliminate. the broadcasting of corn . mercial and professional, sports, ,jazz and vaudeville, giving greater em- phasis to programs of a religious =dal educational nature.
