Clinton in the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday' morning, January' 9th; with representatives present from Goderieh, Bayfield, Hensall, Exeter, Blyth, Seaforth and Clinton, Greet- ings were conveyed from the Provin- eial Board by Mrs. Hiltz, of Toronto, Miss Jeckell, the president,' opened the meeting with the hymn, "I To the. Hills Will Lift Mine Eyes" and this was followed by ,Scripture read- ing by Mrs. McEwan, of Goderieh, and prayer by Mrs. Walter, Goderieh. Mrs. Merton Reid, of Seaforth, was appointed Secretary in the absence of Mss. Young, of HensaIl, and read the minutes, giving a splendid ac- count of the Rally held in Goderich in September. Twofold Purpose Miss Jeckell, in her address, said the annual meeting had a twofold purpose: .first, looking back over 1933, acknowledgingthe successes and failures, second, Iooking forward to 1934 determined to achieve great- er results. She compared the an- nual meeting to a big family gath- ering, knowing each other the bet- ter, because of meeting on one com- mon ground, the work, of spreading the Master's' Gospel. "We cannot stand still," she said, "if .we are not going ahead we ere going back, and so I urge you toputnew zeal and more faith in your work for the cause of missions. Plan to adopt a new idea for 1934; get some new objective to work for." She suggested "The Blue Book" contained enough information for many interesting meetings. Miss Jeckell attributed much of the past success to the co-operation between! president and officers and expressed a wish for the same happy relation- ship'throughout this year. Secretaries' Report The reports given by the different secretaries were well prepared and very gratifying. Mrs. T. Swat Smith, Seaforth, the very efficient and painstaking treasurer's announce- ment that the allocation of $3,200 had been attained, was greeted with expressions of satisfaction by the members. An excellent resume of the reports of the secretaries woe compiled by Miss Jeckell and read by Mrs. Mer- ton Reid. .It showed that by increas- ed effort, time, talent and money be- ing given to consecrated service, IIu- ion Presbyterial had made an in- crease of 17 per cent, There' were increases in Glad Tidings, Life M en- hership Ceto' Seares, contributions to the Special Campaign Fund and mem- bership. The adoption of these re- ports was moved by Mrs. J. C. Greig, Seaforth, and seconded by Mrs. Wal- ters, Goderich. Mrs. Lane, of. Gode- rich, offered the dedicatory prayer. .Mrs. Hiltz, of Toronto, first vice- peesident of the Provincial Board, brought greetings. "The best pro- phet of -the future is the past," said Lord Byron and judging from the tone and substance of the reports 1 have listened to I have no fear for the future of Huron Presbyterial," she said. She paid a fitting tribute to Mlrs. Dunlop, of Goderich, key woman or tine Special Fund, saying that after hearing her cleverly tabulated re•• port she was not surprised that the 100 pet cent, mark was obtained when the campaign in Huron Pres- byterial was under Mrs. Dunlop's di- rection. Time was taken for discussion of the different 'reports and helpful in formation given by Mrs. Hiltz on points of uncertainty, Mrs. Merton Reid was appointed to represent the W. M.

The funeral from the home 'of his sen, Arthur, with interment in Exeter cemetery. GODERIGH: The fastest hockey to be played here in some years was witnessed by a record crowd Tuesday night, when New Hamburg took a 2-0 defeat from the Goderieh Sailors. The game was for the most part clean and speedy and every man was a star. In the opener every man was "on his toes" and promise of a close game appeared in the first few mo- ments of play. Toward the end of the period the New Hamburg goal was besieged with shots. Snappy combination play was a feature of this period as one rush after another was made on each goal only to be broken up before causing any effect. The second frame was quite equal to the first with the visitors having a little the' edge on the locals. The game became .a bit rougher in this period as the players' realized that the first team .to score would likely be the victors. This period was goalless both teams giving their best. With no scorefor either side the third period opened. After the fiirst few minutes had passed the lo- cals got the puck down at New Hanie. burg end and after a few seconds of checking Allison scored neatly on a pass from. Bill Robinson to put the home towners one up. Shortly af- ter 'this Stoddart tallied a second goal for Goderich. Then New Ham- burg opened up with shots but the Sailors goalie was too much for then. WTNGHAM; The annual meeting of the Wingham Horticultural Sc. deter was held on Monday evening with the president, Thomas Fells, presiding. After carrying a balance for from 1932 of 837.15 the receipts the year amounted to $334.43, and there is' a balance carried over tot this year of $11.43. The Society had a very successful year, and it is their expectation that the Horticultural Paris, purchased about two years ago, will be in fair condition at the end of the present year, as there has been around $1,000 spent on the park dur- ing the past two months getting it in shape for filling and levelling. GODERICII: A delightful event of Monday night was the annual ban- quet of the Arthur Circle of Itnox Church, tendered the members of the executive. The tables were attrac- tive with pink and green ,candles and silver baskets of pink roses and car- nations. Those at the head table were the president, Mrs. W. MacEw- an, Miss Taylor, Rev. Dr. Wardlaw- Taylor, Rev. D. 3. and Mrs, Lane, Rev, Dr. and Mrs. Barnett, Miss Anne MacDonald and Mrs, A. D. McLean, Mrs MacEwau welcomed " the guests and after dinner introduced tate var, ious speakers who briefly congratu- lated the Arthur Circle on the pre- ceding successful year and urged the members to ;soltorystd to at even tetter year in 1934. Those who spoke were Rev. Mr. Lane, Dr, Wardlaw- Taylor, Dr. Barnett, Mrs. Lane, Mrs, Barnett, Miss MacDonald, Mrs, A. D. McLean, Mt'. Weir, Mr. Livens, H.

A com- prehensive report of the anneal Pres- byterial meeting held in Clinton was given by Miss Belle MacVicar, in Which it- was revealed that Huron Presbyterial had net only reached.t,, their allocation of '83200 but had in- creased its membership. All"depart- monts showed a' successful year. EXETER:. Dining the recent elec- tion one of the planks of reform to be enacted was the, reduction of the toren officers' salaries However, the only salaries changed were those of the council.: A raise has been given the Reeve from 850 to 872, or 33 per stating. and the councillors from ;$30 per year to 848;, or 82 per sitting. If a member is absent he collects no pay. It was shown that the Town Clerk is paid only 8600 for the care of a population of over 1,600,' and within 20 inilos of Exeter, a town of less than 1,400 pays its toren clerk 88.76. Exeter isn't so badly bit.
