But last week it seem- ed to depend upon which thermom- eter you happened to be looking at and no doubt; the temperature var ied to some extent, even within a few miles.

Some of the or, ganizations exceeded their achieve- ments of the previous year, namely the Woman's Association, Sybil Cour- tice Mission Band, Girls' Club and the C. G. I. T.

Mr. Oliver Jervis, Secretary of the Official -Broad, spoke briefly of the work of the Board and in a general way of the progress of the church this year notwithstanding the prevailing de, pression which has so effected all church activities, he viewed the com- ing year with a great deal of optim- ism if all will but show .harmony and co-operation in all church work. On motion of !Messrs. F. H. Powell and Thos. Livingstone a hearty vote of appreciation was extended to Mr. Verrill for the good work he had done dining the past year. :Special refer, ence was made to his messages from the pulpit, which had been inspiring and uplifting.

The reports from the primary lodges were read and adopted, the reports being encouraging. The hold- ing of the 12th of July celebration came in for some discussion and it was decided to hold same in Exeter, and plans were made for it. ' The election of officers resulted as follows: County Master: Ed. Foulder, Ailsa Craig. 1 Deputy: Elsner Webster, Varna. !Chaplain: E. W. Dignan, Exeter. • Rec.-Secretary: H. M. Hanly, Clin- ton. , Fin. -Secretary: M. J. Sheoenhals, Clinton. 1 Treasurer: G. Davis, Woodham. Lecturers; A. Deeves, Garnet Cor nish, Clinton. Marshall: J. Patton, Lucan.

COSTS OF EDUCATION I The secretary o£ the Clinton Colle- giate Institute Board opened a new 1 minute book with the inaugural meet- ing last week, the last meeting, that of January, filling up the old one. The first entry in the old book was dated Aug. 29th, 1898. The members of the board at that time were: !James Scott, who was chairman; Hor- ace Foster, who was secretary; Dr. Shaw, W. N. 3fanning, H. Plunsteel, W. Jackson and D. A. Forrester. Dr. Shaw is a member of the board at the present time, although he has not been a continuous member, he, Mr, Scott and Mr. Manning being the only ones surviving of the board of that day. The personnel of the board was changed slightly the following year, 1899, being made up as follows: James •Scott, chairman, H. Foster, secretary; H, Plumeteel, W. Jackson, Ogle Cooper, D. A. Forrester and John Ransford. Just • by way of contrast as to the cost of education we might 'compare the expenditures of thirty-six years ago with those of •today.In 1898 the whole sum of receipts was $6233 and the year was finished with a balance of $872. In 1933 the total income amounted to $24,951.21. This included a bal- ance from the previous year of $2,- 403.82. 2;403.82. The balance left at the end of 1983 was $1,595.62. Everything bought or hired cost much' more in 1933 than in 1898, sal- aries, exam. costs, caretaking, 3nsur, ante, and then, there a re sinking fundexpenses, ete. One of the ex- penditures which does not seem to have increased is the salary of the secretary. As far back as the records go the secretary seemed to get a sal- ary of $100, last year it was cut to $90. • The mistake this official ,rade was in not having his salary inereas- ed during the boom years, then a cut would not have mattered so much. Expenditures were cut to quite an extent' last year 'and the balance at •the end of the, year was much smal, ler, around $1500. But it is better to be drawing interest at even two and a half per centt than paying it at seven or eight. "W. I. TO MEET The regular meeting of the Wo- men's Institute will be held in the Firemen's Hall on Thurs., Feb. 22, at three o'clock. Mr. Ian MacLeod will give an address. A good program is being prepared.

SHROVE TUESDAY SUPPER The Ladies' Guild of S. Paul's church put on their annual Shrove Tuesday supper on Tuesday evening in the school room. The supper was, as always, abun- dant, delicious and well -served, and many went up and partook of their evening meal there. The ladies and their willing helpers were attentive to the wants of their guests and all who came were well looked after. The ladies had a nice little balance to add to their treasury as a result of their efforts. • TRAIL RANGERS' CONCERT The Clinton Trail Rangers put on a very good entertainment in Ontario street church on Tuesday evening, a fair audience gathering for the event. The chair was taken • by Benson Sutter. Rev. F. G. Ferril pastor of the church, offered the opening pray- er, after which a nice little program was given. Misses. Allie Lue Thomp- son and Dene Sutter sang a duet, ac- companied by 1VIiss Greene at the pi- ano; Ilene Sutter gave a recitation; Miss Sadie Elliott and Miss Hawkins contributed readings; Mrs. Sutter gave a violin solo, Miss Greene at the piano; McKinnon and Jack Perdue played a saxophone duet, Mrs. Per- due acompanying them; Benson Sut- ter sang a solo, Miss Greene accom- panist, and a little playlet, "The Hearts," was given by the boys, It was quite enjoyable and the boys have a little addition to their holiday fund as the result. PUT ON PLAY The comedy put on in the town hall on Thursday evening by the L, O.B.A. brought out a fair crowd, but the weather was so extremely cold that many who would otherwise have been present could not force them- selves to quit the fireside and ven- ture out into the bitter atmosphere. The (comedy, `SDiamonds and 'Hearts," an amusing one, had been rehearsed for many weeks, as thin cast always gives much time to the preparation of a play, and present it very 'eeceptably. It seemed a pity that their efforts did not call forth a better reward. The cast consisted of Mrs. C. V. 'Cooke, Misses Ethel Cooke, Hattie Livermore, Alice Law, son, Janette Taylor and Messrs. 3. Silcock, R. Cartwright, S. Castle, Jr„ H. Sloman, J. Sturdy and Stewart Taylor, most of whom had taken part in other plays, and they each took their parts in fine style. • STANLEY The members of the "Gossip" Ciub were invited to the home of Mrs. H. Diehl on Monday afternoon for an old -fashioned -quilting bee. Two quilts were quilted and the rest of the community was invited for the ev. ening, when a fine social time was spent. Mrs. Lane of Stratford, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Diehl and family. Miss Isabel! Glen has returned from Toronto where she visited friends. Miss Marjorie McEwen entertain- ed a number of friends at a Vales- titre party yesterday. evening, Saint Valentine's Day. Mr.' and Mrs. Wilber Welsh of the second concession came very near loosing their house on Wednesday night of last week, when they dis- covered that the stove pipes were on fire. After trying to quell the blaze themselves, they finally called in the neighbors, and with their help it was gotten under control and finally ex, tinguished; It would ° have been a nasty night to be turned out in the cold, as the thermometer was hover- ing around twentybelow zero, CLINTON OUT OF O.

Neither were much closer struggle. Goderich -scoped the only two goals of the first period, Don. MacKay going in alone for the first, while Wood scored the second on a pass from .Stoddart. In the second, Rath took a pass from Kennedy for Clinton's first goal. Rath tied it up in the third with the Colts second goal of the game, but "Skipper" MacDonald scored the Sailors third and winning goal just before the final bell. The pen- alties were divided, Goderich, three, Clinton, four. Line-up: Clinton: 'Goal; Elliott; defence, Rath, J. Elliott; centre, Pickett; wings, McEwan and Holmes; subs, R.

The Colts did not look like the same team that scampered around the ice when Mita shell was here and quite easily de- feated them. But the style these Sailors play puts another team com- pletely at sea. They y can follow the puck all over the ice and seen al, ways to be in the right place. How- ever they won a good clean victory and we wish them every success in the futare. Doak in the nets for the Sailors was a perfect marvel, and it was largely due to his efforts that the Sailors won by such a handy mar- gin. ,Grant Rath was the only man on the Clinton team who was suc- cessful in putting the puck past him. he scoring• both goals, thus saving the Colts from bringing hone that unwelcome little animal. But every player did his best and on many occasions hard luck just seemed to follow them around and whenever it looked like a sure goal something al- ways happened, and it was just not their year to win. So the boys can pack their outfits away in the •old moth -balls and waft for next year, when we hope fortune will smile both louder and longer. esteem* Sailors Win First Game 4-0 In the game on Friday night, the first period was scorless, with both teams going strong, and another tie game seemed possible, as both Doak and Elliott were ready for every, thing coming their way. Penalties were handed out to Allison, Murney and McKay of the visitors and F. McEwan for the locals. McDonald opened the scoring for the Sailors in the second frame and Stoddart rade it two before the per. rod ran out. Penalties. Bingeman and Robinson. The Colts worked hard in the third frame in an effprt to retrieve their losses, and Doak was kept busy turning aside hot shots from all an- gles, but just couldn't be beaten. The Sailors added two more to their lead in the third stanza, Stoddart and McDonald getting the breaks a, gain, though in reversed order. McKay drew the only penalty.

The Can. adiens and Maroons played the first game, which resulted in a 4-3 \vin for the Maroons and the Senators and Leafs played in the last game, which proved to be .one of the highest scor, ing games of the season in which the Senators finally won by the score of 9-8. Both games were well contest. ed and were very close, and while the last game was productive of the most goals, the first one produced the first "donnybrook" of the sea- son. Sticks were flying high, par- ticularly in the last period and when the final bell rang a few of the boys forgot their manners and exchanged right and lefts, but nobody was hurt, and after things calmed down, ev- erybody wondered what it was all about. owe Maroons Whip Canadiens In the first period things opened up fast and there was plenty of ex- citement. MoDonald scored the first goal for the Maroons and Bert .Glid• don came back to tie it up. Then Norman Lever put the Maroons a- head and thus the period ended. Finch tied it up in the second, and the Canadiens forged ahead on "Tib" Kennedy's lone rush. Then the Mar- oons opened up, and produced two fast goals, one of rather a flunky nature when Bert Gliddon shot from the corner which was deflected into his own teams nett off Goalie Dale's skate, and another was scored by Hugh Hawkins on a lone rush. The period ended 4-3. No goals were scored in the last period, but it was the most exciting of the game. Canadiens tried hard to tie it up, but were turned aside by the fast -stepping' Maroon defence. Sticks flew high and the game eel•- nnitrated in a little fracas, which the fans enjoyed as much as the players. Penalties were handed out to Streets, McIntyre, Carter, Tib. Ken- nedy, .Gliddon and •Clare Kennedy. Line up: Maroons: goal, Liver, more; defence, 'Hawkins, Streets; centre, Lever; wings, Carter, Tasker; subs, Lawson, McDonald, Chester Neilans, Clarence Neilans, Cudmore, 1VIclntyre.
