Routine business was attended to, :he only piece of new business being em resignation of Chief Stung, which vas'�handed in. The members thought ;his was a matter • the new eauneil ;hould deal with and the:resignation vas laid an the, table to be consider- by the incoming council. Regret vas expressed and the hope that Mr. tong would reconsider the matter. The citizens :generally will, we feel sire, also hope that Chief : Storig can ie,persuaaded to retain his post, as as • services have been very satisfac- dry and .much appreciated. i DEATH OE DR. TURNBULL Word came last week of the death, which occurred in. Vancouver,, of Dr, Jaynes L Turnbull. Dr. Turnbull at- tended Collegiate in Clinton and was well known to many in town and d - cinity.

Deegan ,will give: an address an "Chihdhife;" At this first meeting of the New Year it is hoped that all members, old and new,! will hand in fees: The Clinton Intermediates won their second game in as many starts from the fast -stepping Mitchell boys on local ice, last Friday evening, It was the first league game seen here this season and brought out a very enthusiastic crowd of fans. j The game: was very fast and :fair- ly free front foul play, with Clinton having a decided edge in play. Mit- chell appeared spotty, but the game was closer than the score would ind- icate. Less than two minutes from the start , Rath fired a hot one 'from centre ice and naught Casey in the Mitchell nets, off guard; he was standing having a friendly little chat with the goal judge, and en looking down discovered the puck nestled in the back of the nets. "Red" again scored on a similar shot a few mo- ments later, one which completely baffled Casey. Rath packs a wicked. shot and we'll wager he's going to 1, worry .opposing goalies before 'the season is over. Harold Gibbs, our very promising young right winger, made it 3-0 for the locals when Pickett passed. out from the corner and Gibbs scored needy. Mitchel! came to life and Leppard found the nets, and the period ended 3-1. Each team scored once in the se- cond period, with Streets scoring on a pass from Pickett. This line or Street, Pickett and Gibbs is a fast - skating, hard-Ichecldn'g line, and look quite able to shoulder their share of the teems duties. Porter- I field scored when lie swooped in to get the visitors last goal, when the homesters were a 'bit slow In I clearing. Porterfield was Mitchell's ; most effective player•. The period` ended 4-2 for Olieton. In the Vitra period, the 'line of Mc - Ewan, Holmes and M,hEwan took the spet-Iig`h't, when 'Frank romped in on a neat pass frmn brother Ross, and shot the puck over Casey. "Timmer" bas been giving the fans heart -fail- I ure this year, by his haliit of missing the nets, and pinning the goal post, but we think he's. got that out of his i 1 system, •anli wateh'the•goels from now f on. Shortly after Ross McEwan scored on practically 'the same play. "Pundit" .very seldom makes a fluke! when he is left to play with the goal - tender. 'lailm'es, although not scor-' ing, Played a nice game on right wing. Ile 'has 'hail 'less experience e than any player on the -team, and 'with proper coaching, will undoubted'- ly, develop 'into one of the best.

T, Hawkins . .... 91 Monday's election was something of a'surprise in some ways. It was a very disagreeable day and the walk- ing was very bad, but nevertheless a good proportion of the voters, that is something more than half of them, turned out to say who should manar;e the affairs of Clinton town for the year of our Lord 1935. Of course' a ituntber, the ladies, especially, were driven to the polls. The vote for the inayoraity was somewhat surprising. Before the votes were counted almost anyone would have said that the outcome was uncertain, both candidates were bound to have a good vote and very few would have wanted to place much money on either one. The overwhelm- ing, majority for Mr. Holmes was unexpected, to say the least, The reason for the result is no doubt explained for the most part by the fact that Mr. Holmes has been in the council for some years and has therefore been taking an active in- terest in municipal life, while Mr. Gibbings, although a former popular public servant, one who served as councillor, reeve and mayor, with credit to himself and also to the town in past years, has been out for so long that a number of the voters have little or no recollection of his services and they recorded their votes for the man who was before them as a councillor for some years past.

Murdoch, a new man, for the first time offering him- self as a candidate for the council, whir headed the polls. Mr. Murdoch, with characteristic modesty, explains this as "beginner's luck," but it seems to show a popularity with the voters which is encouraging to one who Is ;lust beginning public life. The other -new member of the council is H. C. Lawson. All the old members of the council :offering themselves were eleeted, 'Messrs. Cook, Inkley, Livermore and WI. Walker, each polling A good vote. 'There are at the council board now an Irishman, the reeve, an Englishman Mee Inlrley and Scotsman, Mr. Murdoch Reeve Geo. H. Elliott, who was re- ttu'ned by acc:amation, was born in Ireland, coming to this country as a little 'lad. Ile has farmed a bit and has travelled extensively. He spent several years in the State of Nevada 'in a reining camp, but came home to 'lookter his h s mother who was left a widow, and has lived here ever since. He still fawns, having the did home- stead in Goderich township, but for same years has lived in Clinton, fol- lows the profession of auctioneer and does something in the insurance line. He contested the riding of South Hu- ron in the last Provincial election and filled the position of warden of Huron County last year with credit to Himself and the county. Everyone knows and likes George Elliott and so pleased with his services on the coundil have Clinton citizens been that out of nine elections he has had five acclamations. He will again re- present Clinton at the County Council table during 1084.' LITTLE LOCALS Clinton Bear eats won from the Londesboro Beavers on their own ice on Saturday last. Mr. David Steep is in the hospital undergoing treatment. His many friends will hope for a speedy .and eomplete recovery. The 1935 council will be sworn in on Monday morning next and will meet in the evening to transact busi- ness.

S. Inkley, who though born in England now desires to be classed as a citizen of the country which he has adopted as his own. Mr. Inlciey was born at Spalding, Lincolnshire Eng" and• He came tc Canada in 1912, sailing two days las- er than the Titanic, and the ship on which he sailed cruised around the scene of the sinking of the giant ship far a couple of days in the hope of picking up survivors, though they found none He settled in Stratford first and secured employment with the Bell Telephone Company. From 1018 until the spring of 1919 he served with the Canadian forces overseas. Returning to Canada he again went to the Bell Telephone Co., but later went into the insurance business its Listowel for about three years. In April 1024 he came to Clinton as combination man for the Bell Com- pany and in 1025 went into the gar- age and hotel business, in which he is still engaged. He enters his third. year as councillor, Me.I tr hley has some excellent ideas on town .b'eautification and we hope he may be able to carry some of them out. He is one who believes that the - man who makes a spike of gladioli grow where a burdock was wont to flourish is a good citizen and we do, not care how catching the idea turns; out to be, Then this year we also will have a Scotsman at the council table, Mr. Paisley being the nearest approach to a Scotsman we've had, though a Cana- dian. Mr. George G. Murdoch, a roan who never before offered himself as a candidate for a public office and who then comes out and heads the polls as councillor, is the man. ;Rut• that is the way with his countrytnen;,, they aye like to be foreinaist. Mr' Murdoch, elder son of the late Capt.. Murdoch, was born in Aberdeenshire,. Scotland, where he spent his boyhood:.. The family -carne to Canada in 19.13, and he later recrossed the 'Big Pond to serve in the great war. The fam- ily came to Clinton in May 1928, Mr. Murdoch and his brother buying out- thechopping mill started by Messrs.. Andrews and Howes, which he has • continued to operate since. He is a- gcod citizen and one who has 'the • respect of all with whom he cordes ora contest. Ire has some ideas about civic affairs which he thought • he would' like to put forward and, con- sidering the town council the best place to put then forward, sought a seat at the .council 'board. That he will make a good councillor his friends are fully persuaded. The other new member, Me. Law- son, is "a native son," being a son' of Mr. Luke Lawson of town. He has not spent all of his comparatively short life in Clinton, but the greater part of it. ole is an insurance mare and it is to his credit that he is be- ginning at such an early age to take an interest in public affairs.
