THSI TOWN LEMNJE The town league etraged another efiouble header on Friday evening :Olen Livermore's 'Maroons and 0114don's :Maple Leafs took the ice fotr the first game, :the former squad wincing by 5-2 and consolidating their position at the top of the list iu the segs:Ws schedule to date. The game, though waxing slow at times, was on the whole a pretty fair ex- hibtion. Maroons' scoring honors were won ..by H. Johnson, S. Cook, R. Sncith: and H. Seeley, Johnsonac- counting for two, Whit; Carter regis- tered the Leafs' two counters. and Bruins staged the..seeond game, when spectators were given a • more thrilling exhibition of hockey, faster play and closer checking. Period one was closely contested and neither were able to score. in the second Brown and Hanley each counted and the per- rod ended 'onecall,Period three was. a .tussle, each team putting all they had into the play mbkit failing to teas. Aster and the final bell rung out a 1-1 tie gatte. Red Rath refereed both games and had few penalties to hand out. Some splendid 'hockey timber is 'being de- veloped in these local games; which should insure good material for fut T110 lee having, been cleared, H.awlcs tyre O,li,A. league teams, COLTS. MAKE IT TEN STRAIGHT IN ONLY GAME THIS WEEK DEFEAT WTNGHAM 7-2 Play Seaforth Tonight In the last scheduled O,H,A. league game to be pinked on home ice, the Colt's kept their winning streak intact by defeating the Winghatt} • Indians 7-2, in what proved to be the poorest exhibition of hockey seen here this season. Although the Celts Wero away be- low form, the Wingham boys failed to make it even. close at any stage of the game. rt was a good time for the homesters to get a bard g'ant:e out of their system, and although they did not show theirusual dash, and coinbination, they were the better team and deserved the win. The Wingham boys. had not won a game this year, and this perhaps was why the locals failed to produce their usual dazzling speed, being ins dined to make an easy night of it probably saving their best efforts for a stronger teats. The widest difference was in the firgtperiod when the locals scored five goals. Less than two minutes from the start Pickett scored on a pass out of the corner from. Gibb,h. F. Me- Ewan and R, McE'wan combined for the setomil, Frank scoring the goal. 'rhe lines changed and almost imme- diately Ken. Pickett and Harold Gibbs combined again for: the third goal. Bath and Gibbs followed shortly with another, Rath taking a pass from Gibbs to make it four. The McEwan boys finished up the ;period, Frank again taking a pass from Ross, to make It 5-0. Wlingham came close on one occasion when Livermore de- flected a high shot to the corner just in time. • Undoubtedly the 5-0 scorn was the reason the locals took it easy for the rest of the game, but in the second period they continued with tw6 more goals, Gibbs sinking. the rubber on both occasions, the first on a pass from Rath, and the last on a pass from Pickett. A serious 'disaster was narrowly averted in this stanza when Red Rath, with a Wingham player crashed into the boards, Red was helped off the iee, and much conster- nation was felt among' both players and fans, as fear was 'expressed that he had sustained some broken bones. This would have been very disastrous at this time, es Red is one of the moat valued members of the team, and is a tower of strength both en the offensive and the defensive. Ev- eryone was happy again when Doc. Thompson pronounced only a bad bruise, and outside -of having to nurse a sore erre, Red is O.K. The Colts have been fortunate in acci- dents all season, We Hope their ludk continues in this -respect, as well as every other. At the end of the per- iod the score was 7-0. The thin] period saw the tables turn and Wiine:ham: had the edge. The locals were not 'rack -checking very closely, end Livermore, in the nets, was given, a real 'try-ottt, Somers scored for Wingham on a high shot which Livermore did not see, and when the period was 'half over he re- peated on a similar shot to stake it 7-2. The visitors came close on sev- eral occasions, and were playing much stronger and better organized hockey in this stanza. Zeulauf in the Wingham nets stopped several hard drives, and Kel. Streets and Cee. Holmes were completely autluckedon several occasions. cos ons. get They'lltheirs to -night in Seaforth. The final score was 7-2. There was a slight change in the local line-up, "Poodle" Livermore, sub -goalie' being in the' nets, and Owen Combs being given a chance on the defence. Both turned in a good performance, and proved that if oc- casion arises, the .locals have plenty of reserve forces at hand.

The Colts go to ,Seaforth tonight for the final game of the schedule, be- fore the play-offs.

No doubt a large number of fans will he going down to see the game, and it should be the best of the season, The Colts have 14 points out of a possible 16, and although they are sure of first, place in the group, it would be 'fine •.to see thein wind up. the regular schedule without a de- feat.

A POPULAR CITIZEN The following was clipped from the Border 'Cities .Star and refers to a `Clinton Collegiate boy, and the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lyon of Hulled: "Dt'. E. K. Lyon, a prominent Leamington physician, has been el- ected president afl the Leainington Liberal Association for the .corning year, }Ie is also president of the Leamington Lion's Club. Several months ago he was appointed coron- er for this district" LIBERAL SOCIAL EVENING The Liberal Club held an enjoyable meeting in their ,club rooms over Hawkins' store on Friday evening last, when a large number gathered to have a good time together. A pro-- gram ro.grant of musico numbers was given Mr. Wm. McEwen taking the chair. IIe promised a treat in the near fu- ture, a smoker and a good speaker. Mr,J. R. Stirling gave a couple of comic songs and Mr. Fred Mutch and Master Bobbie Morgan delighting those present with their contributions, the former with his pipes and the latter with the drum. Bobby In knits and manipulating those sticks is a sight for sore eyes, surely. Af- ter enjoying refreshments, dancing was indulged in far° a time and it was voted a fine evening's enjoyment. "CHICK" COMMENTS "Chick'', in the Sporting page of "the 'Stratford BeaconlHeread ,on Monday had the following to say a- bout the Clinton Colts. We would remind the world, however, that alt these chaps learnedto play their 'hockey right 'here, in Clinton rink. They've been playing since they couird walk, also the McEtvan •broth- ers have a kid •brother that we'll back against the best In a few years. "Clinton hockey fans ,can, well feel proud of their Colts,, who, so far, 'have gone through the season's schedule withiout a reverse,; - They are rated as the best team, Clinton has had for many years, which is no eurlmise to this column when you stop to consider that two former Stratford players are on the roster of the Clinton li ton'" Colts oft this season. . `"Punch" McEwan, who was formerly emplioyed in Stratford and played left wing alongside of "Sonny" Townsley on the' .Stratford Indians, is one of these players,' and local fans can easily recall the beautiful combination that Townsley and bite - Dean pulled off when they were playing their hockey for the Indians. "Punch's" home is in Clinton, . and when he is, travelling down the cen- tre lane he is accoinlpanied by a younger brother on the left boards, while flanking him on the right Is Harold Gibbs, another Clinton young- ster who was a member of the Strata ford NQidgets :last Winter. Incidentally, Clinton has a direct interest in the Stratford Midgets this season as Ellwood Campbell, a native of that town, is playing • . for the Midgets this season and also played for them last winter. "Spiff" Campbell, as .this column has dub- bed hini, played alongside' of Get- liffe and Desilets on the Midgets' first string line last winter and pros ed that he was the equal .of most left -winders In junior hockey: ,Campbell is getting more goals this season than he did last winter, and is ,one of the train cogs in the Mid- gets' front dine. Ile is ' a papular member of the Midgets, and if Clin- ton has any more like him we will be glad to see them wearing •Stitat- ford colors next 'Winter." WOULD LIKE GAMES ON AIR Mr. E.., Mitchell, writing• the other day from Windsor to renew his sub. to the News -Record, says; "Best of luck to the Colts. Must we farmer 014ntonians who are: watching with interest the wonderful record of :this. team, wait until they reach the championship finals before we hear ;these games on the air?" "CINDERS"•HAS GONE On her return to Cobourg last week Miss Gwen Haltn.es took withher her Airdale, "Cinders", which her fah - en had kept here for the past few yrs since her departure from town, arranging with some -of the neigh - hors to look after the dog during his absence each winter, Miss Holmes ;will: give the dog to a farmer near Cobourg. "Cinders" wasknown to everyone in Clinton, as she had the ran of the town, and she was devoted to her master, 'the late Rev. A. A. ISolnies. It was often noted how much brighter and happier she seem- ed when he was home' and she could follow him about, and he had her trained and to . implicit . un tt o edis ' e. p b nc We hope "Cinders" finds a comfortable and happy hone.

The Course prov- ed to be a great success. The enroll- ment in the home Economics class was 86. This is the highest in the fifteen courses held in Huron Coun- ty. The previous high enrollment had been fifty-five. There were thirty-two boys en- rolled, which was slightly snore' titan the average number for each Course.

Mr. Ian MacLeod, the local representative, acted as Mas- ter of Ceremonies for the evening. The programme included the reading of the class paper by Miss Elnora Itl;elnnis. The paper was edited iiy 1VXi ses ElnoraEileen At- kinson and Evelyn Hall; a solo by. Miss Carol Evans, accompanied by Miss Edna Elliott; a slcit "An Old-. Fashioned Mellerdrammer", musical selections by the Lobb brothers; a solo by Miss Marion Gibbings, ac- companied by Miss Elva Wliltse, a one -act play, "A- Good'Girl in the Kitchen.." At this, point Mr. MacLeod intro- diced the special speaker for the evening, Rev. W. A. Young of Hen. asli. ` Mr. Young offered congratula- tions on the excellence of the Course held in Clinton, adding, that echoes had reached Hensel', inspiring•,those citizens to apply for a Short Course. In addressing the younger members of the audience, Mr. Young emphas- ized the fact that farming was a dig- nified profess -ion. Farming is the most important and essential bust.. ness of the whole world. Farming need not be a drudgery, because drudgery comes when a person is not interested in his work. We should find the type of work itt which we ane interested and apply ourselves men- tally and physically. We must have interest in our work, because when we aro 'older, it is from our work that we derive our chief pleasure.. Mr, Young suggested that the farm- er should have good stock and in- terest his sons ip the stock, let thein share the work and be proud of the result. We should all realize the precious heritage that we have received from. the brave pioneers, who cleared the trackless forest, and now to -day we live in the best agricultural country, I of the world. The heritage that we' enjoy to -day has come about by i each generation adding something to their inherltanee. That is our duty to -day. We must add some-, thing as our share in the work that , has been going on for thousands of: 'years. Fanning is the most ancient and honotrabI•e of professions. Four thpussind years ago, ' when people - came out of savagery into •civiliza- tion, the first -thing they did was tea tape up farming, Farthing' is de- scribed by the ignorant as the joie for those strong of back and weak or mind. This is not 'so. The modern, farmeruses his head. He needs to, be a mechanic, scientist, chemist,;., Farming requires the .blest that a+ man can give. Mr. Young pointed out that we are all rooted in the: ' soil, For those who are not now ac-• tively engaged in farming we need go back only a few generations, tee find that their ancestors were farm- ers. Mir. Young then suggested a - few ways of making the farm a. home to be proud of and a place where one wants to live and worlc.. We should remember to wove and` play, not to week so hard that we forget to live. We should spend some time in beautifying the house and'. grounds. Mr. Young admonished the. young men to think when theyask' their ladies to share their dives on, the farm. They:' shouldnotforget to, add Ilaboua-saving ,deviices for thee ladies, when they buy new machinery.. In concluding I*. Young' said f`Go•, home after the Shari C_ ouese, makee home what it ought to he, magnify your profession—walk proudly a- mong your fellow men, You have the finest' job on earth. The whole - world .will envy you." 1VfaeLeod called the prize-win.- ners to the platform and the prizes were ' distributed by the instraetois; as follows: The girls' section -Clothing.' lVpsr.
