After the reading of the minutes of last meeting a ;communication was read from the Collegiate Board ask- ing the. co-operation of the town council in discouraging the pupils of Public school l o and •Collegiate from using the highway coming and going to school. On motion of .Councillors Inkley and Gook the ,council asked the parents to co-operate with the council and school boards in an ef- fort •to.have the pupils use ..the side- walks instead of the highways, thus diminishing accident hazards. The auditors' report was received and adopted. • The matter of a grant to the town band was laid over until next month. 'Considerable discussion regarding the town park was indulged in and it was decided that the park committee meet the property committee of the Collegiate board to see about some. evergreen trees which may be ob- tained from the Collegiate grounds. The committee is to report to the council next month. On motion of -Councillors Liver- more and Lawson Mayor Holmes was given permission to erect a false front before his' store property west side of Albert street while altera- tions are being made. Chairman Murdoch of the cemetery committee reported that there were four or five trees on the south side of the 'cemetery which . should be cut down and after some dissucsion a motion, moved by Councillor ltfutdoeh .and seconded by Councillor Liver- more, was passed that "certain trees between the main gate •and the east end of the cemetery be cut, the work to be done as a relief measure." ' 'Chairman Lawson of the charity committee reported two families on full and two on partial relief. On motion of Reeve Elliott and. Councillor 1Nlurdoch a grant of $100 was voted to the Spring Fair. Chairannn Murdoch of the special committee reported that the Agricul- tural Representative was paying the sum of $15 towards the cost of coal for the short course.

Tur- ner has keen appointed to the Cuss toms office in Goderich, filling the vacancy left when Mr. A. Porter re- tired last year.' Mir'. Turner took ov- er his new duites on Tuesday. It is ten years since Mr. Turner was appointed to the post in Clinton, on the retirement of Mr. John Wise- man, and he has filled it to the satis- faction of the general public, We can heartily recommend, him to the people of the County Town, while we keenly regret his removal from town, He has taken a keen interest in Leg- ion affairs, being secretary of the local branch, and, until very recently alma of the County ,organization. He. has also been an active worker ih Ontario street United church and Sunday school, being an official on both boards. The personnel at the Government building in Clinton has :been com- pletely changed during the past year, Mr. Counter being appointed postmaster, filling the vacanice caus- ed by the death of the late James Scott; Mr. Howes being appointed caretaker of the property, on the're- tirement of M4. Walton, and now the removal of Mr. Turner, Mr. Turner's successor has not as yet been appointed, Mr. Purser of Wallaeeburg is relieving officer rn 0liniton until a new appointment is made. Far the present Mr. and Me. Turner will remain in Clinton, their many friends are glad to know, but probably not longer than the opening of spring. Their removal will be much regretted.

Clancy of Guelph has beau appointed C.N.R. agent in Clin- ton, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. G, VanlIorne some weeks ago. Mr. Clancy has +been acting as a relieving agent for some tune, with his headquarters in Guelph, but prior to that he was stationed at Preston. 11Tp'. Clancy has a wife and four chil- dren,two of whom are in Collegiate 10 Guelph and this offers a bit of difficulty in the way of a speedy Settlement in Clinton, as it doesn't seen just fair to the students to Oreak in on the school term. Howev- er, even if they do not settle in Clin- ton until the surnnser vacation time, the .Clancy family are to all intents and purposes now citizens of Clinton and as such we bid them welcome to our town and hope their sojourn 'here may be a pleasant one. :Mr. Vanitorne, who took the posi- tion on the retirement of 511'. Patti- son, has made hosts .of friends during his stay in Clinton and he and his family have become permanent and much esteemed residents of town: It was keenly regretted thatserious eye -trouble hurried his retirement, although .he might have ,claimed it earlier had he not been in such good health and unwilling to avail himself of therivile •e. His friends hope g o r n le that a continued rest will partially restore the use of his eyes and that many happy years are still ahead or the genial ex-C,N,R. agent.

ILDERTON ICICLES NO MATCH FOR SMART CLINTON COLTS VISITORS HELD SCORELESS IN FIRST .GAME IN SEMI-FINALS SCORE 5 TO 0 Return Game Likely To Be PIayed Tomorrow Night' Last Monday night, in the local arena, the Clinton Colts and the II. deuton Icicles met in their first game in the semi-final play -dawns of the O.H.A, Intermediate "B." Local fans looked forward to this game with a gee at at deal of pleasure, and some with an equal amount of anxiety, as some of the more timid fans feared that the outcome might be disastrous for the Colts, As is always the: ease, considerable street talk hadgone the rounds and ag a i'esult'large -numbers received the idea that Ilderton was a team to be reckoned with. Consequently, when Monday night rolled around, and long before the game got under way the arena was jammed to the rafters with hockey enthusiasts, a large portion of whom of course, were home -town people, and also a large number from surs rounding districts, and it is very en- couraging to see the numbers of rural followers the Colts have this year. Also the visitors were not without plenty of support, they having char- tered a special train, and about one hundred and fifty of 'their• followers came up to cheer their begs along. It turned out however that they didn't have much ieause to cheer and they must have gone home a rather deject- ed ejected tat. However someone had to be the loser -we're glad it was them. Stetting tine eventually came and about twelve hundred howling fans were on deck. When the visitors came on the lee several 'of their players looked like real huskies, and all through the game these big boys tried to use their weight, and we believe that if they had played more hockey and forgot the bumping they might have been more successful, as it was, they ap- peared cumbersome and rather slow aud at times were unable to cope with the smaller forwards of the Colts, who continually evaded the hard body -checking of the visitors. They have two speedy forward Iines but on the night's play they lacked the finish and speed of the locals. It was a shame that the. weather was not more favourable and that the ice had not been in better shape. Period one started out with 2loth teams sparring' for an opening, but the defences held well, particularly the locals, who seem to be rounding into a real hard-hitting defence Streets, Pickett and Gibbs started the fire -works. Immediately they came on the ice they rushed in and Stree;,s bulged the twine for the first counter, and incidentally relieved the tension of local fans. The fine team play of both local lines :had the visitors gues- sing at all times. Iides-ton made sev- eral attempts but the Colt'.s defence refused to break and Elliott was nev- er in serious trouble. Penalties were scarce in this period, mainly becausee the referee forgot to put on his gime. ses. Before the end of the period Streets took a pass from Gibbs and again scored to put the locale two up The second period saw the boys on both teams using the body to good effect and play was mostly confined to the centre zone with any dangerous rushes being spoiled by rolling' pucks. This was the visitors blestperiod and penalties, to the locals kept them in hot water at different times. The visitors seemed to tire and the third period- saw the Colts romping around and Chapman hada merry (Continued on page 4) 1101/Vi IT COMES 'BACK The News -Record pays its wages weekly, 'sometimes ; we have to do some scratching about to do it but itrll;Saturday is pay day in this of- fice, and last Saturday was no ex- ception.

Satq ay night hockey game has: been played in Clinton, but it seems toy' be a fairly popular night as there were' between four and five hundred present,' for the game here last Sat- urday between Kincardine and Clin- ton, a very good crowd for the con- dition of the weather and the bad roads. There were quite a few fans from Kincardine Who did their best to cheer their boys along. The ( >r_e was not in very good shape and the kind of combination that was dished up, particularly by the locals,, , was a ,pleasant surprise to the fans, who thought that it would be im- passible to play nice hockey on this sort of ice. The soft ice may have hampered the Kincardine boys some too. One thing that was in evidence was their lack of combination, and their lack of team play proved their downfall. They have several nice players on the tenni and are a good bunch of sports.: The game was par- ticularly clean, the homesters coating out with a clean sheet, which is very u}rusual-while the visitors drew four penalties, all for minor -infrac- tions of the rules, The first period started fairly ev- en, with both teams testing the other out, and about five minutes had e- lapsed when the Pickett -Streets -Gibbs line went into action, charging in close they wonted a three-man pass, Gibbs to' Pickett, who passed to Streets who drew first blood for the locals. Before the period ended Mc - Ewan 13ros, and C. Holmes came on, and F. M'cEavan made it 2-0 on a nice combination play with R. Me - Ewan. "Red" Rath happened with a very regrettable accident when he received a nasty cut from a "shinny" stick on the back of the head which required several stitches before the wound was closed. He, however, re- turned to the game at the beginning of the second period with his head swathed in bandages. Any hopes Kincardine had of hold- ing the score down was shattered in the second period when the locals ran the score up to 7-0. From the drop of the puck they swanned a- round the Kincardine net and during the entire period the Kincardine boys were on the run. C. Holmes scored first on a pass froin F. 1VTcEivan and Rath, The lines changed and ICen- Pickett and Doug. Kennedy scored again for the locals,: Pickett scoring• the goal. Pickett and Gibbs followed up with another, Pickett scoring on. Gibbs' pass. F. Mc]wan and R. Mc Ewan works info • a pretty d r goal;, Frank scoring' from close in.

With . the exception ,of this goal, he had very little chance to save on any of the others, with three (Continued on page 4) ANNUAL POSTPONED Owing to illness on the part at several who are specially interested the annual meeting of •the.
