Hospital Association The poetp'aned meeting of Clinton Community Hospital As elation was held in the council' the bet;'• on Thursday afternoon last, a very small attendance. No doubt the fact that the m ing had been postponed and had p haps not been sufficiently announ Iater, had something to do with small attendance. Or perhaps general .public is so well' Isatisfi with the way the hospitai is c dieted that it is quite well conte to let the board carry on as they fit. Mrs, R, I•I. Johnson, president f the past two years, .occupied t chair, Mjfss Rena Pickett, secreta Oh calling the meeting to order Johnson asked for the reading of t minutes of the last annual meeti 'which were declared adopted. M Johnson explained that it was the sire of the advisory board Last y that the officers should remain their posts during the year, as th had the business of the new wing hand and should finish it, That b ing •over the new board would to office immediately and a striki committee was appointed to chaos a slate, for the coming year, to b presented at Tuesday's meeting. On the suggestion of the preside it was decided that he t hospital yea should end on September 30th, whic the end of the year as far as th Government is coneorned, and a which time all government report must be sent in. The ending . of th year in February has entailed extr work in preparing reports for th superintendent p ntendent and the treasure which.. the ehanging ,of the date wil overcome. The officers now appoint ed will hold office, therefore, unt' September 30th, 1986. It was decided to add the names of Dr. P'"itzpatriek •of Blyth and Dr. Smilie of Hensall to the advisory board. • • Interesting reports wore given by the head of the various committees, by 'Superintendent Grainger and lay Treasurer R. E. Manning. Mrs. Johnson spoke in high terms of the efficiency of the superinten- dent and staff during the past year, when alterations where boingl made and the work carried on anter diffi- eulties, and of splendid co -opera- lion given the •board.by staff and by the doctors in anything undertaken. "Last year," she said, "we were all worked up over the new wing. Now it is completed and we have almost everything we need, a 'hospital of whieh we are proud and the oominun- ity.shonld be proud." It was explained ;that the money borrowed will be all paid back 'in due time; a Hinting fund biding prodided for the purpose. Mrs. Johnson, en behalf of the board, warmly thanked the members ei the building committee for their splendid work during the -past sea- son, She said it entailed a great deal of worst, width had been dheer.- fully given. The hospital' board and, the community were endebbed to the members of this committee, Mi•. Maris ning, who was the,- only member pre • sent, thanked the president for her kind words and .said that while the teak did entail some hard work it was really, enjoyed by the members.

Review, and refers to the death of a native of Clinton, whose death was . briefly mentioned last week: "The sad news of the death at Bella Cola of.Mr. William Fleming reach- ed Revelstoke yesterday afternoon. Word had been received the previous day that he was seriously ill but few believed that death would follow so swiftly. Mr. Pleating left Revelstoke a lit- tle •over a week ago for Bella'Copia to resume direction of government mattress work there.

L. Townsend, Buffalo Street, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding, when friends parti- cipated in a delightful social.

Many :beautiful gifts were re- ceived by Mi•. and ME's. Townsend, with wishes for more happy anniver- saries. A PLEASING RECITAL An interesting piano recital was given by pupils. of Miss Beatrice Greene on a recent evening' at the home of M;r. and Mrs. J. A. Sutter. Rattenbury street. Eighteen pupils took part in the program, ro and the g o capacious cions p rooms were filled to overflowing with par- ents and friends, who listened inter- estedly to the piano soles, duets and trios. Miss Eva Stackhouse of Brueefield gave an interesting reading, which was heartily encored. Master Fraser Thompson son of Load esbo• to delighted shred the audience with his violin. Several of the children played duets with their mothers, which was aappre-. crated. A pretty little dance was put on by Harriet Frentlin, accompanied on the piano by Margaret Lockwood. MISS COIJRTICS HONOURED Miss Sybil Courtiee, a Clinton girl, �daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. 11 Conrtice of town, who has been a missionary in Japan for a number of years, was ,honoured Iby being elected president of the Canadian As- s'ociation of Tokyo and Yokahama at a meeting of the organization at the Canadian Legation at Tokyo last week. Miss Courtiee is now prin- cipal of the Tokyo. Eiwa Jojakko, (Oriental, .English and Jap- anese academy for girls') which is a Canadian organization. .she is the second woman to have been elected to the position of president of the Canadian Association. Miss Courtiee is the sister of Miss Harriet Cour- tice of Clinton. By some mistake the press asso- ciation sending the above news to the daily papers gars Miss Courtice's home as Mltehell. But her home has always .been 'here and her sister' still keeps up the old home, to which she eemes when 'an furlough, "WESLEY PARSONAGE" SOLD Ma.

At ter a very gruelling and very eve series, in which a third game • was necessary, the Colts finally emerge the winners in Tuesday's game, wire they won the game by a score of 3-2 the round 9 to 8. It will ibe cement hexed that Clinton won the first gam here by a'score of 5-4, but on return ing to Durham., were defeated by on goal, 2-1. rneidentally this was th first game the Colts had lost in theta H.A. this year, and it left the roue tied at 6 -all. So•when arrangement were completed for the third gain which was ordered played in Galt everyone started digging up the spare nickles and dimes and took themsel ves off' to the game, and no one was disappointed. Two teams could not have been more evenly matched. What the Colts lace ' lacked experience, e theymore p , or than trade till in speed and deter .tninatfon. The Durham team had several older players on their line-up and while some of them could not match the speed of our locals, they proved vary dangerous amen whenev- er they came in close on the nets. It is interesting to estin to note to how costly pen- alties can prove in a hockey game of this type. Of the three games played, in which the penalties were fairly evenly divided, Durham +scored 6 of their 8 goals when the Colts were short-handed. Every time the Colts were a man short, they put on a power play that had the Meals baff- led most of the time and one which almost ruined the nerves of the fans. t t as flashed for the first counter and the ar Clinton fans .roared approval, Short- ly after, the thing most feared hap- - petted. Kennedy took a .penalty and' e Durham applied the pressure and Reybould, parked hi front of the, d Clinton net, took a pass from Deana. en and with Elliott sprawled on the ice , shot the equalizer into the open- - twine, much to the delight ofDur.• e :harry supporters, Play raged from - end to end at a terrific pace, and at e sixteen minutes R. IhrcEwan put the. e Colts one up on a 'beautiful effort.. Working in close "Panels" picked up• d a. pass and drawing Shute to.one side,. s slipped the .puck into the other. A - e gain the Clinton faithfuls rood' , their approval. The period ended 2-1 for Clinton. With Clinton playing a man short in the second, Durham was pressing- for ressing for the tie goal, when Ken. Pickett broke in on the Durham defence and with the Durham team in hot pursuit he rushed din on Shatz t • shot but , t b , Shatz saved, Pickett picked nn his awn rebound and scored to put the Colts two up. The Clinton stock rose fifty per cent, in that one jump, but began to waver again when Ken- nedy again was waved to the box. Throwing caution to the wind Durham sent t ever man a upand ,tae Ray - bold, R y bould, like the great play -maker he is, slipped a pass to Demi parked in front of the Clinton nets, wha brought the big team within hailing distence of the locals. Per the rest of the period Durham forced the play and Clinton was hard-pressed to hold their lead. However the period ended 8-2 for the Colts. The third period, though productive of no goals, was the most exciting and one which had fans on their feet most of the time. From the start with nothing to loose and everything to gala, Durham kept play inside of the local defence for almost the en- tire period. It was here that 'we saw one of the finest pieces of net -mind- ing in our experience. Wirth three and four Durham players coming in in a wave time after time, Geo. Elliott saved and smothered (shots from all angles. He..had the crowd in a panic with his fine work and even Durham' fans could not help but admire him,. It seemed that ke was bound to give way on one of the shots but to- gether with the fine checking of the • forward they held the one goal ad- vantage and after a time that seemed like eternity the gong went to end one of the most :hectic periods, and' one of the test games we hope ever' to see. Geo. Elliott was unquestionably the • star of the game. Every man on both • teams gave all he had and all were' nearly exhausted when the game was, over. R. McEwen,. gen. Pickett and' Cee. Holmes played consistently fors. the locals and "Dyke" Waters on -de- fence was a tower of strength at all times. It is hardly fair to pick any individual player as every one de- serves honourable mention. For Durham Raybould and Currie• were always, dangerous, with Ray-- bould being outstanding. They were a great team, and wets just as great in. defeat as the Colts were in win- ning. - . Referee "Speedy" Oliver handled a tough game to the` satisfaction of rill. And now almost before we get back to normal from this hard fought round,: both Colts and fans aro turn- ing urn.. ing:toward•another, and a more im- portant series, when they take On Whitby, the ho 'nn • tui es y r of everything > v ything in the' east, - and with ,the Championship • at stake, it is bound to be a realtbat- tle. Clinton goes to Whitby, the Baine to be played in Oshawa torte's - row night, with the return game to ,be playedin Galt on lifonday night.. That is the arrangement at the pre- sent time. It is too bad that ice Cane nat be obtained either here or in some closer point, but the nearest artificial, ice 'obtainable is' iii Galt, so we have no doubt the fans will turn out to' a, man to cheer an the •Colts. In putting out this team the Colts accomplished no mean fes when it is' considered that Durham was composed of a picked team from the north, whieh included a couple of reinstated pros. and from the start they were favorites to win the 0. H, A, championship. 'however, nothing was known, and little said, about the Oohs who are all home- thews, and who battled away • all through the season, with little oppo- sition, finally winning the group, thus qualifying to meet Ilderton in the first round of the semi-finals, and finally the big moment arrived when they clashed with the big team from the north. New that they have checked them off their fist they .are nearing the goal they Have cherished all year, that of a chance at the O.H. A. Championship, and they are wor- thy representatives from this part of the provincb to meet Whitby for the championship of Ontario in Inter- mediate "B",.. If they should win, it will be the first time sueh an honour has ever come to our town, and by the way things are'shaping and the enthusistem that is being shown, the home fans will and should just about give them tiie town if they came through. Well to gat back to the lost game on Tuesday night, so many people from Clinton and vicinity were there, and the game has been played over so many: times,' wherever you found two or three talking that we doubt if its necessary for us to say much about it, but in case you don't know that we havea hockey team that stands a. good chance of being this year's Ontario Champions here goes': After some delay' caused .by the reeking of erre of Geo, Elliott's kates, the game got going, amid the cheerio of re than g. mo a 2,000 fans, re- presentative of the whole of Western Ontario. . The large lee surface as- sured everyone of a wide-open game and such it proved mostofthe way. Bath .goal -tenders werestars, with Elliott` -being positively sensational especially in the last period and the last 'half of the second.
