PILE UP 8-1 SCORE IN SUDDEN
DEATH GAME WITH -THE ERIN
SHAMROCKS AT GALT . LAST
FRIDAY NIGHT.
SUCCESSFUL SEASON COMES TO
' A CLOSE
After failing in their quest for
the O,H.A. Intermediate "B" ..cha.ni-
pionship against Whitby, our Colts
came back last Friday night and
defeated Erin for the championship
in the North-Western hockey League.
The play-off in this league had been
held tip for some, time as the Colts
were tied up in the 'ad -LA. play-offs
and had no chance to make arrange.
ments for this game. However a
sudden death .game was played in
Galt and the Colts came out cham-
pions with the decisive score of 8-1.
There was little doubt of the bettei
team, Haat in fairness to the . Erin
boys it should be said that they were
handicapped by a three-week lay-off
yo
which doesn't do any team very much
good. Although the Colts had fair
sailing all the way, they did not show
their usual pep and form and looked
like a team who were ready to call it
quits for this season.
It has been one of the longest, and
most successful seasons that any
Clinton team has ever enjoyed and it
is the first time any hockey cham.
pionship,has ever come to Clinton.
So as the boys pack away their
outfits they no doubt have that sets -
fled feeling of work well done, and we
hope that next year sees them coming
back stronger and better than ever.
Red Rath scored the first goal 00.
assisted after 8 minutes of play.
Shortly after R. McEm*an • and Rath
combined for another, McEwan sear.
ing, and at the 'three-quarter mark
Rath scored again 'on a assist from
F. McEwan, Waters 'drew the only
penalty.
Erin opened the scoring' in the 'se-
cond, G. Horton scoring on J. Saun-
ders' pass for their: only goal. 'Wat-
ers came right back for the Colts and
made it 4-1. R. 1VfeEwan and Rath
finished the scoring, 1dtEwan scoring
on Rath's pass. Huxley was .the only
penalty.
Pickett scored for Clinton one nein.
ute after the opening of the final
period, to be followed by Streets on
a solo, and Pickett finished up the
evening's seaming on a pass front
Waters and Gibbs. The final score
was 8-1. O. Ifurren and Sinclair
drew penalties..
The game was clean and hard-
fought. Erin were last year's cham-
pions, and tried hard to retain, the
title, ibat lost out to a stronger and
better team. A. comparatively small
crowd was in attendance.

before a .physician could be summon-
ed he expired. The remains were
brought to Eketer, his former home,
and where four sisters reside, for
interment.
Mr. Huston was at : one thne a

chased by Mayor Holmes in Albert
street, west side, and which he has
had remodelled to suit the purposes
of the new tenant.
Things are not as yet quite settled
but when finished the quarters will
be ideal for-Mr.-MaeLeod's work. The
front has been changed somewhat, the
windows being made more like office
windows the large office into which
the door leads has a smaller private
office taken off the corner of it and
a partition divides the main floor
space, a store or stock room being left
at the back. The stairway, which
ran up., about half way back, has been
moved to the front and a doorway op -
errs direct to the street, so that the
board or assembly room. upstairs can
be reached without going through the
main office. Hardwood floors have
been laid and altogether the premises
will be both comfortable and convein-
ieit. Wjhen a short course is held in
Clinton again there will be ample' ac-
commodation for a couple of ,classes
without the trouble •of looking for

WOMVIEN'S INSTITUTE
•
The March meeting of the Women's
Institute was held last Thursday at
ternoon, with the president, Alis. J.
McKinley, in the chair. The meeting
was opened by singing the W. I. Ode
and repeating the Lord's Prayer in
unison. After the secretary's report
was read and adopted, the business
discussion and reports .of committee
convenors were given.
Rev. Ir. McGoun was to have given
an address but was unable to be pre-
sent .on account of illness, so in lieu'
of this address 'an interesting paper
on the life of the late Timothy Eaton
was read by Mrs. F. W. Johuston, A
fine program followed. 'Solos: were
contributed by Fred Snary and Roy
Tyndall, also by' Miss Shirley Henri,
Fanny Levis playing the accom-
paniment. A pleasing piano instru-
mental) trio was given by pupils of
Miss G. Greene. Misses Ellen Char-
lesworth and W!ilhelmine Trewartha
rendered a vocal duet, the latter play-
ing guitar accompaniment. This
brought a fine program to an _end and
a tasty lunch was served by the host-
esses, Mrs. N. W. Trewnrtha and het
committee.
SPRING FLITTING
:Spring is the logical time to change
residences and Clinton citizens have
been doing something' in this line dur-
ing the past week,
Mr. and Mrs. Ii. ;S, Turner, who
bave been residing in what we used
to know as the "White" cottage in
Rattenbury street, now belonging to
Mm. E. Ward, moved last week to
Goderichr.
M Turner having been
appointed to the customs office in
that port. Clinton ,citizems regret the.
removal of Ms and Mrs. Turner from
town but their good wishes ' follow
them to their new home.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner's removal may
have been a bit 'hurried by the fact
that Mr. and Mss. John W. Nediger
had disposed of their house in Maple
street to Mn. Pltuntre, who wished
to move into it at the first of the
month; Mr. and ,Mrs, Nediger are
now in the Ward cottage.,
My. Ernest Brown having purchased
Mi.'s. Dodd's residence, Raglan street,
in which Mir, and 1VIrs. Ed, Johnston
have been living, and wishing ,to take
possession, they have moved to the
Morrell house, Albert street.
Mr. and. Mrs. Jarnes Chewen, who
have been occupying the Jackson
house, 1Vlapie street, .axe moving to
the Anna Walker house, Victoria
street, vacated by Mr. and Mrs. D.
Brown.
Mx. and Mrs. Lloyd, who have been
resicl]ng in one of the Becker cottages
in Mary street have taken one of the
Normandie apartments and Mr. and
Mas. Barrett Taylor have moved into
the cottage thus vacated.,
Thus it will be seen that many eiti-
tens are endeavoring to become sett-
led, and most of these people are
young couplet, who are just now es-
tablishing homes : „or have but recent-
ly established thein. It is hoped that
all may gat comfortably settlei so
that they may be able to carry on
comfortably and happily in this good,
little old town of homes

After the reading and adoption of
the minutes of last meeting Reeve
Elliott and Councillor Lawson moved
that the tax roll be returned on Apr:
12th.
A resolution was read from ;the
clerk of the Kitchener city caunen
asking that the Governments, Pro-
vincial and Fod'eral, take over the
full cost of relief, and asking that
the council endorse same. Councillors
Murdoch and Lawson instead intro-
duced the foilowfng resolution:
"Whereas there are many unem-
ployed persons who have been re-
ceiving relief and manyothers may
require relief unless employment can
be found.
AND W3HERRAS' it is desirable
that employment be provided by
which unemployed persons could' pro
vide for themselves, and their de-
pendents, and thus minimize the ne-
cessity of ,paying relief.
AND WHEREAS it is desirable
that each .Municipality should be re-
sponsible for unemployed persons
ordinarily resident in such MunicipaI-
ities.
THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED
that, in the opinion of this Council,
the Provincial and Federal Govern-
ments should at once commit them-
selves to a policy by which two-
thirds of the labor costs of Municipal
undertakings such as repairs al-
terations and additions to Municipal
buildings, Mhmieipal drainage, street
improvement, or public utilities in-
stallation, extension or repairs, etc.,
should be assumed by such Govern-
ments and the remaining •one-third of
such labor costs and all costs of .nia-
WINS GOLD' IINEDAL
The following is from. the Hamil-
ton Spectator and refers to the elder
son of Mr. and Mr's. W. W. Cook of
town:
"Roy Cook, a student in theology
won the gold medal donated by the
Hamilton Advertising club at the or.
atorical contest that wound up the
season of the Men's Debating union
at McMaster last night... Mir. Cook's
subject was Youth and National Pre-
judice."
A DOUBLE-HEADER
Mrs. Roy Cantelon of Stanley
brake an egg the other day in the
routine of her housekeeping and was
surprised to find that it was a two -
in -one affair, a perfectly -formed,
hard -shelled egg being inside of a
very large egg. The egg was Iaid
by an ordinary Rock hen and it is
not known whether she was sending
out. a new sample or whether it was
just a prize package, which cannot
be expected to be repeated,
REGRET THEIR DEPARTURE
Great regret has been expressed by
the members' of the Ontario Street
United Church and Sabbath School at
the removal of ' Mr. Harold Turner
from the town, and as a tangible,
proof of -their regret he was present
ed with two occasional chairs and an
address before leaving on Wednes
day for his new home in Goderioh.
No time was taken to go to his home,
as he left somewhat sooner than was
expected, :but the chairs and the foi-
lowing address were sent to his home:
"Dear Harold:—It ie a ,matter of
great regret to us all to learn that
you are leaving us foe .other climes
by the lake, There 'are some who
leave us for which we often express
regret; for none of us like to see old
friends depart from us. In this
world of change we have to become
used to these things. Birt the fact
of your. going is' very different. For
you have been to us Head, hands and
Eyes. Your head has been used for
us in caring . far our financial prob-
lems ,in such a way that even the
most critical have been silenced, your
hands have always been ready , to'
help 1ift any burden that has coma
to us. Those eyes have detected lit-
tle things that have needed caring
for. And so we have learut to depend

And n1nw, on the eve of your depart'-

your acceptance of these gifts as 'a

A number of the citizens of Or-
ange and of adjoining streets peti-
tioned for a light south of Joseph and
after much discussion and a motion
by Councillors Cook and Walker that
a light recently placed on Frederick •
street be moved to this location,
Councillors Lawson and Murdoch
moved in amendment that the light
be left where it was and a new light
be placed on Orange, which seems to
be a long, dark block.
Nlr. James Cook wrote that he
-wished a clear road out from his
place, as there were several wires in
the way, and the mayor said he
thought Mr, Cook had a grievance.
As Supt. huntliall was' present he was
asked whose wires and poles were ob-
structing him and assumed council that
if the Hydro wires were an annoyance
to 1\Ir, Cook they would be moved. It'
was left for Mi. Runiball to look into
the matter.
Messrs, D. Kay, A. E. Runiball acid
G. D. Roberton were present as a
s
delegation from the Businessmen'A'ssoeiation, explaining that this or-
ganization was planning to give the
local hockey boys a .complimentary
banquet and also some tangible .gift,.
and asking that the council give a,
grant of 5100 towards these. gifts.
Mr. Kay was the speaker of the de -
nutation, When this matter carie up -
for discussion Reeve Elliott and
Councillor Murdoch moved that the
grant be given. Both spoke of the
fine bit of publicity the hockey boys
had given the town during the past
n
season and both thought the towas
-.t whole should have a -part in ack-
nowledging their appreciation of'
their efforts, Councillors Livermore -
and Walker moved in amendment
that the grant be 550, Mayor Holmes
thought perhaps no stated sum should`
be mentioned, but that whatever mon.
ey could be collected should be, the
council to make up what was need-
ed, but the original motion carried.
