The opening meeting of our X.P.S. was a very successful one, the pro, gram 'being of an excellent and in- teresting nature. Our one regret was that the attendance was' below the usual average, only: about thirty 'bee ing persent. We hope to ,see the remainder of our:members out this coming Friday., ' Miss Jean Webster, president, was in charge of the meet. ing which opened with the singing of hymns, Miss Charlotte Trew'artha playing •the siccompaniments.

S'aturday's Game, But Were Un- able • Te Held The Higle-Stepping !Mosley Colts. Failure To Flit Was Largely Responsible. Chesley Wins Second Game 4To2 The Chesley Colts won the Bruce League Intermediate B. ;Champicm- ship from theClinton- Colts •last Saturday by the close score pf 4.2. I their was second straight win, and gives the •Chesley boys the right to continue on in the playdowns. We congratulate them and wish them all kinds of sucoess. While it may be regretted that the locals did not go further, it is natter for congratulation that they attained the measure el success they did, when. one considers that this was their first year in, organized ball, and that even in their gown group prac- tically all opposing teams were strangers' to them. If the same team is intact next year, and with proper coae)tenge they should even give a betted account of themselves than this year. Saturday's game, even though the locals lost, was a much better game than the one witnessed here earlier on in the week, which no one wishes to recall. It seemed that all year the locals played their best ball away from home, and this was rather disappointing to local sup, porters. Anyway, on Saturday, the Meals, although failing t!a display their usual power at bat, had settled down considerably afield, and the re- sult was the close score of 4-2. Clin- ton collected only three safe 'hits. off McCartney, who was the lad who pitched so eapa!bly in the first game here — somehow, that first game keeps flashing up in our memory,— he also bad 12 strikeouts, Chesley collected 12 hits tiff two Clinton pitchers. Clinton scored twice in the second when Hawkins sing- led, Hovey walked and "Riley" Johnston drove them home with a nice single. Chesley scored one in the third when Schneider singled and came home on Gregg's long double. Their other three runs came in the sixbh. Thompson singled, McCartney got on forcing out Thompson. Wilcox doubled and Craig walked to fill the bases. After Sinclair popped out, Peterson came through with his third hit to eoove McCartney and Wilcox. In the attempt to catch Peterson at second Craig scored to make it four to two. Hawkins, with two hits and John- ston with one, were the !only locals to connect for safeties during the en- tire game. Well, we can, forget ball and start talking hockey again It won't be long now, and prospect nor as good a team as last year, and maybe better, look good at the present time. Incidentally, Harold !Gibbs, last year's .starry young right-winger, sustained a fractured ankle Iasi week while going about his daily duties. We hopeit does not leave any bad effectsas the possible weakening or loss ref the firey "Gibby would in- deed be a blow to the local team and fans alike. ' CONCLUDE SPECIAL SERVICES On Sunday, September 8th, the congregation of St. Paul's Anglican church continued ,their special ser- vices in honour 4f their hundredth anniversary. At the morning 'ser- vice the rector, Rev, K, MeGoun, was assisted by Rev. J. H. Colelougli of West hill, Ontario, who is,a form- er resident of Clinton. The sermon was preached, by Rev. Mr, Celciough, who chose as his text, "And }Ie said unto then, all, if any man will come after nie, let him deny 'himself, and take up his •erdss daily, and follow me, For whosoever "shall' salve his life' •shalllose it, but whosoever shall lose bis life' for any sake, the some 'shall' save it." Rev., MT. MeGoun chose as his text at the evening service this passage, "On. this Rock will I build any Church."

A citizen who occupies a largehouse, with ,a lower kitchen at the !hack, h as a tall chimney on this kitchen, to carry the smoke ever the roof. The other day while busy in her kitchen the lady of the house heard' something fussing around in the pipe from the kitchen range. She thought it was a squirrel which had comedown tees long Chimney and being alone in the Mouseshe could not take down the pipe to' release it but she took off the lids of the stove and, thought it might get out this way. However- it •did not and later she heard a tapping down at the bottom, behind the oven, so she op- ened a little vent used to -remove the Boat, and out walked a large wood pecker. But the strangest pare is yet to be revealed, this bird, which had atoms down that chimney had practically pecked a Rola about three inches wide and five or six inches long in the sheet iron bottom of that range. Had another way not been opened for - him be would soon halve liberated himself. It it the first time we halve ever heard of a woodpecker pecking hie way through iron. ' But the •bird seemed unharmed. He rest- ed a bit after getting out then flew off,- no doubt to hunt up his family and relate his strange experience. A.
