FUNIIRAL OP JUDGE NYE Judge Nye of Moorhead, Minn., mention of whose sudden death ap- peered iu last week's issue, was giv- e military t t ati Buri m � a �h ' a 1 he having been A g a military man who had taken part in the ',Great War, The funeral was attended by lawyers, judges, soldiers and citizens and many high tribute, paid him. In a leading editorial re the Moorhead a Daily News, published the day of the funeral, we read, af- ter a summary of his"work for the eomnvunity in so many ways: "Beyond all these things. which represent the outward deeds, there was the man himself—the neighibos, the shrewd and kindly morn who en- joyed friendships and shared in the joys and sorrows of others; the ratan Who enjoyed few things more than the flowers and. vegetables he grew in his excellent garden; the man who delighted in books and the conversa- tion of thinking people; the man who, while his mind Was 'often occu- pied with weighty decisions, appre- ciated the humor .of life perhaps no less' than, his famous humorist broth- er. It. was such qualities that ,made him by profession a; splendid jurist and by nature a prince among men, Judge Nye was a brother-in-law of Mrs. A. J. Tyndall of Clinton. DIPLOMAS AND PRIZES On another page of this issue, mi- lder the heading of Collegiate News, will be found a report of the Com- mencement, held in the •auditorium on Thursday and Friday .evenings last week, so we do not repeat the he news. But we wish to say that the program given was very much en: joyed by large audiences each even- ing. On Thursday evening the prizes for athletic -sports, etc., were pre- sented by the Rev. F. G. Farrill. Following are the names of those taking the prizes this year: (a) Clinton Field Day Champions Senior Girls' Champion—N. Cook, V. Fremlin (tied). Senior Boys' Champion R. Pass. more.

McInnes,' Andrew McKenzie, Sadie Munnings, Gladys Radford, ' James, Reynolds, Wilma Roweliffe, Myrtle Thomson, Robert Thompson, Mary Turner. •' Miss Violet Fremlin was preeent-. ed with the Essay, Prize. A BOLD THIEF Clinton had a bit of a burglary on Friday night, The residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy, Ontario street,. was broken into while she was at- tending the Commencement exer- eises and ,some money and, jewelry stolen. Miss Nixon of the Collegiate staff boards with Mrs. Kennedy and she was a1so at the e C f1egrata Shehad•. in her room :about twenty dollars of the money taken for tickets, for the Commencement. This, togetherwith a fraternity pin, and a gold watch and a ring 'belonging to Mis.,Ken- nedy, are missing. The watch had Mrs, s. I{ennedy's maiden name engrav- ed on the inside of the case,. Chief . Fremlin was notified and also'the county police and they are working on the case. It was a bold robbery and it looks as if it might be the work of someone who knew something about the circumstances and the fact that the occupants of the house would be absent at the time. • "WHEN WINTER COMES" We have had in this part of the province a very unusual Autumn, with no frost, after an early one in September which nipped ed off t h e P flowers earlier than usual. But since that a white frost at- night, . even, was unusual. The lawns and fields were gieen, many hardy flowers blooming gardens, d in 'the ai•dens an the days balmy and warm, although dur- ing November the sun was for the most part hidden. But it was a warm, pleasant time and hardly e- nough snow -nough'snow to cover the ground un- til nearly a 1 the end of November,and Y robins chirping 'about. But apparently Winter, with a capital letter, has set in. We ,hail snow over the week -end and this Week it has been falling everyday and this morning, Wednesday, the mercury was as low as six below and the promise is for colder weath- er•. Now, Wednesday afternoon, it it fine and fair; the sun having conte out. But it is winter weather and we may expect some more of it, But it is December and this is Can- ada. Canadians should not mind a bit of snow and colli, nor do we. The above is written for those who areaway from home, as we all are quite aware of the weather, be it cold or hot. Thursday a.m. It is milder today. THOUGHTLESSNESS. 0'R 'WORSE Councillor Wialker at the council meeting Monday night recommended that stickers' should be placed on cats whose owners park them where no parking is ,supposed to be allow- ed. One place where such a sticker is needed is on the car which is parked squarely at a crossing. The writer comes up P the post office. cifice from the west two or three times' each day and very often has to walk around a car whose owner is in the postoffice. the car being placed right across the nat- ural crossing from the west side of King street. Then one is lucky if one doesn't have to go around anoth- er one parked at the east side or Victoria. It is surelythoughtless a t aughtless and sel- fish thing for anyone to. park 'a ear across a crossing. A • driver who parks in such a way should at least leave both doors open .so that ped- estrians might be able to walk through. After all those who walk should have a few sights on the pub, lie streets and highways. ST.

DEATH OF MISS McC00L A sudden death occurred on Fri- day when Miss Sarah Jane McCoot of Albert street, passed away about nine o'clock. .Miss McCool had been in usual health, she had not been in robust health' for some •years, but she had been going about as usual. On this morning she asked a pas, sing neighbor to call a doctor, which was done and her sister-in-law, Mrs, S. McCool, notified; but the spark of life had fled before either arrived,. She was in her eighty-third year. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter the of tl a late James McCoo.t and his wife, Margaret Brownlee and she was born in Eastern Canad;, but the family moved up to Huila?, when she was very small and she spent her early years near Londes- born. For the pest several years she had lived in Clinton. She was the last of a family of six, her five brothers having predeceased her. She is survived by a number of nephews and nieces, James W. Me - Cool, clerk of Huliett township, be- ing one of them. Miss McCool was a member of Wesley -Willis church and while health permitted was regular in het attendance at its services. She made a donation of baking to a bazaar held by the ladies of that church on- ly a few weeks ago. The funeral was held from her late home on Monday afternoon, the ser- vice being conducted by the Rev. C. W. D. Cosens of Wesley -Willis church, Interment was made in Clinton cemetery, the pallbearers being six nephews: James W., Wel- lington, Harry, Armand and Fred" McCool and Lloyd l A wde o Y , CLINTON BOY SCORES Elwood Campbell, a Clinton boy who learned to play hockey while go- ing to school, is playing this season with Oakville and last night was the winner of a match with the Port Col- borne teams at Maple Leaf Gardena, putting the Oakville players in third place in the O.H.A. Senior standing. From the sport page • of today's Globe we clip the followings "Elwood Campbell, an ambitious youngster, r who patrols s the e I ft boards for Oakville, came into his own in this contest. The likeable lad, who starred several seasons with Stratford juniors and who is playing his first season. in senior company, paced the "Vihans" in victory with three goals. Campbell sent Oakville to the front in the closing stages of the opening frame, slamming hone the puck on a passout from Saral Allen, after the, latter had -led a charge on the Ports' net. Close to nine minutes had elapsed in the second period when Vince Up- per, hard -shooting left-winger for the. Sailors, tied the score. Breaking loose from an Oakville attack, Lipper: rotmded' the defence and blazed the puck hard and true into the top cor- ner. of or-ner.of the net, giving Harvey Teno little chance to blade The "Villans" came right back to score again less than a minute later, however, when Campbell registered goal No. 2, lifting the puck into the open net during a scramble. Doug, Boston's drive took Les Cuthbert out of position and Campbell had an; op-, en target. Another' scramble provided Oak- ville's third counter, with Campbell again being the • ice ksman, after shots from Marzo and Sutcliffe had been' stopped; by Cuthbert. That, one came with about one minute remain- ing in the period." hall as follows: Council chamber foams' local organizations, $3; for outside organizations, $5; town hall, local or gan izations , $7• outside, d e 10• io r dances or any entertainment where dancing is included, the price to bm• $12, this not to include the waxinng:• of the floor: Chairman Inkley recommendeda thatbhs matt i _ matter be deft over for vthe new council ou i 1 toy deal with, Reeve El - Hatt thoughtit a ,mistake to reduce - the price for dances thought/41,S lit- tle enough and several sii'thYecoun- cillors expressed :some opinion on the - matter.

BAYFIELD'S FOUNDER • According to reports published last: week the pioneer from whom Hay- field ayfield gets its name, Admiral Bay- field ,is to have a memorial moat, meat at Owen Sound. The two men who conducted the earliest scientific surveys on the Great Lakes, Admirals Bayfield anti Owen are, to be jointly- honoured Ira a monument to be erected in Owers Sound, by the Historic Sites and - Monuments Board. This will be fine,. but surely Bayfield ought to have some mark, This lake port was one of the .most important in early days.. Bayfield did not grow into acity, a+ Owen Sound did, but nevertheless it- is tis famous in its own way. It is one o th f e most delightful g 1 of summer resorts in Ontario, ;more popular, than even the city of Owen Sound in that respect. A tablet should at; least be placed in the town hall there. !- LITTLE LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. S. McDonald haver moved into Mr. P.
