Hence .there was 'a good at- tendance at the annual meeting of the Curling Club nn Wilnesday night last. The members decided, to hold rink competition each Wednesday ev- ening. Other series will give a busy season to the Club. The following wereethe officers elected: Patron, W, D. Stewart, St. Paul; President, .1. C. tlrieg: Vice President, J.

Bethune, SATURDAY'S GALE y The gale that sprang_up on Sat- urday night last was ode ofthe worst' that has been expeidenced in years. Not since November 191.3 has there been such a storm here. All day, Saturday, the rain fell steadily and warmer after the severe frost of Fri- day, and during the afternoon the at- mostihere was quite balmy. Towards evening... however, the wind began to rise and by six o'clock there was a hurricane blowing. Large limbs were broken off trees and hurled to the ground. In a few cases in town electric lights poles came down. Just after six the Hydro went off and the town was in darkness. The lights did not come on again until about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning The Hydro men were kept busy all day Sunday making repairs on the lines. In a few cases roofs were nearly blown off in town. One of these was that on the Commercial stables which was saved with difficulty. The skat- ing rink also had a hole made in the erica. Throughout the coon try the damage was worse as the buildings were more exposed. Near Milburn it was especially severe, where two McMicheals, Thomas Melvfillan and others were sufferers, • HURON OLD BOYS HOLD GATHERING A revival of activity which, before the war, characterized the Toronto assiniation of Huron County Old Vimermarm. Boys, was preSaged, in the annua nesting of that organization held as Friday night in St. George's Hall. The following officers were selected for the ensuing yes"; ! Honorary Presidents, Sir John Willison, Sena- tor Proudfocit and Mr. H. I. Morrish; president, Mr. G. A, NOwton; vice president, Mrs. Harry Martin; sec- retary, Mr. E. Floody: financial sec- retary, Mrs: Itt, Martin; treasurer, Cant!. Wnt, Proudiootjr.; bud chaplain Rev, E. E. Powell. Messrs. R. 5. Shepard and John Rabertson were elected auditors. S.' tint'" William Proudfoot, whose how, Goderich, referred to the spleMid record of Huron County in declaring it to be a home to ho proud of. stated that if the negotiations now tinder way for,the big steel plant were successful Goderich was destin- ed for remarkable development. He urged that Canadians should pay more attention to their flag and help preserve the unity of the,lifanpire and in seeing Canada takes. her proper lace. Sir john Willison, also au ex- Huronite, indulged in some humorous reminiscences of his boyhood days in the country. In a reference to the recent turn of political events within the province, he remarked that the farmers of Ontario were as fine a body as in any country in the world. They would get the experience they now lacked in the conduct of parlia- mentary affairs, he said, and he did- n't think there need he any fear of the future. "If we had known what was go- ing to happen, we would Mot be old boys in Torontrit today, hut farmers in Huron County," eotitinued Sir John, "but at our age we can't re- cover the ground we have: lost." While an elnillitinn of public feel- ing might in an election, produce a class result, he thought that in every general election there might be an orgahization resembling that which carried out the Victory tont or the patriotic campaigns 'during the war, He had no confidence ill legislation to regulate prices, or to legislate people into goodness. Industry and integrity were the secrets of sue - cess. 0. H. A. HOCKEY 1920 Mi.. A. W. Dick of Seaforth has an amendment to the effect that the win- ning club of the C), IL A. intermed- iate series shall be allowed to com- pete for the Allan Clip, emblematic of the Canadian amateur champion- ship. The winning club of the jun- ior 0.`14. A. series now has the MI - Attarrtretrarstr $1.50per year vile of playing for the 0. IT. A, ...,......-... Memorial Cep, which is eMblematic of the Canadian amateur jtlilint charm pionship. This proposal from Sea - In rt Ii is worthy of serious consideraL tion, as manyare of the opinion that the class of hockey played by tile best clubs in the interniediat series is equal to that of the seniors, Amendments to the playing rules, if adopted, will not cone into .force this year, but will stand .as mendatiOns of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associations. Sheriff Pax- ton suggested that "a goalkeeper forced to retire because of injury shall be flowed to return to the genie and play goal in case he so desires and is fit to resume." Another sug- gestion is to allots,- goalkeepers to be changed at the will of the club without injury. Mr. H. Sturm of Kitchner propos- es that the rule which prohibits the goalkeeper during the game from ly- big, sitting or kneeling on the ice be rescinded, as he claims that the re •ferees rarely 'enforce it and it might just as well not he on the hooks. There is alsoA notice of motion for the adoption of the A. A. U. of C. request for the registration of all athletes with the Provincial branch, The idea is that each athlete must hold and present an A. A. U. of C. card for the ensuing year before any amateur organization grants him a playing certificate. T....his card would be good ,for all sports and would re- move the onus from the different as sociations in connection with the deal ing with the amateur standing of any of their players. It is something that should have been' dope long ago, .192.136.714.15145221.11.... and Christ las Fair IN St. James Parish 11aH9 Seaforth Wed. & Thurs., Dec. 10 5' 1 lth. eTERNOONS and EVENINGS Attractions:.
