Wingham Wins Exeiting Game
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week, the first lacrosse match in four
years was played between Clinton and
Wingham, and proved that the 'fight-
ingspirit of the Wingham team is
their strong feature, ;tie a Tom' goal
lead is no small thing to overcome
in the last half of the game. In the
first period Clinton started the scot -
after about ten minutes pf play
and soon counted another before
Wingham could find the Clinton net
kr one. In the second, Clinton again
started the scoring but Wingham fol-
lowed them up with another but were
uneble' to get anymore while Clinton
scored three. With the score 6 to 2
for Clinton. at the end of the second
petiod the home boys changed their
tactics a little and in the third tallied
Lour while holding the visitors soon"
less and, tieing the score in the final
period tallied three more. The final
score being §-6 for Wingham, Mr.
W. Henning of Walkerton acted as
referee and was fait in his decision.

JUNE SESSION OF CO, COUNCIL
General Rate 3.2 Mills and Highway
Rate 1.5 IVIills, the Same as Last
The June session of the county
council was held last week.
In his opening address Warden Ir-
win • commented on the backward
spring but expressed his hope of an
abundant harvest. At the House of
Refuge everything was tidy and well -
kept. TheChildren's Shelter was
doing the same good work it had been
in the past, tinder the matron, Mrs,
Wilson, • and everything was going
along nicely. There would be several
impoltant committee reports to deal
with this session, including the equa-
lization, the road and bridge commit-
tee, etc. There were several bridges
tobe looked after this season.
Engineer Irwin of the Highways
Department was present and addres-
sed the council. Owing to the ..hange
in the legislation by which Legislative
grants were no longer to be paid for
work on township roads unless sta-
tute labor was abolished, bylaws from
the townships abolishing statute labor
and appointing township road super-
intendents were being received rap-
idly. It was optional with. the town-
ships whether they adopted this
course or not but unless :they did the
grant would not be Paid. • He sug-
geeted that, as the winter had been
favorable for roads, this year- the.
townships could do with considerably
less .ravelling and lie would like to
see attention .given to thewidening
of narrow places kettle road. Nar-
row fills made dangerous places, es-
pecially for those not farriiliar with
the roads.
By new legislation expropriation
could now be made of a gravel pit by
the acre as well asof gravel by the
yard, which was an advantage as gra-
vel could be screened and used accord-
ing to quality for the various roads.
Another new piece of legislation was
that which permitted counties to in-
clude boundary bridges under the
county system, the size of the bridge
to be set by the nth -lister: It would
probably be 30 or 40 feet span and
all over that span would be included
in the county system and get the 40
per cent. grant. Mr. Irwin answered
inany inquiries.- • .
A letter received from the Ontario
Fairs Association urged. generous as-
sistance to frirs.
A fire escape for the Children's
Shelter, also some paper and painting
were asked for.
Messrs. I-Iblman (county clerk) and
A. T. Cooper, Clinton, were reappotipt-
ed to the Mothers' Allowance Boerd.
Mr. Holman reported that the amount
of grant being paid ran fecern $15 to
$5o a month and • at present there
were 45 beneficiaries.
Reeve John Henneberg of Wroxeter
was appointed to the finance commit-
tee to take the place of ex -Reeve
Dougla.s, resigned.
It appears that the Government has
latterly been paying ro cents a day
per inmate to County Homes and
this has again been cut off. The
county of Welland memorialized the
Government to continue the grant,
and, on motion of J. L. McEwen arid'
0. Geiger, a similar resolution was
introduced' in. Huron council and was
referred to the special committee.
Reeve Beattie of Seaforth invited
the council-- to attend the opening
dance in connection with the celebrae,
tion of the tompletion of the pave-
ment in Seaforth, which was held that
evening, and the council decided to
accept.
As the day was the King's birthday
Reeve Irwin asked the council to rise
and sing the Nation%1 Anthem, before
adjourning for the day, which the
members did lustily.
Ex -Warden Doig who was present
on Wednesday morning addressed the
cottncil re the Plowmen's Association,
pointing out the benefits to be deriv-
ed by keeping- young men interested
in the farm. Be also expressed his
pleasure at meeting with the members
of the council again, although only a
few of those who sat with him were
seal members.
Clinton Hospital Board reported for
the year ending Feb. 2:9th, 1924, r70
patients admitted during the year
too from the cotinty, 59 from outside
town of Clinton and rx from outside
places), 55 major operations and 45
minor . operations; patients' fees, $4,-
723,77; grants, $2,2,32.00; donations,
$387.23; refunds, $154.29; bazaar Aug.
6th„ $.1,202,46.
Deputations from Clinton and Gode-
rick Hospitals asked for the payment
of the former grant of $r000 to each
hospital, the council at the jaintary
session having cut it to $500.
Councillor Middleton, of Clinton, in-
troduced 'the Clinton deputation, con-
sisting of Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Mason
and Dr. Gandier. Dr. Gandier spoke
of the great difficulty of keeping up
the hospital and' urged' reconsidera-
tiontof the cutting down of the hospi-
tal frant.
T te Goderich Hospital' was repre-
sented by Mr. R. J. McCaw, president
of the board, who was introduced by
Councillor H. j. A. MacEwen. Mr.
MeGaw spoke in Support of the re-
quest and said he did not confine his
sympathies to the Goderich Hospital
,but urged support of all the hospitals
which were really doing county work.
He said they were not asking for bay
for services but assistance to render
better service to the community.

BAPTIST ASSOCIATION MEETS
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of last week the Walkerton. As-
sociation of Baptist Churches met in
Wingham. Pastors and • delegates
were present from the following Chur-
cites, Auburn, Goderich, Clinton, Kin-.
cardine, Tiverton, Glarnmist Atwood,
Leetowel, Pahnerston, Howick,-Walk-
erton, Mt. Forest, Kenilworth and
Monett Thee were hospitably en-
teetained in the homes of the Baptists
of Vingliam,
This association meets yearly in the
month of June, and those present,
:who have had the privilege of attend-
ing many such gatherings, report that
this was one of the 'best ever held,
both in regard to attendance and the
high order of the addresses given.
Among the prominent speakers pre-
sent were Dr. Bowley Green, London;
Rev. J. R. Webb, Kitchener; Rev. C.
H, Schutt, Dr, j. G. Brown and Rev,
J. Marion Smith, 'l'oronto and E. A.
Therrien, montreal.
The progress and needs of the vari-
ous departments of the work being
carried on by the Baptists were ably
presented by the above mentioned,
gentlemen and others, each one talc-
in.g the part with which he was most
familiar. Home Missions, Foreign
itilissions, Grande Ligne Mission (in
Quebec), Bible School and Baptist
Young Peoples' work, Western Miss-
ions, Educational and Publication in-
terests were all given. a place in the
program, much to the edification and
spiritual uplift of those present, but
the greatest heights were reached on
,the afternoon and evening of Wednes-
day when the duty and privelege of
stewartship and the absolute Lordship
of Christ in the lives of His followers,
were stressed. These are good Bap-
tist doctrines, more than -nineteen hun-
dred. years old, but apt to be forgotten
in these latter days.
Where every meeting was on a
high plane it is hard to particularize,
but special mention may be made Of
the address of Dr. Bowley Green and
the singing of Rev. J. Marion Srnith
-on Wednesday evening,
Rev. J. K. Fairful, of Walkerton,
was' Moderator of the Association and
filled the position with dignity and
ability. • Mr. J. J. Cook of Mt. For-
est,- the veteran clerk of the Associa-
tion for more than, thirty years, was
in his place as usual, and performed
his duties with all his old time vigor
and sound sense, .
Mr. A. 1-lellyer, a layman from
Monck Church, was- elected Modetrae
tor for the coming' year.
Not the least interesting part of the
gatherings were the Mission Circle
programs on -Monday, a pleasing fea-
ture of which being greetings from
the Sister Societies of the different
Churches in town. The meetings
Were in charge of Mrs. John Anderson
and Mrs. T. T. McDonald of town,
and among those assisting in the pro-
grarrit were, Mrs. Nephew, Kincar-
dine; Mrs. 'Parker and Mrs. Aitken,
Clinton; • Mrs. Edwards, Tiverton;
Mrs. Pairful, Walkerton; Mrs. Halli-
day, Kincardine; Mrs. 'Conners and
Miss Cook, Mt. Forest; Mrs. Walker,
Glammis and Mrs. 0. Thompson,
Mrs. Wardell anel Misses Hanna and
Pickett, Wingham. • Mrs. Dengate of
Toronto, who gave an excellent ad-
dress on Foreigin Missions, was the
only speaker from outside the ASsocia-
tion. The deep interest of women. in
Mission work proves they are still fol-
lowing in the footsteps of their sis-
ters of nineteen hundred, years ago,
who were: "last at the, Cross and first
at the Sepulchre." -

pairing the roof. of Edgar Armstrong's
house he missed his footing and fell

assistance was at once summoned, and

Had to Have Paper
After it year's trial without a news-
paper the Board of Trade in Thorold,
with a population of 5,000 has guar-
anteed Messrs. Thompson & Son
enough trade to warrant them in re-
issuing The Post. Mr. Thompson, sr,
who is widely known and highly es-
teemed among the newspaper fraternie
ty, is the father of Rev, W. G. O.
Thompson of Stoney Creek,' formerly
of Mount Forest, and of Mrs. Woolly
of Cargill.
Teeswater Livery Burned .
Teeswater experienced one of its
largest fires witnessed for many years
on Vceduesday night, when the livery
and boarding stable of John Marrs
was completely destroyed by fire.
The building was one of the to'wn's
old timers. It had a frame of hewn
timber, pinned together after the old-
time fashion. All the cutters and
buggies belonging to the livery were
destroyed. A large quantity of hay
was also consumed. All. Mr. Marrs'
hens and one horse were destroyed.
The origin of the -fire is a mystery,
treat clouds of cinders were carried
over the town and eight small fires
were kindled iti various quarters. ft a
strong wind had been blowing much
damage would have resulted from the
fires thus kindled. The building tar-
ried st small insurance,
