Pee Wees Remain Undefeated, Edge Ailsa Craig, 3-1 The Zurich Pee Wees kept their winning record perfect in Lucan last Saturday afternoon as they downed the highly -rated Ailsa Craig team by a score of 3-1. They have still to loose a game this season, and are tied for first place with the Exeter Pee Wees, who have not lost a game either. The only goal of the first per- iod was scored by Ailsa Craig, their only one in the game. In the second frame Ken Westlake scored for Zurich, with the assist going to Barry Block, to tie the game at one each. Roy McAdams proved to be the hero in the locals victory as he came through with two third per- iod goals. One of his goals was unassisted, the other came on a pass from Cameron Witmer. Not one penalty was called in the cleanly played contest. The next game for the Pee Wees will be this Friday night, when the Lucan Leprechauns will be at the local ice palace, to try and upset the powerful Zurich crew. Lucan has lost two games in the Shamrock League to date Police Constable and are in good spirits. Ellen Max - party was held in the parish hall, sponsored by the CWL, and with a good attendance. Valuable priz- es were awarded to the winners. ime Marie was christened last Sunday, with Maxime and Lucille Geoffrey as God -parents. Last Sunday evening Snowed Under In the middle of bitter cold and stormy weather we see some peop- le making an attempt to reach their summer homes. Unfortunate- ly due to deep snow and impass- ible roads they are not able to reach their destinations. Perhaps their object in trying to get to their cottages is to see if all is in order after the cold, especially the water pipes. Mrs. Avila Ducharme returned to her home last Saturday after being a patient in South Huron Hospital for a week.

Ron Livermore was the big gun for Clinton scoring three of his team's goals, while for Zurich, Gerard Overholt banged in two. Draper opened the scoring for the visitors midway through the first period. At the 12 minute mark of the second period, Bob Johnston tied the score on a pass from Overholt and Earl Wagner. One minute lat- er Livermore scored his first goal and Yeo banged in one minutes later. Near the end of the period Gerard Overholt scored from Bob Johnston and Earl Wagner. Two quick goals early in the third period gave the locals a temporary 4-3 lead. Overholt sc- ored his second on a pass from Earl Wagner and Bob Johnston, and Larry Bedard earned the fin- al tally, with Earl Wagner getting the assist. At this point of the game the roof fell in for the loc- als, as four Clinton goals, two by Livermore and one each by Trus- cotte and Allen, clinched the game for the visitors. The game featured plenty of fast, well -played hockey, in which only four penalties were handed out, two to each team. Constable C. A.

Bantams Lose To Raccoon Shot On McKinley Farm; Check For Rabies (By our Goshen Correspondent) A raccoon, which could possibly have had rabies, was killed on the farm of Anson McKinley, three miles north of Zurich last Friday night. Apparently Mr. McKinley heard his dog, Rinny, barking strangely at the driving shed, and on going to investigate found a racoon in the shed acting very queer. The animal was jumping up and down, and Mr. McKinley was able to kill it with a stick. He notified Dr. McLennan, Seaforth, the vet- erinarian for Huron, who came to investigate. The head of the animal was sent to Hull, Quebec, to determine wh- ether or root it may have had rabies. The results are not back as yet. BLAKE (MRS.
