BEAVERS HAVE HARD LUCK, LOSING TWIOE To MITCIIELL TEAM Still in Running But Must Win Game With Clinton. PLAY THURSDAY NIGHT The 'Beavers dropped two games of hockey to Mitchell during the past week. - On_ -Friday- lest Mitchell- won 5-4 on their home ice and also won the return : game in Seaforth on Tues- day, January 80th. Seaforth was leading 4s2 at the end of the second period in 'Mitchell but fell down in the third frame, while the Mitche(11 team banged in three goals for a total score of 5-4 in their favor. Mitchell, 4, Seaforth L. fii'he game at the local rink on Tuesday was fast and clean and due to the recent cold snap the ice was perfect. The Beavers were slow in getting started and Mitchell outplay- ed them in the first period. Dr. Tie - man, playing for. Mitchell, scored the only goal from inside the blue line. Buckman,.' and Wilson received penal- ties' for accidental tripping. The ,Beavers started out strong in the second frame and were rewarded • with a goal after persistent attacks on Casey. Gerd. Muir scored after about six minutes of play. With the count tied up, both sides did tome smart playing but again the locals lagged and let Mitchell break through on several occasions. Fawns put the visitors one i it on a nice solo rush. This woke the Beavers up but Casey turned every shot aside as Bucknam, Muir and Hildebrand stormed him with shots. alL 'Calliton dretade out of the net at the 'beginning of the third period to put Mitchell two up and the locals put on an attack that had the Mit= chell team completely disorganized. Gord. Muir made a perfect pass to Gord. Hildebrand who beat Casey for Seaforth's second goal. Sam Rennie then played- forward and Mitchell were bottled .up behind their blue -line. Althoulgh the locals work'edl hard in this period they couldn't beat Casey again. Culliton broke away on a lone rush and with only one de- fence man to pass, he again drew Stade out, Startle $topped him and Quinton/fell down but managed to retrieve the puck and shove it into the net for the final count of 4-2. Gerd. Muir was the star of the Beavers and did some great work. Culliton was the best player on the Mitchell team. By losing this game the chances of the locals to get into the play-offs was greatly lessened. Mitchell --Goal, Casey; r. defence, Fawm; 1. defence, C.

USBORNE 1 DECIIWTOTAKNO FURTHER ACTION Huron County Council took no tar ther action in the matter of baying George W. Hohnan, former Clerk, re- turn county records and statutes,- al- legedly taken to his home front the county buildings. Solicitor R. C. Hays, Jr., in. giving advice,' said be would need specific informlation be, fore any legal action could be taken and it was felt sCouticril was treading dangerous ground. "Mr. Holmnan telephoned me Thurs- y. morning _ that he had read--in---the newspapers that he was accused of something akin to theft, and that all records with respect to old age pen- sions and mothers' allowances would !be returned when his successor. was appointed," said .the solicitor. (Clerk Roberts reported that the' nriaute htibk had already been brought back and t hat other re would be returned. Mr. Holman, took the position that there was no proof that statutes were county property. Thnreday . afternoon .IMr. Holman addressed a letter to council asking that it be given the same publicity ashave other developments on the same subjects. He says in part: `'Warden and Council: -4 am very sorry to have to address you on mat- ters complained of re the removal of documents and papers • from my of- fice on retiring from the clerkship, which, according to. sensational it-, Mems in the press, would lead the public to believe they were stolen. "I wish to say emphatically that no papers, books or documents were removed by me that I had not the right to use before my successor or successors were appointed, I refer to papers; applications, blanks'' and books re old age,:. .pensions and mothers' allowances matters and the statutes. All these things are en- trusted to ,my keeping s� long as I occupy the office ,of secretary or chairman of these committees or boards. So far as the statutes -are concerned the following from At- torney -General Price will explain that fully. "Copies of statutes supplied to 'a justice of the peace do not become the property of the county nor do they become the property of the jus- tice of the peace, but theyremain the property of the province' to be used by the justices in the carrying out of their work. "I tried to get the statutes for the county, but was.. ipforn ed they would be supplied at a price per vol- ume. When I was appointed a jus- tice of the peace they weresent ane for my use in that 6eapacity. I ex- plained'`' all this to the warden when removing the statutes. "I could not leave in any office to which I had not access, papers or forms required, because applications were being made which only immedi- ate access to the required papers. could satisfy. "I repeat, I took nothing out of the office I (had not right to take and that will not at the proper time be restored and which I alone had the right to use or have in my posses- sion. "Mr.. Roberts knew I was doing this work at home for. I told him I would clear up last year's work be- fore handing the books over to him_ Material for the reorganization meets ing will be " there as Mr. Runnings knows, and there has been much ado about nothing, except sensational reading for the public.

Recommendation of Road Commission, Giving Ap- proval To Motion of Reeves Matheson a n d Haake, Carries By One Vote. AUDITOR SUBMITS ITEMIZED ACCOUNT The last two days .of the Baron County January session wre & ot- ed to discussions on'`asking' the Pro- vincial - GQQvernmen •tto assume • the Blue Water Highway, driving .permits for students, mileage fees for coon cillors, audit by chartered account« ant, and reports of committees. On Thursday 'a resolution was pre- sented to Huron County Connell 'peti- tioning the Provincial Government of Ontario to take over and assume the Bluewater Highway as .a provincial undertaking as part of their relief' - ' program. The znoj;ion was sponsored by Reeves ;Matheson and Haake. Af- ter a lively discussion the motion carried on Friday by a recorded vote of 16 to 14. The reeves from m the central and east portions of Huron voted solidly against it, maintaining that the Government should pay 100 per cent. of the cost. They argued, that, with the paved roads, bridges,' etc., twenty per cent. of which the municipality pays, would amount to more than under existing conditions. Representatives' of other portions of the county served by the highway; in question argued 'that now is the op- portune .:tin .. to capitalize -on- the( huge' relief program. -x The vote on the clause stood 14 to ' 14 when the last name, 'Reeve Jones, of Hensall, was called, and was brok- en when Mr. Jones decided in ' favor of the recommendation of the commit- tee. The irtuch discussed itemized report from F. P. Giblbs, CA., was submit- ted to the Council which : was a state- ment of the work executed and the following financial statement attach- ed: Principal 40% days at reduced rate of $20 a day, $815; Senior Assistant, 88 days at $12 a day, $1,066; Inter- mediate Assistant, 86% days at $6, $690; Junior Assistant, 32% days at $5, $161.25; Stenographer, 16% days at $3.15, $53.42. Total $2,775.67, from which deduct $25.67. Fee charged, $2,750; expenses, hotel, travelling ex- penses, telephoning, etc., $548.56• ac- count rendered and paid, $3,298.56. Much comment centred around an= other motion by Reeves Ganiable and Cardiff, that students' driving per- mits from 7 o'clock to 9 a.lm. and from 4 to 6 o'clock p.m. be issued to those competent to drive when certified by the Principal that they are duly quali- fied students. It was contended by some who opposed the idea that at the present time young people are skipping around the side roads to evade the traffic officers rather than obey the law. They should be taught to obey, not evade. The question will be further deliberated by the Legisla- tive Committee, and a copy of the resolution sent to the Minister of Ed- ucation. "That this County Council send a . resolution to the Ontario Government asking to have the Highway Traffic Act amended that car owners be not responsible for accidents to passen- gers to whom they happen to give a ride, is another resolution before the council. Members of of council and county .of- ficials were the guests of Warden Ballantyne at a banquet in the Bed- ford Hotel on Thursday evening..
