F o rtyd clubs played in t h e :.,eague, the Sec- ,retary's r e port st ated. Chang- es were made in the rules and regu- lations governing competition, t h e most important being the decision to break away from the O.IH,A. entirely. The change was made without a dissent- ing vote and leaves. the Western on itsf own. It was felt that the chances of an Intermediate or Junior team from the smaller towns and villages where the available material is limited winning out in the O.H.A. were far remote, while the Western, affords a much better ep•portramity of reaching the top. A membership of 75 Clubs is expected this season: The date of receiving entries from clubs in both series was set forward from lDcosimlye ` ;1511:, {to Diecem!ber 24th, "after which date no entries will be received and groupings of the clubs then entered will immediately be made. Several other minor changes were made which will tend to speed up play and remove delays such as selec- tion of referees, the delegates being of the opinion an outside referee is always preferablenito locals, bath from the; sitand'p;oint of players and spec- tators.

Proceeds amounted to $34.00. A splendid program was presented and was much enjoyed. Those tak- ing part in dueits were Lois and Jean Wright, Jean and Frank Mills; Isa- bel McKellar and Kathleen Holmes; Richard Gibb, former Seaforth mer- chant, now a resident of Stratford, was killed and two companions in- jured in a crash which occurred just outside Windsor city Omits on Wed nesday. 'Born in Downie Township, not far from Stratford, the late , Mr. Gibb moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Gibb, of 18e Huron Sit., Strat- ford, to the city when a lad of only seen years of age. He attended public school and Collegiate Institute. Later he went into the men's furnish- ing business, }laiv,ing been .envployeJ with the old Thornton -Douglas store, Cumming's and Kelly's. He then opened the Toggery Shop in Seaforth which he successfully con- ducted for a number of years. For the past six years he had been on the road and at the time of his death was a popular commercial traveller with the Mn. Forest Knitting Mills. The late Mr. Gibb was 33 years of 'age. He was well known for his genial dis'posi;.ion and his pas -ming will be mourned by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a keen follower of hockey and base- ball teams, and while in business in Seaforth was an ardent fan of Sea - forth teams. • Ferg Bullard Heads Jr. Farmers Hockey The annual meeting of the Junior Farmer's Hockey League was held in Seaforth on Saturday night with a good attendance.

Much interest was manifested throughout the entire contest and as the time for the announcement of the winners approached, contestants and their friends thronged about The Ex- positor office eager to learn the re- sults, Doris Ferguson and Joan McMaster and Billie and Donald Munn.

"The History of Time" was the subject of the interesting talk given by Lion F. S. Savauge at the regular meeting or -the Seaferth Lions Club on Monday evening. Lion Charles Stewart presided. A highly successful report of the 'recent Hallowe'en Frolic was given Eby Lion G. D. Fergueon, general chairman. Net receipts totalled nearly $1,400, Lion Treasurer E. C. Boswell stated. Tracing the development of time from pre -historic times, Lion Sav- auge outlined the various methods adopted to keep track of the passage of time ,before the• invention of watches and clocks. He instanced the use of the hour glass and sun dial and ether methods. All time now is regulated from the sun. In order to 'halve a watch keep perfect time, it is necessary to regulate it so that it loses 3.008 seconds a day, which, he said, was' a very troublesome task. 'In order to 'compensate for the dif- ferent times at different places, the earth was divided into tones, such as Eastern, Central, Mountain, etd. The recognized unit of Time is the sec- ond. Primitive clocks, large massive af- fairs, were first introduced about the year 1400. Since that time the sci- ence of watchimiaking has developed to such an extent that now many wristwatches keeping perfect time, are little larger than a twenty-five cent piece. Early clocks were made by armourers and architects. Here the speaker exhibited various models s'howin.g the progress which had been made in the past 100 years. Watch and cloc'kmaking had its in- ception in Switzerland and in 1750, 464 people were employed. By 1800 the figure had grow to 3,670. The work was all done in homes by spec- ialists and the ant, was handed down from father to son. About 1850 American watches ap- peared and since then same 67 mil- lion watches have been built by two firms alone.

Recommendations. by Mr. Moun- tain included the flolibw'ing: That Mr. Wilson, relief officer, be given authority to issue orders in emerg- ency cases; that the first meeting of the Welfare Committee be given publicity in the local papers; that the people of the town be warned not to feed transients; that matters brought up at welfare meetings be kept strictly private. Objections were raised by the May- or and Councillors to centain things in the Campbell plan. It was thought that relief under this system would cost the town considerably more m.,ney than at present. There were a number of arguments, but emery - thing was ironed out satisfactorily. The meeting closed about 10 p.m. without any definite plans being made on the subject.
