With that all cleared away until later this year, It's time the sportsmen turn- ed their eyes toward softball and looked over and studied the pro- spects for this year. What teams will be operating? Will the men's newly organized;• team again .play? Is there any hope' of Seaforth once more com- peting in the ladies' group? Has the Huron branches of the Canadian Legion any thoughts of continuing their league? If so, will Seaforth field a team? Has local Branch 156 planned Flo repeat their Pee -Wee and juven- ile league for the youth of the town? The final question is one which has never been answered until late in the summer. Will an In- dustrial League' series be arrang- ed? • Now is a very appropriate time for an answer to all these ques- tions. Who could think of a better time for organizing, with the arena closed and sports almost at a standstill, The W.O.A.A. will swing into ac- tion next week to get in prepara- tion for what should be a very rood year of softball and ,hardball.

Canada has the Stanley Cup fur this season of National Hockey in the N.H.L. What team will hold the trophy? That's a good ques- tiru!

By an act of the Canadian Par- liament the week of April 10 is always to be observed as Nation- al Life Week in honor of the mem- ory of the late Jack Miner, famous Canadian Naturalist. Phe Sunday has been designated as Nature Sunday, when all re- ligious bodies, regardless of denom- ination, are asked to observe same and to draw attention to God's great out-of-doors. 'the Spring of the year, when the birds are returning from the South to nest in Canada, and the trees are bursting forth with their buds and leaves, is an appropriate season. The week serves as a living memorial to the late Jack Miner and his life work in conservation, which he started nearly one-half century ago at Kingsville, Ont.

Jefferson, principal of Clinton Public School, addressed the regular meeting of the Men's Club of First Presbyterian Church Tuesday evening. Mr. Jefferson ex piained that he did not have an address to make and presuming that the club had no doubt heard many speakers on practical sub- jects, he offered for a change a few remarks on Rudyard Kipling, the man's poet. He read a number of his poems to explain his points, as well as one of Pauline Johnston, "Captive." A bountiful dinner was served by the Fireside Fellowship Group, top- ped with strawberry shortcake and v.hipped cream. The speaker was introduced by D. N. Eastman and thanked by M. A. Reid.
