The postponed hockey game Sat- urday night between. Seaforth Bald- wins and Sarnia. Sabre is to be splayed Thursday, February 5. The game was postponed because of icy roads. In a statement from. Assistant Captain Steve Storey of the local Juniors, the team will take the league championship if it gets down to work and plays the hockey it is 'capable of playing. He also thinks Seaforth can give any club a real contest for the O,H.A, Jun- ior 'B' title. The only 'team he ex- pects to give Seaforth any trouble in the group is the London Lou 'Balls, who will play host to Sea - forth next week. Challenging words from the Stratford Juvenile 'A's' have been heard, with the word 'defeat' going to the Seaforth Juniors. The Strait - ford' team is the top team Seaforth tied 4-4 two weeks ago. They have challenged the locals' to a second game this Saturday night, and ex- peot to topple the Seaforth club. Seaforth Bantams are the boys who are leading the W.O.A.A. Ban- tam series.

THE EAST WIND There's something in the east wind we don't like - 'Tis Nature's law, we cannot go orf strike- - Itmakes our clothes, I know, feel mighty thin, - And for that reason -well, I just stay in. Winter or summertime. , the same old chill, It takes your breath, like going up a hill; The folks we meet don't stop. to have a chat: Itis the east wind makes them act like that. The morning sun comes up, we say that's fine; But soon we hear the east wind start to whine; Then .some will say, we're going to have a thaw, And if we do, we know it will be raw. And raw it is, with rain., and sleet, and: fog, 'Nobody likes it; no, not e'en the dog. • The birds don't like it either, watch them fly; That is the time so many of them -• - die. Yet, after all, the Weather Man is kind, He gives us three to one, ,keep that in mind: The' north, the, south, do not forget the west - I heard a good man say: It is the best.

CROSSROADS (By James Scott) ON TIME Well, I finally got around to start- ing the old clock in the living -room the other day. It stands on one end of the mantel and during the Christmas' season we follow the custom of putting up our Christmas cards all around it. That way, it isn't easy to reach in and keep the clock wound. Now in its'prime, that clock was what's called an eight-day clock. We used to wind it once •a week, and that was enough. But it's pret- ty old now and it's not quite so spry as it used to be. For a while there we found. it would only go five days before we had to wind it again; then only three; then little more than twenty-four hours, and sometimes it would just plain seem to want a little rest and, for no reason at all, would just up and quit. The truth of the matter is that lately the old clock has been per- forming so erratically that we haven't paid much attention to it. But, as I was saying, I happened to notice it the other day and decided I'd just wind her up again. The rest""•}rust have done her good for she started ticking away as chipper as you please. When it. came around to the'hour she struck like all get out, and if you've never heard an old-timer like ours go off you -don't know what it's 'like. When our clock strikes the whole room shakes. She goes at it all in a rush as if there might not be time to get in all the necessary strokes. This is no modern melodious strik- er. This one is a wham -banger. It was kind of cheerful to hear the old plugger going again, I thought, and it occurred to me that we have been more than a little careless about time around our house. Out in the hall there is a grand- father's clock -a, real one. In fact, My great-grandfather made- it - works, case and all. Most of the gears are made of wood and some- how things have got tangled up in- side and it hasn't run as long as I can remember it. But it looks nice. Then, too, I have what's call- ed a travelling clock -this one was made in Germany and it is enclos- ed in a handsome leather case; has a very fine movement and a dainty alarm. Only trouble it got is a bad knock when I had it in my suit- case once and nobody could get parts to fit' it, and it hasn't. run since. I have a pocket watch too, but the mainspring's gone and the • way clothes are these days I don't often seem to have a proper watch pocket for it, so I never bothered to get it fixed. We've had Suite a few.' other shapes and sizes of clocks around too -like the wrist watch I sent to the laundry and the Big Ben which would only run if you kept it lying on its face under the spare bed. Well, I guess you can see that if anybody said our house "runs like clockwork" that wouldn't be much of a compliment, The truth is that since our clocks have just gradual- ly,' one alfter the other, given up paid ,ghost, haven't I too much' attention I to time. If • you really have to know you can open up the backdoor and listen for the noon whistle, or watch for the late train or, even, turn on the radio. When I''m in the city there are so many clocks ,along the streets I can al- ways manage to get a pretty good idea of about what time it is. And you sort of develop a sense of what time it is and I haven't missed many trains, although 1 often come close. I sometimes wonder what it mat- ters anyway. ,Surely I have enough sense to know I ought to get into bed when I begin to feel sleepy; or to get something to eat when I feel''my stomach rumbling. A lot of`the'"t'hings we run according• to schedule have no real meaning at all. Some of us have developed in- to such clock -watchers that it al- most drives us'crazy. We go around saying to ourselves, "Must 'hurry up! Must save time!" Boys, listen to me. You can't save time, You•may •waste it, but you sure can't save it.. You can't save a single hour of summer sun- shine for the dreary winter. You can't put away an idle youthful hone to stand by you in your old age. You Can try as hard as you want to but there'll be exactly as much time available tomorrow for you no matter how much you tried to save today. In the meantime, that_wise old clock in the living -room has gone and got tired again. I wound it up, started the pendulum swinging and it ticked for three minutes and just rolled over and stopped. I guess it told me all right. And I may live longer for not worrying about what time it is at that, I sure won't lose anything over going to bed half an hour before my "bed- time" tonight, Huron Presbyterian WMS Heads Convene in Clinton The annual meeting of the Pres- byterian W.M.S. executive of the Union Presbyterial was held last week in St. Andrew's Church, Clin- ton.

The strong Clinton team cag- ed a 55-22 victory over .Seaforth. It was the sharp shooting of the Clinton team in the first half that gave them the lead. Don Ladd led Clinton with 31 points, while Sea - forth left Don Horton to the mail with seven points, The other star basket hookers for Clinton were John Hartley and Tom Colquhonn. Joe Murray was Seaforth's had man who was put off after five fowls. Thefinal game of the triple - header saw a 27-17 win for Clinton girls over Seaforth.
