Among items on the program was a report given by John D, Butler, assistant agricultural representative for Huron. on the work done by the Huron County junior clubs. Andrew Gaunt, Lucknow, gave a statement on the first sale sponsored by the club, at which a total of $8,665 was received with an overall average of $321. Entertainmerit was provided by Mrs. Wilfred Coleman, Tucker- smith, elocutionist and Walker Hart, vocalist, both of Tucker - smith. Grace was asked by the Rev. Glen Eagle, minister of the church. G. W. Montgomery in- troduced the head table guests and gave his report including the financial statement. Harold, White, Guelph, secretary of the Ontario Shorthorn Breeders' As- sociation, introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Trevor L, Jones, principal of the Ontario Veterin- ary College, Guelph, who, with his inimitable Welsh humour, kept the audience listening, while he described the highlights of a trip last year to the British Isles, Denmark, the Netherlands and France. His trip was made to study extension work in each of these countries. Dr, Jones climaxed his talk with a description of the ancient colleges at Cambridge, the in- herent traditions and customs of the location; and stressed that Canada has got to buckle down and show the leadership that she, must provide the world, from the wealth she has yet to develop. In Europe the growth oi' centuries is evident. Canada is young, and her first loyalty has of necessity been to herself. Now she must remember her responsibility to others. The speaker referred to the story of Jesus when he lead his followers into the synagogue on the,Sabbath day to be confronted there with the questions and taunts of idlers, which he an- swered authoritatively and tor - redly, The compar]son was then inferred, that to** Canada must make her stand In world affairs, and give the streng leadership of which she is capable, The Weather 1952 1951 High Low High LOW Dec, 11 41 31 "32 27 12 33 30 31 1 13 38 26 20 15 14 29 23 20 10 15 84 16 254 155 5 17 38 20 15 4 Snow 6 ins, now 10 ins, Tuckersmith Road Supt.

The game was far more exciting than the score would indicate; play Was very fast with both teams staying strictly to hockey. Several minor penalties were handed out and one .misconduct to Rochon of the Electras when he threw his brok- en stick. The Electras opened the scoring near the mid -way point in the first period; they added one more before the Colts lit the red Iight when Edgar blasted home a 15 - foot shot that Tremblay did not see. It was the second period that spelled doom for the RCAF team. The Colts rammed six pucks be- hind Tremblay without an answer to lead at the end of the second 7-2. ' The local team carried most of the play during this; and Bill Nediger had a very, easy session. The final stanza 'proved to be the best of the game as pace step- ped up and the players of both teams threw their weight around. The climax came at the 17 -minute mark when Rochon and Bartliff collided. Rochon's stick was brok- en and he threw it away, hitting MCEwan in the back. These two players clashed and when the ref- erees regained control, Rochon re- ceived a ten-minute misconduct for throwing his stick, McEwan got two minutes for roughing and Schoenhals and Buchanan went off for roughing. One of the big highlights of the game was the work of the Colts' defence. They gave out with some very hard bodychecks that slowed the Electras' forwards down con- siderably, CLINTON COLTS: goal, Nedi- ger; defence, Schoenhals, Colqu- houn; centre, Bartliff; wings, Me - Ewan, Edgar; subs, Counter, Wil- son, Dolmage, May, Hanly; sub- goal, Tideswe]].

With his entry, "You Talkie' to Little Ole Me?", Mr. Falconer became eligible for 20 merchandise certifi- eatee, each worth one dollar in any store whose merchandise is advertised on the Words of Wis- dom page. You may pick up these certifi- cates at The CLINTON NEWS- RECORD office, Mr. Falconer, any time you wish, The judges of the contest were pleased with the many entries re- ceived, and disappointed to find that many of the entrants failed to list the names of the advertis- ers, in whose advertisements they had found the words making up the parables. Of over 70 entries, 35 of there were disqualified be- cause they failed to list these ad- vertisers' names, Bear in mind also the fact that entries must be in The CLIN- TON NEWS -RECORD office by Monday night, following the ap- pearance, of Betty Hutton's ture. 0 Radical Price Changes Not E q ected "Very little snow has fallen to date and with the open season, al- most a month less Stable feeding of cattle has been required this fail," G. W. Montgomery, • agricul- tural representative for Huron County, reports. "Surprisingly, the news that the US embargo will be lifted March 1, has not caused too much ex- citement and farmers seem to be resigned to the fact that when this does happen, the price structure will not be too much affected. o----•---- F.b M.

Lions (lub Ladies' Night 'Follows Turkey Dinner An attendance of seventy mark,- ed arked the annum Ladies' Night at the Clinton Lions Club meeting held in the Parish Hall of St. Paul's .Anglican Church last Fri- day evening, .1`?eeember 12,. Lions George Beattie welcomed the ladies .and other guests, and the happy company sang "The Queen" and toasted Her Majesty, A. turkey dinner with all the trimmings, was greatly enjoyed, and around the table a sing -song of Christmas carols, led by Lion Dick Jacob and Padre W. A. Young, chaplain at Ontario Ag- ricultural College, was most heartily .enjoyed. The chairman for the evening, Pion Vic Roy, called on Lion Walter Newcombe to toast "The Ladies," which was replied to by Mrs. George Beattie. The guest speaker, Rev. W. A. Young, OAC chaplain, was intro- duced in a most efficient manner by Ken McRae. He gave a very interesting and inspiring talk, bas- ing his thoughts on a timely sub- ject, "-The Land and the People". Padre Young pictured the great resources and vastness of some lands, and drew the contrast be- tween such. lands and others which are small and with limit- ed resources, He also reminded the audience of the invariable fact that many vast countries are thinly populated in comparison with smaller nations, such as are found in many continents. Yet, he said, though Canada w & one of the countries with wide stretch- ing territory and untold resources, it is not for the citizens of Can- ada to exploit and waste. Rather, it is for Canadians to conserve the soil and other resources and at the same time develop and use every resource wisely and with an eye to the future as well as the present. Very fine entertainment was supplied by ] vlett Myers, St. Thomas, whose arty as a magician mystified Lions and their . lady friends. Bob McMurdo London, Scotch singer and producer of skits, made good his reputation as a live -wire in the, entertainmient field. The Lions saw that every lady guest received a favor and fifteen prizes were given to them also, by lucky draws before the even- ing closed. 0 Ontario St. Men's Club To Transport Elderly Members to Church The regular, „meeting,of the Men's Club of Ontario Seet Unit- ed Church was held on Monday evening, December 15. A very interesting and educational picture entitled "Dust To Destiny', was shown and was very much ap- preciated by members present, A good deal of discussion cent- red around activities which would be most beneficial to the church. It was quite evident that at this time of year it is impossible for many of our elderly people to at- tend service and it was decided to have club members contact these people and arrange to bring them to church and take them home again. If any person is not contacted by club members kindly phone R. McBean, Queen St., phone 764W, and arrangements will be made to have someone call.

Huron Hereford Breeders Elect New Officers The ' annual meeting of the Huron County Hereford Breeders' Association was held yesterday af- ternoon in the dining room of Hotel Clinton. Officers elected for the year 1953 are as follows: President, Frank Thompson, R.R. 5, Wingham; first vice-presi- dent, Maurice Hertzel, Crediton; second vice-president, Stanley Jackson, Kippen; directors, Jim Neilans, Ross Eedy, Bert Mason, Robert Hearn, Alan Petrie and Ralph Foster; secretary -treasurer, John D. Butler, assistant agricul- tural representative for Huron County. Guest speaker, Dr, James Hend- erson, head of the Department of Medicine, Ontario Veterinary Col- lege, Guelph, gave observations on livestock raising and breeding, which he gained on a recent trip to the British Isles, Europe, Unit- ed States of America and South American countries, especially Argentine, Uruguay and Brazil. The more interesting part of the address was information re- garding the progress made in those countries in the field of artificial breeding. Through ex- periments made at Cambridge University, England, sand other centres, it has been made possible to freeze semen at 100 degrees fahrenheit, and hold it for months. There is possibility that semen thus frozen may remain motile for years. The County Association has de- cided again to sponsor Spring and Fall sale of Hereford cattle. Among those present at the banquet which preceded the meet- ing, and at the meeting itself, were Harvey C. Johnston, BIyth, Warden of Huron County; George Kennedy, Lucknow, president of the Ontario Hereford Breeders' Association; G. W. Montgomery, agricultural representative for Huron County; John McGregor, first vice-president of the county association; Steve Stothers, Luck - now, who was the first agricul- tural representative for Huron County; Alan Petrie, Dungannon; Maurice Hertzel, Crediton; Stan- ley Jackson, Kippen, all directors of the county association. 0 Banquet Enjoyed by Bell Employees The Bell Telephone traffic de- partment, Clinton, was host to fellow -employees and friends on Wednesday night, December 10, when it entertained at a turkey dinner in Hotel Clinton. Guests included F. F. Barr, District Traffic Superintendent„ F. F. Brittian, Traffic Super- intendent, London; C. B. Symonds, commercial manager, . and Mrs. Symonds, Mrs. Myrtle Brosche, chief operator, and Don Laidley, plant representative, all of Gode- rich; George Glendenning, Exeter and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pepper, Clinton. Mrs. Ruth Knox, chief operator, welcomed the guests and dedicat- ed a song to Mr. and Mrs. Sym- onds, who were celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary this month. Following the banquet a short skit was presented by Beverly Smith, Mary MacDonald, Mary Ebbett, Pauline Managhan and Lola Jervis. Dick Allan played a few selections on the piano and Ruth Knox, Lola Jervis and Wil- man Schroeder sang a group of Christmas Carols. The first meeting between the Bell Telephone Company Officials, the Telephone Commissioners and the 'Township Council which came as the result of the vote on Nov- ember ovember 4 took place in the Town- ship office on Thursday evening last when Messrs Patton, Cowley and Symonds were present to open. .negotiations in a prelimin- ary way. Messre Patton and Cowley stab., ed that their company would pay a minimum of twenty dollars per working telephone. Any stock on hand such as wire,poles etc. would increase this payment, Other items such as the truck would have to be disposed of elsewhere but would be extra money going back to the pockets of the subscribers. Depen- ding on the actual value of the property for sale the minimum price of twenty dollars could well be increased, The system under the Bell Tel- ephone Company if bought, would need to be rebuilt to operate with eight to ten subscribers on each line. The same free service as is now given between Bayfield and Clinton will be maintained as long as the present agreement can be kept M force with the Tucker. smith System but free service can- not be given between Goderich and Clinton. They could not guarantee that in the event they do not buy the System that the free service now in effect will al- ways be available. The Bell men then wanted to know whether or not to send a- long their engineers to appraise the System as they had heard that a move was on foot to upset the November 4th meeting., At this time the Chairman of the Tele- phone Commission stated that a petition had been handed to him that day requesting that another meeting be called to take another vote. The Bell representatives. then said they could do no more until it is definitely established that the commission is ready to proceed with negotiations. They stated they were prepared to come back as they are definitely inter- ested in buying the System, A meeting between the Com- mission and the Township Coun- cil was held on Monday to try and reach a solution to the whole pro- blem but no decision acceptable to all could be arrived at. Some wanted to go to a representative of the Municipal Board, others wanted to take the matter before the County Judge. Others want- ed to hold another Special Meet- ing. The result is the whole mat- ter has reached a stlemate. 0 Annual Logi n Turkey Bing r 4,1 ws4;fig Crowd The annual fowl and turkey bingo was conducted by the Can- adian Legion, Clinton Branch No. 140, in the town hall Monday even- ing.
