whipped a shot over the falling
Woodcock for the Colts' fourth
goal.
J. Dolbear was the marks man for
Watford's second goal combining
with. P. Dolbear. Hanly scored a
few minutes later from a wild
scramble in front of the Watford
net, Hartley and Garon earned as-
sists on the play. Colts played
particularly poor on the next Wat-
ford goal leaving Latour uncover-
ed in front of the Clinton net. The
Watford centeeman took Wilson's
pass and picked the lower right
hand corner before German bad a
chance to block the shot. Murray
Colquhoun shoved the puck past
Woodcock to give the Colts their
three goal margin at 17.45.
Clinton outplayed Watford in
this period and Woodcock had to
make several difficult saves. Jack
Carter hit the. goalpost on two oc-
casions with screen shots that the
Atoms' goaltender didn't see.
Play roughened.considerably in
the final stanza and 10 penalties
were handed out including two 1.0
,minute misconducts to Elliott and
Carter and two five' minute fight-
ing penalties in the last minute of
play to Dan Colquhoun and P.

Watford outscored the Colts in
this period 2-1 but the persistent

organized the Atoms' attack even
when the Colts were two men

Hon. Paul Martin, federal min-
ister of Health and Welfare, was
the main speaker at the Huron

ing in Zurich Community Centre
last Friday night. Introduced by
A. Y. McLean, Seaforth, former
member for Huron, Mr. Martin
brought greetings from the Prime
Minister, to Huron and especially
to Zurich, where he had an occas-
ion to speak a few years ago.
Throughout the day, Mr. Martin
had visited hospitals in Clinton
and Exeter, where plans are und-
er way to increase facilities.
Speaking of the progress Canada
is making as a nation, Mr. Martin
said: "Look at the growth of Clin-
ton, Exeter, Goderich and Zurich
as examples of the growth of Can-
ada. Not all can be attributed to.
Liberal administration, but it has
greatly contributed to this prog-
ressiveness."
The minister had great praise
for the Prime Minister, who he
said will again lead the Liberal
party in the next election. Mr.
Martin congratulated Huron on
having a man of the calibre of
A. Y. McLean, in having him serve
as a full-time member of Canada's
term as a member of parliament.

He also paid tribute to the' late

Interested in the formation of a
new Club this year, to concentrate
on sugar beets.
Vic Langton, agricultural rep-
resentative for Elgin County was
introduced by G. W. Montgomery.
He said, "The greatest problem we
have is to keep adjusted to con-
ditions as they are." He warned
the club leaders to make sure that
the new members in 4-H Clubs
were aware of the significance of
their signing enrolment form in
in the Club and stressed the value
of having all members follow
through to completion.
Mr. Langton said that in Elgin
County they stressed safety on the
farm, and at each meeting about
five minutes were given over to
talks on various phases of safety
or safety devices.
He stressed the influence that
the club leaders had on the 4-H
Club members and asked them to
"awaken the individual member to
a sense of his own worth. Make
him see that he has a part in our
over al leconomy.
Adjourning to the agricultural
board rooms for an afternoon of
planning, the Club leaders set the
date for the. achievement night for
December 7, in Exeter. Tentative
date for a 4-H member tour to
Niagara Falls!, was set for July 17.
Bill Fullerton, reported on the
forestry club program saying,
"You are fortunate in. Huron to
have a visionary County Council
in the matter of reforestation."
G. W. Montgomery told the Club
Leaders there was an increase of
Clinton Junior Farmers last
week showed their skills in the
art of drama, and picked up the
first prize in the County competi-
tions for the best one-act play
presentation among the six Junior
Farmer clubs in Huron. Directed
by Mrs. Francis Powell, RR, 3,
Clinton, the comedy told the story
of a 'teen-age trio, the family of
a busy and theughtftd mother, and
their adventures with 'teen-age
romance.
Entitled "Bobbie Pulls Up Her
Socks" the play starred Miss Stella
Rankine as Bobbie; Catherine
Powell, as Bobbie's sister June;
Lois Jones as their mother; Berne
McKinley was a mischievous 13-
year-old brother in the family;
Stewart Broa.dfoot was: the tall
dark broad-shouldered rugby play-
er and Stan Johns was a second
'teen-age boy with a permanent
"dead-pan" expression and a voice
with a drawl.
Speaking after the presentation
of the Clinton play and a second
one by the Colwanosh Juniors, Vin
Dittmer, the adjudicator suggested
that the players select a serious
play another time, since they were
even easier to present than com-
edy, and could give everyone more
scope in their presentation. He
remarked on the improvement in
staging since; last year's drama
festival and gave constructive
criticism.
Mr, Dittmer, who is from CKNX

ed on the importance of having

The Leaders were called upon to

"We are one of the few coun-
tries left in this world where true
democratic government remains,"
said Mr, Martin, referring to the
excellent turnout in inclement
weather. He further said that if
we do not get out and support
our democratic political parties we
will soon be like those countries
in central Europe and Asia. "Our
liberty cannot be maintained by
politics alone but by everyone of
you taking an interest," the min-
ister said.
Commenting on the recent plea
of the Conservative leader to the
other parties to join his party and
defeat the present government,
Mr. Martin intimated that the
Conservatives must be in a state
of bankrupcy.
Prime Minister St. Laurent was
highly praised by the minister,
saying that "Mr, St. Laurent holds
prestige in world' politics." The
PM has long recognized that to
have good government in Canada
is to have good understanding and
co-operation with the provincial
governments, and world govern-
inents.
Referring to a proposed national
health scheme, Mr. Martin said
the federal government will give
financial and technical assistance
to any responsible scheme in co-
operation with the provinces.
Health insurance must include all
persons—farmers must not be left
out, Mr. Martin said.
Almost one million, children in
Canada have been given •the Salk
vaccine without a single mishap,
This is largely due to research of
the Connaught Laboratories at
Toronto.
Mn Martin mentioned the Hu-
ron County TB Association mass
chest x-ray survey In' May, He
said, "This is being carried out
for your sake and for your child-
ren's sake."
