A. new phase of the canvass this year,
• is the rural mail drop which will see 700
letters -mailed to the Lucknow; Holyrood

THROUGH THE SENTINEL FILES
75 YEARS AGO
On Friday evening, January 6th
the Sepoy Club went to Harriston
to play a return game. While the
person who advertised the game
may have bad gooid' intentions
when so doing, still what the
public received for their money in
the Harrison rink that night was
so far from hockey that we are
inclined to think that the adver-
tising manager of the Harriston
Hockey Club should be given,
another,guess. As far as hockey
concerned it was played by only
one team' and that was Lucknow.
What the Harriston team .put up
would cast an unfair reflection on
"shinny"., 'At no stage of . the
game did they try to play good
clean hockey but instead were
always.. contented with severe
body checking, tripping and
slugging of the most .,developed
kind. The Harriston boys said in
Kincardine that their treatment in
Lucknow was the "gilt edged"
kind • and there is no reason
whatever for their. conduct in
Harriston: The score in Harriston
game was no indication whatever
of the play as our boys out played
them at every point and were
prevented from scoring •only by
the ungentlemanly. conduct of the
Harriston" players: The official
score was Harriston 10 - Lucknow
6.
There is a good deal. • of
complaint made against parties
driving in -cutters not giving half
the road to persons on foot. It is
alright when a team is loaded and
no one objects to giving them the
whole road, but pedestrians -are
entitled toa share of the beaten;
track just as well as the cutters.'
The census returns dealing
with the origins of the people of
Canada is an interesting study. In
regard to Bruce, County we
herewith furnish our readers with
" the nationality of the people in
each municipality: There are 592
of French origin, 844 of ' Indian
origin, 123 Dutch, and, 587 of
Italian,, Jewish, Swiss and other
origins too numerous to specify in
detail. Amabel is the banner
municpality for families of Eng-
lish and Irish decent; Bruce takes
the lead with Huron a close
second -for people of • Scottish
ancestry, and Carrick easily ranks
first for having the most 'inhabit-
ants in the county who can claim
German ancestry.
To the Editor Of the Sentinel:
Dear Sir:
The sad query is abroad, "Why
was the Zion . school closed on
Friday, January 16th." The
question has been answered to
the effect • that, "it was closed on
account, of the Orange entertain-,
ment'. This report is untrue, and
not founded on' fact. As teachers
are not altogehter proof ,against
colds, the teacher on this
particular day was suffering from
the effects of a very severe cold,
and did not feel capable of
attending to his duties:

nice sum of money; Well, what do

The lifeless body of Ewart
Linklater, a young man of
Turnberry Township, was found
in a barn owned by the family ori
Thursday of lai:t week. Death was
d to a gun shot wound in the
head, and whether the shooting
was accidental or • self-inflicted
will never by known. It is said that
conditions were such as to
suggest that the shooting might
not have been accidental.,
We, last week, mae the
statement that the opening of the
new arena at Ripley had been
postponed from the evening of
the 17th until the 20th. This, we
believe, had been considered but
the idea was abandoned and the
opening was held .on the 17th. It
was a splendid success, about 700
spectators being in to enjoy 'the
ceremony • and the game. The
arena is a fine structure and right
up to the minute in equipment. It
is a credit to the village, :and
suggests what is likely to be one
of the permanent institutions of
all towns and villages in this
northern country.
