T HOCKEY GAMES
The second game of. the schedule
in the' Intermediate 0. H. A. group
in this district, •an home ice, was
played on Thursday night, the Goder-
ich "Sailors" being the visiting
team. The game was one .of the
best ever played at the local arena.
The teams evenly matched for speed,
the boys from the clounty town hav-
ing a favorable margin in weight.
They suffered a defeat, however,
by one lone 'counter for the home
team.
In the first two periods neither
side .scored, though there were spec-
tacular saves aplenty at both nets.
The third period was wearing away
when 'Wick" Elliott came down the
ice with the puck and, from near
centre, hook a long shot which car-
ried the rubber past Doak and over
the net to strike the wall behind. It
bounced' back directly in front of the
net and "Wick" was ,on hand to bulge
the twine for a sensational score.
Goderich then got thepuck from
the play off and forced the play on
Clinton's goal, bottling the locals up
for a few moments. Nediger hooked
it out finally aind it was returned td
the Goderich citadel. What might
have been the result with longer time
to play can 'only be conjectured. Both
teams put up a real battle but the
locals won clearly on their merits.
The game was one prolonged strug-
gle, with no margin of superiority
noticeable on either side until the
break came. The ice was in fairly
good condition, though not hard
enough for the Best work.
The visitors came down supported
by a crowd of boosters of both sexes,
who gave their boys a full measure
of encouragement. The game was
clean throughout and was well
handled by Muir.
The line-ups were:
Goderich — Doak, goal Sturdy,
Woods, ,defence; Stoddart, eentre;
Marney, left wing; .McKay, right
wing; subs, Carpenter, Newcombe
McDougall.
Clinton—G. Elliott, goal; J. Elliott,
J. Nediger, defence; Rath, centre;
McEwen, left wing; Kennedy, right
wing; subs, Pickett, Gibbs, Campbell,
Cooper.
Referee—Muir, Seaforth.
In a hard-fought game in the arena
on Saturday evening, the local inter-
mediates were eliminated from any
chance of winning the finals, when
Mitchell battled to a 3 to 1 victory;
thereby placing themselves in line for
a tie-up \with Goderich should the
latter defeat Exeter, and a possible
play-off on neutral ice. The teams
had the best lee ,of the season for the
Saturday evening game and faster
play than has been possible hitherto
was witnessed. Many local fans and
visitors from the Perth town cane
along to 16E'd their support to their
favorites.
The visitors got away to a one -
goal lead early in the first period,
when Stoneman, playing left de-
fence, found the net from a diagonal
shot, which got through Elliott's
guard. The bell rang out the period
with the score 1 up for the visitors.
The second period was just started
when "Wick" Elliott playing defence
for the locals, in a neat shot, pane-'
trated the enemy citadel, tying the
score, and calling forth anoutburst
of prolonged cheers from local fans.
Play was renewed from the face-off,
with the locals heartened up and the
visitors putting up redoubled effort,
and shortly afterward Colquhoun,
Mitchell's right winger, scored just a-
bout the neatest goal one could wish
to see: Zig-zagging through from
,the forward line, he carried the rub -
1 er along and from close in easily
connected with the net, and the score
was 1 up again for the visitors. In
a few minutes more of play the same
player repeated his performance from
a mix-up in front of the goal. The
bell sent the boys in for their second
rest period with .the score' standing
3-1 in Mitchell's favor.
The third period was a• blank, the,
visitors. playing defence throughout,,
and the rubber taking up perman-
ent quarters in Mitchell territory,
with an occasional excursion down tllie
ice, to .be quickly returned. The
hamsters, though putting up 'a stren-
•nous battle, were. unable to get
through the solid „phalanx' of white
and, green.
The locals have been playing good
hockey throughout the short season
and if' they could • have had"'.iee earlier
in orders to eget in; . good training,
would: no doubt, have done even bet-
ter. They have proved their metal,
however, and need have no regrets
•
•
concerning their season's work.
The Saturday line-up was:
Mitchell -Casey, goal; C. Stone-
man, left defence; W. Myers, right'
defense; G. Fawm, centre; C. Chap-
man, left wing; J. Colquhoun,right
wing; 11, Cowan, H Wright, A. Cub
liton, W. Herbert, alternates.
Olinton—G. Elliott, goal; J. Nedi-
ger, left defense; W. Elliott, right de-
fense; G. 'hath, centre; 'F MisEwan
Doug. Kennedy, wings; K. Piekett,
J. Twyford, 11. Gibbs, Campbell alter-
nates.
Referee -Roy C'olquboun, Ma�tchell,
On Monday evening the local team
went to Exeter, and, although short
Some of their foremost players, suc-
ceeded' in'winnlitg 3 to 2. It was a
spirited and well played game.
Goderich defeated Exeteryester-
day evening, which tied iGoderich and
Mitchell for first place and these
two will play off for final honours.
This game will be played in. Clinton
on Friday night, February 26th.
Had Goderich been beaten last night
Clinton and Goderich would have
been tied for second place and would
.have had to play off. Clinton is now
out. But the Clinton team played
some good hockey this year.

THEY'RE USEFUL CITIZENS
From the Guelph Mercury we learn
of the activities of former residents
of this community, Dr. W. J. It. Fow-
ler and Mrs. Fowler, the former of
whom, as chairman of the board, had
prepared and read a fine report •of
the Guelph General Hosiptalr at its
recent annual meeting,
In another issue appears the notice
of the resignation of Mrs. Fowler
from the presidency of the Y.W.C.A.,
after a five year term, and contains
a very high tribute to her ability as
an organizer and an executive head.
Splendid work had been done and
great progress made in the work
during Mrs. Fowler's presidency, the
board was unanimous .in declaring.
It is pleasant for friends and rela-
tives to know that former residents
are making themselves useful and
winning esteem in the communities
in which they now reside.
Dr. Fowler is a brother of Dr. H.
Fowler of town and Mrs. Fowler was
before her marriage Miss Izzard of
Goderich township.
W. C. T. U. MEETING
The W.C.T.U. met at the hone of
Mars. French en Friday afternoon last.
Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Manning led
it, the devotional half hour. Mrs. J.
Rath gave a reading entitled: "The
Conversion of a Drug Addict," this
being the experience of a Chaplain in
a Chinese Hospital, dealing with drug
addicts, and showing the agony of
the patients when deprived of the
drug. It takes a very strong will to
give up smoking or any narcotics.
when the habit is once formed and
regret was expressed that so many
young people are smoking cigarettes.
The subject on the clip -sheet was
"Our Budget." The W.C.T.U. of On-
tario have three workers in this Pro-
vince alone, also Traveler's Aid. They.
have been carrying or an Education,
al Contest in Sunday •Schools; also
Essays and Paster Contests and are
now circulating a petition through-
out the Province, asking the Govern-
ment to curtail the sale of liquor
within their vested powers, and which
is being largely signed. All this
work requires much money and it is
hoped that members will not forget
our "Budget"
Our motto is: "For God and Honle
and Native Land."—Contributed.
GOING STRONG
A few weeks ago The News -Re.
cord described an elaborate sprinkler
system recently installed by the.
Clinton Knitting Company, a system
which cost a lot of money but which
will pay for itself in the saving in
insurance premiums.
This company is giving another ev-
idence of its progressive spirit by in,
stalling ten new and expensive ma-
chines for the knitting of ankle hose,
for which there has been an increas-
ing demand the past year or so. In
the knitting business, as in any othi
er, there is a constant outlay if a
firm wishes to keep up with the
times. As evidence of this, in the
basement of this factory at preseni
are piled a stack of knitting machines
which were in use twenty years ago
but which have since been discarded
for something more modern.
While Canada in common with all
the world has felt the depression dur-
ing the past couple of years this face
tory has been running over time, the
demand for Wearwell hosiery appal,
ently having kept up in spite of dull
times. The returns sent to the gov-
ernment statistician at Ottawa, gives
the total number of operated hours in
1930 as 8227 and for the same period
in 1931, 17000 hours, mare than dou-
ble that of 1930. An official of the
company states that the business of
January -1932 was just twice that of
the sane month in 1931, and that to
date the February. business has.
°doubled that of February last year.
The company, of whom the presi-
dent is Col, H. B. Conribe, favors • the
Empire trade policy•ansifor ;this res,

exchange"'in the United States, has
been purchasing yarns from Eng

KICKED BY COLT
Mr. T. R. Jenkins of the Huron
road met with a serious accident on
Sunday forenoon when he was kicked
by a colt while cleaning out a stable.
He was alone at the time but 'was
later found by his man and assisted
to the house and a doctor summoned.
No bones were broken but as he was
kicked in the abdomen it could not be
known just how serious the injury
might be. He is progressing favor-
ably, however, and it is hoped that
time will heal the injury. He said
lie was comparatively near the ani -
nal when struck, or it might have -
been more serious.

C. C. L LITERARY
An interesting meeting of the C.'
GI. Literary Society was held in the
collegiate auditorium on Thursday
evening. The meeting was conclude
by the vice-preti:dent, Miss Harriet'
Gandier, who outlined the activities
of the society and introduced the var-
ion5 numbers composing the program
which was gotten up by the pupils
of form 3A. The first number was:
a chorus by the girls of the form,
which was followed by a debate: "Re-
solved that scientific inventions
have made the individual happier."'
For the affirmative Howard John-
son and Don Smith of form 3B ad-
vanced strong arguments while El -
nova McInnis and Edward Rorke of
upper school strongly championed'
the negative. The judges were three
of the teaching staff, Miss Brydone,
Miss Glover and Miss Ricker. Dur-
ing their absence Miss Hazel Van
Esmond entertained the audience
with music on the piano. The judges
on their return, announced that the
affirmative side had, by at narrow
margin, won.
The school paper, "The C.C.I.
Broadcaster," was read by Miss Gene
Andrews, who edited the edition,
which included information concern-
ing school affairs, and much that was
humorous by way •of local hits.
A play, "TheLife of a Pie," compos-
ed and written by: Esther MoMath of
