'ear Orange street the other day, when a car which was 'follow- ing him turned out to pass. The dri- ver, seeing that he could not get past endeavored to pull back into line and in doing so struck the neckyoke of Mr: Nolble's wagon, breaking it off. This let the tongue down, frightening the team, which started to run. The tongue stuck Pp in the ground and the wagon was upset, throwing Mr. Noble out. A splinter of the tongue ran into one of the horses snaking a flesh wound and Mr. Noble sustained a bad shak- ing up and a fractured rib, It was a fortunate thing that the damage - 06 was no more serious. The driver of the car was Donald Gloyn of St, Pettis' who was just driving through town. EDUCATIONALIST HONOURED The front page of the magazine section of the Nashville Tennessean, published at Nashville, Tennessee, in a recent Sunday edition, had as its central feature a picture of Mr. J. J. Keyes, who is described as "The Grand Old Man of Nashville Education. Beloved Principal of The New East Nashville High School." Mr. Keyes, who is a na- tive of Stanley township and whose relatives still reside in Varna and vicinity, a sister residing in that village, has been in the teaching profession for half a century. and, as the Tennessean says: "Having served continuously in Nashville for the past forty." Mr. Keyes comes back to Canada nearly every year for a little visit and the past two summers has brought his wife and family and spent several weeks by the lake at Bayfield. He is always greatly in- terested in his old home community and many old friends here are al- ways interested in meeting him on his return visits. These old friends will be glad to know that his life work is being recognized in the town hi which he has served so long, acme bouquets being handed hies while he is still able to enjog their beauty and fragrance, THE SCIIOOL MEETING a `tai'at`a'}'slinfo tIniDinainiln-ZistT rsessresse1=mieesit5Brszter S `1ses u}`rJmsWtrMrss, gg• �-w 4�cw, `'4 b orgegc`ue v +,'statBrag,tG-+,' +aomsgelawavameat agamo4se R a rf FOP 1933 FIr ca r7 'InO`h"de` mrlArhh`1F r$/M1W h` tri t�"`9z„tUB��ri3'tna2�,:`,3»?'.tbr�s�;a,xa,�•;��.��vY:vb•.� We Extend Best Wishes, And Express our Sincere Appreciation For your Kindness During the Past Year " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " A$25.0® we 0 7a AT runesaster YOU MAY BE THE LUCKY WINNER With every purchase of One Dollar you are given a ticket.

Gentlemen; I visited your school on Dee. 5th, 13th and nth and spent three days in its inspection. The at' tendance has not been as regular this term as in former years due to' an epidemic of measles among the children. The statistics for 1931 show that it stood third in the pro- vince for regularity. The staff work harmoniously together and there appears to be excellent har- mony between teachers and pupils., Your teachers are very competent and all are doing their best. There has been one change since last year: the Board lost an excellent teacher. when Miss Pepepr resigned: Miss Vernier 'has made a good beginning. The pupils are making good progress and average high in ability: some classes excel. You have a very competent jani- tor: the school is kept clean and comfortable and in the summer he took a personal interest in the sur - rot The Board is to be commended for the interest they show in the school and in the personal efforts they have made in providing a rink for the pupils .where they can enjoy them- selves under the best influence.

Clinton and Mitchell met in the opening clash of the hockey season, the local boys winning a decisive victory with a score of 8 to 3. In spite of poor ice a fair crowd of fans were treated to some first class hockey with individual rushes and splendid combination plays, pro- viding plenty of excitement from start to finish. Had the ice beep in better shape it is hard to tell what would have happened but there is no doubt there would have been fewer penalties, These were handed out by Referee Caryl Draper without fear or fav- our, Clinton receiving the lion's share. While ail players are deserv- ing of praise, none will begrudge special mention of McEwan, Gibbs, and Twyford, who did stellar work. Tien. Pickett was absent from the line-up on account of sickness, but Trainer Jacic Nediger very ably fil- led the breach. If this game is an indication of the brand of hockey We are to expect, the boys are certainly worthy of Clinton's local support this season. so do not miss the next game. Turn out and boot, it will encourage the players. - Those scoring goals for Clinton were: Rath, 2; MoEwan, 2; Nediger, 1; Gibbs, 1; Elliott 1 and Streets 1.
