After a few words of prayer by Jesse Freeman, Greta Broadfoot gave a pleasing piano sel- ection, kindly responding to an en- core. The topic on "Personality" was given by George Knights, and al- though it sounds commonplace e- nough, it was a very well -thought- out paper. At the close of the topic some time was spent in open discus- sion and Rev. W. A. Bremner of Brucefield and Rev. Mr. Farrill gave some comments on personality. Bill McLaughlin then gave two very a- musing recitations, which caused much merriment. This was followed by a guitar and violin duet by Cliff.

The singing of a hymn brought an interesting program to a close, and Miss Depew, assisted by Doris Miller and Leonard McKnight, took charge of a number of games and contests and a jolly hour was spent.

CASE DISMISSED Mr. Justice Sedgewick, by a judg- mentdelivered at Osgoode Hall, has upheld the decision of the Judge of the surrogate court of Huron County, dismissing the claim of Eli zabeth Hanna, Clinton, 'against the estate of Samuel Sloan Cooper, for $2,905.95. 906.96. The claimant ' contended itled to this aMount for wages at X50 a month under an imlilied contract, for services as ' Cooper's housekeeper from Jan. 8, i 1928, to June 6, 1932. The executors of Cooper's estate opposed the claim on the ground that it was met by a ,begpest in .Cooper's will to Miss ��anu�'of use of "a house and an allowance. ,of X60 l month: from the estate for`'the--st;•of her that she was ent life,. the two sides. Piano solos by Ruth Andrews and Isabelle Robinson 'were pleasingly rendered. The subject of meeting was then given in a most interesting story form by Evelyn' Lever : from which many practical suggestions were drawn. One very interesting' part of the evening's program was the.final packing of sewing, representing weeks of work by girls, and also other clothing donated by mothers,. to be' sent to a section of Ontariq where relief work is greatly needed. This activity of girls has been car- ried on most enthusiastically and satisfactorily. According to the custom of the group, the birthday of Kathleen Cun= inghame was celebrated by all ex- tending in their own happy a3ay, "Many Happy Returns of the Day" and all enjoying a real hearty lunch of good things provided for the hap- py occasion. Meeting then closed with "Taps." APPOINTED ON COMMITTEES Reeve G. H. Elliott was appointed a member of the warden's committer at the January meeting of the Huron County Council held last week. He was also appointed chairman of the Good Roads Commission and a mem- ber of a committee, with Warden Ballantyne and Reeves McNabb and Archibald, to meet representatives of the Perth County Council in Strat- ford ion February 15th.

GODERICH WINS AGAIN On Monday night in the local ar- ena, the Goderich Sailors, in their third consecutive encounter with the Clinton Colts took them into port by a score of 3-1. While the voyage was not exactly rough, it was by no means plain sailing. A large crowd of fans were pre- sent and the ice was in excellent shape. The game was fast and clean regardless of numerous penalties, as most of these were for minor infrac- tions. Referee Norfolk of Stratford hand- led the game well and impartially and very little escaped his eagle eye. After five minutes of play in the first frame, MacDonald and McKay on a nice combination slipped through the Colt's defence and scored the visitors' first goal, the former bat- ting in the puck. The locals defence was considerably weakened as Jack Elliott was playing with an injured shoulder. A few minutes later Kenny Pickett on a pass from Glidden, shot -one at Doak, who cleared, but Pickett was right there for the rebound and flipped in the rubber to even the count. The Sailors' next goal was prac- tically a gift, when Doug. Kennedy in an attempt to stop a shot from outside the blue line, just touched the puck enough to. deflect it past Twyford in the nets. The period end- ed with Goderich one up. No goals were scored in the second round but it was full of excitement The Sailors were most aggressive and were right through many tims, and but for the, great work of Twy- ford in the nets would have scored at least a couple more. Woods and McEwan tried to stage a boxing bout but Referee Norfolk decided that was not the time or place and gave them each five min- utes to cool off. Eleven' penalties were awarded. in this frame, the locals receiving six of them. This was' decidedly .the visi- tors' round but the score, remained unchanged. Halfway through the third stanza with Clinton playing ' .a man short McKay sent a wobbling shot from the wing which eluded Twyford's grasp and the visitors were two goals up. The Colts then staged- a great rally and simply bombarded Doak but he was right on to his job and was also very lucky on a couple. However the 'Colts had delayed too long and the final boll found them two goals behind. 'Tis true the locals are a little down but they are by no means out and are ready to stage a comeback. The line-up: 'Goderich, Doak, goal; Stoddart and Woods, defense; Marney, centre; Mc, Kay and McDonald, wings, 'Allison and Robertson, alternates. Clinton -i Twyford, goal;.

Gandier, Brough' out an audience which -.taxed the capacity 'olf the building, the Sunday - school rooms being thrown open and. chairs placed wherever' a chair could be placed. It was • a representative gathering, men and women of all de= nominations, young and old, coming to pay a lasttribute to a man who was 'honoured and beloved above what it is the lot of many to call out in any community. It was fitting that such a service should take place in this church, tlir building in the erection of which he had been so interested, to which he had ' contributed much time and thought and generous financial help in which he held office and whose services he so regularly attended. Long before the hour arrived tr commence the service the church was full and chairs were being used and when time came to start the choir filed in and up the wide centre aisle, to the music of the organ but wither!'

HOSPITAL NOW FREE OF DEBT The Town of Clinton, In 1923, is- sued debentures amountng to $5000 which amount was handed to the Hospital Association, to assist in re- modelling the old McTaggart home. a generous gift to the Association. by the late Major M. D. McTaggart The Hospital Board which is com- posed entirely of ladies, have, not only equipped and furnished this in- stitution, which is a credit to Clinton and community, but have, with the cooperation of the local doctors, and a most capable Superintendent managed the affairs of the Ilospit:nl so efficiently, that they have beer able to repay to the town the whole of the debenture issue with interest. thus freeing the institution of all in- debtedness, the last payment being' made yesterday. This is a most creditable showing on the part of the board, TIIE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Institute, was held in the Firemen's Hall on Thursday af- ternoon, January 26th, at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Frank Glow, 1st vice-president, presided at this meeting as thepre- sident, Mrs. N. W. Trewartha, was absent. After the secretary's report, the treasurer gave her report showing a balance of over sixty dollars on hand, Some business matters were they discussed, It was decided that the Hard Time Social, which was post- poned in respect to the memory of the late Dr. J. C. iGandier, be held next month.

L. ,-Teard, Miss M.:Trewartha, Mrs. Wm Perdue ,Mrs.. `>a ollt id e and Mrs. W S.R:"Holmes. , DR. J. C. DANDIER in whose memory a community mem- orial was held in Clinton in Wesley - Willis United church on Sunday night last. the usual vocal accompaniment, the congregation standing. They were followed by the pastors of each of the local congregations, including the captain cf the Salvation Army, all of whom took acme part in the service which followed. As the congregation and choir stood the minister of the church gave the opening verses of scripture and ther all sang the first verse of the Duke cf Argyle's matchless rendering 0" the 121 Psalm, "Unto the hills," foI- loved by prayer by Rev. Dr. Dougan. "0 God Our Help," was sung by the congregation and the 90th Psalm read responsively, Rev. K. 1V1cGcun lead- ing, Another scripture was read by Capt. Wilder, a quartette 'composed of Mrs. C. E. Dougan, Mrs. H. R Sharp and Dr. Thompson and Dr. Smillie sang very beautifully "Cros- sing the Bar." This was followed by prayer by Rev. F. G. Farrill and the congregational singing of the beau- tiful hymn "For all the saints who from their labors rest." Then fol- lowed the address, by the Rev. D. E. Foster, pastor of the church, wh- took three passages of scripture un on which to base his remarks. The first: "A man shall be a hiding place from the wind." He said this was spoken by the prophet of Jesus and called attention to the fact that in a country where sudden storms blew up a hiding place was very welcome to travellers and such a description of the coining Messiah would be grateful to the people weary of the winds of adversity and of sorrow. In lesser degree such a thing might be said of Joseph C. Gandier. He had sheltered many from the wind cf sorrow, stood between them and the storms of illness and of death. It was so lie had won the grateful love of so, many. Ile was a roan of stron. theugh, gentle spirit, one upon whom others could lean for strength and support. The second passage he quoted were the words of 'Christ himself: "In my Father's house are many abiding places." As el' preacher understood it the future life is but a continuation of activities. We go from one abiding place to an other, this earth is one, from this wr go on to another. Death' is not the end, it is the opening door into a larger, fuller life. In this life it is not given to mortals to know what lir in store in the life that is to come, but it will be satisfying and fulfill- ing. The third passage was the tri- umphant cry of the Roman prisoner: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." This he said was spoken by a man whose world did not seem to be finished; he was a prisoner, soon to suffer death at the hands of 'a" Roman despot, but it carried no note of defeat. "Long life is not neces- 'nary to finish one's work on earth." he said. "Christ lived upon earth scarce thirty-three years but on th, cross he could say: 'It is finished.' He could say that he had accom- plished what he had come to earth to, do." Mr. Foster finished a very impres- sive and inspiring discourse by quoting Browning's beautiful poem: "Prospice." At the conclusion of the address Miss Ann Stewart sang with much expression, "The City Foursquare." Rev. G. W. Sherman, who was in charge of .the service, announced the last hymn, "Forever With the Lord .' and after the benediction, by the Rev. M. N'. Sullivan, the organist Mrs. Morgan Agnew, played • the "Dead March," the congregation standing with bowed heads until the end, It was a beautiful and' fitting tri- bute. •
