This concert was sponsored by a committee composed of members of the Home and School Club, Women's Institute, Kittle Band, the Fire Com- pany, Canadian Legion and Auxil- iary and the charity committee of the Town Council, and Chief Stong, and it was decided that the entrance fee should be don- ations suitable for welfare work, clothing, groceries, fruit, produce etc., anything, in fact, which could be used for the relief of those in need of assistance, money, of course, not being refused from anyone who wished to contribute cash. A full house greeted the perforemre and another full , house was shown downstairs, where the donations were 'stored in the council chamber. Home -canned fruit canned vegetables, groceries of all kinds, produce, such as eggs and butter, apples, potatoes and other raw vegetables, coke, sev- eral sacks, and bundles of clothing of all kinds. Besides between twen- ty-five and thirty dollars in cash.

He had read in ,one of the Toronto dailies recently of a small village in Quebec which had not spent anything In direct relief, Clinton was in that position, the town council had not spent one cent In direct relief during the past year, Not, he said, because the council was neglecting its duty, but because the several organizations in towr had been looking after whatever re- lief was needed.

MRS. T. LINDSAY Having just entered her ninety- fourth year, her birthday being on Feb. 10th, Anne Churchill, widow of James H. Lindsay, passed away at her home Princess street on Tuesday. The late Mrs. Lindsay was born in London, England, on Feb. 10th, 1840, the day the late Queen Victoria was married. "Disappointing my aunt,” she once whimsically told the writ- er, "as she wanted to go out and see the Queen going to the church in- stead of staying in to mind me." When she was four years old her parents came to this country with their little family, travelling all the way from Hamilton to Huron county by wagon. They settled on a farm in Goderich township, that is now occu- pied by Mr. H. Graham. Later they proved to the farm now occupied by Mr. C. E. Wise. Mrs, Lindsay could tell many an interesting story of pioneer days in Goderich township. She recalled on one ocacsion, it was when they mov- ed to the Wise place, the fire had died down in the hearth and as mat- ches were unknown, her older sister was sent through the woods to a neighbors, nearly a mile away, for seine coals These live Coals she car, And ,home carefully covered with ashes in a :small iron saucepan. She remembered, too, that wolves were often heard howling in the night and once her father was "timed" by a pack of wolves. .As daylight . ap- proached they were frightened away and he was able to get home. Mrs. Lindsay was married to the late James H. Lindsay in 1866, and they started Iife together, meeting the privations of pioneer life with courage and fortitude. She learned to spin as a young girl and could do all sorts' of fine needlework. She used to exhibit to her friends a very beautifully embroidered handker- chief, which she worked as a girl. For some years Mrs. Lindsay has; been in failing • health and during the past few months has ;been confined TWO MORE WEEKS'- GRACE A further extension of time for procuring 1933 motor licenses had been granted by Hon. L. Macauley, minister of highways, the time being extended until Mar, 16th, But the minister warns that no .further ex- tension should be expected.

CLINTON TRIMS GODERICH In the local arena last night before the largest crowd of the season, the Goderich Sailors and Clinton Colts fought the second gatpe of the group finals. The locals emerging victorious by a Score of 2-0. The only shut -out of the whole group, Both teams are now even. This mean:, that a third game will be played, possibly in 'Gcderich on Friday. Considering the wet and slushy state of the ice the game was very fast and clean, very few penalties being awarded. Referee Johnny Jones of Guelph keeping the game well in hand. The wits was particularly gratify- ing as out of seven encounters with the Sailors this was the Colts' first victory and a decisive one tea ae they had by far the best of the play and but for the fine work of Doak in the Goderich nets the score would have been larger. Twyford in the nets for Clinton played his best game of the season, but hadn't nearly so many shots to handle and had great support from the defense. Clinton's first counter was notched by "Timmer MMlcEwan" in the first period when he swooped in on a re- bound. The second period was scoreless. Early in the third Kenny Pickets scored the second on a pass from McEwan which was a very neat play. All the players gave the best that they had and skated and checker' like fiends but Kennty Pickett was undoubtedly the best man on the ice, as he was in Monday's game in God- erich and gave an exhibition of stick handling that was a treat to watch. If the Colts play as hard and as well in their next game they should carry off group 'honors. Here's luck to them anyway. The Line-up: Goderich--Goal, Doak; defense, Stoddart and Work; centre, McKay' wings, McDonald, E. Robinson; al- ternates, B.
