After .a vote of thanks had been tendered to the Ladies' Club of St, Thomas' Church for their generous, hospitality, the meeting closed with the National' Anthem,: THE HOME PAPE GOOD. APPLES They grow some wonderful apples out in Goderieh township, the Stir- sings, the Middletons, the Sloan - Smiths, and others have 'orchards Which are a wonder to those who are not accustomed to see such fruit. The other day The News -Record had proof of the choiceness of some of this fruit when Mr. J. R. Stirling brought into this office a basket of apples such as would be hard to e- qual. They were a variety, Onter- ios, 'Pippins, Spies, etc., less than two dozen filling an eleven, quart basket, and the colouring was some- thing to exclaim at. With such fruit growing in our orchards this county is to be con- gratulated. Of course they do not just grow like wild raspberries on a bush.Mr. ;Stirling says he sprayed his orchard six trines. But, even though it' takes some work, there is something to show for it. Mr. Stir- ling is contemplating shipping some apples to England. The latest re- ports are that the market is rather depressed just now but with winter fruit of this quality there should be no difficulty of getting a good mar- ket later on. FUNERAL OF H. COOK The funeral of the late Henry' Cook, whose regrettable death was the result of a motor accident last week, was held from the home Satur- day. The circumstances in connec- tion with his death and the esteem in which he was held in the com- munity and the sympathy felt for the sorrowing relatives, brought out a very large attendance at the fun- eral.

BAD MOTOR ACCIDENT A regrettable accident occurred on the London Road a couple of miles or so south of !Clinton on Monday af- ternoon a few minutes after five o'- clock, when a car owned and driven by Mr. W. Collinson of Blyth, ran into the ditch on passing Miss Viola Fraser and Miss Margaret Cudmore, who were roller skating on the right hand side of the highway. Mr. Collinson apparently lost con- trol of the car, which skidded along the highway then ran into the ditch and into a tree. Chester Bruce war in the front seat and he and Mr. Col- linson escaped with miner bruises. In the back seat were Mr, and Mrs. Hasson and their two small children. The children were thrown clear and escaped unhurt but Mr. Hasson re- ceived a wound in the head requiring several stitches to close and Mrs, Hasson suffered a bad head wound, possibly a skull facture, and a frac- tured pelvis bone. Her injuries at time of writing are considered ser- ious but it is not known how serious. Mr. Hasson has been able to Ieave the hospital. All were thrown from the ear with the exception of Mrs. Hasson, The injured woman is only about twenty-two yearsof age. The two girls, who are members of the Public school staff, say that they narrowly escaped being struck by the car. They rendered what as- sistance they could, Dr, Thompson of Clinton was called and rendered first aid and had the injured ones brought in to the hospital, and the little ones, one a little over a year old and the other somewhat over two, were brought in to Mrs. Bowes, a former neighbor hi Blyth, who car- ed for them until relatives carne and took them to their home.

Sorry. The first of a series of bridge teas to be put on by the Ladies' Golf Club was given at the hone of Mrs. J. E.

REMEMBRANCE DAY "Put me in remembrance," saith the Lord, and peace will sheathe man's devastating sword.. , . There will be pictures in home -fires to -day of sturdy little boys at happy play; of clear-eyed youngsters planning what they'll be when, school years over, they like Dad are free. The coals will fall apart and in their glow—)Crosses in Flanders, silent row on row. Ah! many tear -dimmed eyes to -day will look in Memory's heart -harboured, precious book. A lonely woman will re- live the bliss of her brave lover's long, and farewell kiss, .. A wife will see her husband's twisted smile. "The war will end in just a little while." Then suddenly pale memory marks a sign—Crosses in Flanders endless line on line. "Put me in remembrance," saith the Lord, and peace will sheathe man's devastating sword; and perfect peace our daily lot will he, because, 0 Lord, "our mind is stayed on Thee." —Wilheimine Stitch. N+kwvwwr11 CLINTON COLLEGIATE BRINGS BACK HOUGH CUP AFTER MORE THAN SCORE OF YEARS ' Friday, November 3rd found the Football team of the Clinton Colle- giate journeying to Listowel to play the first of a hone and hone games series with the Listowel boys to de- termine whether the ancient Haugh cup should rest on Listowel shelves for anotherear or change it's Y place of residence, and adorn once more the mantle -piece of the C.C.I, The Haugh Cup, as many will know, has been in competition for a good many years and if nteinory does not fail us we believe that Clinton held this much coveted trophy in 1910, losing it to Galt the following year. Where it has kept itself since that time is unknown to the writer but we are told by Mt. Smith, Prin- cipal of the Listowel School, that for the greater part of the last twen- ty years the Listowel school and it's pupils have been the proud posses- sors. Mr. Smith further states that during his eleven years sojourn at POPPY DAY' The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Clin- ton Branch of the Canadian Legion are again assisting the local 'branch in their annual Poppy Day Cam- paign, which will be held this year on Friday, Nov. 10th, when a house to house canvas will be made during the day. Poppies will also be sold on main street during the evening. Poppy Day is recognized not only in Canada, but throughout the Bri- tish Empire, and all proceeds derived from the manufacture and sale of these emblems of sacrifice go direct- ly for relief of distressed veterans and their dependents. The ]oval officers of the Legion are looking forward to the loyal support of the citizens of,Clinton and vicinity in this worthy appeal, the twofold objective of which is— Re- membrance of the glorious dead and practical assistance to the living. LEGION ATTENDS SERVICE The members of Clinton Branch No. 140, the Canadian Legion, at- tended service in the Salvation Are my Citadel, Sunday morning, The Legion, headed by the I0iltie Band, marched to the barracks, where they were given the forward seats. The band occupied 'the platform and led the service of song conducted 'by Mr, Agnew. The ladies of the Aux- iliary and many pcitizens of the town. were also resent. One verse of "Holy, Holy, Holy" was followed by prayer led by Mr, A. Kuighton, 'of London. Mr. Nor- wood read the scripture lesson. Dur- ing the offertory Mr. A. Knighton sang "Abide with Me," accompanied by the band. After singing "0 God Our Help in Ages Pasts," an inspiring address was given by Envoy Ferguson of London, who ,is a returned soldier. His text was taken from the 21st verse of the 7th chapter of Judges, "And they stood every men in his place about, the camp;. and 'all the host ran and cried and fled." Two minutes of silent prayer were observed after the address and prayer for the widows and sick sold- iers Was offered by Captain Miles. (During the services a Memorial Wreath was placed upon the pulpit by Mr, Bezzo, Listowel he has only lost the cup twice, 1 So you see what the Clinton boys had to face. however, they went up' to Listowel with a fighting spirit- and were determined to give the. Listowel boys a real game. Due,to a heavy rain the night be- fore the playing field was quite hea- vy but nevertheless this tended to. make the boys week all the harder. The game opened up rather slow- ly in the first half, partly due to the heavy field. However, after fif- teen minutes had elapsed the Listo- wel boys broke through to score the first goal of the game. The game advanced about eight minutes when. Snider of Clinton scored on a clever' combination play. The score at the end of the first half was a tie—One all. When the boys returned they- seemed heyseemed to take a new lease on life and Clinton was found putting on. all kinds of pressure in an effort to - advance the scone. They were fin- ally rewarded with a -tricky goal by McCall. Thei} hopes were shortly shatter- ed as Listowel came right back to tie the score once more. As the game was drawing to a close Listowel reeeivkd a penalty kick but McInnes, who had played a stellar game throughout, smothered the shot and the game ended in a tie 2-2. bir. Sutter of Clinton refereed' the game in a satisfatcory manner.. aes�! The return game was played in Clinton on Monday, November 6th, and the weather conditions were much more favorable than the previous game, A warm day and a dry field should have caused the members of' both teams to play inspired football. However, the first half was very listless and injuries to Ross of Clin- ton and Thompson, the Listowel cap- tain, seemed to dishearten the play- ers of both teams. The first half ended with no score. The second half opened with more vim ancl,after• ten minutes of play McCall took a corner kick which Snider converted' into a goal, playing the ball off his head. Five minutes later the play was carried into Listowel territory and after a scramble in front of the Listowel goal, Garret picked up the loose bail and scored. Listowel figured in several combin- ation plays in an endeavour to cut down the lead set up by Clinton but on each occasion were blocked. Snider scored another goal in the dying minutes of the game but it was disallowed, the final score being two to nothing in favour of Clinton. This game was handled with satis- faction by Jack Fritz of Listowel. And, after an absence of twenty - odd years this old cup comes hack to Clinton. It will have a better resting place than in the old days,. as the new collegiate has been built in the meantime, but somehow, even the new building puts on a brighten appearance since Monday. It is an unmistakable smile of welcome, Clinton Line-up: Goal, 'McInnes; full backs, Weston and Murdock; halves, Rutherford, Dale, Gerald Holmes; centre, Ross; inside right, Snider.; outside right, Sturgeon; inside left, -McCain; out- side left, Murphy. alternates, Gar- rett, McKinnon, Cecil Holmes.
