HONOURED By ALMA MATER
11Nn. Harry Ball of ` Clinton was
guest of honour; and chief speaker at
a dinner given by the Geological
Club .of_the University of ,Western
Ontario on Wednesday evening of
last meek. The Fee Pftess of Thurs-
day had the following report of the
gathering;; : • ;
"Reononile conditions in Chile,
which lead those who study the coun-
-try to prophecy a, splendid future for
its industrial activities,.= were outlin-
ed last night by Harry all, of Clin-
ton, who was guest of;lionour at a
dinner given by .the Geological ‘Club
of the University of Western Ontar-
io at the Venetian Grill. Mr, Ball,
who is home on •a short furlough
from Chile, where he jias been en-
gaged in geological work for the past
three years, is a member of the class
of 1927 of the College of Arts.
He was introduced tc the meeting
by Prof. J, W; RusselII head of the
department of geolog4 who briefly
traced the growth an& development
of• scientific geological}interests at
the local college. Prof:Russell stat-
ed that the guest of honour was one
of the inaugurators of ghe course of
honour geology at Wlestern.
-In describing Chile 1, the speaker
stated that the natives.'' who are a
race of hard• working °•;people are
chiefly a mixture of ' Indians and
Spaniards. The chief industry of the
country is concerned :iVith the ex-
traction of sodium nitriite, which is
used throughout the wind as a fer-
tilizer. Plans are under way at the
present time for the amalgamation
of various foreign interests which
will be responsible for the develep-
inent ofthe lower grade ores. •
The history of the dis every of the
nitrate deposits formed an interest-
ing part of the address: Wiben the
natives on their way to the coast Bt
fires overnight, they noticed a pe-
culiar `burning of the gi ound.' This
fact .they: drew -to the. ttention... of
native priests who' were considered
the savants of the nation. The
priests were not particularly inter-
ested and threw the strange white
earth away in their garden. The
vegetation which grew the following
year was of a much better variety
than ever before. Through the pro-
cess of deduction the natives learnt
the properties of the 'chemical.
The strange stories , of pirates,
which were supposed to have buried
their treasures along the South Am-
erican coast were also retold by 'I r.
Ball, and the legends which have sur-
vived through all the centuries form-
ed an interesting part of his address.
Other speakers included D. Run -
nails, Bruce Russell, Alan Beattie,
Dr. J. A. •Gunton, head of the ahem -
fatty at Western, . and Prof, J. W.
Russell, G. Ii, Reavely, of the de-
partment of geology, president a1

The Clinton Junior hockey' team
was `defeated by Exeter by the score
of 4-1, Tuesday evening. The game
was a poor exhibition of, hockey as
tate ice was soft in spots and the
teams couldn't play any combina-
tion.
The first period was hard fought
with Exeter netting the first Multi-
ter
inter of the game, when the . period
was half over.'
The second period started fast
with Clinton carrying the play to
the Exeter team. In this period
Clinton had it all over the Exeter
team but they couldn't get a goal
and the period ended 1-0 in favour of
Exeter:
The last period was rough and the
ice was getting worse. Exeter got
another goal in the. early stages of
the period, then Clinton came right
back and scored their only rim of
the game. Shortly. after Exeter got
2 more goals and the game ended 4-1.
THE CHRISTMAS CIIEER FUND
The News -Record Christmas Cheer
Fund, since its inception a fortnight
ago, has met with steady support
and as paid to us or to Chief Stong
treasurer, has been handed over to
the Welfare Committee of the fiome
and School Club, who are kindly
expending it to bring cheer and a
breath of Christmas to homes which
need it in the town.
The Horne and School Club has
had this committee for some time
and they have been looking after
children, particularly those who
needed clothing suitable for wear to
school, etc. They have not asked
help, except from individual friends
from time to time, but their activ-
ities have not been confined to any
one season or any one section of
the town. - And this year they con-
sented to administer the funds rais-
ed by the Kiltie Band at their ben-
efit concert and contributed to the
above. It means some extra work
at .a season when• most housewives
have plenty to occupy their time, but
they have• not hesitated to take it
on and we feel sure that many a
young heart, and some older ones,
too, have been made lighter this
Christmas morning, thanks to their
labours, to the generous thought of
the Band and to those who gener-
ously contributed the money neces-
sefy for the providing of this Christ-
mas Cheer.
The News -Record extends thanks
to all who contributed to its fund and
trusts that Christmas will be alt the
brighter to them on account of their
generosity. -

tChristmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and Hearty honesty; it was the season of hospitality,'
merriment and open -heartedness; the. old year was preparing, like an ancient philosopher, to call his friends
around him, and amidst the -sound of feasting and revelry to. pass gently and .calmly away. :Gay and marry
was the time. And =wrens indeed are the beasts to which GhiistinaA brings a brief season of happiness
and enjoyment. +Hoot/ many £amilie5, whose, inetabers have been dispersed and scattered far and wide, in the
restless ,struggles of life, are then reunited and meet once again im tbathappy state Of companionship and
Mutual good -will, :which is a source of pure'sinicl unalloyed delight and oi.e so incompatible with the, cares
and'sorrowa of the world„ that the religious beliof of the' most civilizadnations and the rude traditions of'
the roughest' savages, alike, number. it among the first joys of a future state'of exxistanee provided for the
Nest and happy, irony recollections and how irony dormant, sympathies .does Cliitistmas time awake?
