Agricultural Society MakeS
Presentation to lVir. McLeod
It was fitting that the chair should
be occupied by - the chairman of the
Huron Central Agricultural Society
when a representative gathering of.
the officials of that organization,
with a number of friends from town
met in the Agricultural Office on
Thursday . nvening an al farewell
gathering in honor of Mr. Ian Mc•
Leod.
An address was read to the de-
parting representative by the sec-
1tetary of the society, Mr. George
H. Elliott, and the presentation of
a beautiful travelling bag on behalf
of the societyby past, president, H,
C. Cox.
Mr. McLeod ably expressed his ap-'
predation for the gift and introdue-'
ed his successor, Mr. J. G. Shearer,
who also . spoke briefly.
The Address:
It is with inixed feeling of regret
and rejoicing that we are here this
evening to pay a tribute of respect
to you, Mr. McLeod, the kgricultur=
al Representative of the Provincial
Government. We regret very much
that you are leaving Clinton and
this. vicinity. You: have served faith-
fully and well during the term of
your office here and have rendered
sympathetic service in your 'partie-
nlarly unassuming manger with the
result that you can count those
Whom you, have served as your true
friends. Moreover, you have brought
to your people a wide and thorough
understanding of the farmers' prob-
lems so that those whom it has been
your privilege to serve have had
the very best of assistance in the
science of farming, We rejoice, how-
ever, in the fact that your new posi-
tion carries with it a promotion in
your profession. As a result of
your stay here we have come to look'
upon you as a son of this community;
more particularly since you are in
fact a real son-in-Iaw; and again we
feel that rejoicing that always comes
with thenews of a native son mak-
ing good out In Otis great world
of affairs.
Mr. ` McLeod, your work in the
Huron Central Agricultural Society
is only typical of the service you
have rendered in all the phases of
your many-sided duties. It has al-
ways been rendered with kindly con-
sideration and cheerfulness and at
the same time with accuracy and• a
true knowledge of the case. There-
fore, we felt that we could not let
you go without some tangible token
of our respect for you and in ap-
preciation of the assistance you
have always so willingly rendered,.
It is only typical of every phase of
your contacts in this. community.
Therefore,, we would ask you to ac-
cept this small token of our esteem
for you. It has been chosen with
great care and for these special
reasons. For while your newduties
carry you many miles away, we trust
and hope that you shall often 're-
turn to see the fruits of your lab-
ors, and .to watch _theprogress of
your harvests here. Therefore, we
trust that yeti will often pack this
grip and make many . return trips
to this fair County, to whose prog-
ress" inn agriculture emu have con-
tributed not a little.
Frank H. Powell,
Pres. Huron Agricultural Society.

Wingham Lose, Out in Two
Close Gaines
In spite of the -fact that the Wing -
ham boys got a writeup by their own
paper classing them worse than juv-
eniles for losing the Labor Day game
10-9, they earned the respect of the
Colts in both games which provided
some of the best baseball either
Wingham or Clinton fans have seen
this year. While we were not present
last night for the return game those
who saw the game or listened to it
over CKNX say it was every bit as
good as the first, The Colts won 6-5.
Neither team registered in the
first inning: Clinton broke away in
the secondith H. Hawkins scoring wr r
g a
home run. The next inning was
scoreless. Clinton came back with
three in the next started off with a
two bagger by Hawkins.
Wingham retaliated in the next
and evened the count. The next
three innings were scoreless for both.
teams. Then Clinton came up two in
their half of the final frame. It was
still anyone's game when Wingham
came back with a run with only one
out but the Colts held the Tort.
The boys deserved to win this
series. As in the first tilt, they were
playing with a weakened team due to
injuries and unavoidable absence of
some of the regular players. Jack
Hawkins of the. Juvenile team added
strength :to the infield and also at
bat. The whole team deserves credit
h coming out on top with the cards
stacked against them, but that is the
spirit of the Clinton Colts.
Mrs. McLeod Receives
Farewell Gift
At a meeting of the Girls' Club
of the Presbyterian church held on
Tuesday evening at the home of the
secretary, Mrs. Frank Muteh, Mrs.
Ian McLeod, the president, was pre-
sented with a farewell gift Miss
Dorothy Streets voiced the regret of
the members of the ofganization in
losing one who has been faithful and
devoted to the work. In. appreciation
of her services and as a gift of re-
membrance Mrs. McLeod was pre-
sented with a lace tablecloth by Mrs.
Thomas Morgan, the newly elected

Lions Juveniles Eliminated
Owen Sound definitely put the
Clinton Cubs out of the running in
the O.B.A. playdowns in the return
game at Owen Sound on Saturday.
Due to a drizzling rain only six in-
nings were played and at that time
the score stood 8-1 in favor of the
home team.
The score was not indicative of
the play however and in the six in-
nings only two errors were chalked
up against the Clinton kids, Owen
Sound played an errorless game.
With the choice of players available
in the larger centres the kids were
faced with a different type of team,
most of them bordering the age
limit.. In addition they were facing
Iles, a left-handed pitcher, who this
summer attracted the eye of Dan
Howley of the Maple Leafs baseball
school. He remarked that Iles was
the most promising left-handed pit-
cher he had seen this year. Butler
pitched the six innings for Clinton.
The boys have made a good show-
ing their first year in '0.13.A. con,
petition and have done remarkably
well in going so far. Only five teams
remain in the playdowns and these
represent the larger centres. While
these teams are •battling it out the
•Clinton boys can 'talk hockey and
plan strategic plays to take them to
the top in the coming winter's hodk-
ey season.
McDonald's Big Day
Fred McDonald, formerly third
baseman for the Clinton Colts is
counted somewhat of a here in Han-
over. Freddie earned the batting
crown in the Bruce League "B" series
and in the deciding game of the Han-
over -Owen. Sound play-offs, a homer,
triple, double, sacrifice and 2 walks
in six times at bat made him the
golden -haired boy of the day. He
himself scored five of Hanover's 13
runs on this occasion. McDonald
earned the laurels as the leading hit-
ter of the series, with a record of
twenty-two hits in forty-nine appear-
ances at bat, for the spectacular per-
centage of .490.
Quintuplet Tomatoes and
Apple Blossom
Perhaps stmeone well versed in
botany can explain the reasonfor
two freaks of plant life brought into
the office last weekend. One is a
quintuplet tomato, somewhat resem-
bling a star in shape, all five tom-
atoes being joined together and ap-
parently grownfrom one blossom.
This was picked in Mrs. Harvey Mc-
Brien's garden. '
In another garden in Clinton an
apple tree is blossoming :for the
second time this year. A sample of
the bloom .was brought in by Miss
Evelyn Cooper last week and ,we are
told that the tree was loaded with
blossom in the spring and has every
indication of being equally well cov-
ered before the frosts come.
