OBITUARY Mrs. J. A. Thompson Is Laid To' Rest The many friends and neighbours gathered at the J. A. Thompson home At 2 pan. Saturday, Dec. 3, 1938, to pay final tribute to the memory of 1VIrs, John A. Thompson. Rev. Thos. Hart of Provost and Rev. Geo. Forsey of Macklin, confided a very sympa- thetic service. Her enthusiastic de- votion to her home, church and com- munity was stressed as an inspiration to others. Two of her favorite hymns were sting "Nearer My God To Thee" And "What A Friend We Have In Jesus", Mrs. Hart sang 'Corn; Let 'Us Sing Of A Wonderful Love" very tenderly,. • •1 Mrs. Thompson was born August 18, 1885, in Goderich Township, Ont. ;and was married as Grace Eunice , 'McDougall to John A. Thompson at Hayfield, Ont., April 7th, 1908, when they Diroceeded to Lloydmitister, trek -1 'king, in 80 miles to their homestead.] Mrs.• Thompson was a fine •type of 'early pioneer occupied with her fain,' ily and her community. She died November 29, 1938, at the age of 53 years, 3 months, 11 days. Mrs. Thompson will always be re- membered as a most wonderful wife, mother and friend which endeared her to all. The host of beautiful flowero, wreaths, sprays and pillows wee° a silent tribute of love like jewels of remembrance. Shc was always an ardent church worker, being original- ly a staunth Presbyterian, and was an active member al the Presbyterian Ladies Aid in the early days of, that Church in llilacklin and later joining the ranks of the 'United Church. At the time of her death she was 131'0Hi• dent of the Hayter Ladiea' Aid and Vice -President of the. WoMens' In- stitute, Many of their successes Were due to her zealous activities. Her sterling qdalities, hiloving disposition, her readiness to help those in distress made her an out- standing character to' an extensiVe community.

First Hockey Game Next Tuesday After a long. time wondering. and Waiting for something definite to pub- lish we can finally say without fear of contradiction that 'the Colts will he in the field,again this year. Sea - forth have been scheduled to meet the Colts here next Tuesday night. We need Imrdly say that there is no love ldat between thesetwo teams, and it should be a keen contest. , "Boney'' Foster' Will be in the line•• up again this year and will bring along a newcomer to the Clinton ranks, Yungblutt. Then there will be Reg Porterfield. Most .of the old reliables be back in harness again. Stade of course will be tend- ing. the Seaforth' nets' and the CoIts will be busy throwing rubber at him all the time. The Clinton and District Ibekey League held a well attended meeting Monday . evening. Representatives from Kinburn, Londesboro and Tuck- ersmith township, Bemniller and Lee - burn and also two teams from Clin- ton were on hand. Two games will be played every Tuesday night, the first game to start.at 7.30 pan. on Wednesday night next week. South Clinton will meet Kinburn and North Clinton will battle it out with Ben - Miller. . This league will furnish some keen competition. Three teams will get a bye every week as it would take un- til morning to ruti off three games avery week. There will be it game with every teathin the league and the first four teams to play off, 1st and 3rd, and 2nd .and 4th in the league. Winners will compete in the finals and the elm will be presented the winners. They will go on to meet the winners in the Ontario' Rural Hockey Association. The Lions will sponsor a Juvenile entry this year. Their team will lik- ely be grouped with Mitchell, Sea - forth, and Winghain. A meeting is being held in the near future to draw up a schedule. This team should not be confused with the Lions lea- gue as they will be affiliated with the Ontario Juvenile Hockey Associa- tion. Then too there will be the Midget series, with the kids compet- ing for the News -Record trophy. If the weatherman is kind Clinton fans will see two good contests next week, the Colts on Tuesday night, and the District league games Wed- nesday night. In order that it selection of players may be made in the District League those who will be available to play for Soothern Clinton should get in touch with Hugh Hawkins or Bert White, and for Northern Clinton to Bob Combos not later than, Tuesday night.

So far the interest shOwn has not been very keen, the greatest interest being centred around the reeveship.. Reeve Livermore is seeking a third term and will have as his opponent, Glen Cook. The name of Dave Churchill has also been given as another con- tender. New Councillors have scarcely been mentioned. N. W. Trewartha of the present councilis the only man who has come into the open and expressed his intention ef seeking another term. An aspirant for it vacant seat as councillor will be Morgan Agnew. These are the only ones we can be definite in naming although there will likely be more names placed on the docket on Monday evening. For the Public .,School Board there will have to be at least one member elected for a term of one year to fill the vacancy in St. George's Ward caused by the death of Major Firth who was elected last year for a two year term. Four other members can either be given an acclamation or other candidates nominated. . The Public Utilities Commission seat may cause a contest and Thomas Hawkins' name has been mentioned as a likely =tender. When we ask- ed Mr. Hawkins yesterday he did not care to commit himself definitely. on this point however, but will do so Monday evening. Wesley -Willis Officers The December meeting of the W. M.S. of Wesley -Willis church was held on the evening of.December 13th with the President, Mrs. Pickard in the chair.
