On Saturday, there was a family dinner party, at the residence, with guests present from Orillia, Mitchell, Hensall and Clinton. Mayor Holmes, on coming down town, on Saturday requested that the flag be flown on the town hall. in honour of Mr. Cantelon's birthday. Mr. Cantelon, for ,many years took an active interest in civic affairs, having served the town on the corn cil as reeve and as, mayor. During his many years of active business life, Mr. Cantelon has made a host of friends who wish him many more years of health and happiness. Mr. Cantelon for all his ninety years, stands as straight, or straight br, than many of the younger gen- eration, and being in the best . of health, thoroughly enjoyed the fes- tivities on Saturday. In the afternoon and evening, Mr. Cantelon, assisted by his daughter, Miss Dorothy Cantelon, 'of Clinton, and Mrs. Weatherwax, of Orillia, and two nieces, of Hensall, and Miss 13. McRoberts of London, received the friends, who came to wish Mr. Cante- ran, "Many Happy Returns of the Day." Presiding at the „ tea -table was Mrs. Adam Cantelon, sister-in-law of Mr. Cantelon.

The reception room bloomed with 'mums and roses, gifts from friends and business associates. About sixty .people from Goderich THE HOME PAPER HOCKEY GROUPINGS Things should •boil a little faster, in hockey circles, now that the O.H.A. has announced the groupings for the different classes, and all indications point to a great year, especially in the "B" series. Both Clinton teams have secured good groupings and the Juniors, be- ing already organized,have only to wait for a sheet of ice to practice on. With the Intermediates the situa- tion apparently is different; They, have the grouping, but so far they have failed to cone anywhere near ironing out their seemingly many dif- ficulties. However, high hopes are being held out that as strong, if not stronger team, will wear the Clinton colors this. winter. Following are the groupings as handed down by the O.H.A. The Intermediates will be found in Group 10 of Intermediate "B", .The Juniors'' in Group 12 of Junior "B", Class Shower and Supper An annual event is the fowl sup- per which Mrs. Milton Wiltse extends to members of her Sunday School Class, In connection with this event which took place recently, a miscel- laneous shower of gifts was present- ed to a member of the class, Mrs. Fergus McKay (nee Adeline Bayley), a late October bride. Following the bounteous supper contests and games were enjoyed by the class members, and the presen- tation of gifts was a highlight of the evening. Since Mrs: McKay is leavingthis community regret in losing a member of the class was expressed, but best wishes for her future happiness were extended. During the past season many members of the class have mov- ed away following their: marriage, but the splendid class spirit is still maintained through the cooperation 'of teacher and class.

How- ever the games were close and no doubt the two will hook up again at a later date. The score by games was: Wearwell Richmond 928 874 9'46 . 945 996 933 Tom Churchill, for Wearwell, and Bert White, for Richmond, were high point -getters.

Three Cars Involved In Crash During Fog Suffering frons painful but not serious injuries, Mrs. James Chown, Clinton, and Miss Vera Will of Hay- field, were taken to Clinton Hospital on Friday evening following a crash which involved three cars. The mis- hap occurred an No. 4 highway, about four miles north of town. Carmen McPherson, driving north north to Londesboro, to attend a dance was obliged to park his car when one of the tires went flat. W, Williams, aprpoaching fromt h e south failed to notice the parked car until almost on top of it, and in an attempt to swing clear crashed into the rear of the standing vehicle. The car driven by Mr. James Chow - en was the next on the scene, and it too crashed into the standing car. Riding with him were his wife, Kelso Streets and Miss Wild. Mrs. Chowen was thrown forward against the in- strument panel and suffered facial in- juries. Miss Wild who was riding in the rear seat was thrown forward and received ankle and knee injuries. Fortunately the men escaped with a severe shaking up. The injured were attended by Dr. F. G. Thompson. Due to the fact that a heavy fog made visibility practically impossible, those involved are fortunate that the injuries received were not more ex- tensive.

They next entered the home of Al- lan Johnston, where they stole two wrist watches. From there they pro- ceeded to Brucefield where„ they en- tered three homes, those of Eldon Johnston, Bert McKay and James Ai- kenhead.
