How- ever when the period was a little bet- ter than"'hal£ over, Lorne "Whoopee" Brown, carried the puck down the ice, rounded the defence and sent a hot one -at Stoddart, who stopped it, but Owen Combe was on the job .and slapped the rebound in the net for periods e only the first and goalof the p We might say that "Bunny" Dale, in the nets for Clinton, handled some very ticklish shots, too, and was one of the stars of the game. There were . three penalties, Cook and Holmes of Clinton, and Westbrooke for Goderich. The second perigd opened with both teams playing a much faster and better game, marred perhaps a, little by the players being inclined to .push a !bit, and the referee appar, ently not getting some of it. About half way through "Tid" Gook scored on a solo effort, when he skated down the ice to the Goderich blue line and let a hard drive go, which caught the top corner of the net. It was a hard drive and caught the ,Goderich goalie off his guard. This was the only goal of the period. Several penalties were handed out in this ,period. Although no goals were scored in the final period there were many close calls, and both goalies were called on to make several spectacular saves. There was only one penalty in this stanza, MacDonald of Clinton being the offender. The game .ended with both teams trying hard, and the score 2-0 in favour of the homes stens. It would be hard to pick any stars on the night's play as every player was in there working all the time and everyone was pleased with the brand of hockey played.

Elliott, After getting away to a bad start by losing two games in a row, the Clinton Bluebirds, with their back to the wall, sallied forth on Tuesday night and tangled sticks with the Mitchell boys on the latter's home ice, and they came out of the tangle on the big end of a 5-2 score. The Bluebirds had the best of the play throughout, although when the first period ended, the score was 1-0 in favour of Mitchell, the one goal coming from the stick of Wilson. This was due largelyto the fact that the Clinton boys could not get the old rubber passing, and it seemed to go where they didn't want it to. rich Juniors into camp on Monday Early in the second period "Tim- night to the tune of 2-0. It was a mei" • McEwan grabbed the puck, typical Goderich-Clinton game — ,rounded the defence and scored on a plenty of excitement—which kept hard shot which beat .Casey. A few minutes later Streets batted one in from a scramble in front of the Mit- chell nets. Kennedy, Clinton's right winger, then scored on a longshot, making the count 3-1 for Clinton. Wilson of Mitchell shot one from the Clinton blue line and scored. Short- ly afterwards Bingeman scored for Clinton, making the score 4-2, and thus the period ended. The third period had been under way eight minutes, when Kennedy scoffed the final goal of, the game. Clinton played cautiously from then on, the Mitchell' team trying •hard, ut they could not beat Elliott in the ets. The genie ended with the score W L MEETING The regular meeting of the Wo- men's Institute will he held in the Firemen's Hall on Thursday, Jan- uary 25th, at three o'clock, sharp, not two -thirty, this month.

It is a copy of the first impression from movable types, by Johann Guttenberg, in 1445,. showing the piaster printer: anxiously scanning the result, while his workers stood around, all manifesting much interest. This picture was sent to Mr. W. D. Fair as a Christ- mas card from Mr. James Malcolm, a former resident of Clinton, and Mr. Fair, instead of laying it aside, as so many such little tokens are and have to be, put a neat frame upon it and brought it down to this office, as an appropriate place for such a picture. The picture, by an early artist, is reproduced here in original colors and is an interesting study, carrying the mind back to the days when the art of printing was in its infancy. THE TOWN LEAGUE Last evening two more games were played in the town league. The weather being cold for the past couple of days made the first good ice of the season possible, and the teams turned it on in good style. Last evening's games put Gerald Holmes' Maple Leafs and Sam Cas- tle's Canadiens out in front with The Leafs leading the group and the Canadiens second. The Maroons are third, and the cellar position is at the present time occupiedby, the Senators, HO'RTICU•LTURAL SOCIETY Owing to •other gatherings there were not enough out at the Horticul- tural Society meeting' on ,Friday ev- ening last to constitute a quorum and it was postponed until this, Thurs day, evening at eight o'clock, in the council chamber. Better come out and get the organization off to a good start for 1934. FIRST 'SKATING PARTY The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pres- byterian Church put on the first skating • P Y art of the season on Thurs- day evening last in the local arena, A :,fairly good crowd gathered to en- joy the skating, and the ice was fine. The Krltie band furnished music and the ladies served sandwiches, hot dogs, coffee, etc., and did a nice lit- tle trade all evening'. HOME AND SCHOOL.CLUB MARSHALL—.GRISWOLD The chapel of the Church of St, John the Evangelist, London, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Wednesday of last week, when Nellie Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. p, A. Griswold, of Melbourne, was uni- te d in marriage to Robert H. Mar- shall, Port Colborne, son of Mrs. Marshall and the late R. Marshall of Clinton. Rev. Canon C. E. Jeakius officiated. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, was charming in a gown of goblin blue transpar, ent velvet, made on fitted lines, with a short train and inset sleeves of white georgette, trimmed with seed pearls. She wore a turban to match and silver slippers and carried a bouquet of Johanna Hill roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Beatrice El- liot, wore pale green transparent velvet, with black accessories and carried Talisman roses. Mr. Stanley Kennedy, of Port Col- borne, assisted the groom. After -the ceremony a reception was held at the Venetian Grill, at which thirty-five guests, including Mrs. Marshall, the bridegroom's mo- ther, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lawson and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ford of Clin- ton, were present. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall left for Toronto and points east, the bride travelling in a green dress, with hat and shoes to match, and a muskrat coat. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall on their re- turn will reside in Port Colborne. Leafs Defeat 'Maroons In the first game the teams were very evenly matched with the Maple Leafs getting a bit the better of the breaks and when they had a s coring chance they didn't fool but went right in and they had Norman Liv- ermore seeing double a good many times. The Maroon defence was a little ragged at times thus permit - turning them aside, and was aided CLINTON JUNIORS WIN by a stonewall defence. .• In a lightning fast game of hockey e asesesse the Clinton Juniors took the Gode- fans on their toes throughout. There was a fairly large crowd, but the brand of hockey played mer- itted a larger one, and we venturer to say that the next game will bring a larger representation of fans. It is the first year that Clinton has been..in Junior hockey for some time and the buneh of boys that the man- ager and coach, "Mo" Elliott and Tommy Morgan, have gathered to- gether, are certainly no disgrace to any former junior team seen in this town, and when these boys get 'a few games . under their belt it will take a good team to beat them.

Plumes:el was in charge of the meeting. Mrs. G. Cuninghame acted as secretary in place of Mrs. Scott, who was absent. The commit- tee reports were given and adopted. The program consisted of a solo by Mrs. (Dr.) Oakes, accompanied by Mrs. Wendorf, a piano duet by Mrs. Wendorf and Miss Carol Evans. These numbers were very much ap- preciated. Mrs. N. W. Trewartha gave a very interesting paper on "Bird Life." The meeting was dos- ed with the National Anthem. LITTLE LOCALS The Huron County Council meets in Goderich on Tuesday, Jan. 23rd. Tfie W. C. T.

The "Can- adiens are all young players and they bid fair to being real hockey players in the future, and will un, doubtedly carry the colors to the other' towns, in future years. They outclassed the Senators in team play having gotten onto the idea of pas- sing the puck, and that will help them against the heavier players on the other teams. •However the game was by no means one-sided as the Senators have several good men on their team -- fast, skaters—but they did not play as good a passing game as their opponents. Owen Combe and Lorne Brown were the best men for the Senators. Combe tried time after time on his spectacular rushes and was successful on one occasion, but those Canadiens Were watching and were checking • closely. At the end of the first period the score was 1-0 for the Canadiens, and the scom was a fair indication of the play. In the second the Canadiens scored twice and the Senators once, and in the third the Canadiens scored once and Senators once, making the score 4-2 for Canadiens.
