WEDDING ANNIVERSARY FITTINGLY OBSERVED Mr. and Mrs. Oliver McCaslin of town celebrated the fifteenth an- niversary of their wedding day last.

Mr. and Mrs. McCaslin re- ceived many mementoes of their. marriage day from numerous: friends and the evening was most pleasantly spent. M I '3' [CI PAL EX PENDITURES Thursday, February 9, 1928 DUNNNN TENN IS 7 om 0F RUNNING Defeated by Palmerston Last Prlday Night, Local Hockeyists Are Now Out of Both 0. B. A. and Northern Leagues. - Palmerston came to town last Friday evening and, in an O. H. A. league game, defeated the locals 7 to 3. thereby puttingthem out of the running for. district honors in the big organization. As the locals had prevmusly been disposed of by Walkerton for group honors in the Northern, hoc ey for this season is proabbly a thing of the past in this town. The contest last Friday, though, was a good game, but the locals could not get going fast enough to hold back the invaders of the south and that is about a1 there 18 to tell about it. .‘ v‘l--\. v-- .--_1 With goaler McDonald in bed with quinsy, his place was taken in the nets by Earl McKechnie, a lad of fifteen years, and while McEach- nie covered himself with glory on many of the shots he did save. it was .not expected that in his first game in senior company he would be able to display the expertness that is gained only by experience. Hwis a comer. though, and in an- other year or two will make any of them step to hold a position in front of the nets with the Durham team. McDonald’s illness dated back previous to the game at Palmer- ston. where he went in the nets with a raging headache, a high fever and a sore throat. and now that all this is known it is hard to see why the Palmerstonians did not win at home by ‘even a greater mar- \V-. â€"â€"v"â€" Their, ranks weakened by illness and injuries, it was not expected by those in “the know” of local condi- tions that the Durhams could With- stand the attack of the Palmerston team, but at that the visitors had to extend themselves: gin than ’. to 1., Archie Clements on the defence. too. had to take things easy. the result of an accident. received in one of the games with Walkerton. The crowd noted that he was not playing up to his usual form. but were unaware that the veteran de- fence man had more bandages on him than a man with a handshak- ing experience with a circular saw. But. with only enough for a team. it. was impossible to replace him. and fit. or not. he had to get. out on the ice and do what he could. First Period Was Past Despite the casualties. the Dur- hams held the visitors out in the itirst [)tfl‘lOd with only one score. Stickney getting the counter after ten minutes of play. This was the only counter of the period. thOL gh ’the Durham t'Orwards got in close on ditl‘erent occasions but were un- «able to beat Kells. In the second session the Visitors got. three and the Durhams one. the latter being scored by Wilson who shot from the blue line through the Palmerston defence. which flipped in behind Kells hefcjire he knew the. rubber had been shot. In the third period, the \‘lSliOI’S collected a trio of scores while the Durhams bulged he twine twice. the final score being There is little need of alibis in the loss of a hockey game. The better team usually wins. and there is little question that the Palmer- stonians were the better team last Friday. but we surely would have liked to have seen these two teams in action at full strength. Palmer- ston claim that. their team was weakened by the absence of \‘igar from the ¢_let'ence. but. judging from the game at the railroad town a week ago. we can‘t see it. that way. In our opinion the defence that played here last Friday was tighter and harder to get around than at Palmerston. and the big fellow on the "almersttm tlt’ft‘IlL‘C with the «lliartie Chaplin mustache surely blocked some good plays and made Dome very etl’ectiye rushes, ‘ s-â€"‘_ ""' . _ -‘ (111 leaining ot' the handicap of the D111hams working under a iun- i111 g11ale1. the 1isitors let loose at 111111 opportunih for a tr1' 011 goal and it again. 11111111111 the old saying that it‘ 1011 keep shooting: often enough some of them are 110111111 to 1.111 in.

Stickney of the Palmerston defence went through twice and picked up his own rebound. and in neither case should he have been allowed to have done so. He wouldn‘t. have, either. had the Durhams been play- in}.1 under favorable conditions. Third Session Strennous The final period was the most strenuous of the three. with the lo- cals trying to score. and the Palâ€" merstonians on the defence. In1 centre ice during the whole of the game the locals had their share or the puck. but. in the last stanza had the Palmerstonians bottled up in their end the greater part of the time. It was in this session that the prettiest goal of the night. was stored when Elvidge and Buschlen went down in a combined effort, fooled the visiting defence and 'Kells had no chance whatever to save.- Palmerston‘s three goals this period were scored from near the blue line. the first whizzing through the defence 'after 15 minutes of play and bulging the twine before McEachnie knew it was coming. The second goal. two minutes later, was also shot from away out. and the third. fired from right. wing, struck Clements and glanced ofi‘ his arm to beat McKechnie. who had no chance 0 save. . ‘ The game “as in charge of Stexe \‘air. of Toronto no“ coaching the Walkerton team. and there was no fault to be found with his rulincs. which were eminentlx fair and not too strick to allow some good hock- ey to be planed. Of. the five penal- ties imposed for minor infractions, This was the deciding game of the district and Palmerston will in all likelihood be stacked up against. Walkerton. Just how this contest will end we hate to predict. Both teams, judging from the games we have witnessed. should have about an even show, with Palmerston slight favorites. During the past two weeks the Walkerton team. judging by their recent perform- ance at Paisley. has improved con- siderably. and this would seem to swing the odds over to the Bruce County team. The dates of these games have not yet been set at the time this was written. ‘ Dufham collected three. i The line-up for the Palmerston- Durhoam game here follows: Palmerston (7)â€"Goal, Kells; de- fence, Stickney and Murcar; centre, McDonald; wings.

May Reorganize Band The Council were of one Opinion in the matter of the town band. It should be reorganized, but how to go about it was another matter. It was finally decided that the town instruments. owned and paid for by the town. should be either called in or located, and further negotiations entered into to get the band started again. The job of locating the in- struments was turned over to the property committee. who had on the table a list of the instruments and Treasurer Ramage apeared before the Coumil as a delegation of one asking for an increase in salarx as treasurer. Heretofore he has been paid 01111 $150 per annum _for the xx ork. Other toxxns of like size pav considerably more. and in addition the treasurer had 11 thing to do xxith the collection 1' taxes.

It is quite likely that the Council will issue debentures to the extent of some 36.000 to pay for the work that will have to be done around town next summer. as well as take. care of some of the improvements on the town hall. The retaining wall of Lambton street will have tel be looked after this summer. as well as the sidewalk to the hospital in upper town, and it was further thought that something further would have to be done with the town hall itself. Bricking the out- side was thought out of the ques- ‘ition. and the use of stucco. costing about half the amount of brick. was advised. Besides the reduction in price. the stucco was said to be warmer and would have as good an appearance as the most expensive brick. thé names 1' the bandsmen who held them.
