I don’t always believe- everything

discovery reported a .few days ago.
The report is that a poultry fanner
in IllinoM has found that by expo4.
ing his chickens to ultra-violet rayk
instead of sunlight he can produce
fowls which have only white meat
when cd^ked for the table.
Xx^ If true, this will be welcome news
to the chicken-eaters who always
want “a slice off the breast, please.”
For my part, I seem to lack en

family gives me the option as what

Chet Smith scored three of. the
touchdowns after diminutive Nat
Smith had put the ball in position

GOLD—Worth Hunting
The world scarcity of gold, and
its cpnii'equent high price resulting
from the devaluation of so many of
the world’s currencies, hat been a
boon to gold miners everywhere. Ores
which didn’t pay to ’woj:k at their
old prices, now yield a handsome
profit. - -
Canada has a real gold-mining
bpom. ■ More than 126 mills are now
ei^tracting gold from Canadian ore.
Last year about nine million tons
of ore were milled, yielding ml^ut
2,600,000 ounces of gold. The first
half of this year, the gold output of
the Doriiinion was even larger.
“Gold is where* you find it.” It
pays, theee days, to hunt for gold.
At least twice as much as is now
available • is needed, to bring the
world’s finances back to normal.
Go out and JTnd yourself a gold
mine, young fellow.

The brand otf fbbtball played by the
Clinton high echoql football team
should be a source of pride for all
Clintonians. Since Coach Wilder
took over the none too promising
squad two years ago the team has
won a vast majority of their games |
and those that they have lost were
not by large scores. During the past
few years the interest of Clinton in
their teams seemed to be on the wane,
but the return to winning form has
changed the situation. Clinton had
been a doormat for Thomwfll for
fifteen straight years until Coach
Wilder and his boys came through
with a victory two years ago. This
was repeated last year. Much credit
is due Mr. Wilder for the fine work
he is doing and a good way to ref>ay
him is to give the team steady sup
port. jbe boys on this year’s squad
are small as usual but tbe^^^tave al
ready shown that they are a team to
be reckoned with. They are eagerly
awaiting tbe game with Thornwell
which promises to be a thriller. Coach
Walter Beeman has worked diligently
^o produce a winning aggregation
