French, editor and proprietor of the Wetaskiwin (Alta.),. Times and son of Mrs. F. French of Clinton, was elected president of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Asso- ciation sso ciation at the annual' meeting held in Vancouver, E. C., , last week. Mr. French is an, old Clinton boy and learned the printing trade in the of- fice of our town contemporary when a stripling. lad. He , went west several years ago and for some years has been publishing a weekly paper, at Wetasitiwin, a town of about three thousand, forty-five miles south of Edmohton, He has always taken a keen interest in the Association, °whit h until the weekly and daily sections separated last year, was ]mown as the Canadian Press Assoc- iation, and he was the first vice pres- ident of the Canadian Weekly News papers' Association, Old Clinton friends will congratulate him upon the honour -bestowed upon him by his fellow journalists. THE CHAUTAUQUA, It has been said that the plain elks `of D. Lee Fitzpatrick, -sched- uled to speak at Chautauqua the af- ternoon of the third clay, are not al- tvays relished by all who hear them. He doesn't try to please anybody n particular; he just says what he thinks is right ancl• what he thinks should be said and what he thinks some folks in every town would like to say but dare not, since they must iv there, eif and folksagreewith lin, all well and good; and if folks dheuss and cuss' him, all well and good, too. But—isn't it ,good for all f us to hear plain talk at' times— mpalatablo truths that are none the ess troths because we do not like to ,ear them, expressed out loud? Few Canadians altadians have seen Rod Russia and lived to tell the story. Only one, so far as wo know, has re- cently crossed Russia, seen• what s really going on there, gotten out alive and is here in Canada' to tell about it. Hie is Lieut, W .I. Osborne - Dem s ter M. C.

If this is true, then the Clinton Chautauqua' pro- gram for this summer which opens on July 4th, will be strong and firm and stable, for it will be noted that the speakers to appear include some of the best ever brought to Ontario. The coming of a former member of of the British Parliament, Icon. Percy Alden, is an event of importance. Mr. Alden was a member of the House of Commons for thirteen years and was Royal Commissoner of x'lgricul- ture during the war. He has trav- elled widely and is exceedingly well I on affairs in all parts of the world, especially in all parts of Eur- ope. He is a speaker of note and has addressed great gatherings in all parts of the English-speaking world, having toured the .United States dur- ng -the war as a . representative of the British Government. His subject will be "The Outlook in Europe." Dr. J. Franklin 1 Babb,fon • a lead - ng ng Congergational clergyman in Boston, is scheduled for the first ad- dress of the Chautauqua, appearing he evening of the first day. For ten ears, he ,has been lecturing ir, all parts of the United Stales and Can- ada, and during -the war he spout )early 1) year in France amd the oceet- pied portions of Germany speaking to the soldiers of the British, Canadian, and American armies. His subject ere will be "The One Hundred Per Cent. Man."

The death took place at the home of her son in Cleveland, Ohio, on i'riday, of Mits. D. B. Deering of Winnipeg, whose maiden mune was Mary M. Tewsley The deceased was a daughter of the late Henry Tewsley and spent her girlhood in Clintonand was mar- ried hero to • the late Robert Fox. They left here many years ago and Mr. Fox died in Kansas. Later she retruned to Winnipeg and about fif- teen years ago was married to. Mr. Deering. Mr. and Mrs. Deering visited Clin- ton last fall on their way to Cali- fornia, where they went for the winter and Mrs. Deering had returned as far as Cleveland where she was vis - ting her son, when he was stricken with paralysis on Monday of last week and never regained conscious- ness until she passed away on Friday. The remains were brought to Clin-' ton, her girlhood ,,hence, for burial, being accompanied by her son and. daughter, the latter of whom had gone to Cleveland on hearing of her mother's'll illness. Mr. Deering also arrived from Winnipeg on Saturday evening. • Two sons, Fred Fox of Los Angel- es, Cal., and Neil Fox of Cleveland, and one daughter, Mrs. L. A. Miller of Winnipeg, survive. Mrs. Robert Fitzsimons of Clinton is a sister and the only surviving member of the family. The funeral took place from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fitzsimons on Tuesday afternoon. The services at house and ,graveside were conducted by the Rev. D. N. Mc0amus and .the pallbearers were: Messrs. W. D. Fair, J. Wiseman. H. B. Chant, E. Munroe and Bert and Harry Fitzsimons. Mrs. Fitzsimons and Mr. Deering and family wish to express their thanks to those who so kindly ren- dered help and expressed sympathy in their time of sudden bereavement. IN THE REALM OF SPORT. On Friday afternoon the junior baseball team .form Exeter defeated Clinton in the score of 0-6. It was a good game from start to finish. In the first inning the locals rather "went up in the air" and before they settled down the visitors had scored four runs. The visitors were heavy hitters and nothing, apparently, could stop them. When the two teams meet again we hope for a better result for Clinton. In the last in ttng Clinton lostn 00 of their star players in, the person of Mr. P. Livermore, Who broke his arm. While sliding into the home plate the Exeter catcher blacked him and he overbalanced and fell on his arm. It was a painful injury and a great loss to the Juniors, as he - will be out of the game for the rest of the season. On Tuesday evening the much - talked -about Goderich team met and defeated the local seniors in the score of 6-4. Tho local team on this occasion. was composed of juniors and seniors, owing to the fact, that 50)110 of the senior players were at the military camp. The visitors liad a former Clinton player in the box in the person of Mr. Earl Cooper. The locals started rather badly and had just begun to bit their stride at the ,end of the 'gatpe. Alex, Butler pitched excellent ball. The same was also featured br some brilliant Playing by the juniors, who were in the line-up. Following is the line-up of the 'Clinton team: T.

Wilfred Seeley was thrown from his motor cycle yesterday evening when a dog ran out in front of frim es he rode 'down Huron street past Berry & Cameron's No very serious damage was done but his elbows, shins, and knees were rather badly scraped on the hard macadam. The dog was somewhat injured, too. It might have been a more serious ac- cident. THURSDAY IS BAND NIGHT. Owing to the fact that some cit- izens objected 'to having the weekly band c onconcerti Friday a evening, g, it has been decided to go back to Thurs- day. It played out last Thurs- day evening and will continue to do so during the summer. Possibly a change will be made the week of Dominion Day, when it may play on Wednesday evening.

The meeting was under the direction of the two missionary committees, Mrs. Shob- brook andMiss M ss Dais Nediger being Y g the conveners. Miss Freida Wallis, president of the Wesley society, in a few well-chosen words welcomed the union Leaguers and expressed the hope that their sununee's work to- gether would be productive of bless- ingand profit tall. o The Rev. 18, Anderson then introduced the Rev. Floyd Sullivan, a missionary of the M. E. church of Michigan to Singa- pore, who is home on furlough, and who gave a most interesting address on the work of the missionaries amongst the people of the Malay Peninsula andthe islands u eof h Pa- dee.Mr. Sullivan is a young man who is ranch nch in. love with his s work andhis address was full of int1n s rami, and had much encouragement for those who have • at. heart the spreading of the Christian faith throughout the world, The young neo le and also many of the olderer ones who took the opportunity of be- ing present, listened to him with great pleasure, A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Rev. Mr. McCamus and seconded by Rev. Me. Anderson, was teraleredi lie the speaker at the eonellas;0n of ,his address. During the evening Miss Lunt Crich played ed a pretty -piasolo and Mrs, W.

Like "a shock of corn, fully rine" !past couple of years, he has been and ready fon the reaper was 'John ' going about as usual, attending to Shaw, Huron Conuty's oldest mem- many 8111011 daily duties, and iitaif ber of the teaching profession, whose tine- always found him at the post span of life ran out on Monday night. Mr. Shaw was a Highlander, being a native of the Island of Jura, Ar- gyleshire, Scotland, where he was born eight -four years ago. His fath- er brought his family to this side of the Atlantic when John was trine and the fancily settled iu the State rf. North Carolina, where they took up fattening. At the age of sixteen the subject of this sketch began lila car- eer as a school' teacher, qualifying for his certificate before a board of examiners, and later took a course at the'Faldville Academy. His father died soon after this and the widowed mother, having relatives in this country, brought her family hither and -they settled in Hullett township and it was in Hur- on county that most of My. Shaw's professional career was spent. He taught at Walton, at Brussels, where he wdteeprineipal of the Public school for twenty years, at Teeswater and at:Coiliagwood. At. Walton and oth- ett'schools where he had entire ebar„e he would have as 'many as seventy to one -hundred and twenty scholars during the winter term, many of thein older than himself. Many of the men and women still resident of Huron conuty are old pupils of John Shaw as well as many who are out in the big world, many of them in the professions. For some years he has been resting from his labours at the residence of his son, Dr. J. W. Shaw of Clinton. His death was unexpected for, while he has been failing for the office waiting for the daily papers, The clay before his death he took his usual walk to the postoffice, and did some garhening, Complaining of fieel- ing• unwell in the late afternoon he came into the house and in spite of all that could' be done for him he passed away a few hours later. Besides Dr. Shaw of town there is one sen, Mr. Colin Shaw of Spring- field, Ohio, and three daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) Marrs of Lethbridge, Al- berta, Miss Shaw of Winnipeg and Mrs. Muir of Toronto. He is also survived by one brother, and one sister, Dr. Shaw and Mrs. Stanley of Morris, Mich. The funeral took place from the residence of Dr. Shaw yesterday,af- ternoon, when old friends gathered from the town and vicinity and frons. Brussels and elsewhere to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they had known and esteemed in life. The funeral' services were tak- en by the Rev. 3. E. Hogg. Mr.' Colin Shaw and Mrs. Muir were here for the funeral. Interment was made in Clinton cem- etery and there was laid away one who had had much to do with form- ing the characters of many of the • »len and- women now resident in this good county of Huron. A few years ago when writing a little sketch of Mr. Shaw's life we said, and we can now clo no better than repeat: "To such men as he this Canada of ours owes a• mighty debt—a debt which those coming after cannot better re. pay than by living worthily them- selves.” The " Hurons" are Working Hard and Enjoying Camp Life Once again the notes of the bugle, the smell of the trampled grass, the gleaming tents --once again in Camp. The first day showed that many were strangers to the uniforms and the Webb equipment, surely a China- man must have invented it. How- ever, if the officers smiled the "rook- ies" had their turn. A day arrived. when the officers had to show their powers in equitation. No doubt part of the exhibition was due to the red tape methods of the Army. Regula- tions are very precise. They insist that the left foot of the rider should be placed in the stirrup, which hangs on the left side of the horse. This' makes for uniformity and pleases the public, who likes to see things clone' in a soldier -like manner. Still these officers are the bravedefenders of out country and we tvill not tell all we know. The "Oxford" ears are doing a roaring business. Springbank looks as if. another 'war was on. One of the boys remarked that he girls there diel not seem to be anxious to dance with the soldiers. The boys from Clinton should not worry. They haver at home what would put Springbank or any other place in the shade. • The most marked feature of the camp is the conduct of the instruc- tors, who are suppled -from the R. C. R. 01d memories being before us a tough, h - r i1 1 i t , haul 1 of eel old soldier, yel- 11115 and shouting at the men. These men are a startling contrast. No bullying, but patient instruction. To those who think the old way the only orthodox method let us remind then) that these men are getting -the re- sults. This is one lesson of the war. Our 0. C., Lt, -Col. Combe, disap- peared soon after the opening of the camp, Curious tales of motor acci- dents filtered through. We wand- ered whether to send an escort after him or not. But he turned up smil- ing and once agentam we learned that we cannot believe everything we hear in the Army.

Mr. and Mrs. Deering visited Clin- ton last fall on their way to Cali- fornia, where they went for the winter and Mrs. Deering had returned as far as Cleveland where she was vis - ting her son, when he was stricken with paralysis on Monday of last week and never regained conscious- ness until she passed away on Friday.

On Friday afternoon the junior baseball team .form Exeter defeated Clinton in the score of 0-6. It was a good game from start to finish. In the first inning the locals rather "went up in the air" and before they settled down the visitors had scored four runs. The visitors were heavy hitters and nothing, apparently, could stop them. When the two teams meet again we hope for a better result for Clinton. In the last in ttng Clinton lostn 00 of their star players in, the person of Mr. P. Livermore, Who broke his arm. While sliding into the home plate the Exeter catcher blacked him and he overbalanced and fell on his arm. It was a painful injury and a great loss to the Juniors, as he - will be out of the game for the rest of the season. On Tuesday evening the much - talked -about Goderich team met and defeated the local seniors in the score of 6-4. Tho local team on this occasion. was composed of juniors and seniors, owing to the fact, that 50)110 of the senior players were at the military camp. The visitors liad a former Clinton player in the box in the person of Mr. Earl Cooper. The locals started rather badly and had just begun to bit their stride at the ,end of the 'gatpe. Alex, Butler pitched excellent ball. The same was also featured br some brilliant Playing by the juniors, who were in the line-up. Following is the line-up of the 'Clinton team: T.

The meeting was under the direction of the two missionary committees, Mrs. Shob- brook andMiss M ss Dais Nediger being Y g the conveners. Miss Freida Wallis, president of the Wesley society, in a few well-chosen words welcomed the union Leaguers and expressed the hope that their sununee's work to- gether would be productive of bless- ingand profit tall. o The Rev. 18, Anderson then introduced the Rev. Floyd Sullivan, a missionary of the M. E. church of Michigan to Singa- pore, who is home on furlough, and who gave a most interesting address on the work of the missionaries amongst the people of the Malay Peninsula andthe islands u eof h Pa- dee.Mr. Sullivan is a young man who is ranch nch in. love with his s work andhis address was full of int1n s rami, and had much encouragement for those who have • at. heart the spreading of the Christian faith throughout the world, The young neo le and also many of the olderer ones who took the opportunity of be- ing present, listened to him with great pleasure, A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Rev. Mr. McCamus and seconded by Rev. Me. Anderson, was teraleredi lie the speaker at the eonellas;0n of ,his address. During the evening Miss Lunt Crich played ed a pretty -piasolo and Mrs, W.

Like "a shock of corn, fully rine" !past couple of years, he has been and ready fon the reaper was 'John ' going about as usual, attending to Shaw, Huron Conuty's oldest mem- many 8111011 daily duties, and iitaif ber of the teaching profession, whose tine- always found him at the post span of life ran out on Monday night. Mr. Shaw was a Highlander, being a native of the Island of Jura, Ar- gyleshire, Scotland, where he was born eight -four years ago. His fath- er brought his family to this side of the Atlantic when John was trine and the fancily settled iu the State rf. North Carolina, where they took up fattening. At the age of sixteen the subject of this sketch began lila car- eer as a school' teacher, qualifying for his certificate before a board of examiners, and later took a course at the'Faldville Academy. His father died soon after this and the widowed mother, having relatives in this country, brought her family hither and -they settled in Hullett township and it was in Hur- on county that most of My. Shaw's professional career was spent. He taught at Walton, at Brussels, where he wdteeprineipal of the Public school for twenty years, at Teeswater and at:Coiliagwood. At. Walton and oth- ett'schools where he had entire ebar„e he would have as 'many as seventy to one -hundred and twenty scholars during the winter term, many of thein older than himself. Many of the men and women still resident of Huron conuty are old pupils of John Shaw as well as many who are out in the big world, many of them in the professions. For some years he has been resting from his labours at the residence of his son, Dr. J. W. Shaw of Clinton. His death was unexpected for, while he has been failing for the office waiting for the daily papers, The clay before his death he took his usual walk to the postoffice, and did some garhening, Complaining of fieel- ing• unwell in the late afternoon he came into the house and in spite of all that could' be done for him he passed away a few hours later. Besides Dr. Shaw of town there is one sen, Mr. Colin Shaw of Spring- field, Ohio, and three daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) Marrs of Lethbridge, Al- berta, Miss Shaw of Winnipeg and Mrs. Muir of Toronto. He is also survived by one brother, and one sister, Dr. Shaw and Mrs. Stanley of Morris, Mich. The funeral took place from the residence of Dr. Shaw yesterday,af- ternoon, when old friends gathered from the town and vicinity and frons. Brussels and elsewhere to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they had known and esteemed in life. The funeral' services were tak- en by the Rev. 3. E. Hogg. Mr.' Colin Shaw and Mrs. Muir were here for the funeral. Interment was made in Clinton cem- etery and there was laid away one who had had much to do with form- ing the characters of many of the • »len and- women now resident in this good county of Huron. A few years ago when writing a little sketch of Mr. Shaw's life we said, and we can now clo no better than repeat: "To such men as he this Canada of ours owes a• mighty debt—a debt which those coming after cannot better re. pay than by living worthily them- selves.” The " Hurons" are Working Hard and Enjoying Camp Life Once again the notes of the bugle, the smell of the trampled grass, the gleaming tents --once again in Camp. The first day showed that many were strangers to the uniforms and the Webb equipment, surely a China- man must have invented it. How- ever, if the officers smiled the "rook- ies" had their turn. A day arrived. when the officers had to show their powers in equitation. No doubt part of the exhibition was due to the red tape methods of the Army. Regula- tions are very precise. They insist that the left foot of the rider should be placed in the stirrup, which hangs on the left side of the horse. This' makes for uniformity and pleases the public, who likes to see things clone' in a soldier -like manner. Still these officers are the bravedefenders of out country and we tvill not tell all we know. The "Oxford" ears are doing a roaring business. Springbank looks as if. another 'war was on. One of the boys remarked that he girls there diel not seem to be anxious to dance with the soldiers. The boys from Clinton should not worry. They haver at home what would put Springbank or any other place in the shade. • The most marked feature of the camp is the conduct of the instruc- tors, who are suppled -from the R. C. R. 01d memories being before us a tough, h - r i1 1 i t , haul 1 of eel old soldier, yel- 11115 and shouting at the men. These men are a startling contrast. No bullying, but patient instruction. To those who think the old way the only orthodox method let us remind then) that these men are getting -the re- sults. This is one lesson of the war. Our 0. C., Lt, -Col. Combe, disap- peared soon after the opening of the camp, Curious tales of motor acci- dents filtered through. We wand- ered whether to send an escort after him or not. But he turned up smil- ing and once agentam we learned that we cannot believe everything we hear in the Army.
