MANY IIAPPY RETURNS. • Mr. H. B. Chant on Tuesday pass- ed his Sixtieth birthday and on that evening was surprised at the meeting' of !the local I,0,0,F. by the presenta- tion of a, pair of gold cuff links. It ii - not only among his .fellow -lodge members, however, that Mr. 'Chant is popular. He's a good citizen and' has hosts of friends throughout the town and district, , KEEP OFF THE SIDEWALKS. The habit of riding bicycles on•the sidewalks is one that has been grow- ing in Clinton and while there is .a bylaw forbidding it nobody has in- sisted upon its strict enforcement. Chief Fitzsimons; however, informs Tho.News-Record• that he is going to enforce the bylaw and warns bicycle riders to keep off the walks. What with automobiles, bicycles, motor- cycles and other vehicles on the streets people find it hard enough to escape being run down while on the crossings and they should be safe from such danger on the walks. Ped- estrians are entitled by law to the right of way but usually when some- thing on wheels makes straignt for one it is considered the better plan to get out of the way. There should be no question with regard to the right of pedestrians on the side walks. AMONG THE CHURCIIES. The usual services will be held on Sunday morning in Ontario street and Wesley churches and in the even- ing a union service will be held in Wesley church: ' Tho congregations, are urged to attend.

Ss AM., of which he is piaster, at a recent large- ly attended ,gathering of the craft in that city.

RYE. .The funeral took place in Clinton last Saturday morning, on the ar- rival of the Toronto train, of Miss Myra Rye, daughter of the late Joseph Rye of the Huron Road, west. Miss Rye had been ailing since ear- ly in January and her death was not unexpected. Although it is a good many years since the faintly left this locality Miss Rye had never lost in- terest in hjr childhood's home and had kept up a constant intercourse with old friends here. Two sisters, Misses Mary and Car- rie, of Toronto, accompanied the re- mains to Clinton. Another sister, Mrs, Grummett, resides in Edmon- ton, and there are several brothers. Mr. Johnr+'IMTlntyre of Lucknow and Mr, H. Hertel' of Toronto, cousins of the deceased, were also here for the funeral, . The remains were laid beside those of her parents in Clinton cemetery, the Rev. S. E. Mc1iegney conducting the service, Sympathy is felt for the relatives and friends. In many of the towns official lists for historical purposes are being made of those who have served the country as soldiers. 1f this is not done by municipalities it will not be done at all and it is something which should not lie neglected. Clinton Inas no official list of the oxen who went from this municipality. The town has not even a list of those who fell. Something should be clone about it and should be taken up without de- lay. The News -Record made the sug- gestion souse time ago that a suit- able tablet, bearing the names of ev- ery man who served be placed in the town hall. We still think this should be done. 11 would prove of interest to coming generations and is a recog- nition due to the Wren who tints served. The town council will have to take the matter up as there sloes not seem to he any other organiza- tion to do so and we feel surd such a tnove would be a popular one, ALL READY FOR SUMMER.
