CLINTON OLD BOY

MAKES, GREAT DISCOVERY
Prof. McLennan's Genius Has
Made Airship Travel Perfectly
' Safe—llelitun Gas Made at 20c
a Cubic Foot—Also Perfected
Instrument to Enable Observer
to See Through Dense Fog.
The Toronto Star Weekly recently
gave the' following interesting article
upon the discoveries of Pro. McLennan,
who was a resident of this town when a
small boy, prior to his parents moving
to Stratford
Toronto is the greatest aviation cen-
tre in America, and one of the greatest
, in the world. From this city and its
• surrounding towns have come many
of the greatest fliers in the world,
. Now that the veil of secrecy that fell
during the war is lifted,. Toronto can
lay, further claim to her leading
• position among the cities of the
world in the natter of the new
sciences of the air, For a Toronto
loan, Professor J. C. McLennan, of
the staff of the University of Toronto
and past president of the Royal Canad-
ian Institute, is the prefector of helium
the wonderful new gas for airships.
Working in great secrecy at the British
Admiralty since 1915, with a staff of
thirty other young 'Canadian scientists
under him, Professor McLennan has led
the world's scientists, At lwbrking
under war pressure, in the develop-
ment of helium for the purposes of
aviation, :and has won a distinction a-
mong the scientists of Britain sec-
ond to no other.
For the available information On
the subject, one is indebted to Mr,
J. Murray Clark, president of the
Royal Canadian. institute, wh„ has
kept in touch with Prof. McLennan
throughout the war,
Shortly nater the outbreak of war,
when it appeared that aviation was
to assume a great role, it was dis-
covered that it helium were avail -
!de in tusfieient quantities to re-
place hydrogain, in naval and military
' airships, there would not only be an
enormous saving in life and material,
but also a tremendous addition to the
I efficiency of aircraft.
Helium, an element discovered
. only a few years ago by Sir William
Ramsay, the eminent British scien-
tist exists only in minute propor-
tions in certain radium -bearing caring min-
erals and gases, and at about 1 to 2
percent. in natural gases. Before
the war it cost frost $1,500 to 6,000
per cubic foot.
It is 10 per cent. less bouyant than
hydrogen. But is is lou-intlun-

ATTENDED SERVICE IN
ONTARIO ST. CHURCH
Over 60 Members of L O. O. F.
Commemorate Hundredth An-
niversary:
Sunday morning over 60 members
of the Independent. Order of Odd-
fellows attended Divine Service 'in Ont-
ario Street Church and to-commeluor-
ate the hundredth ans iv'ersary of the
Order in America. Many visitors we're.
present from Brucefield Lodge,
The service• was bright and cheerful
and the message delivered by Bro, Rev:
J. A, Agnew, was most appropriate to
the members of the Order.
The choir rendered "To Thee 0 God
1 We Fly" in good style, and while the
offering was -being taken the male
quartette composed of Messrs, 9.
Pttiussteel, B. J, Glbbiugs, F. Thousyson
tnd L,- Weir, sng ''Jesus Lives".
I Rev, Mr, Agnew read the first four-
teen verses of the 15111 clsapteer• of St.
' John for the lesson and took the 13th
verse as his text "Greater Love Hatt)
No man than this, that a man lay down
his life for Isis friends," and took
"Friendship" as his subject.
' ' In his opening remarks the minister
stated that is was a personal pleasure
to have the privilege to welcome the
order to this place of worship, and also
appreciated the privilege in being a
member of the Order. One hundred
years of Oddfellowship was reached
yesterday in America, when on April
26th 1819 at Baltimore, the independ-
ent Order of Oddfellows had its birth,
'('Ise amts of your noble Order are
worthy of a man's best efforts. It's
commands are (1) 'fo visit the sick;
(2) Relieve the distressed; (3) bury
the dead; (4) educate and care for the
orphan. It's sole object is to do gond
and it seeks to make man God -like in
character, which is a big job and a
worthy one. 1)ddfellowship conforms
to law, religion and sound morality. A
good Oddfellow is an honest rota: A
wise man has said "1 hay: been young
and now ant old, ) et 1 have not seen
the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bra.td,'•
Friendship is indispensable, we must
have friends. Dr. Hillis says that:
"Destiny is det, trained by friendship
fortune is made or marred when a
youth neglects Isis companions." Itis -
tory both 1acred and profane is full of
example of the. effect of friendship uu
character. No Hurn liveth unto himself,
no one goes to hell alone or to heaven.
'Charles Kingsley, when asked the
question ''What is the secret of your
life, replied "1 had a friend," This is
the secret of great and successful lives.
Alasv a man would have lain down dis-
heartened hong before he. reached his
goal but fur the stimulus and encour-
agement of some friend whose name
the world has never heard, Our chief
want in life • s:,y;°-Emerson, is somebody
who shall make us do what we can.
This is the service of a friend _"1
am not worthy of being ;a friend if I do
not inspire to greater things. A young
man asked John D. Rockfellow, the
secret of success and ire replied (1)
have a purpose in life; (2) Be careful
in selecting your friends," Cicero
says:—"They seem to take away the
sun from the world who withdraws
friendship from life, for we have' re-
ceived nothing better from the im-
mortal gods, nothing more delightful"'
A True Friend is always accessable.
You will never find "no admission"
written upon Isis door; for you at least
his latch string Is always out, his heart
and home om
e is always open.
• A True Friend is sympathic. Your
sorrow stakes him sad, and the world
today is hungering for sympathy and
love. Never forget God's Eternal pity
and cultivate tolerance,
A True Friend will make sacrifices
on your behalf, and here Bro. Agnew
quoted various passages of Scripture
• showing the various ways of being a
true friend to those around,
Friendship is no onesided affair, but
an exchange of soul qualities. There
can be no friendship without recipro-
city. One cannot receive all and give
nothing, or give all and receive noth-
ing, and expect to experience the joy
and fullness of true friendship,
Those who would make friends must
cultivate the qualities which are ad-
mired and which attract. If you are
mean, sthsgy and selfish, nobody will
admire' you. You must cultivate gen-
erosity and large heartedness, you must
have positive qualities. A negative,
apologizing round about nian is dlspised
You must cultivate courage for a co-
ward has few friends. You must' be-
lieve in yourself, if you do not, others
will not believe in you. Be optimistic,
no person will be attracted to a gloomy
pessimist
Perhaps the most conspicuous ele-
ment of all is the constancy of a true
friend for he remains rise same no
matter stow the wind blows.
Your best friend is Jestts, for he is
the saute yesterday, to -day and for-
t ever, and he says "I will in 00 wisefail
thee, nor will I in anywise forsake
thee,"
iUpon returning to the Lodge -roost,
n hearty vote of thanks was tendered
1 to the minister, the church officials and
choir, and also to • the visiting Odd -
Wows.
