Certainly the town seems to be losing much of the en- thusiasm .and n-thusiasm.and activity that won fame In 1915, 1010 and 1917. Outside of the faithful work done by the women and girls of, the Red Cross Society, there .is now scarcely any war activ- ity on an organized scale. Though Or121ia soldiers have been arriving home every week, there has not been a public reception of 'any kind for months. Young fellows' have been going off, many of them' . volunteers who have just reached military age, but no person ever wishes them 'God speed and a safe return,' on behalf of the town."—Orillia Packet. HOW THE WORK WAS DONE. The following letter was received by Mr. A. J. Grigg recently : "A. J. Grigg, Esq., Clinton, Ont. Dear Sir,—Permit me to convey to you the warmest thanks of the Or-. ganization of Resources, Committee for your voluntary work in super- vising the abstraction of information re farm labour from the registration cards in your district. Without such work on your part and on the part of the other men who undertook similar responsibility, the informa- tion contained in the registration cards would have been useless, as far as farm labour roquirementt for this year are concerned. The Com- mittee is now in a position to meet almost any demand for harvest help that may come, and we thank you heartily for helping to place us in this position. Yours faithfully, • —ALBERT H. ABBOTT, Secretary. CLINTON BOL' A WINNER. Corp. L. E. Greig, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. A.
