cles.
It was a worthy parade and re-
flects credit upon those having it in
(rand.
The navy float was particularly
good and the tradesmen's floats were
well gotten up. The farm tractor,
driven by a member of the Auxiliary
and the farnerettes in their natty.
costumes, came in. for much atten-
tion. John Bull and Uncle Sant were
the only calithumpians in the par-
ade but they were so good that they
made up for their small number.
Uncle Sam was a particularly typi-
cal character from the crown of his
tall hat to the point of bis shoes,
goatee, jaunty smile and all,
During the afternoon there were

cere thanks,' One member asserts
that Mr. Percy Conch worked so
hard assisting in decorating ears

WAS FORMEER. CLINTON BODY.
Mrs, James Twi'tcbell of Windsor,
formorly of Clinton, was informed
the other day' that her •youngest
son, Wit, hail been wounded in the
nbolc on August 15th. Young Twit-
°hell went overseas with an Edmon-

been in Prance since January,
WOMEN'S ANNUAL MEEETING.
The Huron County Red Cross and
Canadian War Contingent Associa-
tion held their annual meeting in
Wesley church; (ili.1ton, on Friday
last,
The meeting was well attended,
representatives being present from
almost every branch" of the Rod
Cross and patriotic society in the
county.
The morning session was entirely
taken up with the hearing of reports
and the transaction of business. The
reports were very encouraging the
work having grown wonderfully dur-
ing the past year. One hears, per-
haps, less of the work than former-
ly, the reason being probably that
thewomen have become mere ac-
customed to it, but some idea of the
growth of the work will be realized
when it is stated that in 1917 33,000
articles were made while in 1918. 01,-
000 articles were turned out by the
industrious fingers of the I-Iuron
county women, their work being thus
almost doubled.
The reports from the different
shipping centres were most encourag-
ing, showing not only an increase in
the quantity of the work but a most
gratifying advance in the quality as
well.
A returned prisoner from Germany
was expected to address the ladies
in the .afternoon but at the last min-
ute word -was received that he could
not come. The Executive telephoned
London and just as the business was
finished in the afternoon Mrs. Som-
erville and Mrs. Edwards of London
arrived, having motored up as soon
as word was received that no speak-
er had arrived.
On being called upon Mrs. Somer-
ville said it gave her great pleasure
to address the annual meeting of the
IIuron County lied Cross and (1. W.
C. A. She. spoke of the organization
meeting held two years ago and con-
gratulated the women very heartily
on the progress made during these
two years. She said the shipments
from Huron county were always
most welcome at Hyman Hall as
they were so ample, always came in
such good order and were so little
trouble to the packers. She spoke of
the increase in the work, stating
that the shipments from Hyman Hall
in March last exceeded those of the
whole. previous year. She said the
work had grown in the west also and
splendid shipments were being sent
from each province in the west, She
also urged no abatement of the wori;
as -the need was a growing one and
urged the giving of money so that
sweets, writing material and other
necessary things could be sent the
boys in the trenches.
Manitoba is undertaking to supply
each Canadian soldier with a Christ-
mas pudding this year,
Mrs. Somerville also spoke for the
'sailors and urged that assistance
should be given for this worthy fund.
Mrs. Edwards represented the Red
Cross and she spoke of the need of
the wounded Wren and war prison
ers. She said Christmas stockings
would he sent again this .year, that
work was being taken up immediately
so as to get then off in good time.
Money is to be given this year and
all stockings made and filled at
London, to ensure a greater uniform-
ity.
In answer to a question as to , the
division of the supplies,' Mrs. Ed-
wards explained ' that all` hospital
supplies went to the Red Cross, also
all jam, fruit, etc., and that one
quarter of the socks went t to the
Red Cross, three -quarters to the
C.W.C.A,, also all day shirts, sweat-
ers, etc.
The old question of the soldiers
having to buy the supplies coming
up both speakers affirmed that noth-
ing sent through either the iced
Cross or the C.W.C.A. was ever sold
to a soldier, These were gifts .From
the women of Canada to the boys
who were defending the' homes of
Canada and were not to be bought.
Mrs. Somerville said that some so-
cieties did sell supplies and some
misunderstandings might have cone
that way as a man could not al-
ways tell how lits socks Were sup-
Plied but that neither the Red Cross
nor the C.W.C,A, sold their supplies
or gave them to other societies to
sell.
The election of o0loers resulted in
the return of the old staff, namely :

ly members of the 101st Huron Bat-
talion with the exception of N.

the past few weeks and there have
been many casualties among them.
We trust that those who have been,
wounded will stake good recovery.
