ANNUAL MEETING OF 1.1.W.C.A.
The 31111113i meeting of the H.W.C.A.
WAS held in Wesley Church on Labor
Day, Despite the act that the•Anglican
Deanery Convention was in session,
and St. Joseph's picnic ill progress, a
goodly number attetted, including re-
presentatives from the variouspatriotic
organizations Of Huron County.
The 1110rffing session opened at It
a111. with the President, Mrs, Hamilton
in the. chair. The minutes of the for-
mer meeting also the minutes of the
three executive 'meeting's were re.ad.
and discussed. These showed that the
officers of the H.W.C,A, have not been
idle during the year. . Almost all of
the societies are working under this
Association,. seven shipping and cen-
soring centres having been chosen,
namely, Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth,
Wingham, Exeter Blyth, and Brhssels..,
Some time ago the County Council
voted the organization a grant. of ,S1 00
per year during the war, which amount
enables them to meet the expenses in-
curred. It is clue to the efforts of the
that Huron County now has
two wards in Byron Sanitarium. They
set out to obtain $500 to lit out one
ward, the people responded, loyally
with Stu over $1.000, and thus two
cots were furnished.
The Corresponding -Secretary, Mrs,
Fitten presented her report, after
which the meeting adjourned for lunch.
Afternoon Meeting.
At two p. m. the delegates assembled
again, PrIrs. Hamilton of Goderich was
appointed delegate to attend annual
meeting of C,.W.C.A. at Hyman Hall.
The speaker of the day Miss Robin-
son, Corresponding -Secretary of the
Elgin Co. W.C.A., then took her place
and gave a most interesting address on
ways and means of carrying on the
work. Miss Robinson explained tirst
the origin of the Association—whose
head is High Commissioner in London
England—the different purposes of
war contingent work and Red Cross
work, the forme -r working entirely for
Held comforts, the latter for hospital
supplies.
"Put notes in your sox" and don't
stop knitting if you don't receive an
:Inswer. These notes add interest—
but as far as answers Inc concerned
the receivers may have been killed,
wounded or in some .,vay unable to
write. Al4ss It,,bilison spoke very in-
terestingly of the work done in Elgin
for prisoners in Germany. For those
in tit,t1I'1 ,as to whether these parcels
are received. Miss Robinson told ot 0
parcel sent last Christmas to a Univer-
sity student then a prisoner. When
the parcel reached Germany, 00 ex-
chanite ,,1 prisoners had been made and
this young student had been sent to
Switzerland. Last week Miss Robinson
received word that the parcel had been
received in good condition.

ing year are:—

ich;
President—Mrs, W D. Fair, Clinton
Corr.-Sec.—Airs. Fitton, Exeter:
Secretary—Miss Consitt, 115118011
Treasurer—Miss Brown, Seaforth.

The Treasurer's report gave an ac-
count of the money handled by the
Societies. Clinton Girl's Auxiliary
showed 0 credit of 5124 5.3 5; Clinton
Women's. Patriotic $1 21 7.11).
The meeting adjourned with the
National Anthem,
WILL 104 A REAL DAY OF THANKS.
Thanksgiving Day Falls on October 8,
Day Following Natural Death of
Parliament
Ottawa, Sept. 4th—The date of
Thanksgiving day has been set by
the Secretary of Stale for Monday Oct-
ober eighth.
It is a somewhat Irony fact that
Thanksgiving Day has been set for
the day after the long parliament of
Canada dies a natural death. The al-
lotted span of that parliament snaps
at midnight of October 7.
