Societies. e_ Tile faet. that Mondaywas a holi- day dict not. provent the patriotic ladies of Huron County from gather- ing in Clinton for the purpose of talking - Over plans and perfecting ar- rangements for the better and more efficient carrying out of patriotic Work. Representatives were present from 'almost every point in the conn by and representing nearly every one of the fifty patriptic and Red Cross organizations throughout Huron., This gathering was called at the sug- gestion of Mr. ll', Brydone,'president. of the Huron County War Auxmlt mry, and he it was who, working with the ladies, assumed a good share of the work connected with the meeting, • Time rineed ing Was called lot the purpose of. discussing plans for, the unification of the different branches of the work and to systemize time Cft Y 1 order tri •t of thet fon s m reach the highest state of • cllicienclt. possible. • The Loudon branch of the War C'bn thigent, and Red Cross was asked to supply the sneakers. and Mrs. Seiner - Suite, president oftPfc ' d n' War Contin- gent, outiit-gent, end. Mrs. Gordon Wright, pres- ident of the Red Cross, were the ladies who Caine. • '• This forenoon session was called to meet in Wesley churchat eleven o'clock. Mrs. Pair, president of the Local patriotic Society, called the meeting to order and after the sing- ing of one verse: of the national an- them nominations were, called for and Mrs. Larkin of Seaforth was el- ected and tool: the chair, Miss Le - 'i oweei of Goderielm being appointed serhetary for the day. :1 letter was then read from Mr. Bryclone, con- gratulating the ladies upon the in- itial success• of the meeting and sett- ing forth some of the reasons for calling it and tine results hoped for from this conning together of the faithful patriotic workers of the county. Mrs, Somerville was the first speaker and she told very earnestlr and simply of the beginning of the effort to assist the soldiers going forth from our own dear Canada and citing some of the difficulties met with. She said that it was soon discovered that the sole energies of the workers were needed to provide comforts for the men in the trenches and in the hospitals and from the opening of the war until time present the work has grown in magnitude. She tried to give some idea of the greatness of the work by telling of the numbers of articles passing through the bands of the headquar- ters' staff and explained that to feci.l- itate platters and get the best re- sults the War Contingent Society and the Red Cross hail amalgamated, to their mutual good. "'i'ihis has beau a great help in many ways," remarked Mrs. ,Somerville, "and we found it very satisfactory a short time ago when lire destroyed our stores at the Queen Mary Hospital and two were cabled for a new supply to be able to cable back to draw upon the Red Cross, as per arrangemeiri:. There was no waiting on the part of the hospital nor: yet hurried, feverish working on our part, in all endeavor to Orli the requirements. The sup- plies were in the Red Cliois stores and were immediately a.vailaisle where they were needed." Mrs. Wright spoke of the splendid work accomplished by the women of Canada but she urged that as the men were giving up their lives and women had performed the greater sacrifice of speeding them forth, so they must perform the smaller sac- rifice of endeavoring to make their own work as efficient as possible. She also spoke in the highest praise of the benefits derived From the uni- fication of the two branches of pat- riotic: work, and referred to the fact that while it was supposed to lie the work- of the Red Cross to look after the comforts of the men its the hos- pitals aunt of the War Contingent those in the trenches the work was really so interchangeable that it was well-nigh impossible to disasso- elate the two." "For," said sloe, "the main for whom you start to knit a pair of trench socks today may be in the hospital next week and the man who today seems a like- ly candidate for tine hospital shirt which you are making may have a speedy recovery and he back in the trenches before the garment is fin- ished." At one o'clock an adjournment was made for luncheon, the afternoon ses- sion being called for twor"o'clook. An opportunity being given at the opening of the afternoon session many of the delegates put forward questions with regard to the two branches of patriotic work, which were answered by the visiting ladies. "Do not grow tired of knitting," urged Mrs. Somerville, "and do not I grow tired of doing the satire thing over and over again, There is noth- 'nag new to do. It is just knit and sew in the sane way and as dii- gently as possible. All will be needed." "And," she continued, "if your work is criticised and you are asked to make thiings by a certain rule or pattern try to observe the instructions to the letter. There is always a good reason even though lieu may not be able to see it. The very first thing a soldier must do is learn to obey the orders of his superior officers and surely, we can also learn to twice orders and do our work according to the instruc- tions of those who are in a position to know what is needed, 'thus mak- ing our work for the Empire the more elTicient," Mrs. Wright told the story of, a lady, the wife of a lawyer, who came to the work rooms and asked to be given "some- thing to do. Whenasked what she could do she replied, "7 will do any- thing you have for me. I can scrub the roosts if -necessary. I want to' help When the time was up for the closing of the question draw- er Mrs. Larkin asked Mrs. Wright to take the chair for the organization,', which she did, She cited many of the advantages to' be gained by the federation of ail the women's societies doing . ;pat- riotic work in Huron, in the more thorough system which could be; Oh- served and in having one itself for the county which would report to the headquarters at London, the natural head • of military Division No. i, of which Huron forms a part. I law a. look in your faces when I was . speaking this morning," said she, '!which convinced me that yon also •recognized these advantages slid would avail ircurselves .Of thein.'' FL motion being matte, ample time was given for discussion and maniA points were brought out. As ib e discussion proceededMt WrightV 're- marked amarked laughingly that, "lf any county needled organizing surely this one did' as everyone • seemed to have been a law unto' himself in the. Past.", Finally it was decided to federate the societies of the county and the following officers were appointed President, Mrs, Hamilton, Cloder- ich ; Rec.—Secretary, 'Miss C'onsitt, Ifensafl ; Cor. -Secretary, Mrs, Fil- lets, Exeter ; Treasurer:, Miss Brown, Seaforth ; Assistant, Mrs. Finlay- son,' Seaforth. The presidents of the local societies are considered to be vice-presidents and from these an executive will lie chosen. Clinton was chosen. as the centre: for shipping, it being the most cen- tral point, and all shipments from other points wilt be gone into lucre by a committee appointed for the purpose. ' The Clinton patriotic workers were nut enthusiastic about this arrange- ment as it will entail a vast; amount of extra work but it was clearly the will of the meeting and no doubt the ladies will measure up fully to the new responsibility. No fees are to be exacted, All sur - Plus fends over and above- what is needed by the local societies will he Paid into the county treasury and all disbursements made through it., while each local society of course will get full credit for all that it does and the county will be given full credit for all that is done by edeh individual society, wisieil is net the case in ninny instances when dona- tions are sent out of tie county without any official stamp. The Icc- essary expenses of the society will be paid out of the general fund. At time conclusion of the sleeting Mrs. Somerville, Mrs. Wright and the ladies of Clinton were tendered thanks for the efforts put forth iu behalf of the or'ganizat-ian and the in- ferusa.tian imparted. While, of course, eaeih society wiit use its own judgement about ,joining the federation, it is hooped that the advantages to be gained.st^ill induce every one to commie` in. Coderich.
