Ju- bilee Dinner at Chez Paree' last Thursday evening, paid special tribute to E. J. B. Duncan, K.C., the only surviving charter mem- ber and President of the Assoc- iation in 1901. Andrew G. Smith, a past presi- dent, in proposing the toast to Mr. Duncan, referred to him as "that Grand Old Gentleman from the County of Huron," born in the Township of Stanley, whose father, Rev. James Duncan, en- dured many of the hardships of pioneer life in the early days of the settlement of, that district. Although nearly` 89 years of age, E. J'. B. Duncan is at .his law office in 'downtown. Toronto at 8.15 every morning, six days a week. In responding, Mr. Duncan re- palled the organization of The Huron County Old Boys Assoc- iation of Toronto in January 1900. He' said that among the charter members were John R. Miller, formerly Inspector of Schools for West Huron, who later studied law and practiced in Toronto; Hon. A. M. Ross, afterwards Provincial Treasurer; J. T. Gamow, afterwards a mem- ber of Sir Oliver Mowat's Cab- inet and a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario; Thomas Gibson, then MLA for North Huron; Ed- ward Floody, then Editor of Clin- ton News -Record; Thomas B. Stewart, formerly of Myth; William Pendergast and Henry Beatty, both from • Seaforth district, The first president of the Association was Mr. (later Sir) John S. Willison, then Editor of the Toronto Globe, and the first vice-president was Dr. Weismiller, County Toasted The toast to Huron County was proposed by Kenneth C. Stan - bury, who said on behalf of those present, many of whom had roots embedded deeply in the soil of Huron County, that they were happy and proud to think that wherever they went they would carry with them "something of the mintage of men stamped with the Hallmark 'Huron'," and so rich was their heritage that no words could adequately express the debt they owed to Huron County. In responding to this toast, D.

Nine Presbyteries Attend Conference Huron Presbytery Y,P,U, of the United Church of Canada were the official hosts over the weekend when London Confer- ence Y.P.U. Officers' Congress was held, Wesley -Willis United Church, Clinton, had been chos- en for the occasion, and proved an excellent spot for this annual event. This is the first time that this Congress has ever been held in Huron and there was a total registration of 135, a decided in- crease over other years. Dele- gates were present from all of the nine Presbyteries of the Con- ference — Algoma, Elgin, Essex, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex, Ox- ford, Perth and Huron. The president, Miss Lorraine Pettit, London, presided at the various sessions with Ken Hick, KOmoka, Leadership Training Convener, acting as whip, and Benson Sut- ter, Clinton, secretary, in charge of the local arrangements. The registrar, Mrs. Donald Symons, Clinton, and her. assist- ants, Miss Ruth Wilson, Clinton, anti Miss Elaine Walsh, Belgrave, were kept busy registering the delegates and seeing that they all had billets. All meals were served in the Church Hall by the WA under the able leadership of the president, Mrs. G. B. Beattie. The Congress officially began on Saturday morning with wor- ship conducted by members from Lambton Presbytery. Rev, H. C. Wilson, minister of the Congress Church, and Benson Sutter, extended a welcome to the church. The Congress divid- ed into the various groups which were led as follows: Administra- tion one (presidents and vice- presidents), Miss Lorraine Pettitt Administration two (secretaries and treasurers), Benson Sutter and Trevor Smith, Forest; Chris- tian Fellowship, Miss Florence Kirk, Woodham; Christian Mis- sions, Miss Viola Ling, London; Christian Citizenship, Oliver Blackman, Delaware, replacing the convener, Miss Anna Farris, Sarnia; Christian Culture, Miss June Goodwyn, Windsor; Chris- tian Recreation, Miss Margaret Corneille,' London; Leadership Training, Ken Hick, "Adventure in. Service" The theme of the Congress was "Adventure in Service" and C of C Makes $100 Grant; Shares In New Parking Lot Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce, at its May gen- eral meeting in the Town Coun- cil Chamber Monday evening, voted $100 to the Manitoba Flood Relief Fund. The Chamber also appointed the National Affairs Committee, IV. H, Robinson, chairman, to assist the Town Council in the local drive for funds and cloth- ing. The committee has power to add to its numbers, After G. R. Foster, chairman of the Civic Committee, had ex- plained the situation, the Cham- ber passed a motion giving auth- ority to the Committee to share the cost on a 50-50 basis -but not to exceed $100 — of the establishment of a new parking lot behind. the Town Hall. Mr. Foster said that the space would accommodate 20 to 25 cars, or even 30 if properly organized. Things necessary were removal of shrubs; placing of gravel; plac- ing light on post; stretching fence from the Library to the Town Hall, with suitable ent- rance; and erection of signs to indicate the parking area, Other developments might be o possible in connection with park - The Weather 1950 1949 High ,Low High Low May 18 62 40 .85 61 19 50 ' 41 79'' 47 20 66 , - 35 62 38 21. 72 36 66' 39 22 75 .47. 72 53 .23 69 69 70 49 24 80 50 61 44 ' Rain: .06 ins. • • Rain; .525 ins: ing in town, he staked.

Early Copy Again For Next Week Due to the fact that next Week's issue of The NEWS - RECORD will 'feature "Clin- ton Day" announcements, early copy is absolutely es- sential, and the merchants have been notified by the Chamber of Commerce that all advertising copy must be in our office by Saturday— and preferably before, The NEWS -RECORD also would appreciate early copy from correspondents a n d other contributors. The man- agement thanks those who co- operated this week in this respect, and in advance those who do the same for next week's issue, the guest speaker was Rev. R. G. Hazlewood, Walton. Mr. Hazle- wood gave two very challenging addresses, one on Saturday af- ternoon and the other in the evening. Mr. Hazlewood stated that it was only as Young People ac- cepted Christ as their own per- sonal Saviour that they could really know what an adventure in service could mean, Men of vision had a real adventure in service 25 years ago when the United Church of Canada came into being and yet the youth of today were faced with a much greater adventure in service in the 'days that lie ahead. Mr. Hazlewood felt that too often people could be spreading them- selves too thin by being mixed up with too many organizations and as a result were not giving the service that they could to any one, and usually in these cases it , was the church which suffered. A very fine film, "Youth for the Kingdom" was shown on Saturday, evening. Presbyteries in charge of the various events were: Perth, sing -song at lunch time; Kent, sing -song of. spirit- uals; Elgin, afternoon worship; Oxford, sing -song at the ban- quet; Algoma, Hymn sing on Saturday epening; Essex, Satur- day evening vespers. A unique featureof the ban- quet was the presentation of corsages and boutonnieres to all members of the Conference exec- utive and others officiating dur- ing the weekend, by members of Huron Presbytery executive. One of the most noticeable feat- ures of the weekend was the group singing which was espec- ially evident at the meal tables. Greetings Brought At the banquet on Saturday night, greetings were brought by Miss Isobel .Chow -en, president of the local union; Harvey Sparling, president of the host—Presbytery; Rev. H. C.

H. Epps in the chair. The Club decided to donate $100. to the Manitoba Flood Re- lief Fund, after a request had. been read from• the local Com- mittee, J, H. Bru'nsdon, chairman of the Arena Committee, submitted tenders for construction of new seating on the east side of Clin- ton Lions Arena, and after some discussion, the Club voted to let a contract 'to William Grigg, Clinton, for the work, subject to financial arrangements being made by the Club directors. Mr. Brunsdon stated that the ice surface would be widened by' four feet, and that it would be approximately 63 feet by 168 feet, when completed. There would be five mows of seats, each seating 108, in addition to a "cat- walk" along the back with stand- ing room for 200 to 250. The plan of seating was about the same as at Seaforth. The members passed a motion to incorporate the Club with a non-profit charter from the On- tario Government. It wasfelt that such action would be ad- vantageous in view of the Club's ownership of the Arena. Entertainment was provided by F/0 Hugh Paterson, RCAF, and Harry Payne, RCAF civilian em- ployee, The former played a piano solo "Ail Alone", and ac- companied. Mr. Payne in two sparkling comedy numbers. The artists were introduced by.. R. S Atkey and were thanked. (Continued on. Page Five) REV. W. A.
