Reg. Thrush, Chapleau, Grand Master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for the jurisdic- tion of Ontario, et a banquet for Huron District No, 8- held in Brucefield United Church on Monday evening, 'November 14. Mr. Thrush is a lumberman of the north, and is keenly inter- ested in young people. He is very anxious to see lodges spon- sor youth activities and cited several instances—Orillia sponsors a band, ‚Peterborough a juvenile hockey lague and Brantford gave the younger generation a very Iively Hallowe'en party, Mr. Thrush said that he did not feel' that the IOOF was re- ceiving enough publicity and blamed this on the members who seemed reticent of telling what they were accomplishing, He urged that the best and worthiest citizens be approached for mem- bership and that a dieser co- operation with the Rebekah Lodge be effected if possible. Mr. Thrush spoke at some BRO.REG. THRUSH length regarding the CPT fund, which has been in operation now for the past two or three years. He stated that this was the big- gest project in the history of the order and its far-reaching effects could never be completely re- corded. The fund originally was started to assist with the three dread diseases—cancer, tubercul- osis and polio—but also was be- ing used in many instances for any case of disaster which strikes o community. Mr. Thrush mentioned two in- stances, one where the committee for the whole jurisdiction had spent $5,000 for a rehabilitation unit at the Gravenhurst Sana- torium, and the other 'where the Kingston unit had built a clinic at the back of a home so that the wife, who had been able to get her husband on his feet after polio, now was look- ing after other eimi1,ar cases throughout the city. Mr. Thrush said he was firmly convinced that this committee was more in need of a chaplain than any other officer, because it was certainly the work of God that he had seen n Kingston and many other points, The speaker said that' he was firmly convinced that anything a service club can do, could now be done better by the IOOF if the members would adhere to the basic principles of the order. The speaker closed his remarks by giving the challenge that the members need a deeper concep- (Continued on Page Ten) Lauds Relations RCAF and Town The fine spirit of co-operation that exists between the person- nel of RCAF Station, Clinton, and the residentsof Clinton and dist- rict, ewes stressed by various speakers at the "stag night" held y 'Clinton Lions Club at dinner meeting in Hotel Clinton Friday evening last.

The Township of Stanley which lies just to the south of Goderich Township, from which it is sep- arated by the Bayfield River, was pained after one of the most prominent stockholders in the Canada Company as originally constituted. It has an area of 53,844 acres, and with the exception of some rough farms along the Bayfield, and a streak of low, swampy land which runs in a southerly direction • from the northern boundary near the centre of the township, the . roil of Stanley partakes. largely of those features of excellence characteristic'of Huron County land. The other boundaries than the one mention- ed of Stanley, are formed by the Townships of Tuckersmith and Hay. on the east and south re- spectively, and Lake Huron on. the west. The history of the earliest settlements in the township, espec tally the north-western portion, is identical with.,. that of the founding of the present village of Eayfield (1879), which was $3, included in the .
