COUNTER Counters for Finer Jewellery for Over Half a Century in Huron County RED CROSS NOTES To -day, as ever, a large part of the success of the Canadian Red Gross effort depends on groups' of con- scientious, .hard-working people who comprise the many Red Cross Bran- ches. While their efforts have not the same appeal to public imagination as the prisoner -of -war and bloods donor clinics, the work that they so willingly do is a very vital part of the Organization. In Ontario alone this year more. than one million dollars worth of raw material will be turned into finished articles of clothing for the armed services, the merchant navy, and for civilian relief. Obviously, to run that amount of material into useful, wearable cloth- ing took millions of dollars in time and labor. This was supplied by the women .of Ontario, working through their local Red Cross. Not all the cost of material used is supplied from the annual Red Gross campaign funds. A percentage is left to be raised by each Branch throughout the course of the year. The purpose of entertainment, February 3rd, is to provide part of that percentage, and all money received will be retained by our local Red Cross Branch for the purpose of materials. Through - the generosity 'of Lev-er Brothers Limited, the "Lifebuoy Fol- lies". which you will enjoy shortly comes to the aid of your Iocal Red Cross. For -the past two years this talented group of professiosal per- formers has played to a total of over 260,000 Canadian soldiers in camps across Canada. Under the auspices' of the Ontario Division of the Canadian' Red Cross Society, the show is, for the first time, playing to the general . public. The Lever Brothers Company is paying the en- tire cost of the performance, leaving all •the receipt, with the exception of the rental of the hall, in the hands of the local Red Cross Branch. The_ money you have•spent on your ticket • will, in addition to pro- viding yeu with a splendid evening's entertainment, make available fur- ther materials for your local Red Cross, and will eventually, in the form of warm clothing, bring extra comfort to those who are bearing the brunt of this war. THE HOME PAPER Captures Prizes for' Cheese Congratulations are in order to Mr, William Norman of the. Holmesville Cheese and Butter Factory; At the Western Ontario Dairymen's Associa- tion convention •held recently in Lon- don he captured first, second and third and seventh prizes on his cheese, and also had the highest scoring cheese on exhibit. v Given en Miscellaneous Shower.Giv Mrs. A, J Shore Mrs. A. J. Shore, formerly Miss Margaret Heard, received a,•eomplete surprise last Wednesday evening when on accepting an invitation to spend the evening at the home of Miss Florence Aiken she was greeted by 20 friends who assembled to present her with a shower of miscellaneous gifts.

When the gifts had all been found and ,had been graciously acknowledged by the recipient, lunch was served. Good nights were coupled with gobd wishes for a happy married life, V Huron Central Agricultural Society Elects The annual meeting of the Enron Central Agricultural Society held in Board room Saturday afternoon was attended by upward of 60 officers, directors and stock men. The meet- ing was featured by a lively discus- sion relative to a proposed change of. date for the Clinton Spring Show, arising out of a letter from the Hul- lett township council, over the•signa- ture of Clerk James, McCool, sug- gesting that the show be held later in the .Spring,.. withthe;.laataWee o. in.. May or first week in June being pro- posed as more suitable dates. The secretary, J. C. Shearer, also read a letter from Dr. G. 5, Elliott, secretary of the Clinton Horse Racing Association urging a change of date and also recommending that the show be held on the old race track on the Frank Andrews farm. Show manager and treasurer, A. J. McMurray strongly supported the Latter, He spoke of the success of the new feature, a bacon hog class, introduced last spring, and thought that further expansion should be the aim of the directorate. More space is required if any further expansion is undertaken and if it is decided to con- tinue holding the show on the street it will become static, He favored changing both time and place. It was moved by William Mc Ewen, Stanley township, and seconded. by Roy Pepper, Tuckersmith, "That the Clinton Spring Stock Show be held this year as usual on the first Thurs- day in April." Sound reasons were advanced by both mover and seconder and the weight of discussion which followed was heavily in support of the motion which when put to a vote carried. by a substantial ma- jority, Treasurer McMurray read the fi- nancial report showing receipts amounting to $1,127.36 and ex- penditure:. $825.66, and $200. invest- ed in , the Fifth : Victory Loan, The assets are: bonds, $300.00; cash in bank, $101.70, a total of $401.70.
