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.

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-

well known in Clinton where he resides
and this is his second war, as he was
with the Imperial Army in World War

1914 when war was declared and im-
mediately responded to the call to
arms, enlisting with the Cavalry, and
with the exception of a yearly ten
day's leave in England, had seen ac-
tive service for the four years. He
was gassed but his own people were
not aware of the fact until he arrived
home, by a curious coincidence, on
Armistice Day, and was given a royal
welcome. A. brother, Pte. R. Walton,
who went over 'with the Canadians
fell in action in 1917.
Mr. Walton has joined the Veterans

has been credited with the probable

spotted recently during a routine

Aldwinekle and his crew did not
claim a probable sinking when' they
returned to their base -They though►
they had failed -but pictures faxen
during the fight showed the U boat
probably was sent to the bottom by
the last of their depth charges.
It was after the supply of charges
ran out that the crew members spot-
ted a second sub but all they could
do was rake it with machine-gun fire
and send it into a crash dive.
Aldwinekle said that he and his men
had been out for hours before they
spotted the U -Boat.
