For when people are united and "pulling together'+, amic- ably there is no limit to their achieve- ment. With "two wars" of arduous service behind it, Canadian Red Cross looks with -confidence ` to whatever lies a- head. This would be an impossibility without the united and continuo=s volunteer effort of Canadian Red Gross workers everywhere. V Special Salvation Army Services Lieutenants McArthur and Durkee the Salvation Army officer at Gode- rich will • begin special evening ser- vices once a month commencing Feb. 21st at 8 o'clock. The 'services will include bright singing and a special feature of the first meeting will be the latest converts from Goderieh. Everybody welcome. Look for the dates for the monthly meetings which will be held in the Salvation Army hall here. V THE HOME PAPER Hospital Board Meets The meeting of the Clinton Hospital Board was held Friday in the coun- cil chambers The board was 'organi zed for 1944 as follows: Pres. F. Fingland; vice-pres., E. E. Paterson; see., A. M. Knight; treas., G. H. Jefferson. The committees are: fmanee E. E. Paterson, chairman; G. IL Jefferson, A. M. Knight; property, O. L. Paisley chairman; Dr. J. W. Shaw, Mayor M. J. Agnew; house, G. M. Counter, chairman. Dr. W. A. Oakes, Reeve, V. D. Falconer; staff, 9Dr. Oakes, chairman; Dr. Shaw, and E. E. Paterson. During the year only five accounts totalling $214.50 were classed as indigent and charged against the county. In our opinion, a large num- ber of patients admitted as paying patients should be classed, as indigent,. A committee of the board vans appoin- ted during the year to investigate the ability to pay of account should be an indigent one. This was an excel- lent idea but 'unfortunately the coo mittee was not furnished with the names • of patients admitted each week and so it did not function. Having more patients charged to the county as indigent would reduee the loss from uncollectible accounts. Valentine Dance at C. C. L The Red Cross Society of the Clin- ton Collegiate Institute held a Val- entine -Dance in the school auditorium on Wednesday night last, which pro- vided a most enjoyable occasion for a large gathering of students, memb- ers of the teaching staff, and many friends. The auditorium was attract- ively decorated in keeping with St. Valentine's Day, arranged by students• under the direction of Miss Barbara Brown, staff, Music was provided by the Clinton R.C.A.F. Station orch- estra, which is very popular in this district. 'Mr. W. McGee, staff, was in charge of publicity; Mr. B. Olde, staff was floor manager, and at the door were Charlie Thompson and Gerald Elliott, students. Miss A. Corp, staff, was in charge of the re- freshment booth. - The affair was very successful financially and otherwise. V Bartliff's New Store FronU A big improvement at the north end of main street is Bartliff's new front on the confectionery store. The modern' front of vitrelite looks, very nice and will look even better after the stucco is put on in the warmer weather: a vast improvement over the old cement front. The work was started in December but due to the scarcity. of men and materials it lingered on, and only last week end the boards in front were taken down. The name is in high yellow letters over the front door and goes well with theblack and cream vitrolite and clear galss. The inside of the confectionery and restaurant had all been re -decorated in pastel shades and combined with the marble soda bar and glass show cases looks, like any up-to-date city store. Those two beautiful land- scapes will and-scapes-will stilI appear in -the display window.
