Members of the Auxiliary served tea, when the guest of honour cut the birthday cake, and received best wishes for "Many hap- py returns of the day." The follow- ing is the address which was read to Mrs. Johnson: "Dear Mrs. Johnson; -As you are to -day celebrating the happy event of your eighty-fifth birthday and have been a member of St. Paul's W. A. since its organization, we, your fel- low members and friends, are gath- ered here to -day to celebrate , with you the happy event. Birthdays are milestones which mark off the road of life along which we all travel, the longer the road, the more opportun- ities we have of service, and service alone makes the way one to which we can look back with feelings of satisfaction. Knowing you and your zeal, from the bottom of our hearts we congrat- ulate you on this happy day. For you can look back with a full and thankful heart to many years of service for Christ through His Church.

They come to you the young, the old You turn them not away, nor are afraid Of your great store of cheer to give That each a happier life may live. This picture is, I know, too small. Would I could paint it all! A life .of service and of love For our dear Master up above.'

WIN FROM CUP HOLDERS 'Wearwell Hosiery team defeated their former rivals and last season's trophy winners on the local diamond on Tuesday evening, by the score of 8-4. It was conceded to be the best game sof ball played here this sea- son, for, while errors were notice- able on both sides there was snappy work in the field and on the bases. 'Of the four runs tallied by the Benders, three were homers. They opened the scoring in the first frame in which they acocunted for two runs were retired scoreless in the next three, tallied one in each of the next two and were blanked for the last three innings. The Hosemakers opened with one in their first, were held to zero in the second, broke away for five runs in the third, following up with two more in the fourth frame, and the last four were scoreless. Oustanding plays were the hom- ers for the visiting nine; and for the honesters a sensational bit of field- ing by Livermore in centre field, who raced for a long fly beyond his own fielding territory hut out of reach of his side -kick in left field, and con- nected. Hawkins also caught some difficult ones. Batteries: Grand Bend, W. Des- jardine and G. Statton; Clinton, Mc- Donald and Pearson. THE CONCERT Those who did not brave the heat and attend the "Crippled Children's Concert" in Wesley -Willis church on Tuesday evening missed a znusical treat and, incidentally, it wasn't se hot in the building at all, except for those who were doing the enter- taining, and there was no indication that they were slighting their ef- fort's on that account. However, we can well imagine that they were re- lieved when it was over. This concert was one of a series being put on in the towns of Huron County in aid of the crippled children fund of the Lion's Clubs of Goderich and Seaforth, an object which ap- peals to most folk, and a large num- ber of tickets were sold in Clinton, a number of the buyers being de- tained at home when the evening came on account of the heat, Those who attended, however, were well repaid and probably felt the heat less than those who stayed at home to think about it.. The performers, Mr. Waking, baritone, Goderich, under whose dir- ection these concerts are given, sang several numbers which were greatly appreciated, Mi•s. W. A. Oakes, con- tralto, of Clinton, also contributed some charming songs and was warm- ly encored; the violin selections of Miss Peggy Moreland, Hamilton, gold medalist at Stratford Musical Festival, were very much enjoyed. Her playing was exquisite and one wondered how a child of thirteen could have applied herself sufficient- ly to have become such a master of such an instrument. She was accom- panied by her mother, Mrs. S. More- land, but in one number was accom- panied by the organ, played by Mr. Leslie .Somerville, Hamilton, whose playing over the radio was well known to many, and who delighted the audience with his organ numbers. He played the "Rosary" by request in his last group of selections and his closing number was masterly. Alto- gether it was an excellent entertain- ment. During an interval Mr. Griff ex- plaining that Mr. Hopper, who was to do it, was called away, exhibited some pictures in the screen and ex- plained the work done for crippled children. The pictures showed . not only the need, but also some of the results of treatment, and he advised that if anyone knew of the case of a child who ought to be getting special treatment word should • be sent to the Club and. that each case would be in- vestigated. Mr. It Edwards, chnian ,of this section of the Club's''.work, thanked the church officials for the use of the church and also those who bad given their services and those present for, their support. Ile said that every dollar so raised went into the Crip- pled Childrens' Fund and was used for this work alone. A TREAT FOR. CO. HOME The Y. P. S. of Jahmvalo United church came up Monday evening and put on a very 'pleasing and very much enjoyed musical program at theo Iiur n CountyHome. h n The chair was taken by the minister of the church, Rev.
