Armies of European governments in exile have been provided with field and hospital comforts and vast quantities of medical and surgical supplies, •civilians in such places as Malta have been furnished with cloth- ing• and blankets ,and funds have been raised to help .the Russians, Chinese and- Greeks. This, of course, is in addition to the Society's biggest civilian pro- ject—the furnishing of clothing, food,; medicines and comforts to British ah raid victims, and the huge under- taking of supplying thousands' of food parcels every 'week for British prisoners' of war.' The Red: Gross reward forets' hum- anitarian undertakings' is the con- stant stream of expressions of grati- tude received from governments and individuals. In recent times Mine. Maisky, pres- ident of the Soviet Red Cross, in thanking the Society for money sent to purchase medical supplies for the Russian forces said: "I should like to express my warm gratitude and appreciation for this gift which I know will be greatly valued by our people. This money will be used by the Soviet Red' Gross • for those nee- essities which are now so urgently required in connection with the war which is being waged on our: terri- tory." There can be no greater reward than those expressions of grateful thanks and satisfaction for a job well done. i !..3 1t Women's Institute The regular meeting will bein the form of a picnic next Thursday after- noon.

Grass, is essentially a desert plant but has also been climetized as a garden plant. It is much, prized for its pan- icles of pendulous cream -colored flowers. It sometimes attains a height of from ten to twelve feet and yields a fibre well adapted to paper making. It is the last plant that grows in the desert. When all else is burned up by the sun and lack of moisture the Yucca will still be found blooming. One of these rare plants, six feet high and in full bloom, may be seen at the present time on the front lawn of Dr. McInnes' residenee on Huron Street. ,_v Steps Cause Fall While going' down the porch steps, at her home, Mrs. James Livermore, was thrown forward when her foot caught in the steps when a slat broke.

First Milkmaid In Clinton Unusual jobs are being taken over by girls and, women, every day, to let the mien .join the services. Recently we noticed in two other papers where their towns' were claiming the first milkmaids in this war. Clinton is not far behind as Miss Jean Hunter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Len Hunter of town, is helping Luke Lawson in his daily milk route. Jean ,a school- girl, is assisting Mr. Lawson while his son and assistant, Gordon, is train- ing with the Huron & Middlesex Regi- ment egiment (Reserve Unit) at Thames Val- ley Camp, London. v Yarm help Organization 'Set Up For The Clinton District At a meeting held in Clinton on July 15th and attended by the follow- ing, Mayer A. J. McMurray, Reeve Victor Falconer, Frank Fingland K.C., W. L, Whyte, Nelson Trewartha, 1C. G. Waters, and J. C. Shearer, it was decided to set up a farm help service for farmers of the Clinton Trading; area. Retired farmers, high school pup- ils, businessmen, professional men,' and factory and store employees will be canvassed to find out if they will devote evenings, Wednesday or Sat- urday afternoon in aiding farmers of this district to harvest the bountiful ozops so badly needed at this time by Britain and our own people. • The town clerk, Mr. M. T. Corless, will act as the clearing house between the farmers and the townspeople. Any farmers desiring help can. phone 130 (Town Hall Office) and arrange- ments will be made to line up suitable help to wave the crop or crops. The renumeration will be one 25c War Savings Stamp per hour. This will help to raise money so urgently need- ed for the manufacture of war sup, piles and equipment to fit our iritic ary forces at least equal if not better than our enemies. The . Organizations co-operating in this arrangement are the Town Cotn-. cil of Clinton, 'the Lions Club. of Clinton, and the Clinton War Services Association. A. committee composed of A. J. McMurray, Victor Falconer and J. C. 'Shearer was appointed to work out the details. of the plan. The Plan is -1. If help is needed stating requirements. 2. Farmers will pay to the Town Clerk -25c per hour for each hour winked -- this money to be invested in War Savings stamps. and applied, to the account of the vol- unteer -worker.
