R. .4 IRWIN RED CROSS NOTES Canada's first Victoria Cross Winn - err in this war, Lt. Col. Merritt, taken prisoner at Dieppe, al a recent com- munication to his wife, stressed the need for parcels of food and clothing and advised her to get in touch with the Red Gross for particulars, A steady stream of letters of apprecia- tion for prisoners of war parcels con- tinues to pour into Red Cross Head- quarters and Branches, manyo f them from parents and other relatives of the prisoners of war. "We mothers of soldiers who are prisoners appre- ciate, 'and are told in every letter from our sons, how much they appreciate the work the Canadian Red Cross does for them," writes Mrs. C. C. Harrow of New Zealand. "I never appreciated the Red Cross until.I was captured and now I realize they can't be too highly praised", wrote Corporal John Elliott to his mother Mrs. M. Elliott, Huron St., Toronto: ' Sgt. Pilot Nugent of Lindsay,` whose plane took fire and exploded over Germany has asked his mother to give $2.06 of his moneyeach month to the Red Cross because he says it is their main joy and it, is 'not too' much when you know how much work the Red Cross is doing. Another prison- er writes, "We over here think the Red Cross is doing well, better than a good many people know. We over over here, think they are pretty mar- vellous; not forgetting of course, the people who suliscltillle to the Red Cross." • Donations, St, Joseph's Church $25.00 Pupils of Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and S of Clinton Public Sehool, through sale of Christmas Cards, $20.00.

Many Huron Officials Likely to Seek Office Again There is' very little .election activity In Huron County municipalities. At last week's county council meeting none of the twenty nine reeves and. deputy reeves announced their retire- ment and members were urging one another to again stand for office so that there would be few changes in county council thus assuring a contin- uity of policy, particularly with re- spect to the war. So far Reeves Raymond. Redmond of East Wawanosh, and Alex M'cDon- ald of Ashfield, have announced them- selves as candidates for the 1943 wardenship. In Colborne Township it looks like a.three-cornered fight with the pre- sent reeve, William Thom, being op- posed by Alex Watson and James Fea-. gan, two of his council, An unusual situation has cropped up in BIyth, where war duties, have removed two of the four councillors from town and a bare quorum have - been carrying on. W. H. Morritt, present reeve, will again seek office. V Clinton Men in It.G.A.11'I.0 H. Walper, Parkhill; for hog produc- tion, W. J. Turnbull, Brussels; W. L.. Whyte, Seaforth; John Armstrong,.
