Saville, esteean- ed.residents of Clinton, on Friday last Victoria Day, celebrated the twenty- fifth anniversary of their marriage. A number of friends and relatives were invited and a very happy day was .spent together, Twenty-five years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Saville plighted their troth Victoria the Good was on the throne and the twen- ty-fourth of May was considered the most important holiday, except Christ- mas, in the calendar year. Guests were present from Brussels, Belgrave and Londesboro. Mr. and Mrs, Wil- liam Webster who were present from the latter 'place also celebrated their wedding anniversary, though their married years only number about half those of the host and hostess. Mrs. Adam Cook of Goderieh, form- erly of Clinton, mother of Messrs. Ar- thur and Al Cook of town, died at the home of her daughter in Goderich, en Monday, at the advancedage of ninety-one years and nine months, After an illness of several months duration— a peroid of protracted suf- fering borne with remarkable forti- tude and maintaining complete eon- seiousness almost to the 'end—Miss Millie K. Holmes, one of the most eminent and best known members of the teaching staff of the St. Cath- arines Public School passed away at the home of her mother, Mrs. E. Holmes, St. Catharines. Miss Holmes who was the daughter of the late Ed- niund Holmes, and was born. in Clin- ton, Huron County, had -been on the teaching staff of the St. Catharines public schools for .twenty-two years, and during that time had demonstrat- ed high 'instructive qualifications and a regard for detail for which the -was highlyvalued by the educational of- ficials, For a time.she•was principal of the Alexandra school and continue* to teach an advanced class with em inent success.

Watt, son of Mrs, Mar - get Watt of town was killed en Sun- day evening at the farm of Mr. John Beattie of McKiIlop township, near Harloek. Mr. Watt, who was employ- ed by Mr. Beattie, had been deing the chores about the barn and it is sup- posed that he had taken the bull to water and was tying the animal up again when by some means he was knocked down and trampled to death in the stall. When he did not come into tea a young son of the family was sent to the barn to call him: and thus the discovery was ,made. Life was extinct when the body was re- covered. The animal did not seem en- raged at all and it is thought that while the unfortunate man was put- ting an extra chain about his neck the -animal may have thrown up his head striking Mm in the face and thus stunning him so. that he fell and was unable to rise. The deceased was the only son of Mrs. Watt of Clinton, He is also survived by two sisters, Misses Annie and Bessie. Mr. T. H. Cole has moved his fam- ily into town and they now occupy their new home recently purchased on Victoria Stieet, Mr. John Walton, who takes a great pride in rearing 'carrier pigeons had three of them shot on Wednesday last, Young pigeons lfet'in the nests and too young to look after themsel- ves died in consequence. so the loss was a double one. Mr. William Irving also lost some pigeons about the same time. One had just as well go into the private premises of a .citizen and shoot his prize ,chickens. THE CLINTON NEW ERA MAY 30th, 1918.

Its value has been greatly enhanced by a projected', extension of the Canadian Northern so Mr. Grigg stands to net a hand- some profit. The first baseball match of the sea- son took place in the park Monday afternoon between the Clinton and Blyth teams. The result, which was at no time in doubt was 11 to 9 in favor of Clinton. with an inning to spare. The home battery consisted of S. Cole and W, Johnson who did ex- cellent work. Johnson injured his col- lar bone by •a fall early in the game but he pluckily played the match through, the surgeon patching him up afterwards, Doc Agnew was at his old ;Post at first base. He did the heaviest batting of the afternoon. Will. Harland is another of the stand- bys who can always be expected to put up a good game. Doe Shaw is just as fond of a lively game of ball as ever.

Navy League Tag. Day. June 5th The Navy League of Canada is a - again holding its _<tagg day in our municipality on Saturday June 5th and we wish them every success in this verypatriotic effort on behalf of merchant seamen.' We live in .peace in this eomnlunitywhile Our brothers fathers and sons bear, the brunt of battle not only on the sea, but also on the land and in the air and it is our duty to support every effort, in order to strengthen their anorale so that the victory may be ours and not Hitler's, The Navy league has made mar venous contributions to our fighting naval 'men and our merchant seamen and its sixteen hostels and recrea- tion centres have added greatly to- wards the welfare and comfort .of these men of bhe sea. It is interest- ing to note that during 1942, more than two .million merchant seamen crossed the threshold of the Navy League Seamen's Clubs where good meals were provided and •comfortable sleeping accommodation, hot and cold shower baths, 'recreation and pleas- ing entertainment. When these men leave .the Navy League hostels, they do so with courage in the hearts and thankfulness because' of the generos- ity of Canadian people for all that they have received. The Department of Naval Affairs, have'proclaimed time and again that. the efforts of the Navy League have done much to keep our seamen on the sea in keeping their morale high and their courage undaunted in the great 'battle of the Atlantie and Pacific. TheNavy League, like Naval De- partment, give the fullest praise and thanks to our men who have so nob- ly stood by their duty to their King and Country and it is plainly our duty to give this organization the support that is needed in order to. carry on this great undertaking. The tuggers for the Navy League in this ,eommunity will feel that they have performed a noble and patriotic service, if . every citizen gives them the support which they need at this .time. We must not ignore their outstretched hands for they form the first link in the chain that stretches from this community to our brave men of the seas, carrying our con- erete 'thank you' for the tremendous service they are rendering in protect- ing and serving us, for if it were not for these men, the battles • of this war :night well be fought en the streets. lanes, highways, and fields of our' own country. Let us rise to risk and carry out the noble traditions of Lord Nelson who said so many years ago, "Eng- land expects that every man this day will do his duty." —v— GOD SENDS LOVE TO YOU Above the edge of dark appear the lances of the sun; Along the mountain ridges clear his rosy heralds run; The vapors down the valley go. Like broken armies, dark and low, Look up, my heart, from every hill, In folds of rose and daffodil The sunrise banners flow. Oh, fly away on silent wing, ye bod- ing owls of night! Oh, welcome little birds that sing the corning -in of light! For new, and new and ever new, The golden bud within the blue; And every morning seems to say: "There's something happyon the way And God sends love to you!"

The Victoria Day week -end just ov- er, should be a memorable one for Pat Hartney, twelve year old son of Mr, and Mrs. Edward Hartney of Goderioh. Last Friday evening, sooner than face an expected parental repri- mand, he took to the highway and by- ways. Twenty-four hours Iater noth. ing had been heard 'of him, and al- though it was suspected that he had gone to his grandmother's in Lon- don his parent's were very uneasy and appealed to Chief Ross, who had the disappearance' broadcast. -A truck- driver, aproaohing Walkerton, heard the story of the missing boy come over the air. He recalled that he had given a boy answering the description a ride to London the day before and promptly reported the circumstances to the Chief of Police at Walkerton, who in turn cominunieated with Chief Ross. The boy was located! in Lon- den ondon soon after and was back' at school in Goderieh Tuesday morning none the worse for his adventure.—Goderich Signal Star. —V— er from Sky Harbor, with a solo stud- ent at the controls, crashed into the Maitland River, just above the bridge. The student had climbed out of the cockpit and waded ashore in three feet of water, uninjured, before the first eyewitness had reached the riv- er's bank, The plane, almost complet- ely wrecked, -was soon hauled back to its base on a lorry. It was an unfortunate ending to an otherwiseflying for the there' big day of Elementary School. Manager Douglas had very little to sayabout the ac- cident, He did say that the student was in the act of executing a definite exercise, that his plane went into a spin and, despite the efforts of the student pilot, had failed to come out of it. The student was very lucky. There was an_exiciting time for a few minutes at Sky Harbor on Satur- day evening. A plane, piloted by a student with only a few hours solo flying, lo4 a wheel in taking off, un- beknown to the student, but not to observers in the control tower. First one instructor and then another took to the air to apprise the student of what had happened. Various means were resorted to, gestures and smell like. Even a large sign was "printed" and held from the side of an instruct- or's plane so that the student might read it. Finally the two guiding planes circled the field, with the student and his one wheel plane in between and herded him down to a precarious one- point landing. The student escaped un- injured and there was little 'damage to the ,machine. Prompt action, alertness and careful gniding• prevented what might have proved a serious accid- ent, an airport official told the .Sig- nal -Star,— Goderieh Signal Star.
