NORMAN'S "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for over Half a Century in Huron County"' THE HOME PAPER Lioos'Club Frolic Next Wednesday Gate Proceeds For Red Cross While members of the Clinton Lions Club realize that Canada'swar effort claims the foremost place in the minds of eitizens of this district, and rightlyso, they also. realize there must be no slackening of their efforts in'cnild welfare work, To this end their appeal to residents of this community will be two -fold on, the occasion of their fifth annual frolic next Wednesday. In times of war the burden of maintaining a , high , standard of health is a national duty. Unfortun- ately, circumstances over which they have no control, at times compels parents to deprive their children of medical and other attention which they should have. It is in cases of this kind that service clubs come to the rescue. In this regard the Clin- ton Lions Club has in the past been the means of providing sorely need- I ed medical attention which has been the means of bringing improved' health and happiness to the children it has been privileged to serve, The Club appreciates the generous support it has been accorded by the' public in the past and again appeals l for generosity next Wednesday. The gate proceeds of the annual Frolic which is being held in Recreation Park will be given for Red Cross work. From the Club's funds two worthwhile gate prizes will be awarded. By attending the Frolic citizens of Clinton and 'community will be aiding two worthwhile or- ganizations, each doing its part to bring comfort and happiness to those in unfortunate' circumstances.

A good crowd is expected as some good entertain- ment, including platform dancing, has been arranged. Proceeds are for Red Cross work. Heavy D(iwnpour Monday Afternoon Clinton was visited with an elect- rical storm Monday afternoon ac- companied by a heavy downpour of rain which amounted almost to a cloudburst. While the storm was of short duration the heavy rain turned the waterways into mill races which overflowed the sidewalks, leaving mud and debris in its trail, Similar storms were prevalent in surrounding districts over the week- end. •In some places crops on low lands are beginning to show the of -1 fects of the continued wet spell. Growth on the whole however is very satisfactory. Home Economics Students Hold Demonstration Students of grades 7 d'nd 8 of the Public School and grades 9, 10 and 11 of the Collegiate held a display of their year's work in the Collegiate Auditorium on Thursday evening, June 6th. The work displayed indicated that the girls had worked diligently dur- ing the year, and praise must also be given to Miss Erma Pasel, teacher of Home Economics, who so ably supervised the course of study. After viewing the articles on dis- play, guests were served tea in the Hoare Economics classroom. In this department of their eourse, the girls showed their ability in the smooth- ness with which they served so many guests. First Aid Course To Be Held Here Arrangements have been complet- ed for the holding of a St. John Ambulance Association First Aid course here for women and girls. Surrounding centres have organized similar classes which are being found increasingly popular. The course requires six two-hour periods of instruction. Each meeting consists of lecture, discussion and actual practice.

C. Shearer, Agriculture Representative. His report reads: "At this institu- tion was found a foundation herd of five females, consisting of Crimson, Augusta, Helen, Buckingham and Mayflower families; headed by an excellent son of Double Ministrel, from the :nerd of Wm. Oestreicher. "The County Committee for 1939 making the selection of this herd was made up of outstanding agri- culturalists in Huron County and comprised the following: Geo. Arm- strong, W. Haacke, Fred Watson, E. Lampert and R. Shaddiek. The orig- inal plan was to establish a herd of dairy cattle, but in view of the fact that Huron Comity is so strongly represented by the .Shorthorn breed, Warden Robert Turner and the Ceunty Council we're convinced that a Shorthorn herd would be more in line with the cattle indpstry of that county, which is definitely beef pro- ducing. It is interesting to mote that the aim of this County Home is to set up a model farm with all branches of its livestock purebred. The sur- plus breeding stock will be disposed of otily in the county, and thus the stock at the farm becomes a medium for livestock improvement ' in the county. Officers of ,the Perth -Huron Shorthorn Club are to be commended for their efforts. Combined 'Age 186 Years The combined ages of the'two. gentlemen pictured above is 186. years. David Cantelon, who needs no introduction to our readers, will be 93 years young in November.
