THE HOME PAPER GREAT PATRIOTIC GATHERING PASSES RESOL,UTION URGING F ULLEST WAR EFFORT L Although a steadily falling rain fell most of Sunday afternoon, mak- ing it necessary to hold the patriotic rally for Huron County. at Library Park instead of Recreation Park, a huge crowd testified to Huron's loy- alty at this time. Every available parking space was used as motorists from all over Huron gathered here. Fortunately the loudspeakers func- tioned well and the messages of the various speakers were carried clearly over a fairly wide radius. Warden George Feagan was chair- man and after "0 Canada" by the Seaforth Band and prayer by Rev. O'Neil, made a few remarks before calling upon Mr. R. E. Pooley of Exeter, Legion Zone Commander. "Internal Security" was Mr. Pooley's topic. He urged that there be no letting up of vigilance, and even though those of foreign birth in our midst may appear loyal it is every- one's y one's duty to guard against possible sabotage. Ire further pledged the Canadian Legion, with 1200 branches across Canada to the Nation's war Effort u_.�uann •their des' • g desire to back the fighting forces` to the fullest possible extent. Rev. G. G. Burton in ringing tones in his address on "War Effort" out- lined the various part we as individ- uals have to play, All cannot be fighting men, yet each has a part in ; some capacity. He urged -the farm- ers to intensify their efforts to pro- vide food for the soldiers; manufact- uring industries to step up produc- tion of necessary materials; women to continue their efforts, and even. children to do their part. "One thing they can do is clean up Clinton, it needs it," he said, He urged those eligible to take their places with the fighting men to consider seriously what is their duty. J. D. Thomas of Goderich spoke on "War Services", remarking on the splendid response made by residents of Huron County in the various cam- paigns made thus far. Others must of necessity follow and he bespoke' the canis hearty co-operation. In his opinion the Huron Regiment should be mobilized and a resolution to that effect will be sent the Prime Min- ister, the Minister of Defence, L. E. Cardiff and W. H. Golding. "Evacuated Children" was discuss- ed by Rev. R. P. D. Hurford of Sea - forth who e gg^ed that every effort should be rade to bring refugee children to Canada where a havenI awaits thein. E. 11:Brown, deputy reeve of God -1 aria, presented the following resolu tion which was seconded by Reeve J. R. Scott, Seaforth: "We, the people of, Huron county, meeting together in the Agricultural. Park, Clinton, in this most fateful moment in the history' of the world, first of all solemnly re-affiern our faith in God.; our loyalty to the crown, our fidelity to the British Empire and our unshakeable confidence in ultimate victory, the triumph of righteousness and the destruction of Hitlerism. And we dedicate ourselves anew to the supreme task of winning the war, manfully accepting whatever burdens the war may place upon us as our bounden duty and service. To this end be it ftuther resolved tha this great gathering of free an loyal people go_ on record as unre- servedly approving the war policy of our government, urging them to hasten by all means at their com- inand the creation of ez t the .machinery necessary1 to imp ement their plans. That they be asked to take immediate steps to have manufactured in this country those things which we do not now niak butwhich e w h are essential for the successful prosecuticn of the .war^, anis that all national occupations be subordinated to that object, mak- ing use of the best •brain power in 'Canada. w < ti. . That every encouragement be giv- en the farming community to produce food for the consumption of the peo- ple of Great Britain and of that prob- HURON OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION OF TORONTO The annual picnic of the Huron O'ld Boys', Association of. Toronto was held on Area No. 2, Canadian Ex- hibition Grounds . on Wednesday, 19th inst., with'a good representation of the old time members present. The uncertainty of our fields of operation, due to the war, had the effect of keeping a great number of our peo- ple away, and seriously affecting our big attendance. The usual games and races were run off with military pre- cision, sron and everybody enjoyed them- selves. Some of those present were the following: Dr. and Mrs. J. G. Ferg- usan, Mr. H. M. Jackson, Dr, and t Mrs. G. F. Belden, Dr. and Mrs. H. d J. Hodgins, Messrs J. A. McLaren, E. Moody, D. D. Wilson, H. L. Mor- rish, Robt. Leiner, K. Stanbury, L. Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Wick- ens, Mr. and Mrs. John Moon, Mr. and Mrs. M. Scarlett, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Thomson, msot Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Sprinks, Mrs, I. H. Brown, Mrs. D. T. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. B. Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dickson, Mr., ,and Mrs. W. E. Hanna Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Ray, Mr. and Mrs. Mauthe, Mr. H: C. Sloan, Mr. W. H.

Judging by the blaring of horns and hand -clapping which followed, the Warden declared the resolution passed and copies will be forwarded to the proper authorities, Both mover and seconder spoke at some length to their resolution, Lieut: Col. Stewart of the Elgin Regiment expressed his appreciation of the splendid support received thus far from Huron men who had offer- ed their services. Bands from Brussels, Exeter, Wing - ham, Seaforth, Dashwood and Clinton played suitable music at intervals throughout the afternoon and again at the conclusion of the rally. ST. MARYS TIE COLTS, 1-1 SCORE St. Marys, the new entry in the Huron -Perth League this year made their first appearance here last even- ing and played a 1-1 tie with the Colts. St. Marys cml use Stratford players, and last night used four of them, Both teams played good ball, having few errors and many good fielding plays. From the start it was also a pitcher's battle between Dixon' and Bob Draper, St. Marys getting more hits but were unable to score. I Clinton's heavy hitters were Bert White and Sack Hawkins, White with two doubles. St. Marys .. 010 000 000-1 8 1 Clinton 000 001 000-1 5 1 Dixon and D'Amore; Draper and Colquhoun, The Colts now have a layoff until Friday, July 5th, but it is hoped that one of the postponed games can be Played, possibly at Lucile. COLTS HUMBLED 11-0 . BY HENSALL Although the game on Friday night went only seven innings, Tudor's baseball team from Hensall walloped Clinton here by the one-sided ecorel of 11-0. The defeat was just as crushing as the score and yet seems no indication of the strength of the two teams taking into consideration' the fact that in the opener in Hensall the score was 11-1 for Clinton. Cali it an off might or lack of practice, it was a poor night for Clinton. Errors were terrible as they have been in the few games played this season, sone of them unforgiv- able. Added to that Hensall brought along Carter Kerslake who dished up sous pitcl`n$ng the hone team could not fathom. Stock gave way to Tay- , or and their offerings were touched for seventeen. hits. All in all it was i a mighty poor exhibition by the home team. 1f they want crewels a lot of tightening up will have to be clone udging by the disgust we have heard from fans present, Officers Installed In Clinton Masonic Lodger The regular meeting of the Clinton lodge, A.F. and A.M.
