This church was built in 1860, by about six families, who were anxious• to have a place of worship in their community. The minister at the. time of the opening of the church was Rev. Cleghorn, and the first child (now .Mrs. A. Beaton - of. Clin- ton) to receive, the rites of baptism in the ehurch 80 years ago, was present at the service on Sunday morning, and also at the entertain- ment held in the church on Friday evening. At this entertainment a good pro- gram of music, both vocal and in- strumental, readings, and addresses by former residents •of the commun- ity were given. Mrs. Beaton gave a very 'interesting talk on the his- tory of the church from its begin- ning. The services on Sunday were held inthe and i' evening. The morningg church was nicely decorated with autumn flowers and foliage. Rev. J. W. Herbert of Dawn Mills, a former pastor, was the special speaker, de- livering inspiring sermons to large congregations at both services. Spec- ial music was rendered by the choir, and at the evening fervice Mrs. J. Bates sang a very pleasing solo. A. very generous thankoffering was re- ceived.' Many former residents were present at these special services. The members of this congregation wish to thank all those who have contributed to make this 80th anni- versary a success.

EVENING FROLIC The Clinton Branch of the Canad- ian Legion have decided to hold a frolic in the Town Hall on the even- ing of Oct. 11th. There has been a considerable demand made upon the funds of the Branch owing to the war, and it is felt that something shouldbe done for our boys who have gone overseas by way of send- ing comforts which are not provided in the army. By supporting this effort on, the art of the Legion you are helping. 'n a worthy cause which will be ap- n.e.eated by our boys overseas. THE HOME PAVE THE VOICE OF THE RED CROSS Last Sunday evening, Dr. Routley; national commissioner ,of the Caned - ion Red Cross told you that nearly two million dollars had been devoted to the purchasing of.; materials for the voluntary making of all types of supplies by 9,000 groups, of women in 'all parts of the country. He told you that not one article of these applies has ever beensold by the. Canadian Red Cross Society. I want to deal more fully with this, because undoubtedly you have t heard rumors about Reel Cross articles, such as socks, for instance, being sold. These rumors are false.. They aren't even new falsehoods. They are all carry-overs from the last war. And I'll give you a slogan which every loyal Canadian can adopt --• DON'T REPEAT 'RUMOR, Report it to your local Red Cross Branch or to Red 'roes headquarters.. During the past week we have done some investigating ourselves as the result of the prompt action of a Red Cross Branch in reporting a rumor to headquarter. This is the story that was circualting in a certain district. A private stationed at a large On- tario camy was short of socks, he went to the Red Cross depot at the camp and asked for four pairs. The in in charge arge said, "That will be a dollar, please." The private, so the story went, was prepared to take an affidavit on the truth of the state- ment, You can see for yourselves how untrue the story was when I tell you that the Red Cross has no depot at the camp in question and distributes its supplies only on indent of the Commanding Officers of military units. Nor has the Red. Cross any girl in charge of supplies at the camp. Comforts for the soldiers are distributed by an official mimed by the commanding officers. During the week, President Roose- velt of the United States felt it necessary to broadcast to his nation a warning against deliberate at- tempts being made to sabotage the work of the American Red Cross by the spreading of false rumors. In my talk Last Sunday I referred to sim- ilar rumors in this country, and promised that I would relate an ex- perience we had in the last war, Here it is! During the first Great War, rum- ors eland ring the Recl Cross became so widely circulated that we had to ask the police to make a nation-wide investigation, The chief source of these rumors was traced to a woman in the employ of the German Secret Service. She, herself, was a German. Her particular job was to undermine confidence in the Red Cross. Pos- sessing an attractive personality, she had cultivated the friendship of un- suspecting Canadians right across the country. And she was an extra - good correspondent. She wrote reg- ularly to her friends, scattered all over the Dominion, and in each let- ter was a casually -dropped rumor • about the Red Cross. I don't need to tell you how it progressed from there. That woman was arrested and interned. What I have told you is not just a story, it is an actual po- lice record. Red Cross Notes The ladies of our local society are very grateful to the members of the Clinton Lions Club, for their untir- ing efforts on their behalf. during the recent Street Fair and are pleas- ed to acknowledge a cheque for $537,50. The following donations are grate- fully received. The Huron County Fruit Grower's Association, ten dol- lars; Miss C. Parke, Toronto, fifty cents. During the past two weeks there have been three major demands made on the Canadian Red Cross: That of establishing ten convalescent hospi- tals in Canada, supplying 10,000 par- cels weekly to prisoners of war in Germany, and lastly, 500,000 articles of clothing for refugees in England. Through the generosity of our many societies and personal gifts from in- terested people in Clinton and com- munity, we hope to be able to do our shake in helping in this gigantic task. Thank you! Collision in Fog Sunday Morning • J. W. Norris of London was driving north on No. 4 highway on southern edge of. Clinton at Bayfield river bridge, when he was in almost head- on collision with a cal proceeding eouth driven by E. Cameron Boyd, London. The fog was exceptionally heavywith hardlyn visibility. any' vlstbrl ty. The crash resulted in both cars being severely damaged with fenders and wheels suffering. Passengers were all, but not seriously. injured. Chief Fremlin and Provincial. Officer Tay- lor investigated the crash. PATRIOTIC RALLY GODiRJCH Nearly 3,000: gathered at Menese- tung , Paris, adjoining Sky Harbor Airport, for a patriotic rally Sunday afternoon when the promotion and development of aviation in Canada, and particularly ie Huron County, was urged by prominent speakers as the quickest -and surest way of de- feating Hitler and Mussolini. It was the fourth big outdoor patriotic meeting• sponsored by the Huron County Council this summer. The "bpeakers included: Rev. Mr. Gallagher of Wingham; L. C. Car- diff, M.P., Brussels; Warden George Fea an • Flying in Officer g y g Off ter J. M. Roberts and Capt. Dr. Cargill, R. C. A. F. London. John R. Douglas, Kitchener; J. D. Thomas, Goderich, and Squadron Leader M. A. Seymour, R.C.A.F., St: Catharines, explained the operation of elementary flying schools such as Sky Harbor by a private company, to which the people of Huron County are being asked to contribute $35,000. Brussels Brass Band and Clinton Pipe Band provided the music and the weather was perfect. "The training of air pilots is the best contribution Canada can make to the empire war effort at this time. The mother country is expecting and waiting for them," said Mr. Cardiff. "Britain will win this war because sheds fighting for a just cause and because she has Christianity as an ally," Flying Officer Roberts told the audience. High tribute was paid by all speakers to the R.A.F.'for carry- ing on a gallant flight until more R.C.A.F. reinforcements in machines and pilots arrive. Capt. Cargill and Squadron Lead- er Seymour reminded that many Canadians now fighting with the R.A.F. are products of ctvil flying clubs in Canada. The Sky Harbor elementary school is a worthwhile project and puts Iluron County in the best position to service, they said. It is not a commercial, but a fine patriotic gesture, they contended. Clinton Bible Society A meeting of the Clinton Bible Society was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Vodden on Saturday night, Sept. 21st. It opened with a mayor by Rev. O'Neil, then the min- utes were read. The Secretary and treasurers report was read and ad- opted. The officers were compliment- ed on the excellent work accomplish- ed last year.

During the past two weeks there have been three major demands made on the Canadian Red Cross: That of establishing ten convalescent hospi- tals in Canada, supplying 10,000 par- cels weekly to prisoners of war in Germany, and lastly, 500,000 articles of clothing for refugees in England. Through the generosity of our many societies and personal gifts from in- terested people in Clinton and com- munity, we hope to be able to do our shake in helping in this gigantic task. Thank you!
