Fifty-fifth Annual Meeting The fifthy-fifth annual business meeting of the Huron, Presbyterial Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada was held in Clinton Prebyterian church on Wednesday, January 8th, with morning and afternoon sessions. Rep- resentatives were present from Au- burn, Blyth, Clinton,.Godericli, Exeter Hensel' and Seaforth,• The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs, J. McTavish of Seaforth, fol- lowed by prayer by the president of the Presbyterial, Mrs. 'II. Jock of Seaforth. The presidents New Year message was based on the words, "The Lord went before them in a pillar of cloud by day." Referring to the Children of Israel the speaker said, "They real- ized how much they needed guidance, and their great need brought them in close touch' with God, We, too, need guidance in these difficult times, when our faith is challenged by the power of a'vil in the world of today. We, too, may find that God is behind the clouds that overshadow us, and that HIe is able to snake all things work together for good," "Mnay calls will come to us," said the speaker, "for war work, and we must do all we can to help; but we must not allow the work of our church and W.M.S. to suffer. If we could on- ly realize that our offerings are not just going to pay a worker's salary, but to bring new hope to the lepers, to ]seal the sick, to raise the fallen, and to care for the little children, just as our Lord did when He was here on earth, surely our prayers and our gifts would be offered gladly to sup- ply all that is needed. As we look back we can see that we have made mis- takes, and left undone things that we ought to have done. In the coming year, forgetting those things that are behind, may we press forward to more consecrated service for the Master,' Lr presenting the annual report, the secreatary, Mrs. M. A. Ried of Sea- forth, stated that in Huron Presby- tery there are eleven senior auxilar- ies, one young women's auxiliary, one girls group, six mission bands, one missionary club and 182 home helpers, Two exeeutive meetings were held during the year, a mission band con- ference, and the fall rally at Heiman. No sectional meetings were changed by the various auxiliaries and these proved both helpful and enjoyable. One fiftieth anniversary was celebrat- ed during the year; this was the sen- sor auxiliary of Carmel Presbyterian church, Hensall. In the absence of the mission hassrl secretary, Mrs. W.

Mobile Reeruitin ,t Plan The Royal Canadian Air Force has recently inaugurated ,what is called a "Mobile Recruiting Pian," Seven- teen "mobile" units throughout Can- ada operate from 'their Reeruitiug Centres and regularly visits eities and i towns in the district for the purpose of interviewing those who are inter- ested in joining the R,G.A.F. Two chief factors prompted this shove. The first of these was to ob- tain a greatly increased number of potential airmen and skilled trades- men; the other wasto eliminate the necessity 'of prospective recruits travelling long distances to an R.C. A.F. Recruiting Centre. Gearing of the Air training Cent- res of Canada to Thigh speed made it necessary to have on file_agreatly augmented nuntber of prospective re- cruits. These are divided into two classes: (1) Air Crews, including Pilots and Observers, Air Gunners and Wireless Operators. (2) Tradesmen, including Acre - Engine Mechanics, Airframe Mech- anics, Instrument Makers, Raclio Mechanics, Cooks, Fabric Workers and other skilled tradesmen. Age limit requirements for Pilots are 18 to.30-inclusive, and applicants must have Junior Matriculation. Wireless Operators; A.ir Gunners, 18-31 inclusive; two years High School, Married men are acceptable in the trades but not for Air Craws at the present time. Age limit for tradesmen is 18 to 46 years, and qualifications are ,High School en trance, and at least a working know- ledge of the trade. All applicants presenting them- selves for enlistment should be able toproduce proof 'of age, proof of education, and two letters of refer- ence, from responsible parties, add- ressed to the R.C.A.F. Married ap- plicants should' have their Marriage Certificate and .proof of age of all ;children. Interviewing officers will. be in the Coun'ciI Chambers, Clinton from 12 noon till '8 P.M.

CLINTON FEED MILL CLINTON, ONTARIO In The Letter Box Letter From England The following letter of appreciat- ion was sent to Ex -Mayor Ken G. Waters from Pte. Lightfoot, who is now serving in England. Somewhere in England, Dec. 9, 1940 Dear Friends of Clinton: Just a few lines to let you know that I received your cigarettes and Christmas Box okay. We sure appreciate these kindnesses from our neighbors and friends, as we are going to have a lonely Christmas a- way from our family. Life even here is not too bad, the weather is wet but we have many privileges as the Can- adian Legion gives us a show twice a week, I have not much news this time but 1 will appreeate it if you will put this letter in The Clinton News -Record so that my thanks may be conveyed to my friends of Clinton where I hope some day to come back tb. It certainly cheers us up to have the backing of our friends at home and we know we are fighting for a ecurtry that is assuredly God's count- ry where we live on Love and Goo 1 Fellowship, so may God's blessing at- tend the citizens of Clinton, also the Mayor and council this Christmas. Here's wishing the hockey team every success this winter. Sis8erely yours, Pte. A. Lightfoot, A3906 C.A.S.F. R.C.R. 1st Infantry Iiolding Unit, Base P. 0. Canada. Blyth, Jan. llth, 1041 Clinton News -Record: I feel confident that many of your readers would be glad to know just what w: are doing in drilling the well on the Bert Allen farm in Hallett Township, The well is down 1590. feet the water cased off and every- thing in good shape to save the oil when we get it. We have had a little raving its the well which might cause trouble at any time and we had to shut down till we got another string of casing to pre- vent this caving. This required more money and we have succeeded in securing the neces- sary capital and we are now waiting for the casing. We have had diffieul- ty in getting .casing on account of the Government using so much steel we could not get nese stuff for weeks, We have:; what we want and it will soon be delivered now when we will get going again. We are just coining into the top of the Guelph formation where most of the oil being produced in Ontario is found. We have succeeded in securing the new capital on the same terms as what has been subscribed, We haws the best 61 equipment and drillers and everybody has been working to- gether to make this a real test. We should drill into the producing form- ation anytime now and I feel confid- ent 'We will get what we are drilling for. signed, W. Innes Paterson. Seattle, Wash., Jan, 1941 Dear sirs: Please find enclosed our donation for another year, We see you have been having some winter back home in our old town, would very inich like to take a trip back and see our old acquaintances but I am afraid that they are a very few as it was in 1898 that we left Clinton. We have' been, having very good weather here in Seattle, the warmest place in the state; had a little white frost 3 or 4 weeks ago and the last 2 weeks it got down to 85 dg. at nights and ups to 66dg. the day before yesterday, but we niigiit have some winter yet !ss we have nearly two months yet but the last three winters, we have had no snow and today is just like spring. Buds are quite green on many of our garden plants, shocks, roses etc., and the grass is conning right along. We have a city of 450,000 and a lively place it is. Boeing Aereplana 2 plant employs about 9,000 and expects to double that in a year and then there are the ship yards which employ a great number. There are hundreds of people conning here from the east and middle west and are finding it rathr a tough place to find employ- ment as it is not opening up as fast as the people are coining in. The U.S.A. have bean building a dam here in the state across the Columbia River. It is the largest structure on earth built by man and was reported it had been building for six years and employs from 2 to 4 thousand men hi the winter and from 5 to 7 thousand in summer. The top is .nearly a mile long and 30 to 36 feet wide at the top; and '735 feet high and will form a lake of 150 miles long from the dam to the Canadian horded and will cost approximatey. 175 million"doilars. We have another floating bridge here in the city across Lake Washing- ton, built of concrete. I think it is about 30 pontoons by 320 feet long by 66 feet wide and 14 feet deep. An- chored and bolted together. Come out and we will show you. Sincerely yours, Jaynes Watters.
