ed "the badly decomposed body of
a man had been found in the banks
of the C'onnemaugh river, There was
nothing about the body by which it
could be identified but a parcel had
been picked up a short distance away
containing a photograph of Dick Fos-
ter. late of Clinton, a copy of the by-
laws of Clinton Oddfellows' lodge
showing that Richard Horton had
been initiated in 1885 when Mr, Will-
iam Jones was Noble Grand and the
late John Callender, Vice Grand.
There was also a letter of recommen-

ard Horton mentioned here lived in
Clinton several years, his father had
charge of the semaphores at the

NAVY LEAGUE TAG DAY,
SATURDAY, JUNE 7T1.1
The Ontario Division of the Navy
League of Canada is holding its Tag
Day in Clinton on Saturday, June 7th,
and it surely behooves us, as patriotic
citizens of a community allowed to
live in peace by grace of the brave
arms of our fathers and brothers now
serving at sea. on land and in the air,
to do all in our power to support this
increasingly active war service org-
anization, Fel, if we do not help
the Navy League, how ;can it, in turn,
help those whom we all hold dear—
our defenders ?
Since the very first day of War the
Navy League, which incidentally was
able to supply several thousand three
quarter trained men for the Navy,
Army' and Air Force immediately
FOR EVERY CANADIAN who sails the deep, for every
airman who flashes through. the skies, and for every
other naan in the fighting forces, the prayers of
the nation "rise like a fountain, night and day."
In times of crisis our people stand steadfast. In
daily devotions they renew the flame of faith and
arm with unseen powers their warriors in the field.
Oftentimes they discern the Unseen Hand.
Witness the miracle of Dunkirk, Witness, too, in
the darkest hours the emergence of great inspiring
figures to steady the ranks of Democracy and fire
its courage and confidence.
Church bells are ringing throughout Canada
calling men and women to worship and sacrifice
in defence of our freedom, the sanctity of our
homes and the future of our children.

through its Sea Cadet movement,
maintained in peace as well as war,
has been, serving the men of the Roy-
al Canadian Navy, the Canadian
Merchant Services and the Royal
Navy through its "comforts stations"
or hostels at all Canadian ports. Hom-
es from home where men, straight
from the horrors of war, the lonelin-
ess and boredom of daily and nightly
watches, the strain of being contin-
ually on the alert, on the defensive or
offensive, do find, recreational facil-
ities. places to refurnish their ward-
robe and refresh their minds. Places
where woollen garments to offset ex-
posure, cigarettes, playing cards,
music, a friendly atmosphere, a meet-
ing place to meet one's friends are,
available twenty-four hours a day.
The men leave Navy hostels as giants
refreshed when leave expires. The
personnel, of our naval services, ac-
cording to the recent announcement
of the Minister of Naval At1faii+s has
grown to ten times its original size
since the beginning of War. Last
year the Ontario Division of the Navy
League 'sent; out $100,000 worth of
knitted goods and, ditty bags to our
naval men. This year the demand is
so heavy that goods and comforts
are being sent to them in thrice the
voila/ire of last years' supplies. Naval,
hostels everywhere are asking for
more of everything.
Our taggera are angels of mercy
asking for money to enable the Navy
League to carry on its glorious work,
and linking our town up definitely
with the Empire's war effort.
We must not ignore the tagger's
otttstreached hands for they form the
first link in the chain that ;stretches
from Clinton to our brave men of the
seas, carrying our small but concrete
"thank you" for the tremendous ser-
vice they are doing in protecting and
serving usi
