Much of it comes from the savings of ordinary mea and women—the thrifty people of Canada—the savers.

BAYFIELD The following taken from the May issue of The Legionary and written by the Editor refers to one who as a "son of the Manse" spent some of his boyhood days in Bayfield while his father, Rev. John MacNeil, was Pas- tor ofj St Andrews Presbyterian church: "It all carte with a sudden- ness that brought half-forgotten Great War Memories back into sharp focus. Just three weeks ago MacNeil .paid a farewell visit to the Legion- aryis editorial office. He was leav- ing' the next day for - `tan E•ast- THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE 5 Coast Canadian Port" in his native province to sail for England, Ile spoke how keenly he was looking for- ward to joining Dr, Chatwin and the other educational officers in their great work among our men overseas. It was his duty he felt, to make his teaching exaerience availableto his younger comrades, even though it meant leaving his wife and three children, and a well-established posit- ion. Its a week the news came, In the terse, official language of the Admir- alty it stated that 122 passengers on an east -bound ship from Canada were missing "as a result of enemyac- tion." John MacNeil was one 'of them. Front United States news sourees it twos later learned that the ship was the Nerissa, of the Furness Withy Line, and that she went down 55 miles off the north_ coast of Ire- land. Up to the time of going to press nothing had been released as to whether she was sunk by enemy sub- marine ' or bomber. Only 35 passen- gers were listed as survivors, and all but eight were wounded. John Mac - Neil's cabin mates, Sam Robertson of the Canadian Press and Dr. W. Allan, Dominion Agricultural Com- missioner, were also missing. Many splendid Canadian Iives had been snuf- fed out by lurking Teutonic barbar- ians. John MacNeil was born 45 years ago in. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where his 87 year old father is still living, unaware as yet , of his s'on's fate. During the Great War he en- listed twice in the C.E.F.—first, in the 85th, Nova Scotia Highlanders from which he was invalided home, and then in the 8th Siege Battery, Canadian Artillery, with which he served in France and Flanders. For the past year he has been a Lieut- enant in the 2nd Battalion, The Cam- non Highlanders of Ottawa. A graduate of Dalhousie University Mr. MacNeil became a teacher •on bis return from overseas. For the past seven years he was mathematics piaster and phys. training instructor at the Ottawa Glebe Collegiate, from which he received leave of absence to join the overseas educational staff of Canadian Legion War Services. Cheerful, modest tactful and efficient, he will be sorely missed by his friends and comrades, and sincere, heartfelt sympathy will go out to Mrs. MacNeil and the three children—all under ten years of age—and to his brother, Mr. Grant C. MacNeil, of Vancouver, Dominion Secretary of the 'old G.W.- V,A. former M.P. and new Dominion Organizer of the GCS. Another man who spent some of his boyhood days in Bayfield and who is very well known in this district in the person of John Townsend, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Town- send of Goderich Township, was al- so lost on the same boat. He was serving itt the Canadian Militia with rank of Colonel and reverted to Maj- or in the Active Forces with the Art- illery. He further reverted to Ad- jutant Captain in an Anti Aircraft Battery, to go, on a special Mission overseas, He is survived by his wife the former Mabel Crich of Tucker - smith, three sons' and a daughter to whom the sympathy of all is extend- ed, Mr. Ernest Townsend of Goder- ich Township, Canon Wm. Townsed, of London and Mr, Alvin Townsend of Toronto are brothers. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Orr of Stratford and NIr. and Mrs. Bruce Stapleton of Toronto are at the Orr cottage this week. Dr. and Mrs. E.

PORTER'S HILL The regular meeting of the Red Cross will be held Monday, 16th, in the basement of the church; a bale of knitted articles will be packed, also a box of pyjamas and hospital supplies. x The Red Cross asked for a collect- ion of salvage from among their own helpers the same to be left at John Torrances. This proved a splendid success as over $50 worth of salvage was received and picked up by a truck. A lot of comforts can be bought with that fifty dollars; and each farm is better of the cleaning up of junk. The sympathy of the whole com- munity is with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Powell and family in the sudden pass- ing of their daughter, Mrs. John Clements, near Goderich, who passed away Monday evening with a heart attack after only a few minutes.
