in the Town Hall last Thursdayeven-
ing. The meeting was under the
chairmanship of Mayor George H.
Elliott.
Mr. E. J. Smith of Stratford, a
member of the Provincial Society or
Red Cross, was the special speaker.'
Mr. Smith gave a brief but interest-
ing history of. incidents that led to.
the formation,of the Red Groes So-
ciety, and also stated what work was
caried on in peace time and wartime.
Later, during the election of officers,
Mr, Stnit7i had invaluable advice and
suggestions,' which enabled the local
unit to farm itself easily, without un-
due misunderstanding. Those presene
were asked to co --operate with their
committees and to bring others. Rev.
Father Sullivan was present and
spoke interestingly of his recent trip
to Europe and incidents that occur-
red on the trip. He quoted Mr.
Chamberlain, in saying that we were
fighting evil things.
When it was first thought that e
Red Coss unit would be formed in
Clinton, the men and women decided
to farm one branch. Then it was
learned that most branches elected
lathy officers, with the men forming
themselves into a finance committee.
In order to follow in the same way,
a few changes were trade in the slate
of officers, submitted by the conn-
mittee.
On Monday afternoon, the ladies
met in the Council Chamber, with
over fifty • in attendance. Mrs.
Thompson, the president was in the
chair. The purpose of this meeting
was to compose the committees for
work. The enthusiasm of the meet-
ing was evident in the fact that many
volunteered their services in various
capacities. Committees were also
formed for each ward, These ladies
are going to canvas the town. It
was felt that many would be inter-
ested in the work, willing to work at
home, if they could not attend the
meetings. Therd is a fee of 26 cents,
which entitles one into membership
in the local branch.
The next meeting is to be October
16th in the Council Chamber, begin-
ning at two o'clock. Meetings are
to be held weekly for the present.
Officers and committees for the
Clinton Branch of the Red Cross arc
