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 as follows: Mrs. F.
