Councillor Paisley, chairman of the street committee, had no parti- cular report of work done but he stated that so far this year the com- mittee had expended $1,669.45. He said there was still some work which needed doing and, if any of the com- mittees had any surplus it could be expended with profit on the streets. None of the other chairmen of coni-_ , mittees, however, had their figures • ready, although requested by the mayor to be prepared to submit them at this meeting. But the general im- pression seemed to be that there were few surplusses. Mr. Lewis Proctor asked for a per- mit to•build a new porch to his house in Orange street, -which was granted on motion of Councillors Paisley and 'Livermore. Councillor Lawson of the Charity .committee reported that four heads • of families formerly on relief were still employed and he was hoping for the best from them. On motion of Councillors' Murdoch and Lawson it was decided to grant the use of the town hall for the memorial service on Remembrance • Day, `Nov. lith, that the council as- surae responsibilty for providing programs with the order • of service and that the clerk be instructed to insert a notice in the local press re- garding the service. Councillor Paisley' took on his old job . as, he read the financial report, • in the absence 'of finance minister, Reeve Elliott. This report was only accepted after the deletion of an item regarding payment of a bill for constable's- uniform, on motion of Councillors Murdoch and Cook. bbl - lowing is the report as accepted: Street Pay sheet . $14.80 T.

L.O.B.A. To Elect Officers The Clinton Lodge L.O,B.A. No. 377, will have election of officers at its regular meeting on Tuesday 'ev- ening, next, Nov. 10th. All members are requested to be present. This organization held a very pleasant social evening on Monday last, when the members and some in- vited friends enjoyed a few games of euchre, a little bit of dancing and a social hour over refreshments pro- vided by the members. A Farewell Presentation On Monday evening a number of the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lonsway gathered at the home of Mr, and Mrs. R. McDonald, to spend a social evening with the latter before their departure from town. Before its close Reeve G. H. Elliott called the company to order P Y and read an address to Mr. and Mrs. Lonsway and Mrs. Lonsway was pre- sented with a beautiful linen table cloth. Mr. and Mrs. Lonsway left the following day for Toronto, where they have decided to make their home. The following is the address: "Mr. and Mrs, Lonsway and family: Dear friends -We your neighbours and friends having., recently learned that you are moving from our midst, we feel that we cannot let this op- portunity pass without assembling here tonight to say farewell to you. You have always 'proved yourselves good citizens and always kind and courteous, ever ready to lend a help- ing hand in time of need. There is one consoling feature about your move and that is that you are not going very far and we will look for- ward' or- war with much pleasure to seeing you when you return to visit your Clinton . friends, so we wish you health, happiness and prosperity in your new home. We know that you will make many new friends in the city, but none more sincere than the ones you are leaving, so we would ask you to ac- cept this small token of remem- brance not for its value, but to prove to you in a small way the high es- teem in which you are held. -Signed, your neighbours." Buy A Poppy On Nov. 7th This past summer Canada remem- bered her war dead in so inspiring a fashion -the memorial itself, the Pil- grimage of veterans and mothers and wives, the participation of the King, the President of the French Republic, the Prime Minister -that every Can- adian must feel pride in a duty so wholly and beautifully done. Some expression of that feeling is very likely to be made by Canadians on November 11th this year, when, with the appeal of the Poppy Fund, the opportunity is given to render some measure of gratitude to those who, one might say, fell in the war but did not die. For that, in effect, is what happen- ed to marry thousands of Canadian young men. Wounded, damaged in body and spirit, these multitudes of our fellowmen ` have survived' twenty years of pain and handicap, of dis- tress, frustration and disappointment in the daily race of life, regardless of all the help government and mun- icipalities can devise for them. On the base of the indescribably beauti- ful memorial on • Vimy iclge, there are carved in the solid stone the names of the 11.283 Canadian sol- diers whose bodies have never been found, whose names do not appear on a headstone in any of the numerous Canadian cemeteries scattered over France and Flanders. Thus no man is .forgotten. The Poppy Fimd, inso- far as the funds it can raise permit, has attempted to see that no man of those living be forgotten. The things government cannot'' undertake' t o supply, clothing, fus'niture the simple amenities of comfort in a home, are the routine provisions of the Poppy Fund. It, also meets certain kinds of emergencies medical and ` domestic, its work is practically .all"voltmtary. It tries to be, on behalf of its count- less contributors on Poppy Day, the good Samaritan to the forgotten frin- ges of the veteran problem. The Canadian Legion which con- ducts the campaign in. Canada is on- ly one unit of the British Empire Service League, which, on. November llth, in its world-wide associations in the British Empire, is selling pop- pies to follow Britishers in every cor- ner of the globe. The British peoples have their various national holidays and red .letter days, but in the gift, you snake. on Poppy Day, you are sharing in a duty universally,British. THE HOME PAPE Remembrance Day Service A community service will be held this year as in the past in the town hall on Remembrance Day morning, commencing' at 10 a.m. This is a community service to which all are invited. Do You Want To know About Bees? The Huron County Beekeepers are meeting in Clinton tomorrow, Friday, afternoon, when they will, no doubt, do a lot of sweet talking, as their cal- ling in life gives them license to do. But in the evening they intend put- ting on in the Collegiate auditoriums a moving picture on bees, which is said to be both educative and inter- esting. To this meeting the public is invited and there is no admission fee.. You can go up, get a whole lot of information about bees and their habits and accomplishments, also get an evening's entertainment, and all for nothing. The keeping of bees, we have always understood, is a most in- teresting occupation and this picture ought to be worth seeing. Hallowe'en Frolics Marred • By. Rains The weather man was anything but kind to the youth of the land who had planned a big night on Hallowe'en. A steady rain carne down most of the evening. This didn't prevent a number of boys and girls from dressing up and calling upon their neighbors and friends, however. Little witches and big, queer looking little elfish crea- tures, with false faces and bedraggled clothing, called at respectable houses, were received with kindness and cour- tesy and treated to the best in the house. It is the .one night in the year when such things can happen, anti no- body is the worse for it, unless some- one caught cold from wet feet. A few pranks were played but noth= ing of much consequence. It is chit- drens' night and had it been finerit Would have been more enjoyable.

But to return. blind, maimed, insane or mute, A lingering trade mof d brute. Why do wars come closearls on the depressionwattlor's heel? - Must greed for money make the hungry kneel And gladly take up arms to earn their bread? Forgotten are those heaps of putrid dead; A hundred million such could not redress The wrongs that wars in justice' name express. If war must be, then let them do their part Who for gain have given wars their start; Save the front rank 'for them who foster war; Put those they love behind them (not too far), The propagandist, he should lead the rest That some hate -laden bullet find his breast. Then, not till then, shall bloody warfare cease. And men devoid of hate find lasting peace. - -By W, C. HUNTER, In The Legionary. Death Of Mrs. B.

We know he has, although we have never visited it, because we have on more than one occasion eaten of the fruit of it. Yesterday we had fresh proof of this when he sent in to us a basket of Spies, our favorites a- mong winter apples. They were a fine sample, large and well colored, as many have seen for we have them in our window. In a six quart bas- ket there are just sixteen apples, eight in each layer, and the top lay- er is standing mostly over the top of the basket. These are the finest Spies we have seen this year but if anyone thinks he has, any better we are filling to compare them, on the same terms, Little Locals Poppy Day this year will be held' on Saturday, Nov. 7th.

Spiritual Conference Of Huron Presbytery The minister n e s and laymen of Hu- ron Presbytery held a spiritual con- ference in Wesley -Willis church on. Tuesday, at which about fifty were present. The movement "The Evan- gelization of Canadian Life," was the matter in the minds of those. gathered together. The chairman of Presbytery, Rev. Chas. Cumming of Walton, presided and led a devo- tional period and gave a brief spiri- tual talk. Rev. A. W. Sheppard of Egmond ville, chairman of the Presbytery committee on evangelism and social. service, was the first speaker and he stressed the need of the Church a- wakening to the fact that an increase• in evangelism is necessary, to coun- teract the materialism and militar- ism which is now so prevalent. At the morning session the Rev. IC- McGoun of the Clinton Anglican parish and Rev. W. G. Bugler of the• Bayfield Anglican parish, were pre- sent and each spoke briefly, expres-• sing their sympathy with the move - tient. After the adjournment for dinner,. which was prepared and served by' the Women's Association of the, church in which the gathering was' held, addresses were given by the• Rev. J, W. Herbert of Holmesville,. and Rve. Il. J. Mahoney of Brussels,. The conference broke up into Pout- groups during the afternoon, when: discussions on different topics were carried on, the spokesman of each group afterwards reporting to the, whole conference. It seemed to be felt that there must be on the part of the ministers themselves a "put-, ting of first things first." Then it. was suggested that in each church there should be a smaller group of people ready for complete consecra- tion. onsecration. The minister should have the full co-operation of the session in :this regard. i It was suggested also that these groups might meet together with. shitilar groups from other churches • in each community. Prayer and fel- lowship with God should he central in the thoughts of such groups, then in enlarging' circles the movement.. should reach the masses, The spirit of fellowship in evi- dence at tine close of this one day' of consecration proved the value of getting together with only one ob- ject in mind, spiritual communion. with God.
