The ehair was taken by the vice- president, Mr. E. F. Klopp of Zurich, in the absence of the president, and routine business was conducted. The treasurer's report showed a balance in hand.

The moving picture, "The Realm of the Honey Bee,"' was also shown as it was in the Collegiate Auditorium in the evening, when the public was invited. This filen showed the honey bee gathering honey, building comb. and also showed the work•of extract- ing the .honey, etc, and was a most instructive and picture., The pity was that the attendance was' not larger, owing to other- attrac- tions on that date.

One Of First Inmates Still In Home Forty-one years ago the Huron House of Refuge, now called Huron County Honie, was opened and one of the first to enter, Wesley Sutton, is still an inmate. He came as a young man of twenty, driving up from Exeter with a horse and buggy. He should certainly be dean of the house. There are now ninety residents in the Home. During the first year there were fifty-three, so that it can- not be said to have been unnecessary. The highest number ever' accommo- dated dated at one time was one hundred and twenty-two, which happened in 1916. The Home and farm are thriftily and well managed by Manager Jacob and his good wife, who is head Mat- ron. The residents, many of them un„in years, are carefully looked af- t& by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob and staff, and the farm is worked so as to show a profit at the end of the year, Mana- ger Jacob specializing in bacon hogs, which have been bringing in a good price even when other farm commo- dity prices slumped:' Another Remembrance Day, Observed In Clinton Yesterday was Remembrance Day, and the day was observed in Clinton by a well -attended service at ten o'clock in the town hall and by the decoration of the memorial tablet at the postoffice by the representatives' of the town council and many other organziations in town. The service, arranged by the Legion and the Ministerial Association, op- ened with Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, pres- ident of the Ministerial Association, in the chair, and with him on the platform; Mayor Holmes, Rev. IC. (Major) McGoun, Rev. G. G. Burton, Rev. G. W. Sherman, Rev. Dr. Dougan, and Capt, Bonar. Printed programs had been provid- ed and after the call to worship by the chairman the hymn, "0 God Our Help,” was sung, the Citizens band, under the direction of Mr. Morgan Agnew, leading. The 90th Psalm was read responsively and Capt. Bonar led. in prayer. After another hymn Dr. Dougan read the New Testament les- son, Rev. 7:7-17. "For All the Saints" was sung and Rev. Mr. Burton, who was a chaplain in the Great War, gave the address. ' Mr. Burton recalled some of the, incidents of the war, and dwelt upon the patience of those who did not die but who are still suffering • from the effects of their sacrifice. "These men will not forget," he said. "We may not think much of their sacrifice between Remembrance Day and Re- membrance Day, but they cannot for- get." The first year or so, people went al- most mad with joy that thewar was over, but a new spirit has come over the day. It is now a day' of solemn remembrance of those who fell and thought of those who are still suffer- ing as a result of the war. The na- tions, he thought, had made poor use of the years since the. Armistice or there would not be so much < talk of another' war. At the conclusion of the address the bell tolled, " Bugler • Mitch sounded the Last Post, two minutes of silence was observed as ,the people stood, the Reveille was sounded, Rev. G. W. Sherman pronounced the benediction and the people filed out. The returned men, who hadoecu- pied the' centre seats, headed by the band in. uniform, followed by the mayor and reeve, the Ladies' Auxil- iary, the representatives ofother or- ganizations, then marched to the post - office where the tablet: was decorated. The Province of Ontario, the Town of Clinton, the Legion, the Ladies' Auxiliary, Women's Institute, I.O.O. F., L.O.L., L.O.B.A., Rebekah's, and School children were among the or- ganizations placing wreaths. Then the Legion and others, paraded past the tablet.

Glad to be able to report that Mr. Bill Townshend, who has been ill the past few weeks, is progressing nice- ly. Hope to soon see him out and around again. Annual Meeting Of Hospital Association Financial Management To Be Taken Over By Committee of Men. The annual meeting of the Clinton Hospital Association was held in the council chamber on Tuesday after- noon of last week, with a good re- presentation of members and visitors present. Very satisfactory reports were giv- en byall committees. Mr. Manning, treasurer, reported a balance on hand and also that the semi-annual payments on the mort- gage have all been paid. Mr. Fingland reported that the management of the financial end of the hospital was going to be taken over by a new board, consisting of ten men, namely: the Reeve and Mayor, two doctors, appointed by the Medical staff and six others from a- mong duly qualified members or sub- scribers to the Association. A. hearty vote of thanks was ex- tended to Miss Grainger for the untir- ing way she had worked through all these years, since she has been sup- erintendent, and also to Miss Sin- clair, for the very capable way in which she had taken hold of things since Miss Grainger's illness.

She, had been out to church on the Sunday evening before and did not complain of illness until Tuesday, and even then it was thought that she would soon rally, but her condi- tion continued to grow more serious •until the end came.
