Smyth of Clinton, passed away at. the age of thirty-eight years, Mr. Smyth had undergone an op- eration for appendicitis when Com- plications set in and death resulted.

COUNCIL S•PONSEQLS CONCERT May the 6th has been proclaiined a holiday by the ,Governor-General and will be celebrated ail over Canada in conjunction with the rest of the Em- pira in honor of the 26th Anniversary of King George's assent to the throne. King George, true to character, wanted the celebration to accomplish some good,.so he. has.asked that his subjects throughout the lsbnpire, in celebrating his Jubilee year, dedicate, all moneys collected to help fight cancer. The Clinton Town Council, at a recent meeting decided to arrange for a Community Concert which will be held in the Town Ball, enthe ev- ening of Monday, May 6th. This eon - cert promises, to ba, very entertaining and of a high standard as the choirs, of the different churches in town, a- long" with the public school, Colla - grate and Band, are supplying the numbers. There will be a collectioin which. will be forwarded to the King George Jubilee Cancer Fund to be used. in Canada. A full program of this concert will be in next weeks paper: FINE WORK DONE HERE On learning that a representative of the Banner Knitting Machine Company of Pawtucket, R,I., had been in town and had taken some samples from the Clinton Knitting Company's stock for an exhibition at Philadel- phia next week, a representative or The News -Record dropped into the factory yesterday morning to see what it -was alt about. And n we saw. Usually when one thinks of the knitting factories one'. thinks of those long, sleezy silk hose which go to adorn, hardly to protect, the limbs of lovely ladies, but did you ever see the numerous sorts and con- dithers of hose whirzh are knitted for men? Well, we got a surprise. Deo ,nen like gay hosiery? if they do not somebody is going to have a job dip- ping alt those gay ones we saw into dye vats of sober grey orblack But we doubt if all those gay ones would have been made up unless there was to be a market for them. A new half hose is being turned out which caught the eye immediate- ly. It is made in several colors and in a neat,, small diamond pattern. It is just being introduced. Any lady Who is in doubt as to what to give her father, brother, husband or son for Christmas 'should keep this .in mind. A pair .or, two . or a half dozen pairs, would : be just the thing. Then there are larger patterns hi bath gay and, sober colors, as well as plain white, black and grey with a clock up the ankle. These are :of purest wool, fine enough for baby's sacks. And then there are silk of quiet shades and 'some of brighter colors. These plain, silk sox of•light shades are the favorites with the Jamiaca trade, which takes a lot of the Clinton stuff, and besides' this arehose for children and .ankle ;+sox for boys and girls and adults, . one style of girls' ankle sox has an elas- tic at the. top. Altogether there is a bewildering array of as nice work as you could infagine. And the representative from the . machine manufacturing_. plant, who had visited allthe big knitting factories looking for •pro - duets to exhibit as the work .of -their machines said. he hadn't seen any- thing better anywhere and took a full line of sanilples. If you should happen to be in .Philapiclehia next week you might drop in and see them on exhibition. "0f course." remarked Col Conine, president of the ;Clinton ,Knitting •Co., "'we' should be able to do as good work' as anyone. This is one of the oldest knittingestablishments in Canada: There are only two or three older than this.' But let it be old or young, this Clinton industry can turn out, a very tine class of goods; and themachines as'e working ;night and day in an en deavor to fi11 orders. JUNIOR INSTITUTE MEETING The first regular' meeting of the Junior Wom"en?s Institute .Will be held tonight in the •Board Room of the Dept. of Agriculture office. All girls interested are cordially invited to attend the meeting. TO IMPROVE PARK At the Businessmen's ',Association meeting Monday evening the .matter. of . park 'improvement ;t was discussed and it was decided to tear down the old bandstand at the Park. The best of the timlber will be' saved to build a house for the' town machinery. ' This work will be done on_May 6th which will be a holiday, andtIse the ground where trees are to be planted in the fall will be made ready for them, RECTOR I"LL BUT ON MEND - -. It is a matter for regret that the Rev, K. McGoun, rector of St. Fault church, is still unable tb attend to his work owing to illness.'

Miss Mason is a daughter of Air. and Mrs: T. E. Mason, Summerhill, and a graduate of the. C.C.I.: "Due largely to Miss Marion Mas- on's portrayal of the leading char- acter rola ,of bradenioiselle Rose, in the play, "The Lord's Prayer," the young people of North Ridge United Church, were awarded first place in the semi-final competition of biblical dramas, for Essex Presbytery as Central United Church last night In this city. Other contestants were Sandwich and Leamington. The task of the North Ridge young. dramatists was made doubly difficult by their lack of scenery,, but the' characterizations were so brilliantly enncted, that the lack of scenic ef- fects was overcome. "The Lord's Prayer" was a simple tale of the revolutionary days of France; and the hatred that was bred in the heart of a young French lady, when her brother was shot down in the streets during a Parisian riot. Miss Mason's role was a highly dramatic' one, that necessitated a constant hysterical, deeply, dramatic pitch, as in her grief she denounced God and her religion, and cursed the rebels for causing. her brother's death, Through prayer however, she regains a rational out- look on life. There seemed nothing of the amateur in Miss M'ason's per- formance. Before an audience of more than 1000 people the young people of North Ridge proved their right to go into ham.the" finals to be held at Chat - LITTLE, LOCALS The schools close today for the Easter vacation period. Mr. Arthur Pulford has rented the garden lot on Spencer street belong- ing to Mrs. W', . Cole. Mrs. Brooks of Rattenbury street had the misfortune to fall and frac- ture a limb on Tuesday. Mrs: Wne Morrison and family of Hallett • have 'taken Mr. George Jack= son's' house in Maple street. A hieeting'of the County Legion was held an Clinton on Thematic last, making arrangements for the Reun- ion, which' will be. held here Aug. 3-4-5. The,Huronic Rebekah Lodge met Monday,, when they had their second official' visit., from D. D: President Huester of Stratford, who gave- • an. interesting address. - A reader from ont of,tawn•writes "More power to your Poet's' Corner,, its 'a: unique and distinguished: fea-; tune and very. much'enjoyed:" Thanks; glad Es know it is appreciated.. Mr. A. S. Inkley has accepted the agency of the` North American Life Insurance. Company. Mr. Inkley .has had, some ,experience in selling 'fnsur ante and should make a goof this.

Paterson, which got a shot in the neck while visiting a farmer's premises one day last week is able to be out again, although still ' carrying around some lead'. Danny received as much atten- tion after his "accident" as anyone would, even having' an X -Ray taken, to locate the bullet, which had struck a bone and split. His condition would not allow of a probe after the lead but it may be removed' yet, if • it proves troublesome. Danny is a well- known citizen and many would have regretted it had the shot proved fatal. LIKES NEWS PROM HOME The following is an extract from a letter The News -Record received from Mir. J. E. (Ed,.) Shepherd, Toronto, when sending bis suhscription renew- al: "Just a line to let you know how much -I enjoy getting the news of my old home town through your paper, also allow me to offer my congratula- tions to the Clinton Hockey team on their splendid showing this winter. I. believe this is the first time any Clinton team ever went to the finals and it is a great credit to them as well as very •good advertising for the old town." H. AND S.

Blest they 'who seek While in their youth, With spirit meek, The way of truth; To them the sacred Scriptures now display Christ as the only true and living way- ' His precious blood on - Calvary was given. To make them heirs ,of endless bliss• in heaven; And E'en _on earth the child of God can trace, The glorious 'blessings of His Saviour's grace.. For then He bore His Father's frown; For them He wore The thorny Grown; Nailed to the 'Cross, Endured its pain, That His life's loss Might be their gain. Then haste to choose That better part, Nor dare refuse The"'Lord thy heart,: Lest He declare, "I know you not," And deep despair ` Should be your lot. Now look to Jesus, who on Calvary died, And trust on Him alone who there was crucified. A. sy GOES TO TORONTO MEETING Mrs. G.
