RED CROSS E T'S
The following parilgraphs are ex-
tracts from the 'splendid report pre-
sented by Miss Case, the President
of the local branch of the- Red Cross
Society at their annual meeting held
recently:
While expressing our(' apprecia-
tion of the kindness shown to us on
all occasions, I wish to particuarly
thank the good` people of Seaforth and
surrounding country, who- have been
most generous in i their support. The
Board and Directors of the Carnegie
Library, who have given us the use of
their hall and ether rooms for carry
ing on our work; the busy, women who
have given both their time and work
so faithfully; the Press? who have
been most kind in giving usSpace from
week to week; Mr. Neil, Messrs.
Sproat & Sproat and Mra Clark, for
the use of their shops for having work
called for and returned; a the mer-
chants who have supplied us with
packing cases free of
(shake; Mr.
Arnold Case, for assisting int'packing
and seing that all boxes ;were nailed
securely for shipment; fdr. Charles
Stewart, for making us advertising
nutter whenever neded;
the differ-
ent stenographers in town, who many
times have done typewriting for us;
the different individuals; end socie-
ties, who have lent us sewing ma-
chines; Mr. E. J. Box and Mr. Marsh-
all Stewart for draying;. The Grand
Trunk Freight Company for .carrying
all our supplies to Toronto free of
cost; and to Mrs. Wright for knitting
socks with her m chine. `

LETTER FRO THE FRONT.
The following le ter was written by
Pte. T. E. Govenlo ,k to his mother,
Mrs. J. M. Govenlck, of Winthrop, a
short time before he was killed in
action.
Fran e, Sept. 18, 1916:-
Dear Mother, Your letter and
Edith's came on aturday and I was
glad to know tha everything was
fine since I sent ypu the field post
card. I have had I my first taste of
fire. Our party arrived here on
Tuesday ,last afte a slow trip and
two days afoot. he Battalion was
in support then, and ewe jollied
right up to the s gnal section.Thurs-
day a party . of s were on a fat-
igue party to the battle head-
quarters, carryin: bombs and doing
some digging. F itz sent over coal
boxes all day an. got one of our
men, but we fini hed our job, and
returned to our support quarters,.
which by the wa,was an old Ger-
man undergroundugout about 20
to 25 feet below; the ground, fitted
with comfortable bunks and white-
washed. That same night we went up
again and the B . ttalion went to our
first line trench til the signallers
were told off to different positions.
Six of us stayed at Headquarters to
repair telephone - lines—sounds as if
it were right in y line doesn'teit ?
However we coul • n't get anywire to
line on account of Heine's shells. He
kept - shelling He dquarters all night
and next day, s. we dug ourselves
in and waited. T .e real work of the
Battalion was pull ed off in the early
morning, when t ey went over the
parapet and drov. Fritz back nearly
a mile. Poor F 'tz hasn't any kick
left except in ma hine guns and art-
illery. Soon after daylight the wound-
ed and prisoner: began to come
back. Fritz evide : ty likes the novel-
ty of being take. prisoner. All I did
was to run for stretchers twice,
take one messag back and one for-
ward to our new line. The last one
furnished some xcitement all right
for the shells . sisted on coming
pretty close. Co ing back I spoiled
my day by getti g lost; spent the
night in an open trench in the rain,
and as I expected the Battalion would
be relieved that same night came
back to the base the morning and
reported. I got nto some Imperial
trenches, which ritz was shelling
for all he was orth and a couple
got too close. Yo see our work is to
keepup cora unication - between
the line and Head • uarters. The phone
is used when pos • tole, but when too
many shells coin : the messages are
carried. I was wishing I had had
time to get a souvenir, but couldn't
wait to look; and the good ones were
all picked up before anyway. I did
get a bayonet, but threw it away
when I was lost I have met a big
bunch of fellows here. Coming up we
met some battalions coming out of
the trenches and aw quite a few of
the 39th Signal Corps, also Capt.
Jewett. Then 1er I found d Andy
Archibald, Alex. McLeod and today
coining home me Howard Hays and
Fred Weir. They re looking fine and
I was certainly lad to see them.
Four or five of r Fourth Univers-
ity Company bo were with them,
too. One of the fficers of the gist
Can We Do Leas When the
Need Is Greater ?
The County Council have decided
to give a half mill or $21,150 to-
ward the British Red Cross collece
tion on Octeher 19th. Last year the
total 'voluntslty contribution of Hurl
on County on Trafalgar Day was
$89,000. In other words, Huron
County will , be giving $1'7,850 less;
this year than in 1915, while the call
for assistance is immeasurably
greater to -day than since the war be-
gan.
It has been pointed out in an ur-
gent, serious appealing letter, re-
ceived by the Mayor, from the Sec-
retary of the British Red Cross,that
the half mild donation when applied
to Seaforth, will leave our 1916 con-
tribution $3,000 less than last year.
Can we do ;less when the need is
greater?
The Secre ary further points out
in unmistak$ble terms the greater
need of thea British Red Cross � r ss So-
ciety for funds to relieve .,'the suf-
fering and nurse back to health and
strength, the men who have been
wounded in the great struggle for
right and liberty. As the British -Red
Cross does not confine its opera-
tions to any one nation, but assists
all allied nations alike, it is our
DUTY to ccjntribute to an organiz-
ation that is helping to care for our
own Canadian wounded. The wound-
ed have done', their duty; are your
going to do Yours?
We all know the great need of
funds. Our duty is plain. If we have
a spark of gratitude or patriotism
in us we w' gladly contribute to the
comfort of t e men who have fought
for our hear hs and homes.
There Wil be no canvassing. It
should not be necessary.. The council,
and Red Cress Society have decid-
ed to open voluntary subscription
fund from. October 19th to 28th in-
clusive. Mr. John Beattie, the local
treasurer, wi l receive your donations
at the Vari ty Store. Five dollars
and .a half ays for the ;mainten-
ance of a ounded soldier for one
week. If you cannot pay for one sold-
ier for a w ek pay for a day, but
pay for a month if you are able.
Seaforth set the pace for Hur-
on County last year. Do your share,
give what yen can, and we will set
the pace again.
If you are LOYAL you will WANTI
TO GIVE!

FROM CLIVEDEN, ENGLAND.
The following interesting descrip-
tion of the destruction of Zeppe-
lin is fr m an old, Seaforth
boy, now at the Duchess of
Connaught Canadian 'Red,' Crosti
Hospita, Cli eden, Eng. 1 He says:
October 2nd, 1916.
Last night was a big night at camp
here. At 10:30 we had to put all
lights out on account of an approach-
ing Zeppelin raid. Well the sky bac
of us was just one mass of search
lights, you cannot imagine how won
derful it is until you see it yourself
and when we arrived home we watch:,
ed them for quite a long time. About
twelve o'clock the anti-aircraft gun
started firing very heavily and w
could see the flash of the guns ver
painly. Then all of a sudden th
searchlights concentrated oft one spot
and then the guns quit firing an
the searchlights went out and w
were just going to turn in to go tdo
bed when we were startled by the
place turning as bright as day. Here
was Mr. Zepp coming down, an im+
mense blazing mass. It vias a won+
derful sight aid then you could hear
the cheering from all sides of the
country, factory whistles blowing, etc.
The Zepp came down twenty-five
miles froze here, so you can: guess it
was up pretty high when it caused
such a fine sight from here. It sure
is great sport , and just to think that
is four we have brought down inside
of a month—pretty good.
