A cordial invitation. is extend- ed to all those who are interested in Missionary work, Navy League ` ganized.—At a -Tell attended and enthusiastic meeting held in the Council. Chamber on' Monday. evening', it was unanimously decided to organize a local branch of the Navy League of Canada, the objects of which were outlined by Organizer Lieut: Carnegie, as follows: (a) To conduct an educational campaign in matters pertaining td the Navy and Mercantile marine; (b) To raise funds for British and Canadian sailors and their dependents, for Sailors' Homes, Institutes: and Hospitals in Canada and throughout the Empire; . (c) To encourage volunteer Naval' Brigades for boys and young men in which they can receive practical and theoret- ical instruction in seamanship, to prepare them for Service in our mer - 'cantle marine. In order to get some idea of the protection and benefits the Navy has given to Canada, it only necessary to contrast the situation, in Canada as it is to -day, with what it would have been had the Navy and the Mercantile .Marine failed to meet the enormous demands imposed upon it. The following Officers were elected: Chairman, Mr. F. Holmested; Secre- tary, Mr.' A. A., Naylor; Treasurer, Mrs. Alex. t McLennan; Executive Committee, Miss Agnes Lukes, Messrs F. S. Savauge, A. D. Sutherland and F. G. Neelin. The membership fees are as follows: Full member, $2; associate member (intended for fac- tory hands, wage-earners, etc), $1; junior members (18 years and= under), 25c. Women are eligible for mem- bership in the League. As there is not the same provision made • for. the dependents of _sailors in the way of patriotic allowances and pensions that there is for those of our soldiers, there should be a hearty response to tb canvas that will be made in town an surrounding country for additional members.

Mr. Daniel' Clark, passed away on Thursday morn- ing, May 30th, after a shore illness. The qause of death was a paralytic strok, it being the third he had suf- fered. He was born in Sutherland county, Scotland, on December 18th, 1831, and was the oldest of a family of "eleven, several of them being born in Canada. Three sisters and one bro- ther are still alive. Mr. Clark came to Canada with his family in 1847, and aittled in West Zorra township, Ox- ford county, remaining there uptil the fall of 1851. He then settled on lot 10, concession 10, Tuckersmith, which he cleared, thus becoming acquainted with the hardships of pioneer life. Two years. after the death of his first wife the farm was sold and he moved to Egnwondville, where he lived the rest of his life, except for about two years spenton the farm of his father-in-law, in West Zorra. The population of Seaforth, : consisted of the inmates of one log horse, when 'he commene'ed work on his faun about six .miles south, on the Kippen Road. Mr. Clark was a Liberal in politics, and voted at the last election, on December 17, 1917, being on that date within one day of 86 years of age. He was a lifelong friend of the late M. Y.
