The new President, Mr, McLaren,
hails from Goderich, but has been In
Toronto for a number of years. He is
a well known and successful wholesale
shoe inanufactprer. When it was men-
tioned that the brand on his shoes was
nonan American eagle, but a genuine
Canadian Beaver, surrounded by a
wreath of maple leaves, he was given
a iearty round of applause.
Mr. Sloody, the untiring and ever -
zealous Secretary, has held office ever
since the Association was formed 20
years ago. He is an officer in the Ex-
cise department of the Dominion Gov-
ernment, and his name has appeared
in the press quite frequently of late in
connection with the seizure of illicit
liquor stills. He has a collection of
tltepe, both elaborate acid crude, suf-
ficient to supply the whole Dominion
with liquor. It may be mentioned in-
cidentally that Mr. Floody and Mr.
Holmes were at one time publishers of
rival papers in Clinton, while now they
both work harmoniously under the
same roof.
Mr. King is a brother of the success-
ful Progressive Candidate in North
Huron.
In view of the fact that General Otter
Toronto, holds the longest record of
any military officer' in the Dominion,
the Secretary was instructed to send
him a letter of congratulation. : Mr.
Otter was born just about where the
House of, Refuge,stands, 'near Clinton.
The new, , Vice-Prtsident was for
some time a resident of 'Clinton,,being
a daughter of the late- Stewart Plum -
