Ford in the chair in the absence of
Mayor Thompson, who, however,
Baine in after the business of the eve
ening had commenced.
Various communications were put
before the council. One was from
the British Red Cress asking that .
the support given this year by the,
town be even more generous than that
given last. Last season it appears
that the grant from the council and
donations from the Patriotic, Society
to the lied Cross amounted to $1000.
The matter was referred to the May-
or with the .request that a meeting
of the citizens be called,
A communication was read from

A motion was carried requesting
the Dominion Government, as several
other municipalities have already
done, to put into operation a con-
scription bill of some sort, the pre-
sent system of recruiting having prov-
ed unsatisfactory, being considered
Both expensive and inadequate.
Bylaw No, 9, 1916, was read a third

IV, :I. ENJOYED: OUTING.
On Tuesday afternoon the members
of the Women's Institute had a most
enjoyable meeting when they drove
out to the home of Mrs. Charles
Clew, Jr., of Mullett and there
held their regular meeting. The clay
was an ideal autumn one for the
drive. Interesting papers were giv-
en
v -
en by Mrs., J. K. Fairfull and, Mss.
Downs and Mrs. L. Paisley contribut-
a reading. Afterwards refreshments
were served by the hostess and the
ladies returned to town very well
pleased with.thesuccess of their lit-
tle eating.
TIIE I-IURONS GOING.
Huron's Overseas" Battalion, the
' has been notified fr
101st, b no to prepare
to proceed overseas, There has beetl-
e -persistent rumour fur some time
to the effect that the .191st would go
overseas at an early date but
on Saturday it was announc-
ed that they might return to
Huron for the winter and again have
headquarters in Clinton; This report
bolstered up the hopes of relatives
and friends to sonic t extent but it
looks now as if the Hurons would get
an earls opportunity to prove their
metal.
The 161st has been making a- good
record for itself since going to Camp
Burden and whatever lies before it
Huron is confident that its own
battalion will reflect credit upon the
old house county. Nearly all the of-
ficers are Huron born and most of
the men also, and many of the of-
ficers and a good many of the Wren
are Clinton born. It' is small wonder
therefore that "The Iiub" should feel
an especial interest in the warfare of
the Hurons,
Several members of the battalion
were home for last week -end and
the rest are expected by special train
this evening. This will probably be
their last leave and if the soldier
boys conte in for a bit of "spoiling"
during the next four days it need
hardly occasion any wonder.
