Says Child Normal Crown Attorney D. E. Holmes out- lined the case to the jury and said the child, a normal and well-nourished gill, was born on or about May 6. On May 25 the child was found dead in a crib and MTS. Rose was found sitting on a park- bench at Light- house Point, Goderich. Dr. John Wallace, Goderich, said he was called to the Rose apartment and found the baby lying on her back in a erib, covered to the chin. She had been dead for about three hours, he estimated. Under cross-examination by F. R. Darrow, defence damsel, he said it was possible for a baby to smother itself. There were no marks of violence, he testified. Coroner Dr. W. P. Grallow said there did not appear to be any violent cause of death. Dr. John H. Fisher, London pathologist, said death was apparently due to ,asphyxia, and said death could have been caused by pressinga soft material such as the entail niece of cloth, shoW71 by Crown Atterney Holmes, overa baby's nose. "I see no explanation for death by natural causes," he said. "My opinion is that death was due to asphyxia- tion." ---0 RED CROSS NOTES After the long holiday,. we return to find continued and critical post-war. problems facing us.

PAUL'S CHURCH Harvest Thanksgiving services were held in St. Paul's Anglican Church Clinton, Sunday morning and evening with Rev. J. II. L. Henderson, Blyth being the speaker at the morning service and Squadron Leader T. Dale Jellies, chaplain of Clinton R. and C S., preaching the sermon at the even- ing service. Special music was rendered by the choir directed- by :Mrs. J. G. Mac Kinnon, and large crowds attended Both Wesley -Willis United and On- tario St. United evening services were withdrawn. The rector, Rev. R. M. P. 13ulteel, was in charge. S/L Jones took his text from Matthew 13:30: "Let both grow to- gether until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gnther ye together first the bares. and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my been." The speaker said it was his first experience in Eastern Canada at har- vest time. It was one of the pret- tiest part of Canada, blessed with one of the most bountiful crops of all times. Discussing "the harvest of life" it- self, S/L -Tones dealt with the law of grosvfet, the law of aseociation, and She law of eetributien. Our life is never static; we're grow- ing all the time, he contended. "Is your growth a positive one or a back- ward one?" he asked. No one can grow alone; if you live alone you become introspective. The law of association must have full play. The peace conference was going to break down unless there was a feel- ing of cooperation. The law of eeteUttion would work, too. There is a'soeteng time and a reaping time. "Be careful of the seeds we sow," he advised.
