From the enclosed list of "sold outs" you.will see that the .Spring
line is rapidly getting depleted.
Be sure to immediately remove all "Sold Out" Samples from your
range. For your guidance in future,, we would suggest, that you
give us two or more selections on each order you send in.
It will insure your customers getting better serv}ce.
The woollen situation, from now on, is bound to be getting worse
and worse. The lining situation is even worse than that of woollens.
It is practically impossible to buy linings today. Supplies are just
not available.
If therefore, you find some of your orders delayed in delivery, it
may be on account of woollens, shortage of linings, •or other reasons
beyond our control.
Govern yourself accordingly but don't expect the impossible.
The above is a reproduction of a circluar letter sent to the trade
by one of our "Made -to -Measure Clothing" manufacturers and very
aptly describes the clothing situation.
Our advice is still the Same. Get your order in early and avoid dis-
appointment.

Leap Year Birthday Party';
A surprise Birthday Party was
held for Mrs. J. E. (Dick) MacDonald
Tuesday evening at the home of Cpl.
and Mrs. Ron MacDonald, when over
thirty friends and neighbors gathered
to wish the English war bride many
happy returns. Cards were played
Mrs. C. V. Cooke, being the winner
with Mrs. Joe Carter getting the con-
solation prize. Afterwards a delic-
ious lunch was enjoyed during an
hour of sociability.
The day was made all the more
happier by the arrival of a telegrem
informing Mrs. Macdonald that her
husband, Gunner Dick MacDonald, had
arrived in Canada and would be home,

Women's Institute
The regular meeting of the Wo-
men's Institute Thursday afternoon
was featured by an interesting ad-
dress by E. H. Hill, Goderich, chair-
man of the Unemployment Insurance
Commission of this area, and Miss
Edna Jamieson of the Clinton Pub-
lic Library Board. The president
Mrs. J. B. Levis, presided, and Mrs.
E. Adams was at the piano.
Mr. Hill stated that the Unem-
ployment Insurance Commission is
the result of the Dominion Govern-
ment's first straight unemployment
legislation. Selective Service is
purely a war measure which will
cease to function when the war ends,
he claimed. The Unemployment In-
surance Act will continue but will be
amended, he said, to remedy present
imperfections.
Since the act came into force over
$26,000,000 has been paid out in
unemployment insurance in Canada.
And yet, Mr. Hill stated, there seems
to be a reluctance on the . part of
many to claim the • insurance when
they are entitled to it. One reason,
he thought, is that the applicant.
must be able and willing to accept
a job.
There also seems to be a reluct-
ance on the part of employers to put
their men on the insurance list.
The trouble is, said the speaker, that
the act is not thoroughly understood.
and he emphasized that it is the duty
of the public to support the legisla-
tion, for it is a forward movement in
our national economy, and although
the amount paid is small, it is enough
to keep the wolf from the door.
Following Mr. Hill's talk a piano
solo by Miss L. Brigham, and: vocal
Solos by Mrs. M. Nediger with Mrs.
M. Agnew at the piano were contri-
buted.
Miss Jamieson touched briefly on
Ithe history 'of the library and its de-
velopment from the Mechanics In-
stitute of former years, housed in a
small room in the town hall to the
splendid building and equipment of
today, one of the finest in the county.
There are 13,338 volumes on ' the
shelves valued at $4,000, besides pap-
ers and magazines. She declared that
well patronized as it by the public
more people ought to avail themselves
of the privelege and pleasure of the
library.
Hostess in serving afternoon tea
were Mrs. Hayden, Mrs. M. Batkin,
Mrs. A. Cantelon, Mrs. W. Rozell,
Mrs. East, and Mrs. Cox.

18 Activities Keep Clinton
Lions Busy
Believing that busy men "get
things done" and even anxious to
make a ,contribution in service to
humanity wherever it is needed the
Clinton Lions Club is indeed a "going
concern".
The outstanding 1943 activity was
the Victory Field, with work done by
club members. The entire proceeds
from the three acres of sugar beets,
one acre of turnip, and four acres of
white beans was used entirely for
welfare purposes. . As a cushion for
future days, The Clinton Club has
invested '$ 3,500 in Victory Bonds. J.'
C. Shearer is president, Douglas Ball
secretary, Frank Pennebaker, treas-
urer.
Activities of Clinton include hockey
for children, Christmas theatre show
for`,children, Street Fair for the Red
Cross, Farmers' Night Banquet,
Lions British Child War Victims'
Fund, Christmas Gifts to members of
the Lions Hockey Team now in the
armed' forces, Greek Relief Grant and

ies: C.N.I.B. Tag Day; War Savings

"Box 1Sbcial" Helps Red
Cross and Summerhill Hall
Board
On Friday evening Feb. 25,. Mr.
and Mrs. Warren Gibbings, near
Summerhill entertained a jolly crowd
of friends from Clinton, a number
of the nurses from Clinton Public

desboro, and neighbours, and friends,
Twenty tables set down to a few
games of Progressive euchre. The
winners with highest points being
Lady, Mrs. Bert Shobbrook; Gent,
Mr, Toni Flynn, Low Lady, Mrs. Vic
Roy; Gent, Billie Gibbings.
After the euchre the guests re-
mained at their card tables and play-
ed bingo, the first game being won

and a very amusing chapter was read
in one part of the house by Mrs.
Alvin Bottles (Barbara Snell) and in
the other part of the home by Mrs.
Janes Turner (Lois Farquhar). The
chapter which was formerly taken
from one of "Ann of Green Gables"
books with some alternations of
names, as the letter travelled from
one locality. to. another. This caused
some good laughs. The chapter
"About Gathering Money for the
New Hall" was quite appropriate as
our community have just purchased
a hall at Summerhill and are striving
to pay for it.
The main feature of the evening
being a "Old Fashioned Box Social"

every shape and size, a' number of

with pilot; red cross; house; sham-
rock; basket with flowers; decorat-
ed dolls; and dainty boxeswith gay
colors and a number with bright tin-
sel; wheel barrow with boy; wagon;
and red, white, and blue boxes. The
auctioneers, Mr. Alex Haddy, of Clin-
ton and Mr. Thomas Mason of Sum-
merhill did wonderful work bring-
ing in good returns from ,each box.
Mr. Ephraim Snell acting as cashier.
No judge could possibly decide
which box was best. They were all
grand. So it was decided to give to
the two boxes bringing the most mon-
ey. 1st Mrs. Graydon Neal's box
who was bought by Goldwin Smith;
2nd Mrs. Chas. Merrill's box, bought
by Mr, Wm, Lovett,
As the company were preparing to
leave for hone Mr. Warren Gibbings,
thanked everyone for coining and
helping to make the evening a success
both Socially and Financially and
"It was a pleasure to invite people
when they accepted the invitation. A
few people can not make a success
without the co-operation of all. The
Co-operation, he said, was certainly
shown by everyone here to -night."
Mr. Thomas Mason .moved a vote
of thanks to Mr, and Mrs. Warren
Gibbings for opening their home for
the occasion.
The proceeds for the evening Bingo
$27.1'7; Boxes $57.71, Bringing a
