JUVENILES LOSE TO
GUELPH
The Clinton Huron -Perth juvenile
title-holders took a bad. trouncing a
the hands of the Guelph lads of th
same class, in the first of best tw
in three series played in Guelph Sat-
urday. They were blanked to the
tune of 7-0 in a full 9 -inning. game.
The game went seven innings be-
fore a run was scored and during
which time it was a pitchers' duel,
with the visitors outhitting'the lo-
cals 6-3.
The Royal pity lads broke away in
the eighth when Runstadtler, first up,
took
a wallop at the pill and made
second base safely. Leader grounded
out to shortstop, Thompson singled,
scoring Runstadtler and working
around to third scored on Billings'

A. recent bulletin front Headquar-

whole idea will have, to be abandoned

the 'It seems. advisable to gosiow:y for

make changes necessary in Work
Room activity. Hospital supplies are
to be continued; no' more suigieal

The greatest need at the present is

have been moved about so often that
many have lost what clothes they had.
:Older boys and girls have been over
looked up to now. In making cloth-
ing, do it with these points in mind:
1. laundry difficulties; 2. make every
outfit complete in details as to fasten-
ing*, etc.; 3. consider what our own
families want and work from that;
4. clothes are to be worn in England
but may be needed in Canada as child-
ren conte over in larger numbers
5. do not forget adults; 6. all sorts of
knitted goods and garments for civ-
ilians are most acceptable.
Every effort will be made to give ali
possible help and co-operation with
suggestions or in consultation with
this office, so far as this type of work
is concerned, but we believe it to be
more satisfactory to allow each pro -1
vince a fairly free hand. It would not
be good to have all the clothing made
the same.
There is no change in the needs of
the aimed forces at present. Gloves
and mitts will be wanted in a few
weeks. Cold weather comes earlier

we shall be giving the latest informa-
tion regularly. It is with great plea-

a request cabled from our Overseas
Commissioner: "Clothing received

recipients," and from another source,

SIGHTLESS
Life to the blind was once a natter
of tragic misery, but it is that no more
because during the last two decades
sources of recreation, education and
training have been found to cause blind
persons to become usefully and gain-
fully occupied, As the Canadian Na-
tional Institute for the Blind has
transformed
the lives of hundreds of
Canadian blind men and women from
wretched existences to careers of use-
fulness and comfort.
War or -no war the work for the
blind must go on as usual. Our blind
friends are still with us and their
needs are the same. On Saturday,
Sept. 14, the citizens of Clinton and
community will join in a country -wide
effort to raise much needed funds in
aid of over thirty blind persons in
Huron County.
Everyone feels an urge to help the
blind. Everyone' can translate that
urge into fruitful action by giving gen-
erously to the Tag Day to be hell its
Clinton, Saturday Sept. 14th, under the
convenorship of Fred Ford of the
Lions and Mrs. N. Trewartha, of the
Women's Institute a splendid Tag Day
committee has been set up. Boys and
girls representing a cross-section of
Clinton's society have volunteered
their services to help with selling the

In the evening a special service
was held in St. Paul's Church, when
members of the Town Council, Schoo

in a body, led by the Clinton Pipe

L. Beverley, Assistant Bishop of To-
ronto, delivered the sermon, taking
as his text John 3, verse 16, "For Gocl
so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."
Using the words of this text, Bish-
op Beverley pointed out the length
and breadth and depth of God's love,
God's love is as broad as humanity
as all share equally in His love. There
are no stop-citildrett in the fancily of
God.
The Bishop related the story of the
conversation between Holman Hunt
and a friend concerning Hunt's fa-
mous painting, "The Light of the
World" The picture depicts Christ
with
a lantern it
t His hand knocking
at a door. Hunt's friend pointed out
that. the painter had omitted an in -
1 portant detail, the handle on the
door. Hunt assured his friend that
£ the painting was correct because if
the door possessed a handle Christ
• would not stand knocking, but would
enter freely. There are no outside
handles on the doors of our hearts,
- but it is very easy for us to open
then from the inside to let Christ in,
