Clinton War Service Association
A new organization has been form-
ed to be known as the Clinton War
Services Association. for the purpose
of arousing public opinion to the
gravity of the present war situation
and kindling greater interestin act
tivities which supply aid in one
form or another to the allied forces
in land, sea and in the air.
This new organization was brought
about by a demand of public spirited
citizens, and local organizations;; that
felt the need for a co-ordinating- unit
so that the Town as a whole would
'continue and perhaps increase many
times,. the contributions and help for
patriotic purposes.
The Town Council called a meeting
of the citizens on an. 24th, for the,
purpose of discussing fully the wax
effort and the new organization was
the outcome of the meeting.
Clinton has not been very active
so far during this war with salvaging
materials like paper, metal of all
kinds, rag's and clothing• of all kinds,
tin cans, etc. as means of raising
money for patriotic purposes, The
new organization could get this work
underway.
The new organization also could
be in charge of the joint appeal in

Editor News -Record:
I was very mph impressed with
the "Patriotic Spirit" that was so
prevalent at the local meeting held
in the Town Hall, Friday evening.
And I am sure is each, individual in
Clinton as well ah the different as-
sociations will realize their respons-
ibility in these War efforts that the
much needed "Clinton War Service
Association" will be a big su.ccesa.

C mtot
t News -Record:
Clinton War Service Association
I am fuIIy in accord with the
Organization, Aims and endeavors, of
the above Association.
The Inforntatin I have from E::g.
land recently says that The Canad-
ian Legion is doing wonderful work
in educating Canadian Soldiers who
find it necessary to improve their
Academic standing. An old Clinton
Boy is Chief Director for the Canad-
ian Branch.
The Executive Officers are all ex-
cellent business men active and pro-
gressive and willi give splendid lead-
ership.
This Association must be a success
but the undivided push of every Man,
Women, Boy and Girl in Clinton is
necessary. They, must devote their
mental faculties and energy to the
full in Order that Clinton may lead
in this campaign; Every good citizen
must have a Public Soul, and caro for
.taw„Army, Na't?•;iand, Airmen.,: and
give them instruments to work with.
Never say to yourself—What is there
in it for me—But say What is in me
Tor it.
Respectfully Yours.

The very small crowd that witness-

creased to well over 200 for the Juv--'
enile's home gamey between the L,ond-
on Kinsmen and the Clinton Lions.

London Midgets were too heavy and
too fast :to rthe local youngsters while
not so badly trimmed as in London a
week ago Saturday, they were only
able to secure one goal against four
by the city stahvarts.
The local kids are definitely in the
midget class in size, and while the
visitors were no doubt within the pro-
per age limit they far outclassed the
locals in size and weight.
London scored three tunes in the
fust period. The second was not so
one sided. Miller made the opening
goal for the home team early in the
2ncl period and for the visitors Woods
and Hillard combined, Woods on the
scoring end. It was a two period
