Trampled by Cow Wilfred Golclough, Goderich town- ship farmer, sustained painful ac- cidental injuries a few evenings ago which might have proven quite ser- ious. A cow that he was milking in the yard became startled by a num- ber of young cattle racing about and in springing to one side knocked him aver and trampled upon him causing severe body bruises and 'internal soreness. For a while it was though he might require hospital treatment but for- tunately such was not required. Mr. Golclough is taking a few days off work.

Can- adian Legion and others were present in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening at the call of the mayor for the purpose of taking• steps toward organizing a branch of the Red Cross Society here The meeting was quite informal, being held to endeavor to set the wheels in motion in accordance with the suggestion outlined in a let- ter received from the Stratford Branch. Various suggestions as to the proper procedure were received. Mr. H. M. Monteith was appointed sec- retary pro tem and ;it was suggested that he get the books *am Mrs. Mason, secretary of the branch in the last war for guidance until a meeting of the citizens was held. A motion was made that the sec- retary notify all :organizations in town -to select a representative to attend a meeting on Friday evening when further plans will be made and the date set for a ;general meeting, which in all probability will be held next Monday -night: At this latter meeting speakers will be secured from Stratford who are familiar with organizing and the .particular needs to give their advice and assist in any way in getting the branch away to a good start. A further suggestion made at the meeting was that a committee be ap- pointed to work wiih, the secretary, Mr. Monteith, in notifying the var- ious organizations.

Dealing with the firstp uestion the speaker q said oar fight is not against the Ger- man people, but against the follow- ers of Hitler regime, He referred to their leader as an upstart who had no respect for the laws of decency as evidenced by the invasion of Czecho-Slovakia;;the persecution, of the Jews and the invasion of Poland. He went on to list some of the atrocities with which his audience was familiar, listing among them the sinking of the Athena. Dealing with the part Canada should take he went on to. say Can- adians should go beyond what has been given out at Ottawa as Can- ada's part. It is not enough to fur- nish ammunition, we should also have trained men capable of taking their place in any emergency, and no one knows when that emergency may may arise. Appealing to those eleg- ible for active service he left with them this thought, "Ain I indispen- sable to my family or business, or is it my duty to serve as •a soldier?"

Ilolmesville United Church DIAMOND 'JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY On Sunday, October 1st, Homes- ville United Church will mark its dOih anniversary .with special ser- vices and programmes. A brief hist- ory of the church, compiled by Mr. W. H. Lobb follows. Hohnesville was a part of the Clin- ton circuit until 1872. In that year the Hohnesville Wesleyan Methodist Church was formed with the Rev. W. E. Smith as minister. About that time a church was built on a plot a short distance from where the pres- ent building now stands. The present chtu•ch was erected in 1879 corder the ministry of the Rev. Joseph Philp. It is interesting to know that Mrs. Philp is still alive and is .living In Hamilton. Five years later, in 1884, the Bible Christian Church and the Wesleyan Methodist Church united and became known as the Holnesville circuit of the Methodist Church of Canada. At the time the church was built the following were trustees, John Calbiek, John McCartney, Robt. Ach- eson, Edward Acheson, William Stan- ley, John Marquis, George Tebbutt, John Trewartha, William Crooks, Japtha Hollin, Herbert Elford. After the union in 1884 the follow- ing were elected to the Trustee Board. from the Bible Christian Church: John L. Courtice, Andrew Courtice, John Yeo, Thomas C. Pickard, Elias Potter, William Murch, Thomas Murch, Richard Docking, William Jarvis and Aron Huller. The organist was Mrs. Alec. Birks, (nee Minnie Elford). She had in her. choir Percival Evans, Kezia Lobb, Annie Lobb, William Evans, Debora Ilolmes, W. H. Lobb. The Sunday School Superintendents during the years were: John Calbiek, Andrew -Courtice, Thomas Walter, Nelson Trewartha, W. H. Lobb, Fred. Potter„ Lewis. Tebbutt, Barrie Wal- ter, Lorne Jervis, Albert Bond. Many have gone from the local church to -make their contribution- in the larger fields of life. Thefollow- ing are the names of some: Prof. F. C, Elford, Ottawa; Prof. Holdsworth, Florida; Dr. T. R. Courtice, Perin.; Rev. William Courtice, Cal.; Dr. 0. Courtice, Indianna; Dr. A. Courtice, Winnipeg; Rev. J. W. Churchill, Van- couver; Mark Rumble, Manitoba; Nelson Trewartha, M.P.P. 1929. Many of our present workers are descendants of those who first start- ed the church and we would like to pay tribute to their forebears and to express our appreciation of the loyalty of ;the present workers, In every department of the : church. It is expected many connected with the earlier life of the church will be present for the special activities which have been arranged to con- memorate sixty ,years service..
