Clinic Remember Friday night, March 81st is the cvening for our next Blood Clinic which will be held ini Port Perry High School. Cards have been mailed to the Donors who have already registered. Approximately cighty-five names have been received for this Clinic from peo- ple of this district who desire to help in this project. The Committee in charge had hoped to have received one hundred names, so, if you are in good health and wish to do your part get arrangements can still be made for vou to donate this coming Friday. We are very pleased with the co- operation received and are not com- Phining but surely out of this large territory there is still plenty of room for improvement. Doesn't take much courage nor doesn't take up much of your time to give a little blood which will mean so much to the welfare of some of our wounded men and women | who are doing so much for us.

Many lives have already benefited by the use of Blood Plasma, Your name 'on a Blood Donor Card will be very welcome -- so come on folks and use a little bit of patriotism in this direction, just as soon as you possibly can. We wish to acknowledge the inter- esting letter received from Mr. Tripp which was published in this paper re- cently. It is fice to know our friends are following our activities. Mr. Tripp's record as a Blood Donor is one to be proud of and a wonderful example and inspiration for the rest of us to follow. Some public spirited people have al- so come to the assistance of the Clinic financially, and we appreciate it very much. Donations already received .... J. C. Love R. J. Harper .

TROTTIER . R. J. TALLON ALLAN M. MITCHELL Commissioners, PE-8-44 A SE A RO An Unique Occasion A small Lodge, AF, & ed Cedar Lodge, Oshawa, on Tuesday evening of this week and were well repaid for the journey. It was the occasion of the official visit of the D.D. G.M., R.W. Bro. Baxter, of Colborne, and Masons from all over the district attended as well as the two other lodges in Oshawa, - As might be ex- pected, the Cedar Brethren, who were not on night shifts, were there in force. Also it was, the occasion of a visit from Pentalpa Chapter and the Almoner Preceptory Whitby, in all, well on to 200 were in attendance. The beautiful third degree was ex- emplified to the satisfaction of the D.D.G.M. who complimented them on their work, 5 A unique feature was the presenta- tion to VW, Bro. S, M, Hutcheson of a jewel from Grand Lodge on his fiftieth anniversary as a Past Master. Wor. Bro. Hutcheson was given the custom- | ary jewel from Grand Lodge several | years ago on his reaching his fiftieth year as a mason, This is not unusual as every mason in good standing, on reaching his 50th masonic year is en- titled to this recognition but it is 'I seldom that tite 50th year as a Past Master is claimed for when 60 is added to the age of a brother general: ly in whén he has gone through the chairs, it would make him a pretty old man and many are called to the Grand Lodge above before reaching it. However, Wor, Bro, Hutcheson, who is. a brother:of our R.W.'Bro. I G. Hutcheson, got through early in life and has lived to receive this honour from the Grand Lodge. R.W. Bro. H. G. Hutcheson is also a member of Cedar Lodge and was called on to perform .the ceremony of, presenting this medal to his brother, which made a still more unusual setting. The District Deputy in his address to the Brethren gave what we consider the best talk we have ever heard from a D.D.G.M, An excellent banquet was served afterwards and a splendid program of songs and music followed concluding '| by a musical farce by the "Numskulls" that was a riot of fun linked with stir- ing orchestral music. This treat will long be remembered by those who were lucky. enough to. attend. 1.0.0. F. News On Monday, March 27th, the mem- bers of Warriner Lodge, No. 76, in- itiated four new members at a splen- did meeting.' Thirty members were present to witness the Degree. If you are a member of this lodge and have not been out for a few meet- ings you are really missing some en- joyable evenings, : 1 it At the next regular meeting, Apt 10th, the Grand Lodge Representative contingent of Fidelity | other excellent class of candidates and A.M. members attend- | deserve the attention of all who can | a visitor on Sunday with Mr. an will be: elected. A degree, possibly the second, will also be conferred, so keep the date in mind. This 'is an- be present, y : A special gathering is being held in Millbrook to celebrate the Fiftieth An- niversary of Oddfellowship. of the Millbrook Lodge, in the near future, More information will be obtained ater. s Remember the Clinic Friday night of this week, for the Blood Donors. We quite realize the number of mem- bers already donating at other Clinics, but we should like, if at all possible, 'to have our lodge represented one hundred per cent., so, all of you that are in Al condition remember to sign up as soon as possible, if you have not already done so, A goodly num- ber have already . registered; but, there are still a few we would like to hear from, $ . Myrtle Station Mr. Stephen Saywell, of Oshawa, concluded the series of pre-Lenten ser- mons on Sunday afternoon. These discussions, leading up to the Easter service, have been full of meaning and an earnestness which should prove helpful to his congregation. : Messrs.

'The Port Perry Lions Dance on Tuesday evening of last week was at- tended by a number from around here. Russ Creighton provided the music and certainly kept the crowd on the move, There was lots of fun, every- one was happy and reported it a rousing affair, : : Mrs. Francis Briggs and daughter, Mrs. H. Stredwick and Miss Thelma Briggs, were visitors in Toronto on Thursday last, ; Robins and other spring birds are here and how lovely to hear their songs again! Regardless. of the cold winds they perch on the limbs of the trees and sing with happy abandon. Some of the earliest of the spring flowers have "pushed their yay up through the cold earth but the latest fall of snow has covered them up, But we'll be seeing them again shortly, in real earnest.
