THE STRATFORD MIRROR Shut-in's Day, Sunday, June 4th We doubt if-there is anyone who will not approve of the Proclamation by Mayor Monteith for this community to observe Shut-in's Day. The actualizing of this spirit is do- ing the will of the Great Teacher, who went about doing just such things as "Shut In's Day" has on its program. _-Someone wrote: Man's highest duty is to be of good cheer. But his duty does not end there. He should also be the bringer of good cheer to others. _. "Shut In's Day" affords an opportun- ity to exercise that which enriches life, and we are sure Stratford people will do their part on this special day. I. C.

J. F. Pringle Trophy Resting In Stratford The J. F. Pringle Trophy is resting in the Stratford Division as a result of the men and women in that branch of the Canadian National Railways having subscribed more in the Sixth Canadian Victory Loan Campaign than any other group in the System's central region or, for that matter, than any other group in the System from coast-to-coast. The trophy was presented to the employees at a gathering in the Y.M. C.A. on Tuesday evening when J. A. Murphy, superintendent of the Strat- ford Division accepted the award from Mr. Pringle who spent the day in the city. In the course of his address the donor congratulated the Stratford Di- vision for its good showing and said that it indicates the loyalty of the di- visional staff, not only to Canada and the war effort but also the Canadian National Railways System. A number of well-known citizens in- cluding Mayor J. Waldo Monteith and H. W. Strudley, chairman of the Perth County National War Finance Com- mittee, were present at the dinner meeting in addition to C.N.R. employ- ees and officials.
