The feature of the quiet observance of
July 4th here was the splendid Grafton by
P. H. Gillin, Esq, of Bangor. Mr.. Gillin
is gifted, able and forceful speaker and
held the close attention of his audience
during his address on the serious crisis
which the country is facing, and his por-
trayal of conditions was a strong and
patriotic presentation of the duties and
responsibilities which confront the citi-
zens in the grave need for national help
and loyalty at this time.
There is considerable interest in plans
for an organization of Red Cross Auxil-
larry in town in the near future An OPP
portunity will be given everyone inter-
ested to become members and helpers in
this worthy work. 1t is hoped that P
H. Gillin may give an address on the
Red Cross on the date on which the or
ganization takes place. Trained nurses
from Boston are to be in Belfast to give
instructions July 1920, and it would
seem to be expedient to be organized
here before that time so that the auxili-
airy may send delegates to receive the
necessary Instructions
