The Lucknow Sentinel, 1942-05-21, Page 1• e .00 A YEAR=IN ADVANCE= -50c EXTRA TO U. S. A. local Office Opens, This. Saturday To Receive Red Cross Donations • The Canadian Red., Cross urgently needs $9,000,090. The objective of the Lucknow arid, Vicinity branch i $2,200,and a whirlwind campaign_ is to be staged to ',raise this amount.. It can be done,, but it will require, the, loosening of the purse strings of everyone -in the' district. Open Office Here . ' Here is the plan. An office •Uvil be opened. in Jack Campbell's bar- ber shop to receive contributions This office will open on Saturday and will remain open each day, ex cepting Thursday, until Saturday, May 30th. Office hours will be from 2 p.m. . to .6 p.m. each afternoon and,, Saturday and Wednesday evenings until 10 o'clock. ;- Those who fail to 'register their donation during this period will he called on at their home by anvas- sers the following week. Nam_ .. esu.:.of contribu • _ tors will be posted . daily in the headquarters office window, and will, be publish- ed in . the press. Stress is laid on using the pledge, form whereby contributors may spread their donation over monthly or quartely periods for the next 12 months. - This .plan will eliminate the nec- essity of many house-to-house calls which should not be necessary, and are made at a. considerable sacrifice of time and effort -by a small, and repeatedly the same group of -peo- ple. ` / The people of this community, i` believed, isare sufficiently apr r ec- iative of what the work of the Red Cross means to come forward vol- untarily ; and make their contribu= tions at the central office. A Fine Showing The work of the Iced Cross as•. ar. agency of mercy need not be re- iterated. The work that the , ladies •sr n d Vicinity_ are doing: can be learned by reading another article in this' issue. Last year they ° spent upwards • to $2000' in .buying yarn and materials to carry on their„ work. They can do more if thefin- ancial assistance is forthcoming. The objective is $2,200 Let's raise it! Give to relieve human suffering. CARO PARTIES' AIDED • BOMB ' VICTIMS FUND The local Red Cross British Bomb' Victims' 'Fund was aided substan- tiallyduring the winter ,by a series of card. parties.

D. E. Macintyre, of bttewa, general manager of Canadian Legion War Services stated in a message to Geo. Burgess, president and C. C. Evely, secretary of the local branch. The rigors of active service in the army, navy and air force have been lessened through'. the recreation, ed-. ucation, entertainment and person- al services made. available to' the men. This assistance would net have been .possible without the co-oper- ation of the 200,000 enrolled mem- bers of the Legion branches and ;r Ladies . Auxiliaries of the nine pro- •vincial and four state commands. When Canada entered the war, Col. Macintyre recalled, the Canad- ian Legion swas one of the first or- ganizations on the scene, prepared to provide- huts; hostels and'can teens, Writing ` paper, sports equip- ment, magazines, newspapers arid other conveniences for the risen in service. Pioneered .Education The Legion pioneered education for soldiers, sailors and airmen thru Canadian Legion Educational Ser- vices, the nearest approach to a uni- fied national system of education yet achieved in this country., Teeh- nical and academic courses are a- vailable to men in Canada, New- foundland, Jamaica and overseas, in classes or by correspondence. The educational section is headed by Lt - Col. the Hon. Wilfrid W. Bovey, of Montreal, national chairman; and Squadron . Leader Andrew Moore, prominent Manitoba ' educationist now in Ottawa, national director. , He .-explained that quite apart from the vast program of Canadian Legion War Services, they have turned their branch clubrooms into 'social centres for the men. Dances, ,socials" and parties are being ar- ranged for them constantly. Branch- es are supplying ambulances,mo- bile canteens, cigarettes, parcels; magazines and • papers, clothing, sweaters, socks, towels, comforts, ditty bags, and are working in num- erous other ways fpr the 'boys in uniform. ONJUNEFIRST The next salvage collection ' by The Clansmen will be held on Mon-. day; June lst. That's just ten days away, so its not too soon to start a' thorough . clean -tip of all salvage materials and have it ready for the collectors. . The material collected early in April amounted to almost nine tons and netted the cigarette fund $109.71, but almost .half of this has already been expended: by The Clansmen, with the issuing this . r: $4.n �i:^ -F, Week- � Oz � a �^•-iler..x, StSa '".pa+a:v:�i'"" sCvF:, smokes' for the boys overseas from this district. With salvage so vital and -se val- uableevery scrap of it should be saved. If more funds are realized. than what is necessary to assure a"refilar flow of cigarettes over- seas, it will be used for other war work, as under the National. Salvage Campaign all funds must ,be used for war work purposes. The prospect is, however, that salvage receipts are more likely tc be short. as the overseas cigarette shipments increase steadily in num- bers. In this 'case it may, be neves= sary to confine shipment of cigar- ettes . to those rural - communities, which are contributing to the local' salvage collection. A considerable amount of salvage is being delivered by rural residents to the depot at Johnston's Feed Barn. Such co-operation is apprec- iated as it avoids expense. There are cases, -however, ,where delivery' of scrap is impossible. and 'the Sal- vage Committee has decided that if sufficient quantities are aVailabk an effort will be made to conduct a rural collection. : Therefore anyone ' with a . worth while quantity of scrap, which can- not' be delivered, is asked to leave word at The Sentinel Office or tele- phone 35 and collection ,arrange- ments will be made if possible. • • Items. Of Value. It is again stressed that all classes of salvage should be; kept separate. Papers.., and . magg alines should be 11 tied securely, and rags bagged possible. Bottles and small rultber articles, as well as scrap paper, can be bagged or packed in cardboards cartons. • ' White glass bottles, and' broken white glass are valuable, and most everyone has some .of_: this.. In the last shipment the glass. had a value pi $9.78, and that was only the be- ginning of salvaging that class of scrap. All metals except tin cans), rub- ber of all . descriptions, and paper, magazines and books area equally valuable, while rags are in urgent demand. • Keep in mind that June 1st is the next collection in the village. If you live in the countrybring it in or tell us about it; please.

' Prompt payment -of subscrip- tions as the expire ' is a mattter of importance to the publisher and we ask the co-, operation of our readers in this respect.

FAILURE TO REPORT 'for train- ing and parade with the 97th .Re- serve, R.C.A. Battery, mat' Walker- ton, alker-ton, resulted -in a charge being pre- ferred against Gerald Brindley, 18 -- year-old Riversdale. district young Man. l? .__ an, Heap eared before Magistrate F. W. Waltzer and pleaded not' guilty' to two charges of failing to turn out for parade and disuseof the uniform. On evidence of his com manding . officer, Major P. S. Mac- Kenzie, and Lieut. T: Baillie, he was convicted and remanded tosjail for one week for sentence. This is the first case .of a member of the Re- serve Army in this, district having been brought before the court on such charges, although there have been cases of young mess after sign- ing up taking the matter of train- ing very lightly and failing to re- port. Brindley claimed he could not easily get into Walkerton for train- ing periods. Provincial Officer Me- Clevis testified • that when he called' upon the accused' to advise him to report for training he was .wearing the unifeirm for .working abbut the farm.
