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.

TO COLLECT SCRAP
LEGION MEMBERS HELP
MAKE THINGS EASIER
FOR MEN IN UNIFORM ,
By Hal Miller -
Canadian fighting men, at home
and abroad, are happier because of
the efforts' of Lucknow District war
veterans and -the 'other members of
the 1.,200 Canadian Legion branches
- in every city, town and rural com-
munity Of the Dominion, Lt. -Col.
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.
