In addition to the above, we are indebted to the Hensall-Zurich War Time Committee for a donation of $50 and to the Exeter Lions Club for $15, a percentage on the tickets handled by Hensall business people in connection with their recent frolic. The citizens will also be pleased to know that the scrap and waste paper gathered early in the summer were sold a few days ago for $88.25. The officers of the branch are truly grateful to all can­ vassers, -but especially to those in the rural sections as the canvass was conducted during a very busy period. The canvass to date has produced approximately $100 more than at the same stage in 1939. Many have given most generously, but those few who have failed to contribute and all who'wish to give further may leave theii’ donations with W. R. Davidson, George Hess oi’ I-I. A.
