Mr. Moffatt, treasurer, of the Red -Cross .Society, reported that the campaign of the Society had now reached the objective of $3,500. with a little canvassing yet to be done, a few promises to be fulfilled and two or three reports to be received. The campaign com­ mittee hopes the work will be com­ pleted very soon, and suggests that those who have promised money, and those who have >heen missed in the canvass will call at the bank and hand their subscriptions to the treasurer. The officers of the Lions -Club reported a very substantial sum of money as the net result of the re­ cent frolic and this will he available very soon for the various War Time activities, at which time the club will suggest how they wish the money apportioned. The Club was congratulated on the excellent re­ sult of their efforts. Mr. Traquair and Mr. Stewart for the Waste Material committee re­ ported the collection of the material had been fairly well completed in Exeter, some farmers had brought in varying quantities, and some of the surrounding communities had made their .collections while others had just started or were about to j start. The committee was thank­ ed for their effort thus far and ask­ ed to continue until completed and then to dispose of the material to the best advantage. Considerable discussion took place on ways and means of contributing to the welfare and comfort of the men of the flying forces from Eng­ land, Australia and New Zealand, who are here to complete their training at Port Albert airport. These men are away from home, many of them married with loved ones in danger of bombing and earnest efforts should be made to make their stay with us as pleasant as possible. Canada is to be the training field for airmen from all over the Empire, and we want those men to know that Canadians are anxious to extend their hospitality to these men, even as British people are doing for our boys who are in the English camps.

There are hundreds of acres of beans still in the fields through­ out the country and most of the beans that have been harvested have been garnered in under very tricky weather. A few days of fine weather have been followed by rain. In the fine weather, beans have been pulled and bunched in the fields, and then came the rains and the beans have had to be turned. Men and women have repeatedly gone into the fields with pitch forks and turned over the bunches to prevent, the beans from rusting and spoiling, living in hope that the fine weather would continue long enough to allow the crop to be har­ vested. Quite a number have been fortunate in striking it lucky but for many others it has .been most discouraging. The price of beans has been quite attractive this being one reason why farmers are anx* 1 Ions to harvest a good crop.. in Home and School ac- Taylor, of Goderiqh, was take charge of the pro- Each Club gave a short re­ of FARM STOCK & IMPLEMENTS 19.56 20.44 650.OJ) Celebrated at Ottawa Donation to Exeter and I District War Time Board Victims Fund ...............
