All of which has meant that sal­ vage collection in Hensall and dis­ trict has not. yet got under 'way. Housecleaning days mean salvage days and with that in mind the local salvage committee has designated May as "-Salvage Month", Plans are being laid for a blitzkrieg of the village some gang of clean up the village of all vage that you can put out. ing your .housecleaning please collect all the paper, tai, old rags, old rubber and any­ thing else that the Red Cross can sell. But glass is out. At present there is no market for it, so please do not include it in your gift to the salvage drive. Hensall is not producing all the fat it should. It may be that you think that the little fat your kitch­ en produces will not be valuable enough to make it worth while sav­ ing. The war effort wants and needs every last drop of fat that can be obtained, so everybody is again asked to get a clean can and put into it all the kitchen fats they are able to get. When you get a bit. say a full can—take it down to the Red -Cross salvage rooim-s and your contribution will help to make a lot of fat and a lot of ex­ plosives.’ And at the -same time you will be helping the Red Cross. You can get the key to the salvage rooms at Goodwin’s store.
