WORKERS WANTED
BY RED CROSS
When you come to town now,
please notice the large sign bn the
front of the Red Cross work room in
Wingham. When you enter the hall,
another sign directs you to,, the prop
er room and there you will see the
charter of the Wingham IJranch of
the Red (Cross hanging on the wall.
So it is hoped, now that the place is
known, the women of the community
will'rally in Jarge numbers and do
their share of the sewing and knitting
which is becoming more needed every
day. Sewing machines, tables’and'all
equipment is ready for the workers.
Criticism, destructive criticism, is,
we all know, fatally easy; far easier
than helpful and constructive words
and deeds. In this connection, let us
assure you that the Red Cross does
not sell any articles whatever. - So, if
you are faced with this story, will you
please contradict it with the authority
of Canadian Red Cross Headquarters.

BELIEVED STOLEN

Bundles of money, totalling be
tween $1,900 and $2,000 in Canadian
notes, and some silver, property of

burn, were stolen or lost from the
trunk of ■ an automobile somewhere
between Dungannon and Goderich or
Goderich arid Auburn, a distance of
24 miles, last Wednesday evening.
Both police and bank officials have
kept the loss secret. Despite a thor
ough search the money has not been
recovered.
Inspectors of the bank, sent to in
vestigate the occurrence, completed
their investigation. While nothing
definite was given out, the angle tak
en by them leans to the theory that
the money was stolen on the trip
from the suV-brancli Of the bank at
Dungannon to Goderich. .Auburn
branch officials were in charge of the
car at the time.
Another theory is that the door of
the car trunk ..was left unlocked start
ing the trip or worked loose dur
ing the journey and that the'money,
in a wooden box without a cover,
bounced out of the box on to the gray
vel road; the silver, -packages break
ing and spilling. The, box remained
in the trunk compartment when the
loss was discovered.
Manager Sheppard and Teller Cam-,
eron left Atiburn in the morning for
Dungannon, a sub-branch. At the find
of the day’s business, at 4 o’clock,
they left Dungannon with the cash for
Goderich to deposit some American
silver.
This done, they are reported to
have left for their home branch, at

the money was found to be missing.
