BLOOD DONOR CLINIC TO RE-OPEN SOON Clinic Will Be Held Here Wednesday, August 22nd Continued support of the Blood Donor Service and urgent necessity for donors to continue their faithful at- tendance at clinics is urged in view of the fact that Ottawa has announced that there are to be about 35,000 Can- adian troops in the Pacific. Blood serum must be made available to the wounded in that theatre of war. Canadian Red Cross blood donor clinics will re-open next month. The next clinic will be held here Wednesday, August 22. Mr. Russell T, Kelley, Chairman of Canadian Red Cross Blood Donor service in Ontario, emphasizing the need for continued support of the public, pointed out; "While the war with Germany is over, the war with Japan is far from finish- ed. There are two big reasons (in- cluding that stated above) why the service must continue, The British Government has asked 'the Canadian Government, and they in turn have re- quested Canadian Red Cross for 150,- 000 bottles of blood serum annually until the war is won. To produce that quantity will require 500,000 donations annually in Canada and' Ontario has agreed to produce half of that total, on a basis of ,5,500 donations weekly.

Stewart of Lucknow Were Guest Preachers Pine River United Church of Huron Township, Bruce County, had a very successful anniversary on Sunday. The church was filled for both services in spite of the rain in the morning. At the morning service, the Rev. J. C. Nicholson of Kincardine presided. Rev. W, Stewart of Lucknow United Church was the special speaker. In his sermon he dwelt specially on the Fatherhood of God. All enjoyed the special music by the choir, assisted by Miss Minnie Steele, RN., of Toronto General Hospital, and Mr. Walter Walden of Olivet. Miss T. G. Welsh was organist and trained the choir, All enjoyed very much two soloi, "Beside Still Waters" and "How Lovely are Thy Dwellings", given by Mrs. Donald McLean of Lucknow. In the evening Rev. J. C. Hutton the pastor, opened the service assisted by Rev, J. C. Nicholson. Rev, Bee- croft of Wingham, was the special speaker, He dwelt on the fact, that life is a fight and Christians must light against all things and peoples not in accordance with God's will.

Mrs. Beecroft accompanied her hus- band as also did Mrs. Reavie. The Church was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns.

Durham Obtained New Industry A Kitchener Overall and Shirt Com- pany have decided to locate in Dur- ham. Work has begun on a concrete foundation on a vacant lot next to the property of the late Mrs. Milburn in upper town. The building will be 120 by 84 and they expect to begin work in October. They will employ some 15 men and 35 girls. A group of Dur- ham business men are interested in the project, WANT OF WATER MEANS LESS MS Water 'for hens is an important item in egg production, particularly during hot weather. Hens require an abund- ance of clean, fresh water before them at all times, and especially at laying time-the early morning and after- noon. Hens have no sweat glands, They depend on their lungs to throw off body moisture. Prolonged lack of water entails parched lungs and suf- fering. Lack, of sufficient fresh water re- sults in lowered egg production, and egg quality is lowered when liens are forced to drink dirty stagnant water. A hen seeks a drink of water the first thing after leaving a nest and she will drink more water when it is kept freSh than when it is changed only once a day. Every egg is wanted to meet the demand, TREE FRUIT PROSPECT According to an official report, the total production of tree-fruits in ,Can- ada this season will be much below normal, Despite excellent prospects in British Columbia the poor crops in eastern Canada (the result of adverse weather during the critical period) have brought anticipated supplies to an unusually low level. The first estimate of the apple crop indicates a reduction from the very alrge crop of 1944 of 52 per cent, or 8,183,00 bushels compared with 16,879,000 in 1944. The pear crop, estimated at 557,000 'bushels is expected to be the smallest since 1935, and it is anticipated that plum and prune and peaches will show a reduc- tion of 24 per cent, owing to the small crops in eastern Canada. Cherries, despite a large crop in British Colum- bia, will also show a decline. Unlike tree fruits, the small fruit crops are all above the 1944 level. SALEM Miss Margaret Mitchell of Moles- worth, called on Mr. and Mrs, W. E, Weir one day last week.
