As Zing as' our t oops are engaged with the enemy there will be casual- ties, and t: a need for blood plasma for the wounded, Of late, there has been a falling off in our local clinic which has become alarming.. Perhaps this is because some 'may think the war is se near its end that a donation of blood is no longer as necessary as it was .'formerly. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that from now on, and for some time to come, the need for blood will increase rather than diminish. Those in the services, are not only fighting our war; but are acting as blopcl donors. Our local: clinic requires 100 new donors. If' you•, give no other Christmas gifts, you, are urged not,to neglect giving this life-saving offering. The nett .Clinton. Clinic will be held on Tuesday, De- cember 19th. The Tuesday before - Christmas, Regi>tration may'be made at the oftire of the' Town Clerk, or at the Department of Agriculture. MILITARY NEWS 7V1ve.

Here are ways in which you can help :- 1. Don't rush to the Post Office as soon as the mail arrives and visit with your neighbour, It takes an hour to sort the mail and the hum of conversation distracts workers and slows sortation. 2. Don't bring• your parcels and delay the general delivery while they are bang weighed. Post them before 11.30 and after 8 p.m. 3. Post letters and cards early. Remember your neighbour's main is every bit as important as yours, so don't expect it aII to go if its posted at the last minute. Trains don't wait. 4. If you have a number of cords and letters, stamp and face them all the same way and tie in a bundle. This saves the Post Office Clerk or Rural Courier ane handling. If these rules are followed it will save delay in the despatch of mails from this office, Mrs. Wright left on .Saturday far Toronto after having spent ti week with her aunt, Mrs, D. A.
