On Tuesday, October 12, the men and wo- men of the home front will support those on other fronts by donating their blood at the Third Blood Donor Clinic, to be held in Wesley Willis Church, We must realize that Canada has very little serum in reserve— only enough to care for one major of- fensive. It takes two donations to make one bottle of serum, and then from three to five bottles of serum are necessary for one transfusion. Actu- ally at least six people must give their 450 c. c.'s before one transfu- sion can .be made. The Red Cross needs many more - volunteers. Won't you back the attack, by helping to save the life of some soldier, sailor, or airman, and thus hasten the fin- ish of the war, and the -return of our youth? Ladies, see your own phys- ician to prove your fitness to donate. Enlist your services with Dr. Shaw, James ,Shearer, or the Town Clerk, and make this our best and largest clinic to date.

V Committee Named for 5th Victory Loan Reverend W. A. Beecroft , general chairman of the fifth Victory Loan, has been very busy with the organ- izers appointing chairmen and com- mittee members throughout the Coun- try. Mr. Beecroft reporta that he is very gratified to date as practically every one of the old chairmen and committee members have agreed to act in this campaign. In accepting these responsibilities the voluntary committee members are making a very great contribution to the. suc- cess of the Victory Loan and to Can- ada's war effort as this work entails a great deal of time and sacrifice on the part of these men with absolutely no remuneration. The annual appeal for funds to help the Salvation Army in its Home Front work is being conducted in Clinton, and once again citizens are having an opportunity to support a worthy cause. The regular peace -time work of the Army in Chilton and district always carries, on, but it is being greatly increased by the fact that so many of our amen are away from their homes in the armed services. This causes an additional strain on Salvation Arany Funds, as morale among the men must be maintained. There is nothing of greater importance to our fighting men than to know that their families at home will be helped by a competent, experienced organiza- tion if things should go wrong with their loved ones, The record of the Salvation Army in this type of work is known to everyone and it has always /had the support of Clinton people. This year the Army requires about $1400 from Clinton and district. The committee in charge are now m.akiiig a house to house canvass and With . some assistance hope to finish this week. Owing to illness of mhem- bers of the committee, the canvass- ing has been held up some, but Cap- tain Davies reports that they expect to finish this week and are making fair progress.
