The campaign in Huron will be unique in as much as produce or cash will be accepted. - A special agricul- tural committee of the executive headed by J Shearer, agricultural re- presentative, has been set up to han- dle this feature of the campaign. Mr. Shearer announced that already he has had a goat offered. Enthus- iasm ran high and before the meeting broke up, Hugh Hill, wall -known breeder of Guernsey cattle of Huron offered a grade Guernsey heifer calf, and Reeve Fred Watson of Stanley, five bushels of beans, The Western Foundry at Winghant has agreed to take all scrap metal offered the Huron War Services cam- paign. They will use all the scrap iron they can get and will find a inar- ket for any other metal with the ex- ception of tin cans. The Clinton Pipe Band played patri- otic airs outside and the meeting op- ened with W. S. R. Holmes, acting for the Mayor of Clinton, in the chair who extended a welcome and intro- educed J. D. Thomas, chairman of 1•.aren :0j -rutty War Services commit- tee. Mr. Thoma§ explained the purposes of the campaign and tuinou eed that the quota for Huron County is 220,000. ' A minute's silence was observed' in honor of the seven airmen from the An Navigation School 31, at Port Al- -hat who lost their lives when two Planes crashed at Botad Head, near Camp Borden. Andy Ley, representing the Y.M.G. A. at Sky Harbor, and the Air Navi- gation School, told of the work of the various eCl'w1CCS, Y M.G A. Salvation Canadian Legion, Knights ofE Army, Gart aid g g Columbus, Y.W.C.A., and I.0 D,E. He introduced three Royal Air Force, of- fivers of Port Albert. Mayor E. D. Brown of Goderich, made a vigorous appeal and Brigadier Ritchie and Major Flannigan, of the Salvation Army at , London,,, spoke briefly. this year for any of the auxiliary se - vices, ineluding the Red Cross. The produce or cash feature of ihr campaign will appeal particularly to the. people of Huron. For inslanct , the agricultural committee points out a farmer may not have ready cash on him when the canvasser calls, but with the generosity of all farm roll: he will be glad to give a pair of dress- ed chickens, a few dozen eggs, a fresh pork ham or, whatever may be handy at the time. Adequate means • will be provided of picking tip the produce and mar- keting it. The conunittce ends its appeal with: ."There are plenty of banks in the County of Huron to tako rare of the cash collections, but the agricultural representative, Jim Shearer, is scratching his head in perplexity at the thought of the tons of produce that will be rolling in. However, the will be ready for it—with plenty of !storage space." The meeting was most rcpresenta- - tive of the county. The district con- veners, Hugh Hill, W. L. Whyte, Herb. Campbell and Thomas Pryde, were introduced, .who in turn intro- duced the district or towwn chairmen. Meanwhile each municipality is set- ting up local organizations and plan- ning events designed to make the peo- ple campaign conscious. Iu Wingham next Sunday morning the campaign will be boosted when the Canadian Legion, the 99th Bat- tery and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Legion all parade to the Anglican Church for special services.
