That Car Should Go Out Loaded As an urgent appeal has come from the west for fruit and vege- tables, clothing, etc., a car of such needed supplies- is being gathered in this locality and it is expected that this will be shipped next week.. This is being done under the Joint Com- mittee. of The Churches For Western Relief, comppsed of officials of the Presbyterian, Church of England, Baptist, United and Roman Catholic. Churches. The railway companies have again offered to carry such cars free of charge and committees at the other end are ready to distribute whatever is sent to the places most in need. It is the intention to have the car ship- ped before heavy frost, so that more fruit and vegetables can be included. This ear is to be made up of such, clothing, etc„ being sent by individ- ual churches later or at another thee. From this section, where fruit and vegetables are so plentiful, it should be easy to fill a car. Let's all help. If we have no fruit or no vegetables, we can buy some. Everyone can give at least a little to fill up a car. Discuss Transient Problem The adjourned meeting of repre- sentatives of Huron urban municipal- ities, called to discuss the transient question, was held in Clinton Tues- day evening. W. I3. Golding, M.P., and James Ballantyne, M.L.A. for South Huron, were among those pre- sent and took part in the discussion. Mayor W. S. R.Holmes, of Clinton, presided and James Wilson, town clerk of Seaforth,, was secretary. The general concensus of opinion was that the cost of caring for tran- sients was comparatively unimpor- tant when compared with the moral effect on the transient andonthose with whom they come in. contact. Sev- eral- speakers urged that homeless unemployed be placed in coneentra- tion camps, but they were reminded by Mr. Golding of theunfortunate experience of the Government with labour .camps. A resolution - was drawn up by a committee made up as follows: Warden Brown, of Brussels; Reeve McNeil, : Blyth; Reeve Scott, Sea - forth, and Councilor Sills,' of Sea- forth.—That the municipality in which a transient was last employed' for a period of 12 months should be responsible for his welfare, was pas- sed by these representatives. The rough draft of the resolution was to the effect that all unemploy- ed should be registered and that each municipality should be responsible for finding work and providing main- tenance and that the municipality' in which the unemployable transient was last at work for a period of 12 months 'should be responsible. It further urged that the railways be requested by the Government to en- force the law already passed to pre- vent transients travelling on the rail- ways, and that legislationbe passed making it an offense for motorists to give transients lifts on the highways.
