The effort 'is a community one, everyone 'being ask- ed to assist. Vegetables of ail kinds will be also apples,canned acceptable, d goods, beans, oatmeal, canned fruit, honey, maple syrup, sugar, flour, in fact everything in the way of good eating, with the exception al anything which is too perishable. The Seaforth comnenity sent a car last week and had so much left over after ,packing it that 'another is being sent this week. But, evidently, there is little danger of sending too much and there are people •at.the oth- er end ready to make distribution of all goods sent. The need is to get all those things which frost will injure to their des- tination before the severe weather comes.
