VARA Red Crosti Notes,— How long will this war last? Not one among us but longs for the day when peace will settle over the world, when families will be re -unit- ed, when our lives will return to normal. Are we doing all we can to bring that day nearer? This is a great task. Let us not be half-hearted in our individual effort to accomplish it. If we slacken and leave things for someone else to do, this war may bring upon us bitter defeat. - When we look back at the end of the year may each one of us be able to say "I am happy to have done my full share." Here is an extremely grave situation facing Canada's war effort, the difficulty of procuring' raw mat- erials in sufficient quantities for turning out all the weapons of war which must be produced in ever-in- creasing quantities if we are to win through to victory. Salvage- offers one solution to this problem. The Varna Red Cross unit is arranging for a salvage drive to take place very soon. The committee will be composed of voluntary 'workers with limited transportation facilities, who will call at- the homes and bring the collection into the village. Bert Bu- chanan has generously offered his truck to deliver it to the city. If your donations are not called for next week or the following week, have pa- tience, but be ready. The need is -argent and, the scrap is needed noiv, The salvage asked for is battles, zinc, aluminum, copper, brass, cast-iron, steel; waste rags are very essential and could be put up in jute sacks, Rubber is a vital necessity, also pa- per, which should be carefully sorted out and done up neatly in tight bundles, magazines kept separately and tied up securely for handling. Every day of every month let us save needed material for war pur- poses, which ordinarily would be wasted, PAGE i'l'VE Protein Substitutes, AO Not Found in Choiceteria Feeds Due to the present market shortage of certain essential Animal and Vegetable Protein Feeds, it may be necessary for some feed companies to use substitutes.

Grant conducted the service and preached on the subject of "Life Beyond the Grave," pointing out the evidence for the belief in the teach- ing and life of Jesus along with statements of His interpreters in the New Testament. He announced that Sunday next he would discuss the objections sometimes presented by those who profess to deny this Christian truth, In the evening there was a fair attendance to see and hear of the work carried on by our Church in West Africa. There were pictures of village life with bush schools, region- al schools and station schools, the whole crowned by Institutes of Learning. It was a story of wonder- ful progress. An old fellow, crossing the Atlan- tic, was leaning over the rail when the information fiend tapped him on the shoulder. "Sir," he said with a wave of his hand, "do you know that if the earth were flattened out the sea would be miles deep all over the world?" The old fellow looked impressed. "Well," he replied, "if you catch any- one flatenhng out • the earth, shoot hint on the spot. I can't swim!" Communication Editor The Seaforth News. Dear Sir, --Through your news- paper, which has been of very great assistance in the Campaign, we would like to congratulate the people of Seaforth and surrounding territory, as well as the people of Huron coun- ty as a whole, for their magnificent achievement in the Second Victory Loan Campaign, Those who worked long hours to make this achievement possible, men such as Mr. James Mullen, your County Vice Chairman, and Mr. M. A. Reid deserve great praise, as do County Chairman G. L. Parsons, Publicity Chairman Chas. K. Saun- ders, Employee Chairman W. C. At- tridge, Administration Chairman Harvey Erskine, and Messrs. Bob Bowman, Jim Kinkead, Jim Shearer and R. N. reech, other county Vice Chairmen. The speakers who disre- garded snow, ice and cold winds to place the Victory loan message be- fore the people of Huron were also a very important factor in the suc- cess of the campaign. We know something of the work and worry these men have put into their jobs— without any personal reward what- ever and frequently at the cost of heavy personal sacrifice. Huron is fortunate in having men who couple their marked ability with unselfish public spirit. Many others too numerous to men- tion here have contributed in an im- portant way to the county's success- ful campaign. It would be unfair, however, to close without applauding the efforts of the salesmen who spent a tremendous amount of time - and energy doing their work under ex- tremely difficult conditions; and Mr. Harold Williams, the county secret- ary,. who worked long hours to dup- licate the excellent job he did in the last campaign. The people of Huron have been to us all that Huron's most ardent boos- ters have claimed for them—and more. For the ability of the people of Huron to do a good job—we con- gratulate them; and for their friend- ly hospitality we sincerely thank them. Yours very truly, H. J. VANDEWATER, Organizer. B. L. COYNE, Assistant Organizer. WINTHROP The Red Cross met at the church on Tuesday when 4 quilts were quilt- ed.' The cooking sale to be held on April 4th at Mi'. Hudson's store was discussed.
