To Mr. and Mrs. Keith Sharpe. Dear friends,—We have gathered here at this time to extend our congratula- tions and our felicitations to you on the occasion of your honeymoon visit to Seaforth, Harpurhey and vicinity. We appreciate the fact, Mrs. Sharpe, that you have selected for a husband one of the most popular young men of this community, and we must es- pecially congratulate you on ,your achievement in this regard. We also appreciate the fact, Keith, that you are one of our country's young men who have offered their services ab this time in defence of the Liberty and Freedom our Canadian people have enjoyed for so long a time, and which is now apparently hanging in the balance. That you have chosen the Air Force as the arm of our fightingforces with which you intend to serve, is a clear indication to us that a most interesting, a most stren- uous and a most exciting ..experience loons ahead for you in the coming weeks and months, or perhaps years, although we are all hoping that vic- tory will not be too long ,delayed. And it is our sincere wish that you will_ come through it all with 'flying colors and will return to us at the conclusion of the war, safe and sound: and that Mrs. Sharpe and yourself will settle down in our midst, and assist us to build a sound and honorable and a most construc- tive citizenship in this highly favored land of ours. It is also our sincerest wish that your venture on the matri- monial'sea will bring you the. great- est possible measure of happiness and prosperity in the years which lie ahead. Sharpe is a splendid name, of that we are all aware, and it is worthy of perpetuation in this glori- ous land of ours—and we will all be looking forward to hearing favorably from you in that connection with the passage of time. In conclusion let us just say: Long life to you: and prosperity too. s the wish of your friends, what more can we do; Let us have a few' lines, by the use of your pen, And; God be with you, till we meet gain.

It certainly is very kind of you to think of me over here and I cer- tainly appreciate it. You should see the smile on us when we get cigar- ettes from home because when we have to buy them here they cost a1 shilling for ten cigarettes, so it is pretty expensive. 1 just came hack nif seven days leave last Friday. 1 spent it with my wife and we hada t grand time.

If you have lived in Huron county and then moved at a later date to some other section of the country you must have been amazed by the " number of people who told you that they also were natives of the grand old county.

Now is the Hine Canada wants your salvage. Gather up all the rubber on your farm, all the old metal (except tin cans, gal- vanized and enamelled ware),all your old magazines, all old ooks from your home, churches and schools, all newspapers and othe paper, rags are needed as never be- fore—every old rag around the house and barn that you have dis- carded will be turned back into pro- duction, and the money will be used for war charities. Gather up all your old bottles (no window glass, please), and render all your fats into wide- mouthed tins or bottles to produce much-needed grease for war pur- poses. This is YOUR chance to help your country, and at the same time make a real spring clean-up on your farm. This collection is in charge of committee member Gordon McGavin, of Walton, and Crawford M. Smith, of Seaforth, chairman, and any ad- ditional information will be gladly supplied' by either of these men. Last week a record was made by the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps. Salvage was collected from the East Side and Egmondville from 4 to 6 last Tuesday afternoon. An army of sorters appeared on the scene at 8 o'clock and worked hr'oughout the evening.

On October 13, 14, 15 and 16 it is expected that thousands of them will come back to the county, They will want to meet old friends and renew their ties with Huron county. Percy Passmore will be in charge of the arrangements to snake certain that when these former. -residents come r' back they will enjoy themselves heartily. Percy is a real farmer. He is also a real plowman. His love for the soil is a deep-rooted thing and he has of- ten said that he gets more real en- joyment out of following a team on a plow than from any other single thing on his farm. Percy has long been associated with Municipal politics. Last year he was elected to succeed the late James Leiper as Warden of the county. He did the job up in the best traditions and left with the complete respect of every man in the council. Percy is a quiet man. Ile doesn't assert himself on every trivial ques- tion which cones along, but he can be quite definite on subjects of worth. Basing his convictions on ex- perience and good common sense he'll tell you exactly what he. thinks. You can depend oh it that no stones will be left unturned as far as the Local Day is concerned in the matter of the International Plowing Match in Huron County this fall. folks to tell thein that I got it but I guess they never got the letter.
