The rubber salvage drive is overt The rural mail couriers brought into I Seaforth the equivalent of 3,000 lbs.1 of scrap rubber. When one considers the fact that the people of Seaforth and district have contributed, in ad- dition to this amount, over 26,000 lbs. of rubber since collections start- ed in. March, it is felt that a very worthy effort has been made, and Postmaster C. P. Sills and the Sea - forth and district Salvage Corps wish to thank all who co-operated in this very necessary rubber salvage drive. If you still find some rubber, bring it in to town the first time you come, and leave it in the doorway of sal- vage headquarters. All metal coat hangers are badly needed, as no new ones are now be- ing produced. These are sold as hangers rather than as salvage, and ' if you will dig up all the old ones you can find for the next collection, they will help to fill in a very definite shortage.
