During that time there have been 13 salvage collections in Seaforth and Egmond- ville, and one collection each in the McKillop, Hullett, and Tuckersmith 'sections included in the Seaforth and district Red Cross district. During this period a total amount of 277,- 092 lbs. of salvage have been collect- ed, which is a little over 138 tons. In addition to this, many articles that were collected were re -sold as rum- mage, and brought a touch higher price than if they had been sold as salvage. To date a total amount of $2,2'79.44 has been realised from the sale of salvage and rummage. Every soldier in this district who is overseas was sent a box by the overseas committee, for which the Salvage Committee donated the ent- ire amount of $360.712. The Red Cross received $600; the Russian Medical Aid, $500; British War Vic- tims, $200; Chinese Relief $100; and cheques are being forwarded for $50 each to the Salvation Army Home War Services and Knights of Columbus War Services, The com- mittee are financing the sending of cigarettes to soldiers overseas by the Seaforth Overseas Committee. All this has been made possible by the people of Seaforth and district who have dug down deep in cellars and attics, woodsheds, garages, barns, and in every nook and corner cf their farms. But there is more sal- vage, lots of it. The continued co- operation of every farmer in the coming rural collections will bring tons of salvageback into production and the money obtained will be used for worthy war charities. *• JAMES McCLUSKEY The death of James McCluskey, well known and respected resident of McKillop, died on Friday morning, Sept. 18, in Scott Memorial Hospi- tal, in his 83rd year.

Red Cross Notes • It has been arranged that Monday night will be kept as the. regular night for the work on surgical dress- ings. If you are not a worker will you begin next week. The draw on the quilt and table cloth will be made in the Red Cross booth at the fall fair on Friday. If you have not purchased your tickets you may do so that day. A meeting of representatives of the various organizations of Seaforth and surrounding community was held in the town hall on Friday last with Dr. Burrows presiding. A letter from headquarters asking for blood donors was read and after discussion it was unanimously agreed that this locality ask to have the "Blood Donors Mo- bile Unit" visit Seaforth and hold a clinic at their convenience. This unit works three towns in a day and it is hoped to have them here in the even- ing. Blood transfusions have become so emanon in every day life that their value needs no explanation. This work for Red Cross began in Toronto, but since Jan. 1941 clinics have been opened up in Hamilton, Ottawa, Kingston, Brantford, Lon- don, St. Catherines and Windsor. It is hoped that the quota of donors will be 3,000 a week for 1942. The jam committee made 352 lbs. of apple jelly and 80 lbs. of pear marmalade on Tuesday. Some idea of the work done may be had from the fact that the work begins with whole apples and that from them there was 33 gallons of juice to be made into jelly.
