SALVAGE BULLETIN Canada faces a serious shortage of fats and oils for war 'industries. Accordingly, a Dominion -wide cam- paign has been inaugurated for the salvaging of all waste kitchen fats. This campaign is to last "for the duration." As a housewife, you are asked to save all fats, and render them into wide-mouthed cans. (Crisco tins or corn syrup pails make very handy containers). Keep your con- tribution until collection day, which will arrive a few days after New Years Day. Cr if you live in the country, you may bring your parcel when you come to town and leave it at the front door of Salvage Head- quarters, where it will be quickly hooked after, It is increasingly hard to get art- icles for children. Perhaps in your attic you may have a baby's crib or a children's bed, a high chair or a set of small chairs and table. Or you may find a set of roller skates, a sleigh, toboggan, wagon, train or anytoy that would delight a child. If the article you find will be of no further use in your home, your Sal- vage Committee will appreciate it as a donation. If convenient to bring it downtown and leave at Salvage Headquarters,' your contribution might be sold before Christmas, and may bring' Christmas happiness to some child who might not otherwise receive something of this sort. The proceeds will be ' donated to War Charities, ' CHANCEL GUILD The regular meeting of the Chan- cel Guild of St. Thomas' Church was held at the home of Miss C.

While we recognize the danger and appreciate the sacrifice you will- ingly make in enlisting in a service so vitally' necessary in this war, a service where life is one continual game of chance with the odds against you, yet we must laud the spirit that prompts the action,the same spirit that has animated thousands of your fellow countrymen, the spirit of loyalty to the principles of freedom and liberty, and so we appreciate each individual who is added to the right side of the scale. If to be a pilot is your ambition we hope you obtain the pilot's goal— your wings—(by the way, Mr. Amos Corby intends to have a pair but they will not be ready until after Christ- mas, the large .size). We tender you this as a' memento of this evening, among your many friends, which you will kindly accept and may it often remind you that you have many friends back in the old town of Seaforth, .whose hope and prayer will be for your safe re- turn, along with all those who are and will be doing their bit in - the fight for freedom over there."
