There will be a salvage collection in the East Side of Seaforth on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 19th. The collection will include all of Seaforth East of Main street, the stores on both sides of the street, also Eg- mondville and Little Scotland. This grand fall weather provides you with an opportunity for a clean-up around the yard and garage, in addition to the cellar and attic. Rags of all kinds are desired; rubber tires and tubes; iron, steel and other metals, such as brass, aluminum, copper, zinc; paper, magazines and cardboard; battles of all kinds, also grease and dry bones. And don't forget rummage articles, many items that you have discarded and stored away will be very useful to someone else and the money paid will be given to needy war charities. • While your committee is hoping to announce rural collections within the next two or three weeks, farmers can help individually. Why not gath- er up all your salvage and bring it in town with you the next time you come and leave it at the front door of salvage headquarters. Every /ar- mor that helns in this way will mean one less home that has to be visited by the collection trucks and will greatly help those busy farmers who will be giving their time and trucks to make rural collections possible.
