Weekly Salvage Bulletin
East Side and Egmondville Coltec
tion, Tuesday, Nov. 16th.
There will be a Salvage Collec-
tion in the East Side of Seaforth on
Tuesday, Nov. 16th, starting at 4
in the afternoon. The collection 'will
include all ]tomes East of Main St„
the stores of both sides of the
street, also Egmondville and Little
Scotland. You are asked to make a
final clean-up for the year, as this
will probably be the last "East Side
and Egmondville" collection in 1943,
Last Wednesday was a busy clay
around Salvage Headquarters, when
a steady stream of trucks brought
salvage from McKillop and Hullett.
Busy farmers took their tune and
their trucks and brought in many
loads of salvage, the sale of which
will materially raise the total of
money that the committee can don-
ate to War Charities. Committee
members Gordon McGavin and W. L.
Whyte were in charge of this very
successful collection.
The West Side collection on last
Tuesday brought in a good assort-
ment of Salvage, In the - evening,
sorters arrived from St. James' Ro-
man Catholic Church and made quick
work of sorting and preparing the
salvage for market.
Have you an old tea box, bushel
basket or barrel? If so, leave it out
on collection day and it will be pick-
ed up. These are very handy to use
as containers for shipping glass.
