In Canada this year, the Red Cross is seeping $5,422,850. The allocation to Seaforth and district remains at $2000. This is an allocation which has been exceeded here for three successive years. The work of the Canadian Red Cross goes on year after year through the help of voluntary giv- ings. Last year, when the North Sea flooded the Netherlands, victims re- ceived Canadian Red Cross emer- 'gency relief supplies within 48 hours. In our own land, one of the projects of the Red Cross is to provide the Canadian Government with blood to aid in the fight against polio. The local branch of the Red Cross last year made and shipped more than 1300 articles of sewing and knitting, etc. In addition, cod liver oil was supplied to district school nurses to distribute to children of families where it could not be afforded, Canadian Red Cross services and supplies are not sold, When assist- ance is given it is provided through voluntary contributions. Canvassers and sub -chairmen are now being ap- pointed for the local campaign. It is hoped that all people in the district will gladly support "The work of mercy that never ends"..

BELIEVE NO DANGER FROM OLD SALT WELLS Although local people are not too greatly alarmed by the possibility of a cave-in occurring here, similar to the one at Windsor at the salt wells, still it has made some discuss don. Seaforth was at one time a great salt producing centre, but for the past fifty years there has been little activity here in salt. With the giant Ontario -Michigan salt basin underlying about 3,000 square miles of Western Ontario, and in the light of last week's cave-in disaster in Windsor, it is fair for other Western Ontario communities to ask: Could it happen here? The possibility seems remote for- tunately because only a minute frac- tion of this giant salt reservoir has been worked, and where it has been --at Sarnia, Goderich, Clinton, Sand- wich, Windsor, Exeter, Parkhill, Warwick, Courtright, Wingham and Kincardine— conditions similar to those that existed under the Wind- sor plant of CIL are not apparent. The possibilities of the situation however warrant a closer look at the history of the Ontario salt industry for Dr. E. G. Pleva, head of the Geography Department, University of Western Ontario, warned on Sat- urday that similar cave-ins "could" occur anywhere through Western Ontario where workings have exca- vated salt formations. 'Commercial production of salt in Ontario has been going on since the middle 1860s when a•roup drilling for oil in the Goderich area failed in their original quest but found a profit when they struck a solid bed of high grade rock salt some '960 feet below the surface. .Since then Ontario has been pro- ducing about 90 per cent of the na- tion's salt and production has in- creased slowly until now this pro- vincial industry earns about $5,000,- 000 on an annual output of about 700,000 tons. The definite boundaries of the great salt basin have not been defin- itely determined but the area under- lain by salt that has been proved by drilling is contained about within the lines joining the towns of Inver- hnron, Teeswater, Brussels, Sea - forth, London, St. Thomas, on the west, and Thamesville, Dresden, across Lake St. Clair, through Elni- stead to a point on the Detroit River between Amherstburg and Sandwich. The southeast boundary of the salt area is vague along the north shore. of Lake Erie between St. Thomas and Chatham. However re- cords from a hole at Oxford, Kent County, show 171 feet of salt at 1,510 feet below the surface, and another at Glencoe shows 104 feet of salt at the 1,290 foot level.
