He deplored mo- dern useage of the word "love" which has debased its meaning to that of lust. "Just as counterfeit money can- not destroy the value of real mo- ney, neither can lust take away the real value of love," he stated.

The school remained open for inspec- tion by the visitors. 4 HURT CLQ;UNTY CROP REPORT D. H. Miles Agricultural Representative, for Huron County. Almost all white beans are now sown with a larger acreage than usual. Now most crops are sown. Haying has started with a fair acreage cut—haying will be gen- eral towards end of week. Recent rains will help late sown crops and pasture. Early tramping on fields that were not rotational grazed may cause a short pasture crop. Can You -- Give Blood? Next Monday night a member of the Zurich Lions Club will be calling at your home in the village, to ask if you are willing to be a blood donor for the Canadian Red Cross Society, There is an urgent need for blood, so be generous and volunteer, if you are able to do so. If 100 donors can be lined up, a clinic will be held at Zur- ich sometime during July. Anyone residing outside the village who will donate blood is asked to call in at the Bank of Montreal, the Citizens News office, or Deichert's Meat Market, and register as soon as possible. Through the efforts of the Red Cross Society, there is no longer a charge for blood used in giving transfusions. Anyone who needs blood may now receive the benefits of this service, thanks to thousands of volunteer donors throughout the country. Nothing you'll ever do --no time you'll ever spend --can more richly rewarding than the few minutes yon'Il spend in giving blood, There is also the added assurance that, if everyone gives, there will be blood in. the bank when you, or a 'member of your family, needs it. At the same time the members of the Lions Club will be ask- ing for any old eye glasses which you may have around. These glasses will be forwarded to India, where they'will be used in mak- ing glasses for thousands of needy in that country.
