DROUHT AREAAGAIN
NEEDS HELP, LETTER
FROM WEST STATES
With Car of Vegetables and
Fruit Sent As " in
Past Years.
LAPORTE HARD HIT
Conditions in, the drougat `areas of
Saskatchewan are as serious this year
las ,in past years, according to a, let-
ter received this week by Mr. R. R.
Hartry.
A year ago when citizens of this
district shipped a car of foodstuffs to
the drought area, a nuiaber of cans
of honey from the Hartry apiary were
-included. The . relief -committee of
' Laporte, Sask., apparently remembers -
ed the honey, for the following letter
etas beep received by Mr. Hartry':
Laperte,'Sask., Sept. 10, 19.37.
Dear Sir: Practically a year ago
,our then hard -stricken district receiv-
ed " from the Seaforth area, through
t he S'askatohewan Voluntary Relief
Committee, a carload of vegetables,
inlets, etc., which were - distributed
among the needy. With what apprec-
iation this voluntary relief was met
canonly be felt by him who can place
himself in a similar position. ..
This 'spring everyone went about
kis work as in former years, though
not with that same spirit asdryness
bad already showed its signs. Eve:y-
thing went along somewhat normally
but what had we to meet with,: High
winds and severe, dust storms, "driving.
crops and everything it came in con=
' tact with, scorching sun withering
those few blades of wheat and not
only that but also the menace of-
grasshoppers.
fgrasshoppers. And the result: Not a
bushel of grain .to be reaped; not a
vegetable to be Been iui the garden;
not penny for some fruit. Cattle
and horseshad to be disposed of, in
the best -way possible'in order to pre-
. vent sure starvation as our. Govern-
ment could not supply' sufficient relief
feed: Farmers •trav'e11111g back and
forth in search of new homes because
of the several drought years 3n this
area. And the rest of its? The only
hope that comforts us is the good-
will er our fellow citizens -more . for-
tunate than Ave are. •
As before, Will it- again be possible
for your district to brin"g, some of
that so warmly felt sunslhlne into our
bomes again? All gifts, whether
fruits, vegetables; potatoes, etc., cer-
tainly will be appreciated in the same
brotherly spirit as given;.
Sincerely yours,
The Local Relief Commlittee.

fit, occurred on the farm of Mr. Gib.
Murray .last week. The shaft of the

der twine becoming packed on the
shaft. Mr. Byers man -aged to stop
the machine and extinguish the fire
before it spnead, and all was well,
but Mr. Murray kept guard all night
to see tlhat no live sparks had escap-
ed. Had fire broken out, one of- the
finest barns in McKillop would have
been destroyed.

Holds September Rally, Blyth
The September Rally of the W.M.S.
of, Huron Presbyterial was held in
Blyth at the Presbyterian Church on
Tuesday, the opening Scripture mes-
sage and prayer being given by the
Goderich Auxiliary. The delegates
were welcomed by Mrs. J. M. Scott, of
Blyth;
In her presidential address, Mrs.
D. J. Lane, of Godericb, urged the
members to make . the Thankof-.
fering meeting an event this year
in return for bountiful gifts. She
asked, "Are you, as members of
the W.M.S., indifferent to other activi-
ties of the Church? A greater trust
in God: will give you a security and
confidence that will carry you through
the hard place. Our God is marching
on. Are you helping a bit? Pray,
and give, 'and go."
Interesting comments were made
by the treasurer and different secre-
taries regarding the progress of the
work to date. The roll call of dif-
ferent societies was responded to by
each Home Helpers' secretary relat-
injg an interesting feature of her
group.
Greetings were conveyed fro Pres-
bytery by Rev. W. A. Young, Modera-
tor. He said if the societies', motto
was realized we would not know
this world. "In ourselves we can do
nothing—with ri ' we can do all
things."

Scripture lesson and prayer ,by the
Hensall Auxiliary, after" which Mrs.
Straohan, of Toronto, Treasurer of
