RuralCouriers to
Salvage Rubber
Canada's postmasters and rural mail'
carriers are planning one of the most
extensive scrap rubber collections
since Japan's Pacific conquests cre-
ated the desperate shortage •of this
war essential.
The general clean-up of scrap rub-
ber in rural communities will take
place between August 24th and Sep-
tember Sbh. Not only farms and small
villages will be 'cleaned out of scrap
rubber, but all summer resorts will
be systematically canvassed.
Rural couriers will collect rubber
left at roadside boxes by farmers,
and transport it to diseributleg post
offices. From there th'e acct iulated
rubber will be taken to rail lines for
shipment to .rubber salvage depots.
Patrons of rural post offices who
call for their mail- will brieg their
scrap rubber to the post offices.
In the London district (Western On-
tario). there are more than 800 rural
routes, on which farmers hole.. 66,000
roadside boxes. Another 60,000
householders get their mall at rural
,post offices. There are something
like 6,000 householders at summer re-
sorts.
The summer resorts, are expected
to yield an especially large uumber of
old rubber tires, because many cot-
tagers have up to a dozen tires on
their docks as boat bumpers. Other
tires are .used as swings.

bath school, and the general welfare
work of the village. In all of this
work he had the active and effective
cu -operation of Mrs. Dallas.

of the present. cemetery at Ware
Shoats. 'While living there he began
the movement for a community ceme-
tery, •selected °the site and conducted

Two Mitchell girls were seriously
injured in an auto crash on t1,J,e Bruce -
field -Bayfield highway, a short dis-
tance west of Brucefleld, early Sun-
day morning. •
Betty Skinner, of Mitchell, is in
Clinton Respite] with- a fractured pel-
vis, body bruises, head and face iQ.c-
erations and her' companion, Una
Schellenberg, also of Mitchell, is suf-
fering from shock.
The girls were passengers in a car
driven by David Campbell., of .Detroit,
with a companion, Bruce Hyde, also
of Detroit. The' young men were tak-
ing the girls home after a dance at
Grand Bend.: When descending, the
Bannockburn Hill, Campbell -is believ-
ed -to have mistaken a, light and sha-
dow effect for a curve in the road
and swerved to make the curve. The
big . sport model ear' crashed a fence
and toppled over into a ravine. The
car damage is estimated at eight hun-
dred,
undred, to one thousand dollars. 'Both
young men escaped serious injury.
On Sunday evening Mrs. Helen
Webber, of Hensel], had motored her
soldier husband to Stratford to catch
an eastbound train' 'and when return-
ing via No. 8 highway to 'Mitchell
and township roads to Exeter, ran in-
to an unherded bunch of cattle, dam-
aging her car extensively and injur-
ing two of the animals badly.

lection will include all homes in Sea
forth east of 'Main Streets the busi-
ness places on both sides of the.

"Little Scotland." In case of bad
weather, keep your salvage till Thurso
day, August 20th—two days, later.
Yes, your committee .is still anxious
for all the paper you can give. While
it is a fact that the supply of news-
papers ,has temporarily been 'greater
than present needs, this .condition
Will certainly pass very quickly, and
the demand will be greater than ever.
Your committee sells all paper to a
paper mill which puts, the material
into production without its passing;
through other° hands. If present
needs are more than met, the paper
is stored by the mill for use as suer
as required. In addition to maga-
zines, wrapping paper, scrap paper•
and cardboard, do not forget other
very necessary salvage materials—
r•ubber, scrap metal, iron and steel,
rage of all kinds, bottles and grease-
rendered into wide-mouthed bottles or
tins.
You can stili donate your old phono-
graph'records in as salvage and have
them turned into useful war mater-
ial. And don't forget any articles
you have that can be sold as rum-
mage. Baby carriages, children's
cribs, chairs, bedroom furniture, kit-
chen articles, and . any item that
might have some value to someone
else will be bandied by the commit-
tee, ,and tjse proceeds' from .your dona-
tion will go to War Charities.

,Appeal Made To. Pledge
Percentage For War
Saving.
ASK TEN PER CENT.
The War Finance Corsrmittee of
Huron will shortly ciretlarize the
farmers of this county, through the
medium of a strongly warded appeal
in a letter signed• by the Chairman,
Mayor A. 3., McMurray, of Clinton,
asking them to pledge .ten per cent.
of the money received from their
monthly returns from milk, cream
and eggs to be used for the purchase
of war savings, stamps end certifi-
cates. '
• The cheese factories; 'c reameries
and produce. dealers will;be asked to
make the pledged deductions from 'the
farmers' pay cheques; paying that
amount in war savings stamps.
I.t is stated that the Huron Federa-
tion of Agriculture, has a'proved . this;,
plan as the most efficient and equit-
able means, of promoting war savings
stamp sales in the rural districts, as
over three-quarters of the farmers are
supplying the factories, • creameries
and produce• dealers with milk, cream'
and eggs.
These appeals will be sent to every
farmer in the county and will be ac-
companied by a pledge card. •

Scott, unveiled the' rol' which ap-
peared draped with the Canadian flag
and flanked by a beautiful basket of
gladioli.
During the course of his sermon
Rev. Peter Jameson, pastor of the
church, said that not only lied these
young men and women a duty to per-
form, so those of us who remained; at
home have one just as imperative,
that of upholding those who have
gone from us, botbein prayer ;and in
the ministry of correspondence.
During the service Mrs. Clifton Mil-

The regular meeting. of the town

ber on Monday evening. Mayor John
J. Cluff presided. the other members,
Reeve J. H. Scott, and Councillors J.
E. Keating, M. A. Reid, H. E. Smith,

ment: of Municipal Affairs Unemplon-

tee to consult the P.U.C.'and the em-
ployees, re the same. A communica-
tion from • the same department. re
the coal situation, was filed
There was considerable discussion
on the cost of living bonus, as the
.act is rather indefinite as to whether
it applies to municipalities as well ns
to other employees: It was decided
on motion, however, that the town
solicitor look up the matter, nut that
in any event the bonus would be paid
to the town employees. .' -
The fax sale held on Saturday last
and the adjourned sale to be held on
Saturday, August 15th, also ,entailed
considerable discussion. '
Because of the fact that the • act
provides that at least the full indem-
nity against any property must• be
bid before a sale can be made, there
was only one sale made on Saturday.
That was the former hospital build-
ing on Victoria Street, now ;an apart-
ment building, which was bid in by
Mr. W. Teall at $1,389.17, plus the
proportion of taxes for this year, al-
though it is reported that several pro-
perties had been redeemed before the
sale.
On Saturday next, however, at the
adjourned sale, all properties not pre-
viously sold or redeemed, will be of-
fered for• sale to the highest bidder,
but the town intends.- to bid and will
be represented by its agent.

that a .large proportion of jam re-

not fit to be shipped overseas. 'The
reasons for the defects are given as:

Turns Farmer
Help is so scarce on the farm
this year that when Rev. W. J.
Patton,. minister of Duff's. and
Cavan United Churches, offered
his tervices to help on the farm
of Mr. D. B. Dorrance, in McKin
lop, it is needless to say that Mre
Doerance was delighted, if a lit-
tle doubtful. But all doubt soon
vaniehed as Mr. Patton sOon prey-
ed he knew all about farming and
was an excellent workman. He
worked all through the haying
and made a good job of it too.

The "Good Old Days' must not be

Mel. Bradburn, of the Sixth Line
in East Wawanosh,•with 'a set of hos-
pital harness on his broken leg, a
pair of crutches to hobble aboet, and
50 acres of sheaves lying exposed- to
the weather, sat down with his hap-
py family the other night saying,
"The good days are here and now."
He had been surprised: A nurse,
who had taken pride in his pluck with
broken bones, drove down to see hew
things were going since he left the
hospital and .unconsciously "let the
cat out of the bag," hinting that there
was going to be a stooking bee.
Thinas moved quickly with a string'
of cats from Blyth, Belgrave, Morris
and Wawanosh rumbling past towarda
the oat fields. Fifty-two men, armed
with pitchforks, spread .hither and
thither, and up went•the oat hervest
in jolly good stooks.
Mel. was all in. What could he do
with such a' gang•who had taken pos-
session? There were his neighbors,
were lively chaps, whom he had seen
on the streets of Belgrave and Blyth
—railway hands, druggisteand under-
takers; ye editor with 'a fonft. instead
of his quill; postmaster and store-
keepers; a few of the clergy and in-
deed the chief -of -police; other men
just as good—all feeling that one

for human kinddess and praetical re -
Like a flock of wild ducks, off they
sailed to Percy McLean's fields on
