KILLED IN Bad Been With Royal Can- adian Air Force in Egypt. Desmond Purcell, son of Mrs. Eliz- abeth Purcell, 523 Glebeli°'„ e Road, Toronto, and the late James Purcell, has been killed• on active service with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Egypt. Word of hie 'death was received. late Friday by his mother,, but the dis= patch from the Officer -in -Charge of .Records' at Ottawa could give no fur- ther information immediately. It was expected further details would follow when available. The departed airman was a gunner who had enlisted shortly after, the outbreak of the war. He had been in Egypt for about 20 months. 'Desmond Purcell was .born in Sea - forth, about 30 years ago. He re ceived some of his_ education here and upon going to Stratford with his family had attended Stratford 'Colleg- late-Vocational institute. In his early civilian life he had •entered the drug business as an apprentice and had worked for the Standard Drug Com- pany in .Stratford• until going to Tor- onto some ten years ago. Later he continued his apprenticesihip with the Tam•blyn Company in . that city and upon completing his required period had entered the Ontario College of Pharmacy with the view of becoming a graduate druggist: Mr. Purcell had studied at Pharmacy for about a year when he enlisted'. 'His brother, Joseph, )s living in Toronto and is als,o:in. the drug busi- ness and his only' sister, Miss Mary., is a teacher at St..Brigid's school in Toronto. The young airman's mother is the former Elizabeth Carpenter, of Dublin, Ont. • Arrived ..In , England (Weekly Bulletin' of the. Seaforth and District Salvage Corps) Rubber Drive Closes Sept: 8th "How can I gather up the rubber. around' my- farm when I haven't time to get my crop in?" asked a farmer whenthe rubber salvage drive was mentioned. This Is undoubtedly a {problem, bpt' here is the way one farmer solved it. Two of his chil- dren were too young to work in the harvest- field, but, 'when their dad ex- plained to them the urgent need for scrap rubber, nothing could atop them, and they were glad to do their I►it by gathering up all the -tires, rub- ber boots and every bit• of rubber they could find. In another commun- ity; a girl organized by phone a squad of her boy and girl friends who could not be used in the fields, 'but who were able to gather up nice piles of scrap rubber. These are two ways in which the problem -has been solv- •d. Inasmuch as the ruibber salvage campaign ends on September 8th, you are asked to use some way of gath- ering up every bit of scrap rubber from your farm and leaving it under your mail boif, your mail courier will ' bring it in to the post office, from which it is turned over ;tip your Sal- vage Committee... ,YOUR scrap+'rub- ber may be used in tires of the great war machines th t,will defeat Hitler! 4 Tuesday afternoon saw the twelfth Salvage, collection in Seaforth, and the sixth west side collection. Where still seetnls to be lots of salvage in Seaforth homes, as, evidenced 'by the amount ,that ---was brought in.

PAVILION WILL CLOSE ON LABOR DAY The Lions pool and pavilion, which have been . in operation steadily since the late spring, will be closed -for the season following Labor Day. Although there have been no ex- tended heat spells this summer, tiio: daily attendance . at the pool has far exceeded any previous year, while the business done at the pavilion dur- ing the month of July this year con- siderably exceeded the entire busi- ness usiness of last year. More and more the advantages of the Lions Park- are being recognized by societies, church organizations and people from every part of the county. During' this summer there was scarcely a day that there 'was not a picnic or gathering of sone kind on the grounds, while family picnics of townspeople are a daily oc- casion. This week the swimming ;pool was drained and cleaned, but is now in use again, and if this weather con- tinues 'there will be a records crowd for Labor Day: On Thursday next the pavilion will be open for the day when the Hunt- ers' Club of Hibbert and, 'Fullerton Townships, Perth County, will hold their annual reunion.

In Canada the temperature went up to 85, and that may\ be why there was a noticeable decline in the purchase of war savings certificates and stamps. But whatever the cause of the decline, the need is great and any sacrifices this country has made thus far are insignificant when compared with what our men and women at the front are enduring, The deduction from cream cheques have not reached the proportion they doubtless will. In the meantime, it should be understood there is no com- pulsion about the deductions. Farm- ers are at liberty to refuse to 'accept war savings stamps as part payment, but if they can arrange to' accept on- ly, one or two a week the total across Canada would be tremendous. Shoppers are asked to. take War Stamps from their mechants when- ever possible. Every stamp bought will help, and they bear interest. News of Cromarty Mr.`and Mrs, R O.
