WEEKLY SALVAGE
COLLECTION NEWS
Walton Junior Red Cross is
Settingothe Pace For
This District.
Perhaps the most consistent salvage
effort in this district has been made
in the Village of Walton. Through-
out last year and this year the Junior
Red Cross Society, under the capable
-leadership of Walton's school teacher,
Mr. Clarence Grainger, has made reg-
ular collections of salvages which
they have brought to the school •and
sorted in the 'basement. Then they
have secured a truck and brought the
salvage to Seaforth. Before leaving
for his• siihuner vacation, Mr. Grain-
ger and two farmette members of the
Walton Junior Red Cross, brought a
heavily loaded truck of salvage to
salvage headquarters. This very
worthy effort has helped, stimulate
others in this district, and needy -'war
charities and soldiers overseas from
this district have been helped and
cheered Iby donations and boxes that
these activities have made possible.
The first fall salvage collection on
Tuesday afternoon brought in a good
assortment of salvage from the east
side of Seaforth and from Egm'ond-
villo. In the evening a group of sort-
ers from First Presbytel?lan Church
took charge •of Wee .sorting, find the
salvage was quickly prepared for Mar-
ket.
