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. • Teacher: "Willie, which wouldyou rather have been, Shakespeare or Charlie Chaplin?"
