7th BLOOD DONOR
CLINIC AT SEAFORTH
IS DISAPPOINTING
Only 91 Donors on Thurs-
day, But Hone For Many
More in October.
SEND . • IN ' NAMES
The seventh Red Cross Blood Don-
or Clinic held in. Northside United
Church on Thursday morning, was
small and disappointing. Only 91
donors -appeared, the balance of those
who had previously volunteered and
sent in their names, failed to attend,
and many- of these did not even note
farthe secretary that they would be
unable to attend.
It is hoped that the next clinic to
be held '4n October will be very much
larger, as the need is urgent, and
other towns in the county! and dis-
trict have been much more largely
' attended. Volunteers are asked to
call the secretary.
In charge of the clinic were Dr. F.

Truck Rolls Over Three
limes, But Three Occu-
pants Are Uninjured,
ON TUESDAY
EVENING
A west -bound Stratford Nevve Com-
pany's truck, due in Seaforth with
the Toronto afternoon papers about
six o'clock daily, was almost, com-
pletely wrecked on Tuesday evening.
About 6.15 Tuesday evening, while
on the outskirts of town on No. 8
Highway, the truck, apparently trav-
el -ling fast, suddenly went out of con-
trol and leaving the south side of
the highway at an angle of about 45
degrees, struck the ditch, where it
rolled over three,times and came to
rest on its tap, with the fonr wheels
in the air. •
• The driyer, Donald Kane, and two
other occupants .of the truck, Howard
Aitchesen. and Donald Hesse, all of
Stratford, in some miraculous man-
ner, escaped without a scratch, al-
though the engine of the truck was
driven back to the seat, and the body
of the vehicle was almost a complete
wreck.
The truck carried a full load of
newspapers and magazines, and these
wereesdatterecl far and wide, most of'
them landing over the fence on the
gold club grounds, just west of the
tennis' court, aud as the truck carried
papers for Seaforth, Clinton, Gode-
rich, Port Albert and.other places, a
good many people went without their
accustomed evening paper Tuesday
night.
The wrecker from- Daly's G-arage
later righted the truck and towed it
into the garage.
County •Constable Helmer Snell,
Seaforth, and Provincial Constable
F.rank Taylor, Brucefield, investigated
the accident.

OVERSEAS MAIL
MUSTBEINBYNOV.1
Ten Days Earlier Than Last
Year's Closing Date For
Christmas Parcels.
The date this year is ten days earl-
ier than last year's closing time for
Christmas mail overseas, but with
many of the men serving in more die
taut fields, the deadlinehas been ad-
vanced to meet these rapidly chang-
ing conditions.
To .prevent congestion, citizens are
requested not to delay until the last
minute, but are asked to help the
Post Office Department forarrange-
ment of cargo space by mailing early.
Shipment of war supplies limits space
available. It is 'also suggested that
to, help the provision of shipping
space for overseas Christmas mail to
the Canadian Forces that each sender
should voluntarily cut down as far as
possible on the weight and size of
each Christmas parcel, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the maximum weight
of a parcel at reduced rate. is set at
11 pounds. They will thus enable the
post office to .forward the maximum
number, of parcels in the shipping
space available aboard each ship and
so make delivery in time for all.
• This year the pose office" expects
an all-time record in the overseas vol-
ume of military mail. There is, there-
fore, a vital need for full co-operation
of the mailing public..
Address all mails in ink, fully, clear-
ly and without misleading abbrevia-
tions; also include in the parcel a slip
bearing the sender's name, as well as
the addrese of the parcel. Uare-stroeg
corrugated containers, not light card-
board boxes, and do not use Christ-
mas tissue for wrapping or colored
ribbon to tie. Parcels may be sewn
in etrong cotton or similar material.
Jams and syrups must be enclosed in
sealed containers (not glass jars). A
completed custom declaration should
be affixed to each parcel.
Apples, grapes or otherl, articles
likely to spoil, are not acceptable.
Mailing of matches, lighter fluid or
any inflammable product is strictly
prohibited by law..

Blight
A large potato grower brought
into The Expositon office on
Thursday several samples of pota-
toes, When they were lifted a
week. or two ago they were as
sound and clean as could be
grown. Today each one has been
affected by blight to a greater or
less extent. The blight starts
with a small brown spot on the
skirt, and eats its ways right to,
the core of the potato. All pota-
toes seem to be attacked in the
same way, and if the blight is at,
all general, the prospects of get-
ting winter potatoes, as far as
this -district is concerned', would
appear to be very slim.

Boxes Overseas. •
On Saturday night, Oct.' 2nd, Sea -
forth Overseas Committeeewill stage
a mile -of -silver on Mai e Street, simi-
lar to the mile -of -coppers that prayed
a success a few weeks ago.
The committee this year expects
to send at least 100 Christmas boxes
°to the boys in the service overseas,
and as this is double the number sent
last year, the need of funds •is Urg-
ent. Each box means an expenditure
of $5.00, which means that $500 must
be raised if the boys are to receive'
their Christmas treat from home.
- Now that the public has caught on
to the purpose of the mile -of -silver
and the way it is operated, the com-
mittee is confident- that the response
will be 'a ready and generous one,
and that sufficient vv -ill be raised to
purchase as emany boxes as may. ,be
