On Thursday last motor cars were stalled in the snowdrifts in a one- mile stretch on the highway south of town. In the village there was little or no sign of a storm but a ground drift with .snow like sugar packed the highway and made mo toring difficult. A snow plow was temporarily stalled near Moores ville. On Sunday Exeter was the centre of a severe storm while to the north and west of the town the sun was shining brightly most of the day. The storm began early in the morning and raged most of the day, considerable snow having fall en. A few people faced the blizzard to attend church but the congrega tions were small both morning and evening.

Slight Increase in Christmas Seal Donations In a recent interview with the Chairman of the Christmas Seal Committee, Mr. Arthur R. Ford, of London, said that so far the Cam paign has been progressing splen didly and already many cities have j passed or ’are approaching the amount of "their 1939 contributions. Mr. Ford explained that the pre ventive work Which Queen Alexan dra Sanatorium/-is carrying on throughout the seven counties of Western Ontario is not merely a Christmas activity but an all-year- round effort to check the spread of disease which yearly takes such an unnecessary toll of young and pro mising Canadian lives. So far over 10,000 residents of Western Ontario have answered the appeal by sending in their contribu tions, and for. these the Committee is deeply grateful, but no reply has yet been ■ received from 15,0*00 others. Several thousand little cards reading “Please dont forget to send in 'your contribution to the Christ mas Seal Fund”, are being mailed to the former contributors and new friends. , Mr. Ford said that last year, be tween the 1st of January and the close of the 1939 campaign on the 15th of -February, 1940, the sum of $2,734.43 was received. This year the demands on our Travelling Clinics are greater than ever be fore, due to contacts discovered through the medical examination of recruits in the Canadian Army. $3,000.'00 for the same period this year is needed, and Mr. Ford asks that all who can enlist in this worthy cause, and with their dol lar help to prevent any rise in Tu- bel’Culosis which may come With the stress of war. Exeter has this yqar Contributed $84.50, a slight iri'erease Over last year’s total. If the many who have hot yet contributed will do their share the committee is assured of their objective.
