Greer Shoe Store A business transfer took place here ■on (Monday when G. L. Dunlop took over the W. J. Greer Shoe Store. Mr. Dunlop is no stranger to the people of this community as he has been with Mr, Greer in t^is business for the past one and a half years, During this ■period Mr. Dunlop has made a host of friends and on their behalf we wish him every success. Mr. Greer will be greatly missed on Main Street as he has been in business here for the past 41 years. It was in 1899 that Mr. Greer came''here from ‘Gorrie, purchasing the J, G* Karges Store which at that .time was located where McAvoy’s drug store now is, He carried on business in that loca tion for three years and for the past ■38 years has conducted the business in its present location. Mr, Greer, who has not had the best of health of ‘late, leaves business after an honor cable career and it is hoped he has a long and happy retirement. Mr. Greer has an enviable record in business here, as with the exception of Mr. J. A. Haugh, he has been in business longer than any other person now ac tively engaged in their own business. 2-YEAR TERM FOR COUNCIL AND BOARD IF NO OBJECTION 1941 Councils and Boards Automat ically Elected for Twp Years Un less Electors Object With Which Is Amalgamated The G orrie Vidette end Wroxeter News.

RED CROSS DRIVE STARTS SEPT. 23rd .Nearly All Funds In Treasury Have Been Used With three emergency demands •developing within the past week, in cluding a request from the Depart anent of Defence to co-operate in the provision of eight convalescent hos pitals in Canada, the Canadian Red •Cross Society will launch a nation wide appeal on September 23rd, with .an objective of not less than $5,000,- 4)00, it was announced to-day by Nor man Sommerville, K.C., national chairman. “Almost all the $5,000,000 contrib uted voluntarily during our campaign last November has been spent in meeting the emergency calls upon Red Cross during the past year,”.Mr. .Sommerville said, “Four million dol lars have been spent in ,actual war work and $725,000 for our peace-time •services.” : . |4.i In addition to continuing the pro vision of hospital and surgical sup plies, woollen comforts for the troops .and clothing for refugees, and the operation of the many war-time serv ices already established at home and overseas, the Canadian Red Cross is faced with new responsibilities in re gard to accomodation for convalscent .soldiers, clothing of refugees and feeding of prisoners of war. “ At our Central Council meeting in Toronto next week, the executive will recommend that pursuant to the request from the Department of De fence, the Canadian Red Cross should provide, equip and co-operate in the maintenance of eight convalscent hos pitals in various parts of the country for soldiers invalided from overseas •or at home.” At the same meeting, the executive will place before the Council the re quest from the British Red Cross that 5,000 parcels of food be purchased and packed in Canada every week and* sent to British prisoners in Germany. The financing of this arrangement will be discussed. Another emergency call to the Canadian Red Cross was the cable received yesterday from its overseas commissioner in London stating that 100,000 refugees who have fled to England from invaded countries, aS well as thousands of evacuated child ren in Britain, are in desperate need of clothing, •' “With emergencies of this type tailing for oUr help day after day* it will be seen readily that we must have at least $5,000,000 if we are to do the work that the people of Can ada would have us do in delieving suffering caused by enemy onslaught. Our canvassers will start out on September 23rd, and we are urging people throughout the country to give to the utmost, with the assurance that every dollar contributed to Fed Cross Will be Well Spent, According to the Local Government Extension Act, 1940, all Local Boards and Municipal Councils in office on 1st day of February, 1941, and elect ed and appointed to office for the term of one year or part thereof shall continue in office for the further term of one year and until a successor is elected or appointed and the new council organized.
