FORMER RESIDENTS GIVE TO RED CROSS Miss Eleanor Cornyn Says Mexicans Favour British 1 The campaign committee has re­ ceived two donations, through Mayor Crawford, from former Wingham resi­ dents, Miss Eleanor Cornyn and her brother, John Cornyn, of Mexico, who each donated $10.00. On behalf of the committee we thank them very much indeed. Miss Cornyn says in her letter to Mr. Crawford that she cannot under­ stand how Wingham collected so much for the Red Cross. "I am cer­ tainly proud of my old friends and on­ ly wish I were there to help things along as I was in the last war,” she said. The Mexicans, she said, are much in favour of the British and make quite a fuss when the King and Queen are shown.
