AID TO RUSSIANS
SOON ON THE WAY . . . .
Donations For The Canadian Aid To
Russia Fund Received At The
Advance-Times Office
The Canadian Aid to Russia Fund
campaign is far from over, but al-
ready arrangements are underway to
ship a full ocean boatload of needed
supplies to Russia within the next
fortnight.
Censorship restrictions are strict,
'but this much can be said, that within
the next two weeks the boat will leave
a Pacific port packed to the gunwhales
with clothing and other things includ-
ing medicines bound for a Soviet port.
Feodor •Gousev, U.S.S.R. minister to
Canada, is authority for the statement
that within 20 days of the boat's leav-
ing Canada the supplies sent Russia
by the Canadian people who have giv-
en to the fund will be unloaded at
the Russian port and will be under
distribution to the Russian evacuees
and sufferers.
• So the good being clone by the
thousands of Canadian givers to Rus-
sia is ,already starting to bear fruit
in a large way. But that's not the
end of it. Boat after boat will carry
more and more warm clothing, food,
medicines to Russia: The ships are
available, for they are Russian 'ships,
returning home with military and
other goods. Russia's 'Government is
bearing the cost of transporation,
grateful in a great big way for the
generosity of Canadians to their Rus-
sian people in this time of great
stress.
If you have not already made a
contribution do sb without delay. Sub-
scriptions may be left at the Advance-
Times Office. Donations to the fund
may be deducted from income for
taxation purposes.

TRAFFIC STOPPED BY
OLD TIME 'STORM
---
Highways and Byways Plugged, Train
Schedule Disrupted
Just after midnight on Monday, a
gentle snow started falling but this
lamb-like action of nature was just the
prelude to one of the worst storms that
this district has experienced in some
years. During the early hours of
Tuesday morning about a foot of snow
fell and the wind started to increase
and by the time people started to move
about a real old-fashioned storm was
in progress. The wind increased in
velocity until it reached gale propor-
tions and it continued to' snow until
about 10.30 Monday evening. The
wind kept up and as we go to press
this morning (Wednesday) it is close
to zero and the wind is still strong.
This old-fashioned storm has the
highways and sideroads blocked and
the trains are having a tough time also.
The mail truck, from Clinton did, not
get through Tuesday and the train
from Kincardine which should arrive
here about noon Tuesday did not get
in until 4 p.m. The night train did
not arrive at all and the,‘C.P.R. due
about three arrived about 5 p.m. The
snow plow on the C.N.R. is stuck near
Kincardine and it is doubtful if there
will be any rail traffic to-day (Wed-
nesday).
The storm cost one life in this dis-
trict. A worker on a snow plow near
Hensall was killed when the plow
backed up knocking hint down and
crushing him,
