14 MET on Main Street. Jim had his
usual ready smile, even when he got telling
me how hard up he was,
"Seems funny," he said, "I'm earning more
these days, but I just can't seem to keep it.
"Taxes, Victory bonds and all those other
things coming off my pay."
He paused, then went on slowly.
"At least it seems as though I can't save
anything, Actually, of course, those war
bonds are my savings. I'm glad I've salted
away a few of them. And you can count,,me

SHAME ON YOU BOYS
There is an old saying that in the.
main we agree with. It is "Boys will
be boys". However there is such a
thing as going too far with boyish
ideas. Next to our office there is a
building which has a hole near the
roof of considerable size. For some-
time this has been the home of famil-
ies of pigeons. During the past
couple of years some boys have been
trapping these pigeons by the use of
a box that allowed the birds to go in
Out they could not gLt out. This was
a very good way- of snaring pigeons.
Of late however, the lads have bcon
trying out a new method. It may be
the means of catching a lot of these
fine feathered friends, but if one of
them is lucky enough to escape it is
usually with a broken or twisted leg.
This new method is the use of muskrat
traps. Several pigeons have been
hobbling around after breaking away
or being released. Come on boys 'be
good sports. Trap the pigeons in a
fair humane way.

BLOOD DONOR CLINICS
A man walked into a Blood Donor
-Clinic in Hamilton last week and gave
his pint of blood. This man knew the
value of these clinics as his life had
been saved because someone bad
donated blood through the Red Cross
Society. He was one of those who
was wounded at Dieppe. It was found
necessary that his leg be amputated
and it was just as necessary that he
receive a blood transfusion in order
that he could successfully withstand
the operation. He received the trans-
fusion and recovered and now is back
home in Hamilton and be is giving
his blood in the hope that it will save
mine other soldiers life. Here is a
man who has risked 14.4 all, lost a log,
yet feels he owes the boys over there'
every possible support now that he is
back home. Every few weeks the
mobile Mood Donor Clinic will visit
Wingham. Is your name on the Blood
Donor List? U the Canadians get into
the thick of things during the summer
the aced will be greater than ever,

MUNICIPAL GARBAGE
COLLECTION
Several times during the past few
years Winghant Council have talked
over the possibility 9f instituting A
system of municipal collection of gar-
bage. The opinion, if we judge cor-
recPY, is all in favour of such a move
when the war is over or before this
if ii can be done satisfactorily. Such .
collections have been started in sev-
eral municipalities in recent years and
has proved a, fine type of service. It
will be a fine thing when we have
such a scheme here. In the meantime
there an opportunity for anyone to
have their garbage collected each
week, The cost is not great, Already
about 150 homes here are using this
service and all you have to do to get
on the list is to give your name to the
clerk of the town.

Money Can Be Saved By Buying At Home
The business people in every community pay a large percentage of the local taxes;
their stocks and stores tell the citizens and visitors whether the town is a progressive
municipality or is in The doldrums.
The Wingham merchants advertising on this and other pages of this paper, are
doing their utmost during these critical days, to promote the interests of the town by
stocking such goods as are available. They are therefore entitled to your support and by
supporting them you are helping yourself and also the town.
Gasoline and tires are precious at this juncture, so you can save both by doing
your shopping right in Wiugham. In many instances prices are controlled, so there is
actually no object in spending money for transportation,
