SALVAGE COMMITTEE
ORGANIZED FOR DISTRICT
On Tuesday evening a number of
citizens of Seaforth and district met
in the council chamber to discuss the
formation of a local salvage com-
mittee. It was decided that the com-
mittee should. be named The Seaforth
and District Salvage Corps and
should :operate in conjunction with
the Federal Salvage Board for the
purpose of collecting all types of
salvage required by the Government
for war purposes. The proceeds
from the salvage collected will
be given to the Red Cross and other
war charities.
The following• officers were elect-
ed: President, Crawford Smith; vice
president, Robt. R. Archibald; secre-
tary, Ross Savauge; treas., A. Y.
McLean. Executive committee, Wil-
son McCa*ney, W. L. Whyte, Gord-
on McGavin and Fred Johnston.
Plans were laid for securing a local

vage.
As soon as- possible a monthly -col-.
;lection is planned for the country; a
inonthly collection from householders
in town, and a collection from the
stores and business places twice a

evening, Jan. 23rd to spend a happy

reply. The address:
"To Allan Nicholson on the occa-
sion of his enlistment in Canadian
Navy. Dear Allan -It is with mingl-
ed feelings that we are assembled
here this evening. In the first place
with a feeling of regret that we are
to lose a citizen who is a credit to his
family and his country, and again
with a feeling of pride that you
should choose to accept the harder
course and shoulder the responsibil-
ity of helping to stem the greatest
threat to civilization and democracy
which this world has ever known.
The words of the poet: "Breathes
there a man with soul so dead, who
never to himself hath said, This is
my own, my native land,' must have
made a lasting impression upon you
when by your action in giving up a
remunerative position to assist in the
glory and honor of defending our
heritage and our native land against,
the aggressor and the oppressor, you
are scaling the sublimest heights to
which man may ascend in giving his
best and his all in defence of the bet-
terment of his fellow men. We, as
your associates are proud of the
fact that we have. been. fortunate.
enough in being numbered amongst
your friends, and take it not only as
an honor to you but also to us that,
you, in taking this step are assuming
some of our obligations in the de-
fense of Christianity and democracy.
When your ship returns to its home
port after the fight for freedom has
been won we hope you will still num-
ber us among your cherished friends.
'Safe journey,' 'Good luck' and'Bon
Voyage' accompany this gift.
These are a few of your friends
who are cheering for you and hoping
for a safe return: Wallace Haugh, G.
Richardson, John Broadfoot, 'Wilson
McCartney, T. Lane and family, W.

J. C. SHEARER ADDRESSES
FARM FORUMS
Farm Cost Surveys Will Be. Made in
Tuckersmith and McKillop
A joint meeting of the two Farm
Forums east and west of Seaforth on
Highway No. 8 was held at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Goudie on
Tuesday evening, Jan, 27 with an
attendance of about 65 adults. Mr.
I. O'Leary gave a full and detailed
account of the CBL broadcast on
"Cost of Production." An Jnteresting
discussion followed when many be-
lieved it difficult to keep accurst%
cost of production records owing to
the complicated nature of mixed
farming operations. But by educa-
tion and surveys of farm conditions
it will soon be possible to know more
definitely the cost of producing the
various commodities. Mr. J. Shearer,'
Agricultural Representative for Hu-
ron county was present and gave an
interesting and instructive address.
He outlined the formation and duties
of the county agricultural board•:re-
cently set up in Huron county com-
posed of the agricultural committee
of the county council, the officers "of
the county Federation of Agriculture
and the agricultural representative.
This Board is similar to that in oper-
ation in England, While at present
there is no food ;shortage in Canada
he predicted that in the' near future
there might be a scarcity owing to
shipping facilities and urged the far-
mers to produce to 'the best advan-
tage such eomunodities as are requir-
ed, . He gave an outline of the re-
cently eonducted Hallett survey to
determine the cost of productile;
farm commodities, • It was found that
many farmers past 70ycars of age
