One of the few sources of men available for other high priority jobs is those men on the farm who will not be needed at home during the Fall and Winter. Heavy needs must be met in many lines producing fuel wood and other neces- sary forest products; in base metal mines, in food processing, in railway track maintenance. If you live on a farm and are not needed at home during the Fall and Winter, you are urged to answer this national appeal. Farmers engaged in essential work during the off season will be allowed to return home when needed. Also, those on postponement under Mobili- zation Regulations will continue OH postponement while in approved essen- tial work during the slack on the farm. Please answer this vital call NOW. for full information please apply to one of the following: The nearest EMPLOYMENT AND SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICE or The nearest PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE or YOUR LOCAL FARM PRODUCTION COMMITTEE NATIONAL SELECTIVE SERVICE Clinic On November 3 Flesherton's second blood donor clinic will be held in Fraternity Hall, on Wednesday, Nov. 3rd, and will follow along the lines laid down in the first cliaic some weeks ago. The need for a larger blood bank is now greater than ever, due to the fact that Canadian soldiers are in the thick of the fighting in Italy. The blood you donate will save the life of some soldier, so plan to again attend the clinic on November 3rd. The first clinic was confined almost entirely to men, but some ladies were among the donors. This time all wo- men are being given a chance to do- nate, but first they must go to their family doctor and have a blood test made, otherwise they cannot be ac- cepted, so be sure and have the test made. It is hoped that all the men who donated at the first clinic will be back again. If so, you will make the work of the committees easier if you will notify Mr. W. E. Betts, pre- sident of the Flesherton-Artemesia Branch of the Red Cross, or Mrs. F Keys, secretary. The first blood donors' clinic was well represented by residents of Os- prey township, besides a large num- ber from Eugenia, Rock Mills and Ceylon areas. The Red Cross expect that you will be back again to back up the boys at the front.

A solo was rendered by Mrs. Cox with Mrs. Harrison of Prireville accompanying. and a duet by Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Harrison was also well rendered.

E. Fowler. Art Rich- ardson and Ed. Heard, accompanied by Mrs. Weir as organist for the quartette, was enjoyed. The church was decorated with fall flowers and house plants, and the efforts of those who so willingly gave their assistance to make this anniversary one of the best. We were glad to have so many Priceville folk present at both the services. 5th Victory Loan Off to Good Start The people of Flesherton, 0prey and Artemesia are bound that their high record of other Victory Loans will again be upheld and Tuesday evening were well along in reaching their objectives. Tuesday evening Flesherton was in second place in the campaign, with Euphrasia South leading by a small margin. It is expected that Flesherton will be in first place this Wednesday night. The returns sent in Wednesday morning included the following am- ounts: Flesherton village $19,150.00. Osprey Township $19,100.00 and Art- emesia Township $5,250.00. There is, however, a long way yet to go before the quota is exceeded, so it will be up to everyone of us to loan to our fullest extent. Consult the canvasser who calls upon you and talk the matter over with him. C. E. McTavish Takes New Postion In Toronto After 27 y an of service with General Motors of Canada at Oshawa, Mr. Charles E. McTavish has resigned and has accepted a position with the Perfect Circle Company at Toronto as General Manager. Last week he was given complimentary dinners ind gifts were presented to him in com- memoration of his years of service and tokens of regard. Col. R. S. Mc- Laughlin, president of General Mot- ors of Canada, Ltd., expressed his regret at his resignation, and that his removal from Oshawa was a dis- tinct loss to the city, but he would carry with him the best wishes of his colleagues in Oshawa. To judge the extent of his service we might quote from the Oshawa Times-Gazette: "In Oshawa Mr. Mc- Tavish attended St. Andrew's United Church and served on the finance committee. He is a member of Cedar Lodge, A.F.&A.M., Scottish Rite Ma- sons, and has been President, 'sha- wm Lacrosse Club; Vice-President of Oshawa Hockey Club; Director of the Chamber of Commerce; Past Presi- dent Oshawa Rotary Club; served on the Board of Education; member of Oshawa Public Utilities Commission; Director of Ontario Commercial Tra- vellers' Association; Past President of Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association; Director of Oshawa Cur- ling Club, and Past President of the Oshaiwa Baseball Club.-" His many friends in Flesherton, his home town, wish Charlie the best o\ success in his new work.
