Over f ifty RED Navy League Appeals For Sailors' Comforts LAt the second meeting of th Navy League Committee for th Town of Bowmanville and disl rict, on Tuesday, March 2, hel at the offices of the AgriculturE Representative, E. A. Summer! and urgent appeal was made fo magazines, games, books, playin 1cards, cribbage boards, checke n boards, and other games, to b tsent to men serving in the Mer chant Marine, and Navy. B.E Cannem, the representativeo the Ontario Branch of the Nav: League, stressed the need fo these items. The local committee are askirj rthat ail citizens bring in the abovi t items to the following collectior depots on King Street: North cutt & Smith, Bert Parker, Aie> McGregor.

The need is great. The growth of the Can- adian Merchant Marine Navy, and the Royal Canadian Navy, has beeni phenomenal, and is increas- ing rapidiy which means that there are more Canadians in these two services to be cared for. In addition, the Navy League of Can- ada is attempting to care for for- eign sailors in Canadian ports. Drug Stores Adopt Shortened Schedule Bowmanvîile's three drug stores have reached an agreement cur- taiiing the hours during whiclr they will be open for business. This has been brought about part. iy by a shortage of many lines of goods, and a desire to co-operate further with the Hydro in con- serving electrical power. The shortened scheduie adoptecl by Jury & Loveil, P. R. Cowling and Alex. McGregor went into af- fect Monday. From now on the stores open at 8 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. week days. On Saturday they open at 8 a.m. and remamn open until il p.m. years ago he purchased the Worth business.
