It was decided to hold an auction sale in Feversham on Thurs- da. , June 5, 1941 a t 1 p.m. The committee set the substantial sum of $500. as their objective, but the feel- ing of the meeting was that this amount could be reached, for the' hearts of the people of the commun- go out in deep sympathy to that hero" ic "Front Line" of defenders who are saving us from those same dangers and sufferings, > -hich they are so nobly enduring. We want to help them. Mr. Dinnick is in charge of the pro- gram and we hope to have Jim Hun- ter here for the occasion as well as other prominent men. We are en- deavoring to secure a band from Cairn Borden and a small military parade. Refreshments will be serv- ed by the Ladies' Community Club, under the direction of Mrs. Alex. Mullen. Mr. Geo. Duncan offered to give freely of his time as auctioneer. It is to be hoped that the people who live in this section of Osprey will "ive sacrifically to this fund and all of us unite to make it a success. In the way of donations almost any- thing of value, large or small will be acceptable a load of hay or wood, a calf, pig. horse, fruit, potatoes, speckled trout, stoves, furniture, a farm or a hound.
