toronto -telegram- took in several thousand dollars in free will offerings for the people of britain while at the same time red cross soldiers comforts and dozens o private funds operated for the men and women in uniform now another call has come and the locat council has organized a manitoba floatd relief fund to help in the terrible tragedy which has come to that western province the daily papers and radio have been telling for weeks of the countless millions of dollars damage- which is being caused by the rampages of the red river this week it would seem that the turning point has been reached and the river is beginning to recede thousands of people are homeless and industry has lost millions of dollars in actual loss and urtailed production the weeky newspapers association of which this paper is a member has itself issued a call for financial aid for more than a dozen fellow members in the winnipeg district who have lost everything in the flood on the news pages of this paper appears a list of citi zens who have already made donations to the fund we know they will be joined by many more money can be left with the treasurer town clerk charles wruson at either of the banks or if it is more convenient the herald office will be pleased to take in any money and turn it over to the committee it is hoped that everyone will make some contribution according to their means by

destroyed the hotel which was a historical landmark we passed the place where the new highway north will cross no 7 and where a cloverleaf is in process of construction con- tinuing on through brooklin the scenery is impressive it was our first trip that way by daylight and the roll ing land and beautiful farms are a sight to behold there was something sad about seeing a printing shop in process of dismantlement the sale was almost over when we arrived and most of the heavy machin ery had been removed leaving a litter of odds and ends strewn ahout the floor sid stone of stone printing equipment was handling the deal and we asked about his cousin danny who is also a member of the firm the stone name is a familiar one in georgetown and although bennystone no longer has any connection with the smith ot stone firm the name has been perv petuaied by the new company owners our purchases completed the trip home was made via no 2 highway new country to us also we passed by ajax where several local boys have taken their en gineering training through pickering where we noticed the store operated by harold richardson son of jim richardson of town and into torontos eastern suburbs where teirific activity in new building matches the growth westward potpourri the usual lound of summer activity seems to be shaping up the lions club has a twoday show book ed for the park in midjune
