Langstaff) i On Monday, June 7th, 1915, about‘ thirtyâ€"five women and girls gathered in the Foresters’ Hall in the organ- ization of a Red Cross Auxiliary. Since the commencement of the war in August, 1914, various societies had been knitting and sewing, but with the ever growing need for hospital supplies and soldiers” comforts the Richmond Hill Red Cross. A-uxiliaiy was formed to unite the women of the community in regular and con- tinuous work. The membership fee was twenty-five cents, and the work was divided into three partsâ€"knitt- ing, sewing and surgical supplies. The personnel of the first executive was as follows: President, Mrs. T. F. McMahon; Vice-President, Mrs. A. J. Campbell; Treasurer, Mrs. L. E. Hand; Secretary, Dr. L. Lang'- staff; Sewing Convvenor, Mrs. F. Lynett; Knitting Convenor, Mrs. A. E. Switzer. On the same day a girls’ branch of the Auxiliary was organized, sup- plementing the senior vbranch. From June 7th, 1915 to Nov. 25th, 1918 this branch carried on active work. By them 37,665 articles were com- pleted and shipped to headquarters, and receipts totalled $1306.44. The balance on the books on Nov. 25th, 1818, was divided between the T04 ronto Orthopedic Hospital and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. raised by a variety of entertain- ments and voluntary donations. In May, 1916, the village was divided into districts and one or two women became responsible for collecting a monthly contribution Irom each fam- ily in a district. From June 1916 to June 1917, 8922.84 was raised in this way. For this same period the sewing committee reported 1691 art- icles completed. In June 1916, Mrs. H. Tuck was added "to the exe'cutive in the capacity of second vice-presi- dent and Mrs. J. A. Green-e. became treasurer, both continuing in office for the duration of the war. The annual meeting of the Auxilâ€" iary on June 12th, 1917, was adr dressed by Mr. Norman Sommerville, the present chairman of Central Council. At this time Dr. Lillian Langstaff became president, Mrs. MdMa-hon 1st vice-president and the late Miss Anne Boyle secretary. Mrs. Wm. Cook took charge of the knitt- ing and Mrs. John Sheardown of the sewing. These ladies continued in office until the Auxiliary dissolved! in June 1919. A “Do Your Bit" Club of High School students was organized and raised money in various ways, its main objective being to present the boys on their return with an ad< d‘ress and: a $5.00 gold piece. To sum up. briefly the accomp- lishments of the Auxiliary the splen- did sum of $6559.88 was raised. This was done by private donations, gar- den parties, monthly house to house canvas, church donations, High School, Public School, York Choral, Agricultural Society and private house functions. At the Industrial Farm DemonstratiOn meals were served by the Richmond Hill and Thornhill Red, Cross Societies and $900.00 was realized jointly. With this money sewing and knitting sup- plies were purchased, Christmas boxes sent each year in conjunction with the Girl-s’ Branch to some 84 local boys, and! the following dona- tions made: Sailors’ Comforts, $50; 3 Prisoners of War, $90; Canadian War Hospital Fund, $25; Red Cross, Toronto, $100; 2 cots in hospital, $100; British Red Cross, $300. The quantities of knitted goods and hospital supplies shipped to head- quarters is not available but work went on» continuously throughout the three and a half years of war, and for six months afterwards in aid of the refugees. One member is known to have knit two hundred and fifty pairs of socks. - A n . 117A... Since the close of the Great War the Canadian Red Cross Society has continued to exist as a body and to carry on tremendous peace-time pro- jects. With the machinery already in operation, at Great Britain’s de- claration of war in early September, 1939, the Canadian Red Cross sprang immediately into wartixne activity, and numerous branches were formed throughout the pr0vinces. On Sep- :ion of war in I the Canadian R diately into W: mmerous brand ghout the prov first year the women ing: be THURSDAY, MAY 9th, 1940. tember 8th the inaugural meeting of the Richmond Hill Red Cross Society was held in the Municipal Hall, off- icers elected and working commit- tees appointed. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. P. C. Hill, and with an executive on which were many women who had given unspar- ingl‘y of their time and effort dur- ing the last c1‘isis,,and whose wise counsel has been invaluable in the past seven months, work commenced and has gone steadily forward. The upstair post office room has made a bright sewing room, headguarters for business meetings and distribut- ing centre for supplies. Numerous money-making events have been sponsored by the Society and the continued interest and support of the people of the community is most ; gratifying. At Christmas three boxes were sent to the boys from our district overseas. In January a cheque for $50.00 went to Provincial Headquart- ers. Knitted goods and hospital sup- plies completed to date are as fol- lows: 351 pairs of socks; 75 pairs of wristlets; 13 caps, 47 scarves, 13 sweaters; 101%; pairs of half-mitts; I70 sheets; 11 pairs pyjamas; 700 handkerchiefs; 19 hospital bed gowns; 140 ice bag covers; 40 metal box linings for sterilized dressings; v5 quilts for refugees; 143 pillow cases; 116 triangular bandages;~ 119 surgical towels; 44 abdominal bind- :ers; 2 hot water bottle covers. Total proceeds to date amount to $1205.90. On September 19th the Girl-s’ 'Branch of the Richmond Hill Red Cross Society was formed and be- lsides assisting the Senior group in 'many projects, this branch has raised 1 $176.40 and made a shipment to headquarters of 645 surgical dress- ings and 76 wash cloths.- Barbara C.
