TRUTH ABOUT THE RED CROSS If your neighbour tells y0u the Canadian Red Cross Society is sell- ing the socks and sweaters that patriotic women knit for the soldiers and. sailors, it's a Nazi lie. The Red Cross has never been able to obtain proof that socks so made are being sold for 49 cents a pair, or any other price. The canard has [been official- ly denied a score of times, but, is still circulating. Out of every dolLar subscribed to the Canadian Red Cross Society 80 cents is being used for actual war work, 14.5 cents for peacetime ser- vices, and only 3.5 cents for admin- istration. The Canadian Red Cross has for months been shipping thousands of cases of hospital supplies, surgical dressings and comforts, including knitted goods made Iby Canadian wo- men, to be available in. England for emergencies. Thousands of refugees from Holland and Belgium who have poured into England are .being help- ed. An organization has been set up to minister to the Canadian sol- diers overseas. A GOOâ€"'bed Red Cross hospital has been erected and equipp- ed at Taplow, near Windsor Castle. Canadian prisoners of war in Ger» many will be fed and cared for, as they were during the last war, when 2,700 were supplied the necessities of life in One month. Nazi lies about the Canadian Red Cross are circulated to discourage the thousands of women across the Dominion who are giving of their time and effort voluntarily to pro- vide comforts for the gallant fight- ing men. Subscribers to this humanitarian so- ciety will realize that the Red Cross- is definitely an emergency organiza- tion which cannot be tied down to a prepared budget controlled by a joint community chest effort. Its work is universal, and its scope is limited- onlv by the need.â€"Globe & Mail.

A FULL LINE OF PIONEER and PURINA FEEDS PHONE 62 KEN DILL, Manager I have read with much interest the letter of Mr. Burrows in issue of May 16th under this heading. Right from a very small lad I went yearly to this Fair and sure did en‘- y--.“ joy it. Having been born in the village of Patterson, only 1% miles away, we as kids were in the “Hill” a lot. The grounds were in Vaughan Township right opposite the home of the late James McLean. There were horse racing events and Mr. John Palmer used to be the regular winner. At the east end of the grounds were the refreshment 'booths and I remember in particular the one kept by Mr. Peter G. Savage. At this :booth a lad could get a piece of Gingerbread 5 inches square and 1 inch thick for 5c., with another 5c. for a long glass of circus lemon- ade, and what [boy could refrain- from partaking of that treat. The Palmer House seemed to be a very busy place on Fair day with two‘ other hotels also running. The vilâ€" lage constalble, Jim Brownlee, was indeed a very busy man. If I re- member correctly the population was albout 600 then. There was a real good band and a lacrosse team which won the western district medal from Brampton and broughtlmuch fame to the place. I visit around there every couple of years as I have some relatives and other friends around there still. As the Fair holds the record of being the oldest one in Ontario may it continue is my best Editor, The Liberal, Dear Sir:â€" wish Richvale Red Cross are holding a Book and Baking Sale on Saturday, June lst at 2.30 p.m. in Richvale School.

They’ll be at Richmond Hill Fair‘ performing in their own theatre. These actors play to capacity auâ€" diences the year round yet they don't get a single red cent for their work! Still, they possess every vestige and appearance of being perfectly normal and human in every detail. If a Broadway producer suddenly found himself with a flock of play- ers on his hand who would be will- ing to work for nothing, he w0uld think he was in a nut factory. Paradoxical as it may seem, Gor- don For-syth happens to be just that type of lucky producer. Many im- pressarios who stage hundred thouâ€" ’ ‘7 A-kn" annltll yAkuâ€"â€"_ sand dollar flops wish they could employ actors on the same wage scale as his. And travelling- expense is cut down to a minimum. The whole cast is packed in a trunk, tossed» in a truck and away they go for another engagement. . None of these Thespians is over twenty four inches high. They never complain about being overworked and never ask for a raise. They are satisfied to remain what they areâ€"«performers with Forsyth’s Mar- ionettes. With (bodies of wood, heads of plastic wooci and pieces of fibre for joints, these puppets sing and dance and do amazing stunts in re- sponse to the string jerks of expert manipulators. * n r m L...“ nn._ Red Cross Notes .. ..... r ,,,,, Mr. and Mrs. Forsyth and two as~ eistant puppeteers are bringing their novel marionettes entertainment to Richmond Hill: Fair for the first time. This is the .same company featured at the Nova Scotia Provin- cial Exhibition, the Western Fair and 'for four years at the Canadian Naâ€" tional Exhibition. At Toronto’s lead- ing department store Forsyth’s Mar- ionettes‘ have played a total of 60 Weeks in the past six years. The appeal of Forsyth’s Marion- ettes lies in the illuszon of flesh and blood reality that they possess, plus Showmanship in production. In their miniature theatre these pJppet actâ€" ors will present an amusing variety program of equal intercsv: to old and young alLke. Among the nfiny pet‘- sonalitievs featured in the attraction are Madame Tremolo and, Maestro Fortissimo in an astonishing recital, The Man on the Flying Trapeze, Hurricane, the untrained donkey, and seven dancing skeletons in a bone shaking dance! Truly a presentation replete with pleasant surprise. More than two hundred persons sat down to a banquet and enjoyed a splendid evening of varied‘ enterâ€" tainment when the local N. Clarke Wallace L.O.L. No. 28 staged an Open Night in the Woodbridge 0:- angi Hall on Thursday night of last wee . w Shun. In addition to many local ladies, the lodge also entertained represent- atives of lodges in the following centres: Brampton, Sandhill, Bolton, Nobleton, Richmond Hill, Willow- dale, Oshawa, Weston, Mount Den- nis,‘ West Toronto, Lamlbton, Isling- ton and Long Brancn.
