This army,’like that of the fighting forces, must have the support of the home base from which to draw its supplies, and we men, women and children back home, away from the horrors of war, away from bombs, destruction, suffering and death; living in ease, peaceâ€" ful surroundings, with bread enough and to spare, no blackouts, and business as usual, are the base from which supplies of all sorts, not supplied by the governments concerned with the war, are to go to all who suffer, through the “Angels of Mercy” of the Red Cross. Just now comes a desperate call from widows, orphans, homeless, the hungry, the injured, the dying; from soldier, sailor, airman, from auxiliary forces, for just the help we people who are living in comfort are able to give. “And yonder where the Battle’s waves Broke yesterday o’erhead, Where now the swift and shallow graves Cover our English dead, Think how your sisters play their part, Who serve as in a holy shrine, Tender of hand and brave of heart, Under the Red Cross Sign.” Whenever I think of the Red Cross Society. I thing of so many things. of bandages, blankets, beds, bread, medicine, medi- cal supplies, ambulances, socks, mitts, caps, sweaters, bed gowns, pneumonia jackets, pyjamas, sheets, clothing, pillowcases, read- ing matter, parcels for war prisoners, comforts of all sorts, and other articles too numerous to mention. Of late, the slogan has been, “BUY BONDS TO MAKE BOMBS," and while all peace loving people hate war, we know that we can never again have true peace unless we have bombs and more bombs. Bombs mean destruction, suffering and death; and the gallant men 02 the Army, Air Force and Navy cannot be expected to be fighting and to alleviate suffering. And so the Red (,Iross Society has come to be known as the great Auxil- iary to the war effort, to help to clean up the mess caused by war, as well as to do its many peace time activities such as in the time of famine, earthquake and plague. Only this summer we were motoring in the wilds of one of our northern counties, and were wondering how the people back there, miles from a doctor, managed in time of illness and accident. Our anxiety was lessened when we came upon a complete Red Cross Outpost Hospital situated in a small settlement. In Canada, since the outbreak of this war, $5,000,000 has been raised to keep the Red Cross at its post. Of this sum, $2.000,000 was spent in the purchase of materials that Canadian women have made up into supplies which have been given in millions, not only to our Canadian soldiers, but to the men of the British navy. Gifts were sent to Poland, Finland and other parts of stricken Europe, and lately to brave London. On September 3rd, 1939, Great Britain was forced to de- clare war. Twentyâ€"four hours later, the Red Cross Executive of Canada met at Ottawa and set up machinery for the estab- lishment of provincial, district and local war councils. Through the quick action of the central council, the provincial represent- atiV'es‘and the executive committee, Canadian Red Cross was able to draw together its Widely spread network of 9,000 volun- teer groups. » The Red Cross had scarcely got into action when word came of the sinking of the Athenia. The Canadian Red Cross heard the cries of the sufferers and voted $10,000 for their relief. The full story of this humanitarian society can never be told. There are items that represent a tremendous amount of work and expense; 100,000 pairs of socks from the hands of Canadian women for the British navy, 2,000 pairs to soldiers without a home or country. These and other useful articles add up to a grand total of 4.939250 items, every one made by the women and children of Canada. Nor does the Red Cross Society confine its energies to the living. During the last war a mobile unit of the Red Cross was formed to search for “missing” on the battle fields, marking and registering graves of the fallen, and communicating their findings to relatives. Apart from all the usual services rendâ€" ered, the ambulance launches carried 414,000 passengers and travelled 683,000 miles While at the various seats of war, and in the British Isles Red Cross motor ambulance cars moved 10,- 000,000 sick and wounded cases, at a cost of approximately $10,- 000,000. We are familiar with the important work being done by the Richmond Hill branch of the Red Cross. Figures have been pub- lished from time to time. It is interesting to note what was done by this branch during the last war. From June 1915 to November 1918 this branch shipped 37,665 articles, and receipts totalled $1306.44. During the first year the women of the branch knitted 793 pairs of socks. The total sum of $6,559.88 was raised. and gifts were sent to Sailors, Prisoners of War, War Hospital Fund, Cots for Hospital and gifts and sums to other worthy objects. This is but a sample of the work done by the Richmond Hill Red Cross then, and they are well organ- ized to do it now. The demand upon the Red Cross is very great, and with all the ruthless bombing of undefended towns and villages; with the destruction of so many homes of the people unable to help themselves, and the wounding of w0men and children, the strain on the finances of the Red Cross is very great. The Red Cross can go as far as its funds permit. Everything depends upon our cents and dollars. And these cents and dollars can only be secured by appeals and campaigns. The Richmond Hill Lions Club realizing that the members of the local Red Cross are doing their share and cannot be ex- pected to go out to raise funds, have decided to relieve them of that task. The members of the Lions Club are busy men, but they have decided to give their spare time to go from house to house to collect funds in connection with the National Cam- Commencing next week the Canadian Red Cross Society will launch a house to house campaign from coast to coast for funds to buy equipment with which to continue its “March of Mercy,” to bind up broken bodies, to shelter the homeless, to wipe away the tears and cheer those who have been watching, waiting, fighting and losing their all. HATS OFF TO THE RED CROSS RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19th, 1940 (Contributed on behalf of the committee in charge of the local Red Cross Canvass, by Rev. W. F. Wrixon) 3 “ CROSS COUNTRY ROMANCE ” § With GENE RAYMOND . WENDY BARRIE : QUAINT ST.

Over sixty were present and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. A scavenger hunt through the village was won by Dorothy Keffer and Ken Jennings. The regular nieeting will be held next Monday evening in the Sunday School room. Everyone welcome. a real job of the bit we are asked to do. Richmond Hill must not fail the Red Cross. Let us remember that since the outbreak of war the Red Cross has been on the job day and night, feeding the hungry, supplying clothing, dressing wounds, carrying the helpless to safety: workers risking and giving their lives to alleviate the sufferlng of those struck down by the horrors of war. The root idea of the Red Cross is that whatever it can do to save the life or limb of a wounded soldier, or to alleviate his suffering, it is willing to do, without question, whenever and wherever its assistance can be usefully employed; and what- ever can be provided to cheer or comfort him, it will provide so long as its funds permit. The citizens of Richmond Hill and surrounding country are ever ready to listen to an appeal on behalf of those who suffer, and are ever ready to give liberally to any worth while object. They will take their place with other communities from coast to coast on behalf of the Red Cross, and will meet the Lions who call on them with a smile and generous gift for that great society whose aim is to ease pain, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and to assist in every possible way those who fight for us. ‘ paig‘n, to keep the “Army of Mercy on the March.” How easy is our part in this great struggle for freedom, religion. and for all that is highest and best. We stay back home in ease and undisturbed, and all we are asked to do is to back up those who are protecting us and ours. Let us make Mr. and Mrs. Rdbt. Ramsey spent last week at Cleveland, Ohio.
