Will everyone do his or her part to help relieve suffering in Great Britain? NEW or GOOD AS NEW blankets are acceptable, If the blankets are not new but good as new, they should be cleaned or washed before shipping, *. * * Knitters are urgently requested to save all scraps and short ends of wool and turn them in to the Branch to be used to make blankets.

So please save all ends of wool and send them in with discarded knitted made into be sent to We are Red Cross asking for renewals of member­ ship, The membership fee is $1.00 and yodf card may be obtained from the President of your own Unit. Colonel Scott, Acting Commis­ sioner for the Red Cross in Great Britain paid a glowing tribute to .the work done by Canadian women in the last year. He stated that the quality of-’ the garments was outstanding—but that clothing and knitted comforts will be needed in ever-increasing quantities as the months progress. The Canadian Red Cross Society has been asked for the same fall quota as last year, 250,00,0 articles of civilian clothing with the added request for as much more as pos­ sible. Therefore,, whether we fail or succeed to meet this call rests entirely with our workers. Let us continue to SEW—KNIT—SHIP. * * ♦ A. Traquair, chairman of the Time Salvage Committee, who also acting toy the Lions Sal- Campaign, has turned over to the Red Cross Society the sum of $102.40 from the sale of the waste materials collected. A portion of the money goes to some schools in the surrounding district. There were 5 tons of paper, 4 tons of small iron, 600 pounds of .rags, 120 pounds of aluminum, also zinc, carpets, bag­ ging, 'batteries, chicken feathers and scrap tires. The school boys and girls who worked on this campaign are particularly deserving of thanks for their war effort. If those same boys and girls could organize a Weekly collection of waste paper and corrugated cardboard boxes, it would help a great deal.

In the speaker’s judgment these airports are not merely for the duration of the war but will be operating, .perhaps in a lesser de­ gree, for many years to,< come. Canada, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Pacific -Ocean on the other, ,is the centre of the Em­ pire and the logical location for a training ground. Following the war there is every possibility of a tremendous industrial’ development with Great- Britain moving many of her factories here- Particularly will this be true with the opening' up of a de&p-sea waterway. An air­ port should be a tremendous -asset to the community. It will give the, opportunity of meeting a lot of splendid, cultivated persons; The speaker thought that when the air­ port was completed jt will be taken over by the R.A.F.1* Many -of the men will bring their wives if they can secure satisfactory adcommoda-! tion. The speaker -suggested that' this accommodation might well be supplied and a steady inoome en­ joyed it reasonable prices prevail­ ed.

At the present time about two hundred persons are em­ ployed at the airport, but at .the peak of employment there vOill be between 600 and 800 .persons.
