Red Cross Meeting
The local Red Cross unit held their
February meeting at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. Skinner on Tues
day evening of last week. Mr. Alvin
Pym took charge of the meeting
which Was opened with a sing-song.
A reading, “The Patriot”, was read
by Miss McCulloch and Kenneth

Readings were given by Mrs. Har

The committee to be in charge of
the next meeting is Mr. and Mrs. W.

of us that this year's crops will give
high yields as last?” Could you
answer that smartly, even if you are
a stove leaguer?
Sure, you’ve got a baby around
the house. Prior to- the war 75 %
of cod liver oil was imported, most
ly from Britain, Norway and, New
foundland. The fishing companies on
our Atlantic coast wasted much of
the precious vitamin content for
tanning, etc., feeding livestock and
ppultry. Do you know that since
194.1 we now have five plants of our
own producing refined medicinal cod
liver oil and that we will be in a
position to supply our own needs, the
U.S.A., South America, Australia and
China? That industry is a war baby
and, believe me, a pippin. Vitamin
feeding oils for veterinary purposes
will now be processed from the low
liest of British Columbia fish; and
the despised dogfish from out there
now produces Vitamin A oil, rich and
fortifying to margarine and for night
fliers, and is already being shipped
to the British Ministry of Food.
The Canadian Red cross, symbol
of mercy the world over, has again
taken to the high seas, this time
with a new system whereby surviv
ors of Ayis-destrpyed vessels can he

are picked up at sea. previous
ly, shipwrecked sailors were outfit
ted by the Red Cross after they had
been brought into port, hut it'was
felt that looking after survivors’
comforts until" the rescue vessel
docked was too great a strain on the
already overworked wardrobes of
the ship’s crew.
Through this new system, only
recently put into operation, surviv
ors’ dunnage ibags containing warm
clothing underwear, toilet supplies,
etc,, are issued by the Canadian Red
Cross to all Navy and merchant navy
vessels leaving Canadian ports-.
-Since the outbreak of war, hund
reds of shipwreck survivors have
passed through Red Cross depots
where they have exchanged their
torn, salt and oil stained garments
for warm outerclothing, underwear,
socks, sweaters and mitts knitted by
women volunteers all over Canada.
Red Cross distributing centres
have been set up in Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, in
Quebec along the shores of the lower
St.Lawrence and in British Colum-j
bia. I
This new system does not mean,'
however that the work of these cent-,
res will cease. Not everything a sur-l

pounds last year?” I asked Mirs. Tur

futhermore what assurance have any
