With disasters, civil war in Nigeria, etc, the• Red Cross $Qciet:
is, very much in the news.
The Red •Cross could always go into a disaster area.. Biafra, thg
seeedine Province of Nigeria, was the first coip'itr7 to which
admission was refused. In its 14-month war with the federal
authorities its people have become impoverished and an estimated
6,000 die daily ,of starvation. For fear of poison by the enemy, they
would not accept food or medical supplies if they came through
corridor in federal Nigeria, or a plane which would touch Owe for
inspection,
On August 14, Biafra designated the air strip at Obilagn as a
landing strip for food and medical supplies to be flown in from thc
Spanish Island of Fernando Pt, 60 miles distant, where 35,Q00 tom
was stock-piled by the International Red cross, Geneva. The federal
frees threatened to fire on them An agreement has been reached
whereby five planes fly 50 tons per day into Biafra from September
5 — 15,
The first Red Cross Society was formed in Switzerland over a
hundred years ago, The Canadian Red Cross was founded in 189
and incorporated in 1909.
"The strength of the Red Cross is in its voluntary works."
Miss Margaret J. Macdonald who has been spending simmer;
here with Miss Mabel E. Hodgins for nineteen years, retired Cron-
teaching in June 1961 and in September of that year, she became
volunteer worker at the Head Office in Toronto as National
Vice-Chairman of women's work. In 1967 she was acting chairmar
and until her retirement June 30, 1968.
Lucy recalls that when the Turkish earthquake disastei
occurred about two years ago, she was amazed that Miss Macdonalc
knew off-hand where and how supplies would go. In that disaster
woman member of the staff, born in Armenia went to Turkey t
help distribute the supplies. She wore a military uniform.
Storehouses were maintained at Le Havre and Marseilles
France but they are being, dismantled, also one in Hong Kong
Others are in Beirut, Lebanon; Mombasa, East Africa, Singapor
(recently opened) and Santiago, Chili.
During the summer extra supplies are held in Quebec an
Ontario in case of a sudden disaster.
Miss Macdonald was bookkeeper for the women's work. Sh
explained that it was a large book with pages for each province, eac
storehouse and each country. When designated for a certain area i
was entered in pencil and once on its way, ink was used.
In each carton are shipping sheets listing the contents and th
country to which the cartons are being sent, for instance they migh
contain 20 tropical layettes, children's dresses, sizes; boys clothing
sizes; women's crocheted grey shawls; men's soft pyjamas. Th
consignment might be shipped from Montreal and as soon
rteopionrkted the entry in the Igrge book would be changed from penci
Quilts are being replaced by afghans, Lucy learned, becau
they are much cheaper to transport owing to weight. They hav
holes through which the air can go. "This change-over has been
severe blow to the faithful quilters who have been doing it for mos
of their life time," said Miss Macdonald.
The accomplishments of thousands of volunteer members o
the Women's Work Committee can never be measured by a dolla
sign. It is impossible to place an estimate on the time and talents o
these dedicated workers. Their year-round effort in Red Cross wor
rooms and in their homes is a labour of love and a genuine conce
for the welfare of others. It is estimated that each sewn and knitte
article produced by the volunteers has a value of at least 21/2 tim
that of the cost of materials. Therefore, the expenditure is no
realistic and represents only the cost of materials, shipping and othe
expenses. (Dispatch, Summer 1968)
The women's work program increased 14 percent over 1966 i
value of shipments overseas involving aid to 24 countries, four leagu
warehouses and to UNRWA. Gharia was one country and t
Vietnamese refugee childpeeen Lags. lizolk „
The following report rar 1962, .frdim the despatch shoWe th
enormity of the work: Articles distributed, in Canada, 37,20
articles 'shipped overseas, 502,487, value of articles shipped overse
$552,290, surgical dressings distributed, 7,245,679.
This Canadian Red Cross is able to rush emergency reli
supplies "and technical personnel from Canada at an amazing spec
within hours of a tragedy. This is accomplished through t
cooperation of External Aid, the Royal Canadian Air Fore
domestic and international air lines and steamship companies.
Lucy was simply aghast at• the services and programs of t
Canadian Red Cross Society — Blood Transfusion Service; Canadi
Red Cross Corps; Individual Emergency Aid; Disaster Service
Health work; Highway First Aid Posts; Home Mother Servic
Sickroom Supply Loan Service; Outpost Hospitals and Nursi
Stations; First Aid; Care in the Home Course; Water Safety; R
Cross Youth; Arts and Crafts; Film Service — D.V.A. Hospital
Hospital Visiting; Lodges and Soldiers' Clubs; Voluntary Service
Women's Work — in the latter one Centeapial Project was that
producing 10,000 extra layettes for their international assistan
program. It was exceeded by well over 50 per cent making 15,3
with a value of $150,000.
In connection with the sewing, Lucy .learned that a yard
thread costs .0007 cents and it takes four yards to make a diaper.
They try not to send white to any nation of Chinese origin
it is a sign of mourning. In Africa the brightest .colours are used
children's clothing, comforts for men and women.
When Miss Macdonald first volunteered for work at t
National Headquarters in Toronto Dr. W. Stuart Stanbury, M.B.
B.A., M.D., eldest son of the late Judge J. G. Stanbury, and grands
of Dr. Richard Stanbury who practised in Bayfield in the early da
was National Commissioner. He died about five years ago at
International Red Cross meeting in Haiti, and was succeed
temporarily by Dr. T. H. Phair. The national commissioner is n
Major-General A. E. Wrinch, C.B.E., C.D., P.Eng.
Dr. Stuart Stanbury visited his grandparents when a boy livi
in Exeter. Lucy recalls that he was interested in nature and to
long walks up the river valley with his great uncle,, the Rev. J. Stu
D.D. She also heard later of his medical work in Hamilton.
Through his war experiences while serving in England, he
prompted to start the Red Cross free blood transfusion service, fi
in British Columbia, and then across Canada. This enables a blo
bank of ordinary and rare types to be kept on hand for emergen
Recently, a very rare type blood was flown from Newfoundland
Czeckoslovakia.
It is really a thrilling story beginning with the organization o
Red Cross Society in Switzerland on October 26, 1863 by J
Henri Dunant — "a voluntary relief organization not prompted
any manner by desire for gain" for all races, creeds and colour
relieve human suffering.
There are over a hundred participating nations in the Lea
of Red Cross Societies in Geneva. These include Commu
countries.
Bayfield had a flourishing Red Cross Society here dun
World War II but attendance dropped off after the need for soldie
comforts ceased, The charter was surrendered in 1947.
Lucy feels that an executive should have been appointed
hold the necessary meetings and retain the charter. It is work
which all Canadians should piny a part. We have so Much in Cana
and should give freely of our time and means to those who have n
The financial report for 1967 notes that donations were down.
Indications of letters of appreciation is the following fr
Ghana describing the scene when Canadian Red Cross clothing a
layettes were distributed:
"The inhabitants of this village barely get enough stibsisten
from the vegetables and few sheep and goats which they re
Children unfortunately suffer the most from this deprivation.
"It was therefore a jubilant occasion when a ,team fr

each and every one of them took something home, A spokesma
the village linguist, among other things said, "Give (Mir most since
