Most recent and graphic ex- ample of the work of the Red Cross was during the Toronto flood last tail. As the hurricane and its torrents swelled the Humber River, water overflowed its banks, roaring across flat lands, carrying everything before it; Houses were ripped s from their foundations or criished where they stood. Cars were washed from bridges or swamped at low points in the road. Whole fainilies were drowned, and many more families lost all their furni- ture and possessions. In Action Early From the .earliest stages of the disaster, the Red Cross was in action. Red Cross corps girls took part in rescue operations, helping to carry many children and sick or aged people to safety. Feeding and clothing centres were set up to relieve the home- less and hundreds of volunteer workers turned out to help, Registration centres went into action to co-ordinate relief efforts and to help reunited fam- ilies and collect information fOr anxious enquirers. The Bed Cross was a vital factor in reliev- ing distress. The Red Cross was ready, be- cause of the generous _donations of money and service cheerfully rendered by. thousands of Cana- dians. When the canvasser calls, remember the hurricane disaster and all the thousands of less spectacular works of mercy and give generously to keep the Red Cross ready. DAM SHOES AT WUERTHS Men, Women!
