Miss Twamley passed away Miss Violet Twamley The funeral of Violet Twamley, daughter of Mr. arid Mrs. William Twamley, of Concession 10, Ashfield, was held on Thursday afternoon from Hackett’s United Church, Ashfield, with services conducted by Rev. J, As you are aware, during the last : war, special campaigns were conduct- ; ed for the British Red Cross alone in- ; .dependently of the needs of the Can-. adian Red Cross. These campaigns ; were conducted by the Canadian Red ; Cross Society, and in foui- and one- ; half years produced over $6,000,000, which was. handed over to the British Red Cross. At the present time, it is not proposed that any such campaigns shall be conducted, but that the Can adian Red Cross Society will, from tirne to time as need arises, assist the British Red Cross with monies and supplies. In connection with the Canadian Red Cross No. 1 Base Hospital at Taplow, England, being erected on the grounds of Cliveden, special pro-, vision is made for research work to be conducted in connection with this hospital under (the personal supervis ion of otir own Sir Frederick Banting. This is d very important and necessary . development in connection with mak ing provision for our sick and wound ed that has not heretofore existed. A Club, which will accommodate 100 men every night, is being estab lished in London for the use of our soldiers. This Club will be operated by the Women’s Canadian Club. Finland A very strong appeal has been made on behalf of Finland by the Interna tional Red Cross Committee at Gen eva for assistance. Our Society ex pressed its willingness to help, and immediately transmitted the sum of .$9,000 to our National Commissioner in London. Since that date an additional $15,000 has been forwarded for Finnish Red Cross.-The total amount forwarded to date is $24,000 >of which $19,000 has been supplied by various Finnish ! groups throughout Canada. At the meeting of the Executive Committee held on January 8th, it was decided to make an additional grant, and the total amount of our credit to Finland was increased to $50,000, in clusive of the amounts already for warded. All this money is being used to pro vide ambulances fully equipped with j medicines, surgical dressings and doc tors. You will be glad ttflcnow that with in seventy-Hvo hours of the receipt of the money ambulances with surgical I supplies and doctors were already on j their way to Finland. Pdland The report of the conditions in Po land indicates very great need there. The total amount of credit already granted for Poland was the sum of $25,000, of which approximately $15,- 000 has been furnished by Polish Soc ieties in Canada. After eight weeks of investigation into conditions in Poland the repre sentative of the American Red Cross made the following statement: That portion of Poland which lias been annexed since the war by Ger many is closed to all foreigners. No one may do any work in that area, and no information is available as to the conditions existing there. That portion of Poland annexed by Russia is similarly closed to all. for eigners, and no information is avail able whatever as to the conditions there. Between these two sections Ger many has set up what is called a Pol ish area, a soft of buffer state between Russia and Germany. The total pop ulation of the area is approximately 14,000,00 people, This area is suf fering terribly from the ravages of the War. Warsaw, with a population 1,300,000 has an enormous number of sick and wounded. One-third of the buildings in Warsaw have been com pletely destroyed. At least another one-third have been, very badly dam aged. To add to the conditions already made serious by the ravages of war, the Germans have moved hundreds oi thousands of Poles, both Jews and Aryans, out of the German Reich and out of the provinces they have annex ed, Into this Bolish area. This mass ed movement of bdbtdations* without ■■ ■.’ i ' .' money and without adequate clothing and other provisions, torn from their settled habitations and environment, have just been turjied loose, and thus aggravated the situation in Poland,, The Polish refugees in Lithuania number over 125,000. No relief has as yet reached them owing to the great ly disturbed conditions in (the Baltic. However, the Swedish Red Cross is attempting to get clothing, surgical and hospital supplies to these thous ands. Relief is also badly needed for about 100,000 Polish refugees in Hun gary and Rumania.
