torsion CFIAM PI'INNH IP EV RNTR,
FOR THE BRITISH RED CROSS.
Canvass of the Town Will Be Made
Thursday. Oct. 18.
The annual Trafalgar Day appeal is to'-..
be made to the people of Canada in he -
half of the British Red Cross fund, and
Goderich is asked to do at least as well as
in 1915 and 19111 in support of the fund.
In response to an appeal from the head
office of the fund in Canada, Mayor
Munnings called a public meeting for
Tuesday evening last. when it was de-
cided that a canvass of the town should
be made on Thursday, October hath. This
is the day set apart for the appeal
throughout Canada.
Reeve Nairn was appointed chairman
of the Meal committee. Mr. Geo. Williams
treasurer, and Mr. W. H. Robertson
secretary. A chairman of the canvassing
committee was appointed for each poll-
ing subdivision of the town, and other
arrangements were made Pc the canvass.
Another meeting will be held at the
town hall on Friday evening of this week
to complete the organization. Every-
one interested in the work is invited to
attend. and it is especially requested that
all of the chairmen of canvassing com-
mittees tx• on hand at this meeting.
The appeal of the British Red Cross is
more ur ent than ever this year. as t
ex • • iture• Rai math? therms/It +11
the first and second years of the war.
'`When one remembers the millions of
men affected, and also the fact that the
British Red Crass is the only institution
which carries volnntary auto the sick
and wounded of the British forces on land
and sea, in every region of the war, it is
obvious why this special 'Our Day'' appeal.
on October lath, concerns all classes of
British subjects, whether -living in the
British isles. in the dominions and col-
onies beyond the seas, or in foreign
countries."
