On completion Of these reports,
Mrs. R. H. Carson gave the complete
report of the society as follows:
Report of Work Committee
The report for year 1942 of the
Gorrie and district Red Cross Society
is a very satisfactory one. The work
has been carried_ an faithfully by the
committees in charge with Mrs. Holm-
es as convenor. Eight groups in the
_district have joined with the Gorrie
Group making a total of approxim-
ately 200 workers. Quite large,quotas
have been received and most of the
items have been taken care of. The
Purchasing Committee have purchas-
ed most of their supplies through the
Toronto' Office—some yarn and py-
jama cloth in Listowel and small items
were purchased locally. In some cas-
es the Toronto Office forwarded the
materials required for certain items or
the quotas without a special order.
The cutting committee have cut out
a large quantity of macrial for sewing.
The disributing committee have becu
on duty Saturday afternoons and even-
ings and have endeavoured to look
after the distribution and the return
of completed articles in reasonable
time. In order to assest the groups
in the district with their quilt making,
linings and baits were purchased and
resold to .groups at cost, the money
being turned over to treasurer. This
work was looked after by the distribu-
ting committee. The program com-
mittees have raised funds in various
ways, chiefly by putting on dances,
serving lunch, etc. The inspection and
packing committees have met in rooms
1st Wednesday of each month, when
bales were packed. Thanks is due to
Mr. Holmes for keeping on fires, trips
with his car, carrying of bundles ' rif
goods upstairs, etc., also to Mr. Doug-
las, Mr. Wm. Gallaher and Mr. Robt.
