Legge There ,is a large building in the heart of London in which a band of busy workers, many of them volunteer, -do their utmost to help alleviate the miseries caused by the war. It is Canadian Red Cross Head- • quarters. Last August the Canadian editors went there and were shown some of the work in progress, These Headquarters occupy five stories of a building loaned to the Red .iiiiCross by Lord Crichley. The offices lireverlook Berkley Square, a spot made famous in song and drama, which would scarcely be recognized by those who knew it in peace' time. The iron railing around the square has been made into munitions.

Wheels that have made it possible for Canada to grow in strength. Today those wheels-the driv- ing wheels of Canada's railways- are setting the pace for the war effort. Then haul raw materials to humming war industries and rush away the finished tools of battle. They move food and fuel for the home front and the fighting front. They speed civilians on essential business, hasten troops to camps, embarkation points and on leave. It's Canada's big war job. A job that only railway wheels can do. A job in which an army of 1 50,000 CANADIAN RAILWAY FREIGHT RATES ARE THE LOWEST IN THE WORLD IF POSSIBLE AVOID TRAVEL OVER WEEK-ENDS AND HOLIDAYS railway workers, men and women, is in the fight for Canada shop crews and train crews, yard workers, section hands, telegra- phers, signal men and office workers, a multitude of men and women in a multitude of jobs They are making the giant wheels turn faster and faster. From coast to coast in Canada, we-your railways-are rolling in the service of freedom, and our lines to and in the United States have linked the war efforts of two great sister. nations. The railway wheels are driv- , ing, in war as in peace, for Canada. CANADIAN NATIONAL CA ADIAN PACIFIC atnr‘,.7736e4a4pAss Weert• sreed;Pesszsess .11.1111591C, IWW111•111.1.1•101...11•11.E.N.

For 'ice makes possible the transportation of vast quantities of perishable foodstuffs across the Dominion to embarkation points for the battle fronts, The con- sumption of ice, whether natural or manufactured, has been considerably increased for domestic !use through the conservation of metal and the restric- tions placed on the manufacture of electric refrigerators, "What is manu- factured ice?,", asks the writer. Though they may be unaware of it, many housewives are daily witnessing the process when they fill the trays in their refrigerator and a short while later remove the ice cubes. The manu- facture of ice on a commercial scale is merely the same process magnified. Long, narrow, deep containers are fil- led with water and loivered into "swimming pool" filled with brine. The brine, which may be simply salt or other chemicals dissolved in water, has a lower freezing point than the water in the containers and is kept at a constant temperature of several de- grees" below freezing through a cool- ing system utilizing anhydrous am- monia as the chemical refrigerant. It takes forty hours to freeze- water into a 400-pound block of ice! minutes of previous meeting read by the secretary, Mrs. Spence Irwin, ap- proved as read. We decided to can- cell our Easter Thankofferi•ng meeting and have a special Thankoffering on the 11th of April in the afternoon, when we have some of the. R.C.A.F. men from Port Albert, Mr. Bailie, a student just over from England and special singing in Hackett's United Church at 3 p.m. Our April regular meeting to be Grandmother's Day, at the home of Mrs. George Alton, Roll Call was then answered by 18 present. Corr. Sec'y,, Mrs. Mullin reported on the members. A solo by Mrs. Alec Hackett Jr., Jesus Keep Me Near- The Cross, accompanied by herself on the guitar. The study book was read b'y Mrs. Bert, Alton. Some of the Heralds reported-China, Miss Bern- adeen Alton; North West, Mrs, Roy Lane, spent a few clays the beginning Alton; Africa, Mrs. Bert Alton; Temp- of the week in London with their rel- trenches have added to the scene of desolation. Several buildings in the immediate vicinity have been. struek. Lady \VV. lingdon's house on one corner of the square has suffered a direct hit. Inside the Red cross Building, however, everything is eleatt and well ordered and the work goes on with quiet • efficiency, Crates • Of supplies are being un- loaded, sorted, listed, and stored away in their proper places., or made into shipments to fill requisitions, Few people realize the amount of work accomplished by the Red Cross, not only in quantity, but in V4 icty. We saw them making up special parcels for prisoners of war, snpplies for hospitals and for sick and wound,' ed, articles for babies of men on active service, replacements of articles lost by men who had been shot, down, torpedoed or bombed, and many other •urgent needs. It is possible in some cases, that the very lives of prisoners of war in enemy hands has depended Open the parcels supplied by the Red Cross. Each prisoner is allowed one parcel of food weekly. These parcels sup- plied by the Red Cross weigh approx- imately eleven -pounds. In addition, the prisoners are allowed a quarterly parcel from the next-of-kite They told us that parcels to prison- ers in Germany are getting through to them fairly well and that they are now getting through to prisoners. in Italy much better than they were prey-. The -Red Cross• received many re- quests for special articles. Every ef- fort is made to supply them if pos- sible and if they are allowed to be sent, We were shown one letter re- ceived from Flying Officer Bruce Dawson Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Campbell, of Pointe Claire, Que., asking for elementary and ad- vanced textbooks on Algebra and Trigonometry. This shows that many prisoners are anxious to put their en- forced idleness to as good use as pos- sible. Those at work in the Red Cross Headquarters went ,to great pains to show us around and answer our ques- tions. One of them was Lady El- lison, who is doing work in the pris- oners' department. She did similar work during the last war.• While looking at the boxes of-goods sent over from local Red Cross groups in Canada, we were told that soldiers have an aversion to mitts, and usually will not wear them. As a result those sent over from Canada have to be made over into gloves. The great need was stressed for turtle neck sweaters, gloves, and sea- men's socks. Last named are also used by airmen. On some Shelves were more unusual items, such as maple sugar ,and other supplies made in Canada. Some sup- plies were being assembled to replace kits lost by soldiers at Dieppe, A constant .supply of eomforts to all services of the Canadian Forces is being delivered. Every week, on a regular delivery basis by Red Cross Transport, and thence through the us- ual channels of supply, thousands of woollen comforts are being issued to the troops. Every week, invalid deli- cacies, hospital supplies, cigarettes, chewing, gtun, games, pipes, etc., are being sent to Getieral Hospitals, Casualty Clearing Stations, Field Ambulances, and to R.A.F. and ,civ- ilian hospitals where Canadian patients may be. A hnge visitors' service is maintain- ed throughout England and Scotland, Canadian Red Cress visitors (all yols untary) maintain daily contact with Canadian patients. in Canadian Army, and British and Scottish hospitals, see that they get needed supplies, shop for them, and sometimes. even Write letters for them. Visitors' reports, in detail, are sent weekly to Berkley Square, where information is collated, and, when necessary, letters are writ- ten to next-of-kin in Canada. Handicrafts at all Canadian (General Hospitals are supervised entirely by the Canadian Red Cross. Staffs at all hospitals furnish materials for rug- making and leather woils, and teach patients how to make the articles. The patients pay for the cost of the mater- ials, and are allowed to make a small profit out of their handiwork. The Reliefl Department at Berkeley Square ships out on an average fifty thousand civilian relief articles of clothing per week. The Canadian Junior Red Cross supports and has adopted eight resi- dential War Nurseries in England, and supplies clothing for the youthful inmates. Three more such Nurseries are shortly to be adopted. Less than one hundred years ago, the sufferings of wounded soldiers and prisoners were intensified by lack of care and utter neglect. Today, thanks to the Red Cross ,there is a tremend- ous.change. One cannot help but be impressed by the strides taken since the International Red Cross was org- anized by rules drafted at a eonfer- ence in Genevain 1863. The Canadian Red Cross Head- quarters in London is a reservoir into which pours supplies produced by small groups all across Canada. Thence in turn they are spread over a vast territory to fill a wide range of needs, No wonder it is a (busy spot. All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness. - Coleridge. atives, the Alton's, with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Manning and Mrs. Lane, with her daughter, Mrs. Goldie Wheeler and Mr. Wheeler.
