Each year the accounting is opproVed by auditors of the Dominion Gover'n'ment. Wingham Canadian Legion Is Helping to Secure It Since the work carried on by the Red Cross is so vital to so many people, the Wingham Branch of the Canadian Legion has undertaken to sponsor the drive locally. • We want your help, and we intend to ask you personally for your contribution. We of the Wingham Legion have a very direct interest in the Red Cross. Since the work in this district has been handled from the London office, we have learned of the multitude of services which this organization offers to the disabled men at West= minster Hospital in London. Every man who is under treatment at the big military hospital has reasons aplenty to thank the Red Cross for making life pleasanter at every turn. Those men who are being comforted in such practical ways are our buddies. They did the same job as ourselves, but did not emerge without the cost of wounds. They cannot move about their daily tasks as we do . — job to the Red Cross is right on the to make their lot a bit easier. Of course Westminster is not the only place where men, women and children have reason to bless the name of the Red Cross. Its work of mercy extends to every place in this whole land where there is suffering and unhappiness . . . and though many of the workers never receive any pay it still takes money for the purchase of medical supplies and equip= ment. We, of the Wingham Legion are asking that you give some serious thought to the matter of your contribution to the Red Cross. When our can= vasser calls, please be prepared to give generously. This is one of the most important appeals addressed to you in any year. Give with your whole heart.
