The thirteenth Annual Meeting of
the Gerrie and, District Red Cross
Branch was held in the Orange Hall
Gorrie on Thursday, Jammary 29th,
with only a fair attendance.
Rev, W, J. V, Buchanan opened the
meeting with a prayer, rededicating
this branch to the work of mercy
e which the society follows from year
to year, The hymn, "Blest Be the
Tie that Binds" was sung.
The minutes of the last Manual
Meeting were read by the secretary,
Mrs, N. Wade and adopted. The
treasurer, Mr, Harvey Sparling, pre-
sented a very encouraging report of
the year's finances, reporting the 1952
canvass amounting to $745, our
quota of $700 fully met, and leaving
us a balance of approximately $1,000.
Some donations came in through the
year also. As it is not the aim of the
society to retain funds to build a
large bank account the meeting voted
$500 to be sent to Headquarters to
assist in the manufacturing of blood
plasma, which, as yet, we here in
Howick (since World War 2) have
not been called on to assist. You will
remember that last year it was ex-
plained, that owing to high cost of
operating blood clinics, Gorrie had
been asked to assist in a financial
way, the Provincial Government hav-
ing offered free use of laboratories
in larger centres, Due to the lack of
water facilities, nursing help, eta.,
we are very glad to assist in this
donation at this time. We say, to
ourselves, that we hope that another
war never comes; but do we realize
that we have Canadian airmen, sail-
ors and soldiers at the front all the
time, soldiers stationed still in Ger-
many and that last year 99,000
bottles of plasm were needed hir the
armed forces? Besides this over
800,000 bottles has been used for civil-
lens in Canada alone.
Mrs. Wade, in her yearly report,
emphasized the fact that the Loan
Cupboard is for the use of the people
of the community, and it is gratify-
ing to the society to see them being
made use of, but that it is not the
purpose of the society to charge for
the use of the articles. They are free
to the community during sickness.
The Red Cress stands far the relief
of suffering. The four hospital beds
have been in almost constant use,
Four new plastic mattress covers
were purchased, also sides for two
of the hospital beds, to prevent rest-
less patients from falling out. These
sides have received favourable com-
ment wherever they have been need-
ed,
The Welfare Committee reported
boxes or comforts sent to all from
our district in hospital or overseas
with the exception of one, with whom
contact could not be made. Assist-
ance was also given in one case
I locally,
1 The Womans Work Committee re-
port given by Miss Margaret Dane
was as follows: sewing, 13 quilts, 22
layettes, 20 pairs boy's pyjamas (12
& 14), 20 prs, boy's overalls; knitting;
23 prs. mitts, 5 prs. knee socks, 2
boy's sweaters (6 yrs.), 8 scarves
(large).
The convener pointed out this work
is necessary to keep a reserve on
hand, to be sent for relief of those
less fortunate countries devastated
by war or disaster, Huge reserve
supplies are kept by International
Red Cross at all times. He empha-
sized too, the fact that all work is
done voluntarily and when we say
the material cost say $15,000 the
actual cost of finished sewing has a
much higher value,
The ladies of the community,
through the key women bad been
approached, where possible before
this meeting and approval was given
for the work committee to continue
in the usual way during this winter,
Prior to the election of officers, the
president twd of the effort the exe-
cutive have to secure officers for the
society, Both the president and re-
cording secretary have served in

she urged that each member share

quota. 350 Branches in Ontario are
asked to make 12,500 layettes alone,
as well as other garments and knit-
ted articles. Quilts are needed, the
Branch will supply the linings, batts
and thread.
The President on taking office,
again thanked her executive for their
very loyal support during the year.
She stated that the attendance at
our Annual Meeting fails to bespeak
the interest shown by the 240 mem-
bers who make up the branch here
at Gorrie, and felt if we all do our
small share, that Gorrie and district
branch will keep the reputation of
being what it has been; always to
the fore where loyalty and help is
required. We draw our • greatest sat-
isfaction in life in making others
happy. Red Cross in Cariada must
collect $5,310,600 in 1953, Ontario
share being approximately $2,500,000.
We here in Gorrie are asked for $600.
The work of Red Cross .is inter-
national as well as national and local.
Just as Canada ranks high among
the nations of the world, so does our
Canadian Red Cross. This was im-
pressively demonstrated when Inter-
national Red Cross met in Toronto
It was Mentioned that John. Stropg
