The Red Cross
Needs Your Support
Wingham Canadian Legion
Is Helping to Secure It
BECAUSE—Countless millions all over the
world—in our country as well as in other lands—must
rely on the services of Red Cross when disaster strik=
es...
BECAUSE—We who have served our country
in the far places of the earth know from experience that
the hand of mercy is always extended to those who
need it without prejudice of race or creed ...
BECAUSE—We know that there is no better
way in which we in Canada can serve humanity ...
THE WINGHAM CANADIAN LEGION
members will call at your home next week to ask for
your contribution to the annual Red Cross campaign
for funds.
Specific projects in which the Red Cross is en=
gaged, and which are of vital interest to people in
Wingham are the Westminster Hospital for war veter=
ans at London, where many of our boys have received
treatment; the replacement and supply of vital mater=
ials , for the flood victims in Europe and the continuing
work on the battle front in Korea.
Any one of these works of mercy would pro.
vide ample reason for your generous support.
There are many agencies at work in the world
today which assist in the alleviation of human suffer-
ing—BUT the Red Cross is the only one which has the
complete international organization to handle emer.
gencies no matter where they arise, without delay and
waste.
(It you reside in areas other than. Wingham—or if
your home is missed by the canvassers—please leave
donations at the Dominion Bank.)
