And rightly so for their task is not an easy one. Their right to wear the uni- form has been earned by hard work and study in such things as first aid, motor mechanics, home nursing, driving and func- tions allied with civil defence.. At the end of it all they pur- chase their uniforms out of their personal savings, The Red Cross Corps gives assistance to veterans, shutins, paraplegics, the blind, senior citizens and many others. They carry the friendly and encourag- ing symbol of the Red Cross wherever they go and help to inspire confidence in those who need the kind of service the Corps gives them. There are 21 detachments of the Red Cross Corps in Canada. They are all active at local and regional blood donor clinics giving assistance where it is needed. Each detachment, through its disaster training, is ready to respond at any moment in time of emergency. The activities of the Corps continue to increase year after year. Additional training pre- pares its members for more ef- ficient service in all functions of Red. Cross. Your donation to the Red Cross this year will help in the training of more volunteers for membership in the Corps. It will help the Red Cross to do more for those in need and thus give the service that you your- self would give if you were there. Be generous when the Red Cross volunteer canvasser calls at your door. This year the Red Cross commemorates a century of ser- vice, ervice, working for mankind from 1863 to 1963.
