Ohairmau of the Exec. utivo, and Colonel Hodgette, Chief Commissioner Overseas of the Caned. fan Red Cross Society, who have re• cently returned from a tour of inspec• tion of the Society'e work in France and England, advising that the making and shipment of surgical pads, com- presses and wipes and roller bandages be suspended until further notice, This advice is based upon a knowledge of the large amount of supplies now in hand and of their adequacy to fill the need, and also of the very large de• mend for surgical guaze and cotton in bulk rather that in prepared dress.nge, The Executive therefore lay these recommendations before its local Branches and Auxiliaries, asking them to give up work of this character un. 111 further notice. Socks, pyjamas, shirts, dressing gowns, kit bags, coea- fort bage, housewives, hospital shirts, sheets, towels and pillow cases may bo safely made as they can be safely stored on either side the Atlantic as is convenient and will not deteriorate by keeping, as all are in demand, We rely upon the Branches receiving this notice to make this known public. ly as widely as possible through the press. In giving information to the press we would ask particularly that it should be stated that this is an cell cial no.ice issued by the Executixe of the Red Cross Society on the advice of their Overseas Commissioner and their Chairman, now in England. Owing to change of offices, the in. structions to make no more surgical dressings, and to the difficulty in ob- taining regular supplies of wool, warp and other materials, it has been decid- ed to close the Supply Department for twdmonths, from July 15th to Sep- tember 15th. As we have on hand as many orders for materials as we shall be v,ble to fill before Aug. 15th, and as the making of dressings has been discontinued, we regret that we are,unable to deal with your order just received, Surgical shirts,day ehirte and pyjam- as, ready cut, may bo obtained in quan- tities of not less than one dozen from the Howard Manufacturing Company, 443 King Street West, Toronto.

John Weiler's farm iu T'uruberry on Wednee• day afternoon proved very successful. The ladies (unlike most of the men's societies) never think of having a good time without inviting their husbands and families to partake, and this was no expeption for they not only invited their husbands but also the directors of the 'Turnberry Agricultural Society. Conveyances left the park at about 2 34 and after arriving the ladies first held their meeting and one of its inter- esting numbers was the giving of a prize to the lady malting the best but- ton hole. Miss Porcine, Powell of Wingbam was the winner, Two of the very old and honored guests were Mre. Andrew Pringle, aged 80 years and Mrs, Themes Gil- more, aged 71 years. The ladies set a long table uuder the trees and served a hearty supper to which the couples paired by means of numbered tickets. After the inner man was amply satisfied, a mixed, ladies' and gents' football match was played which was captained by I, J. 1Vright anti A, H. Wilfcrd, Probably the greatest interest cen- tered at, -the tug-of-war. The winning side was composed of Messrs I. J. Wright, John Weiler, Hugh Tucker, John Reid, John 3, Moffatt and James Robinson with Jno. Smith as captain and the side that lost consisted of Mesers Archie Aitcheeon, Elmer Hast- ings,mGeorge Cruikehenk Joe Smith, jr., W, A.

ONTARIO THE THIRD YFAR OF THF WAR calls for the organized co-opera- tion of every citizen of the Province of Ontario. ALI, must help to hasten the day of final triumph. For the sake of those who have made the Great Sacrifice, and of those now overseas or in training, every citizen must. give the best service possible. No one need feel "out of it" when the great day of Victory comes, but everyone must qualify now by sharing in the sacrifices. which the War demands. Suggestions for Organization What Organizations Should Do In many Municipalities there are already active patriotic organizations, such at Recruiting, Red Cross, Soldiers' Aid and Patriotic Fund Com. mittens. In such cases, ono of these, or, better still, a joint committee of these and the citizens generally, might undertake to co-operate with the Central Committee itce at Toronto; Where there is noactive a true r tea C tatatrVe p organization, it is suggested that ono bo formed at the earliest moment. It should be non. partisan (itt the Ir4i'e&%sense), and represent ever interest offs by ear conditions. I. Find more men for Overseas service. 2. Help in keeping our munitions plants working. to full capacity. 3. Induce every possible' worker, men and women, to serve on the farm and in other essential industries. 4. Find mgpr the coming WAR LOAN a War funds. 5.
