Cross Society plans local campaign Clinton and vicinity have not been asked -to contribute financially to the Red Cross for some years. The larger towns around have had a yearly appeal for funds. Clinton -has not. March is Red Cross month and a canvass is . therefore planned the last two weeks of • March. It is to be hoped the response will be a generous one. All the more so since we have not given t� this par- ticular cause for some time. During the war years., a very active Red Cross association functioned here. Hundreds of knitted gar- ments were sent to headquarters. Red Cross food parcels which our veterans know, saved them from semi starvation or worse , were provided with money raised by many activities here. After the war, -ClintonJ discontinued Red Cross work and returned to a Hospital Auxiliary association. The annual fund drive for the Red Cross in Canada continued for many years as well as an active Blood Donor clinic. The latter continues to this day, headed by the president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Legions, Mrs. Gladys East. Clinton citizens have contributed generously to this great cause. The Red Cross is everywhere, where there is a need - flood, war, fire, ear- thquake. it is first on the scene. The world would -be a sorry place without it but it cannot - do all these things without funds: Some, people are unaware ,pf the local work 'done by the Red Cross such as the teaching of water safety, serviceg for seniors, first aid courses, homemaker service, hospital and Veterans ser- vices to name but a few. Bearing all these services in mind and the fact that after a lapse of years, Clinton and area people are being given an opportunity to help this great work, let us receive the 'canvassers generously, says organizer Mrs. F. 'ingland. Clinton has never failed a good cause yet, let us see to it that it doesn't fail the Red Cross now.

Recipes were requested from members for the future Beta Sigma Phi cookbook, on dieting. They also heard a request for pledges toward the new tennis courts planned for the high school. All members decided to discontinue support to the overseas foster child and channel the money . into a local cause. Further plans were made for the upcoming spring dance, March 12, at the arena and the sorority social on* February 26. Gayle Wise presented a program of slides taken throughout Ontario and the West by local photographers. Saturday night marked the date of the successful social at Ann and Murray Adams'.
