Helpful Hints
Used flashcubes make
ideal stoplights for your
child's truck and car fun.
Insert small dowelling or
something similar into
the bottom of the cube
and stick it into a square
wad of modeling clay. Cut
circles for lights out of
red and green contact
paper.
Erect those stoplights
on a homemade village.
On a 3' x 4' sheet of
plywood make a map of
the neighborhood,
naming streets,
buildings, and land-
marks. Letter the streets,
etc., and it will also serve
as an educational toy.
This might be a good idea
for nursery schools and
kindergartens.
Turn an old squeaky
rubber toy into a puppet.
Cut them off at the neck
and glue or sew on a piece
of gathered material.

World Red Cross Day set
"There When It Hurts"
is the theme of World Red
Cross Day, May 8.
On thi,s day, 125 Red
Cross, Red Crescent and
Red Lion and Sun
Societies around the
world will be celebrating
the anniversary of the
birth of Henry Dunant,
founder of the Society.
Red Crescent Societies
operate in Moslem
countries and the Red
Lion and Sun is the sister
society in Iran.
Henrik Beer, Secretary
General of the League of
_Red Cross Societies,
emphasises the role of
Red Cross as that of
unconditional help -- in
emergencies, in the midst
of hostilities, or in less
dramatic circumstances
on a day to day basis -- a
helping hand extended to
all those in need of
comfort.
During the past year,
Red Cross bias been in-
volved in dozens of
countries, assisting with
people and funds. The
appr'opriate national
societies have been
particularly active, in the
case of handling refugees
in Malaysia, and the
200,000 refugees
presently housed in Red
Cross camps in
Bangladesh. In recent
months a great deal of
emphasis has been
placed on developing
strong and prepared Red
Cross Societies in Africa.
Heavy demands have
been placed on the
Society's financial
resources, and an even
greater toll has been
taken of Red Cross
personnel. Three were
shot during the
Nicaraguan in-
surrections, and three
during a regular mission
in Rhodesia. Two of these
latter were delegates
from the International
Committee of the Red
Cross, assigned to
Rhodesia by
headquarters in Geneva.
There are two
Canadian delegates .
presently working on
inteTational missions. '
David Jenkins,
Assistant Commissioner
of the B.C. Yukon
Division of the Canadian
Red Cross Society is
serving his seventh tour
of duty in Bangladesh,
where he is working in
the refugee camps.
Paul Miki, on special
assignment from Ontario
Red Cross, is part of a
special team assigned to
assist in developing the
various national Red
Cross Societies in
Southern Africa. He is
based in Lusaka.
"We have a com-
mitment to the in-
ternational work of Red
Cross," says Ontario
Division President
Christopher Paterson.
"No matter what level of
the Society we are in-
volved at, no matter
where our day to day
interests lie, every Red
Cross volunteer is a
participant in this
international
organization
