Mrs. Taylor revi Red Cross Soc. pro GORRIFp--Mrs. Alex Taylarcom- piled a review of the weak done by the Red Cross Society in; 1968 for' a report to the Gorriebranch of the society. The report, in part, is as follows: Red Cross is nota purely lo- cal organization, It is national and international in scope and unless small branches, raise their thinking about the society to broader levels they are not Red Cross minded at all, Red' Cross is not a local charity al- though the sole source of oiler - ating funds it at the local level. The national president, in his report states: "Our finan- cial goal was raised. for the fifth successive year. We kept with- in our budget but our quotas are up. National needs are greater than ever with war and distress in so many areas of the world. So roll up your sleeves and work harder if the Society is to con- tinue to provide all the services which have been traditionally those of Red Cross. " He commended the blood donors of Canada for another record year --919, 760 untis of blood were donated at R e d Cross clinics in all ten provin- ces. A report of 1967 was bound to refer to the centenary that was so widely celebrated in Ca- nada. World Red Cross .Day at Expo 67 was celebrated May 8 and chose the theme, "Inter - national Understanding among Youth". The Women's Work Com- mittee had another centennial project, that of producing 10, - 000 layettes for their interna- tional assistance program. As layettes came in, not only -did they get 10,000, they produced 15,365 at a value of over $1.50,- Brownies 1.50,- Brownies meet FORD WICH-- Tuesda y: even- ing of last week was a very special occasion for the 1st Ford- wich Brownie Pack.

They undertook to recruit 100,000 new blood don, - ors and it is clear that 1967 was the year Canadian people be— came blood donors in very large numbers from coast to coast. The value of the Blood Transfusions Service isdemonstatait- ed by. the lives saved, the res- toration of health to thousands of Canadians and the annual saving of millions of dollars for men, women and children requiring transfusions. Ussery - ice is available free to hospit* als, medical practitioners and public health authorities 10 Ca- nada. Although blood is the gift of voluntary donors, Red Cross must spend considerable money on the many expeeses pertinent to the collection and eventual distribution of the whole blood and blood products., On the technical side there are expen- ses forlaboratories, surgical and nursing supplies, testing area laundry, clinic supplies, re- frigeration equipment, opera- tion of the national reference laboratory in Toronto and 16 de- pots from coast to coast. Lon- don is the depot for W. Ontario. The rare blood bank Nation- al Defence Medical Centre in Ottawa has been described as., unique by many world experts in that field. The arts and crafts program provides helpful therapy for veterans in hospitals. Their skills are evident from the fact that they won 315 prizes in , ex- hibition across the country . 189,482 art and craf t• lessons were taught by volunteers. There are eight lodges hi oper- ation. .Hospital volunteers con- tinue to visit and bring great relief from boredom among the patients. , Sickroom Loan Cupboards continue to supply a great need. Home nursing. courses continue. Ontario alone has 34 Outpost Hospitals and Nursing Stations in scattered areas. In addition to their many duties nurses con- tinue to teach home nursing and give health talks at schools and meetings. They made over 11,- -000 home visits, and attended to 27,000 outpatients who came to the station, and had 39,990 collective hospital days in. the 34 units. Homemaking services are an important factor in the preven- tion of family breakdown, child, neglect and social neglect, par- ticularly in the care of the aged,_ Had it been necessary to pay for time and space that was given so generously by the press, radio and TV the cost would • 1. have 1 tR �3„ 000„ 00 it IC a, magnificent d ► it WAS it amounted to 000 .for campaign expenses, 1t w ii year o'' different activities in the Utter- tfe field' The ottt.Stande thg'.rel of actjon . are, of coots; the Middle East War and -the Vietnam Wars.

Over 80,000 people, young and old, received awards. A survival swimming course which fits be: tween Junior and Intermediate levels is now being well accept- ed by bothurban and rural communities.
