By Tuesday the '4 Wednesday, February 20tH, 1949 ' Our men and women back from the world battlefields often tell how the Red Cross was there to aid and com- fort them—oftentimes to save their lives. Now the Red Cross asks those who extended such solid support during the war years, to help keep the Red Cross strong in peace. Today there are thousands of sick and disabled veterans who need the con- tinued help and friendship of the Red Cross. Isolated frontier communities need Outpost Hospitals and nursing service—their only medical aid. Crip- pled children's hospitals must be maintained and expanded. Men, women and children across Canada need the Blood Transfusion Service the Red Cross has started to supply. Will you continue to lend your help to sick and suffering humanity? The Red Cross work is your work.
