Stretch Farther
£1
® Toiling daily in selfless devotion, Canadian
women labor to make YOUR Red Cross dollars
stretch farther, .
They sew and knit garments, pack food and
supplies, fill precious boxes for our boys in
enemy prisons.
Since the war began, Red Cross "Blue Smock"
workers have made millions of articles from
approved patterns, packed millions of cases, for
fighter and civilian comfort and relief.
Other volunteer women, specially trained, drive
cars, trucks, ambulances, help as nurses and
nursing aides, office workers and dietitians. Hun-
dreds of doctors, too, give their time freely to
help relieve human suffering.
The 857,000 members of the Junior Red Cross
also, are doing work of untold value.
These volunteers make YOUR Red Cross dollars
go farther for material, food, medical supplies,
preparation of blood serum, for our fighters and
war victims on the world's war fronts.
This must go on. As the war expands, intensifies,
the need grows. Never was the need for YOUR
dollars so great.
