tretch Farther
• 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.

The RED CROSS is
a link between
him and home!
Just imagine what it would be like if
there were no Red Cross. In times of war
there would be no way of knowing what
had happened to men missing in battle
.. no Way. of telling men in
enemy prison camps that
they were remembered by
loved ones at home.
'So that there will be no "forgotten
men" among Canadians captured by the
enemy, the Canadian Red Cross ships
thousands of parcels overseas every
week. Each parcel contains nourishing
food and tasty comforts needed by men
to whom the barest necessities have
become luxuries. These messengers from
"home" relieve the loneliness, the con-
finement, the monotony of prison camp
routine Each parcel costs $2.50
more than ever are needed this year.
How many will you send?
