Never has the need been so urgent. Helping to keep up the morale of half -a -million fighting men is a gigantic task, and that is only the beginning. The Red Cross makes life more bearable for thousands of prisoners of war. Over 2,000,000 parcels were shipped to them last year—more than this number must go in 1943. Our men in British and Canadian hospitals need Red Cross comforts and heartening visits from the staff of Red Cross "visitors". Red Cross help to shipwrecked sailors is essential, thoughtful, immediate. Homeless war orphans—our own kin and those of our allies—sick and starving men add women inmany lands- millions in Russia, Greece and China and other peoples of the United Nations—need more foqd, medicine and comforts from the Red Cross. The need is world-wide; this year the cost will be greater than ever. The work must go on. Obey the dictates of your heart; open wide your purse and ,be_generous:.Remember, you are the Red 'Cross !

FORCES WIN BATTLE OF ELEMENTS Huge snowdrifts lining the Canadian Pacific Railway's right-of-way from one, end of Canada to the other stood as vic- torious monuments to the com- pany's courageous maintenance forces, train crews and other ranks, who for the better part of a month battled one of the most sustained and severe blizzards that ever played havoc with Cana- dian transportation. And they kept the lines clear. The storm attacked the com- pany's transportation facilities with blitz -like fury, piling tons of snow over its vital steel highways, sheathing its telegraph wires with ice to the thickness of a man's wrist, snapping poles, and, hurling an icy challengete Canadian Pacific forces who literally "dared Nature to do its worst". The situation would have been bad enough under normal traffic conditions. The Canadian Pacific, however, was engaged in handling theheaviest volume of traffic in its history—more than double the amount carried by. the railway in 1989. This, coupled with limita- tions on manpoyer, placed an add- ed burden on the company's re- sources. Snow -plows powered by three, sometimes four, powerful locomo- tives made almost continuous as- saults at the mountainous snow- drifts that reached particularly appalling dimensions hi Ontario and Quebec where the above scenes were photographed. Other blizzard -borne "gremlins" attack- ed the railway in the form of ice that sheathed engines, coaches, witches and rails; driving plow that reduced visibility to zero stymied turn -tables, hampered yard operations and even froze coal in the chutes. Time and again rails would be cleared only to have the track again blocked by the driving snow. With few exceptions the trains were kept moving. Passengers accepted the situation in fine spirit and were full of praise for the company's tireless personnel and their efforts to keep the lines clear. Above scenes show how the railway's powerful plows bucked the immense drifts and how the snow was loaded e onto cars for disposal. Engine crews attend loco- motive's ice -sheathed mechanism (lower left) while scene at lower right shows plow emerging vic- toriously from newly cleared cut.
