RED CROSS NOTES
The Chain of Responsibility
The life -line of Red Cross is its
Branches. Those who serve, under
the banner of Red Cross are pledged
to a common ideal.
"To all volunteer workers, it must
be a source of keen satisfaction to
know that through the work of their
hands and -the generosity of their
hearts, Canadian Red Cross supplies
brought comfort and relieved suffer.
our own Ing among and allied forces
and civilian war 'victims in many
parts of the world in 1943."
This is a paragraph from the mess-
age which Mr. Jackson Dodds chair-
man of the Central council of the
Canadian Red Gross, addressed to
volunteer workers in the first page
of the' annual report of the society
for 1943.
"To these many friends I extend
sincere appreciation for their con-
tinued and whole hearted support
which has not only made this work
possible in the past, but given us con-
fidence to face the critical days which
lie ahead."
We want to again remind all of
you of the date for Clinton's next
Blood Donor Clinic — TUESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 5th. Almost every
day one reads in tite newspapers
about some returned span telling how
plasma SAVED HIS LIFE or the
life -of a comrade. Major George
Edwards of Galt writes, "I eau see
the great part plasma plays in.bring-
ing fellows around. Yesterday they
brought in a man I thought would
die but after plenty of plasma he is
well as can be expected, althon'gh he
lost a foot," Lieut. Donald Todd, who
was severely wounded in Normandy
in a letter from an emergency Brit-
ish base hospital in France, 'writes,
"When I was wounded they 'poured'
blood plasma into nue which I believe
was instrumental in saving my life."
Need we say more than quote
from these letters other than, "Keep
your appointment for -Sept. 5th" If
you haven't one get, it by calling Mr.
M. T. Corless, Mr. A. J. McMurray,
Mr. Diek .Jacobs or Mrs. G. A. Miller

• Clinton's Pied Piper
Once upon .a time Hamelin had a
Pied Piper but Clinton has an inven:-
ive citizen by name of Russell Jervis.
His Feed Store appeared to be the
Mecca of many of the town rats.
Their 'theiving habits and general
undesired presence prompted Mr.
Jervis to devise and construct a stur-
dy.rat trap. The trap was success-
ful in catching thirty rata last week.
In addition to destroying valuable
goo -ds and 'property rats frequently
Carry disease germs. Every rat de-
stroyed means that the threat of in-
fection is lessened. Other commercial
concerns s in Clinton are ready
to
bor-
row
