RED CROSS NOTES
The October meeting of Clinton
Red Cross Society will be held on
Monday, October 2nd. at 3 p.m, in
the Council - Chambers. All interest
ed in the work of the Red Crossare
asked to attend this meeting,
Post-war Duty of the Red Cross
Red Cross organizations must con-
tinue their expanded peacetime work
into the post-war period to assist
in world recovery. "The world is
very sick and like a sick man has to
be nursed back to health. It will be
for us who have escaped the major
disasters of war to set to work to
restore health and normalcy to the
sufferers in this great conflict."
In the post-war world, the light of
the International Red Cross which
shone so brightly from Geneva,
even under the swastika's shadow in
the dark days of 1940, must continue
to glow.. It has shone in many places
these last five years, and nowhere
more clearly than on the ships of
the Red Cross which carry over sup-
plies to the prison camps of •Europe
and as we still hope will carry them
to the campsof the Far East.
The Red Cross, founded in peace
to began instrument of service and
charity in war, has spread the
ideals and activities into all lands
and into the lives o£ many people, It
has served as a great link between
peoples of the world at a time of
stress and strain, binding all to-
gether for a great and unselfish
object and for a common purpose.
"Is it too much to hope that those
same ideas which have served us so
well in war may be carried forward
into the equally difficult times of
peace?"
Engagements Announced
M and Mrs. Henry Pickett wish
to announce the engagement of their
eldest daughter Clara Edna to Roger
John Andrews of Seaforth, son of
Mrs: John Andrews and the late Mr.
Andrews of Toronto. The marriage
will take place early in October.
