Our work it becoming ever more important and our society is increasing its efforts. Come to this meeting and be a Booster. Our Privilege and Duty We have the assurance of the Al- lied military leaders and statesmen that this war is far from won. That even- though we may be on the road to victory in • Europe our efforts must not be slackened now because even if peace comes on the Continent the war in the Pacific, which will involve our forces, still has a long way to go. .As yon know the enemy has adopted a "scorched earth policy" that is complete in inthles-ness• and qestruction, with the result that mil- lions of people in the freed countries are destitute, their homes and fac- tories nothing but Masses of wreck- age. This means that even if the war ended tomorrow it would be neces- sary for the Canadian Red Cross to continue to send -vast quantities of Supplies of clothing, comforts, drugs and ,other necessities of life for years to come to relieve the acute distress left in the wake of war. While hostilities contiime, our supplies have grown to be- of para- mount importance to our men in the field, the wounded in hospitals and the prisoners of war. We in the Red Cross must make very sure that sufficient supplies are available on all battlefronts . at all times . and in large enough amounts. That is our privilege ... and our duty.

V Christmas in A Canadian General Hospital The following letter • describing Christmas in a Canadian General Hospital in England 'was sent by Nursing Sister Margaret Middleton to her parents. . Dear Folks: Happy New Year Wall, here's hoping I will be home. :before' next one comes elong. Well Christmas is over and I think we all had a very _nice one under present conditions. We worked so hard, making it a good one for the boys in hospital that we completely forgot ourselves which was a good thing. Right•Mow we are all so tired we can hardly keep going. We decorated each ,,,'ward with belly which is very .plentiful and lovely ,over here. We saved all cellophane and silver paper for past 1 months and were able to make icic- les for the ;trees: alsa'' cellophane Wrkailassmittisir ;•bitThf.'14, and »holly tied on them We had tome'red and green streamers' which we put up. The occupational therapy girls and Red Cross girls have worked since Nov. 1st painting Santa faces, candy sticks, stars and small 'things for the trees. Each ward had a pine tree. My boys gathered acorns from the bush, and painted them red and hung them on the trees. We also used a. Int of white cotton wool with Epsom Salts on it for snow. It is marvellous what you 'can do when yon try. AMONG THE CHURCHES Photography, Photos, taken indoors or out, night or day, or at your borne. Enlarging and tinting done by a Professional, J, B.

We did up 90 small gifts. The'n there' were 16 hoys who had never received » parcels since coming overseas and we packed a box for each of them. There are only ten nursing. sisters on our ward so we thought we did very well. Then. the Red Cross gave »each patient in hospital one pair of socks and a handkerehief, one package cigarettee, shaving. eream, candy and a pencil Which' certainly. meant a lot to the boy,s.

We had 'our dinner Christ- mas eve, in order that we might spend all day Christmas. in the wards with the boys), Our dinner was just the same as the one the patients had next day.
