RED CROSS NOTES
An important part of the work of
the Canadian Red Gross' Society is
furnishing comforts for the aimed
forces of the Dominion. These in
elude socks, scarfs, gloves, woollen
helmets,, and the little thing -s that go
to make life more cheerful for the
men in the armed services.
How are these articles distributed?
The Society, through its long ex-
perience in War relief wore, has found
a fair system of distribution - a syr
tem that places the comforts where
they are needed and in sufficient
quantities to fill the wants of the
men.
When a unit of the forces reaches
Britain, for example, the Overseas
Office of the Canadian Red Ceres is
advised and the commissioner immed'-
iately contacts the medical ,officer and
the quartermaster of the regiment
and gives them a requistion book
from the Society. They are told that
when they require comforts for the
men or medical supplies for the hos-
pital they have only to fill in a re-
quistioni form, send it to the Red
Cross ,and their requirements will be
met.
The Red Cross never gives ,cam, -
forts to individuals unless, they are
patients in military hospitals, and
then they are given free by the of-
ficial Red Grose visitors.
In the name of the Canadian people,
the Red Cross, as the Dominion's
greatest voluntary service; distrib-
utes its resources to victims of war
and members of the armed force's --
free.
The Red Cross Society is most
grateful for the following doations:
Mrs. Chas, Shanahan, $1; Mrs. J.
Noble, $3, and 1 pair of seeks; 1 quit,
Evening Auxiliary; 1 quilt, St. PauI's
Guild'; 1 quilt, Mrs. J. Evans; 1 crib
quilt, Miss Annie Laidlaw; Red Cross
quilt, patched and quilted by Mrs.
