RED CROSS NOTES
I tris. Colerick, Liasion Officer for
the Y,W.C.A. Hostess, House will
speak :to the women of Clinton on
this very necessary work, on Thurs-
day afternoon, April 16th, at three
o'clock in, the Council Chamber.
The Government of Canada re-
cently arranged to supply the funds
needed by various war service organ-
izations; but the Canadian Red Cross.
Society was necessarily excluded
from that arrangement. The reason
foe this is that the Red Cross Soeiety
is international, its position rests up-
on the conventions of Geneva ratified
by Act of Parliament. These require
the Red Cross Society to be supported
by voluntary subscription, and it is
only, by maintaining such support
that the Canadian Red Cross Sudety

and immunities' guaranteed under in-

Red Cross Society; to do so would be
to destroy the international status of
the society and even wipe out its im-

red to Hare iston. He was with the
Company in Hanriston for 13 years'
before being removed again to Clin-
