WAS READY As one of the first war correspo dente to reach Hawaii after Peal Harbor Sunday, I wag struck by on bright spot in all that tragedy. The Red Grose had been ready. I dead thinking of how much worse the con- fusion and suffering would have been if Red Cross workers hadn't been right on the job, organized for instant action: ' Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Keith McPhail Me - Lean, Seeforth, announce the engage- ment of their daughter, Helen Louise, to Mr. James Hubert Grant, of To- n- ionto, son of Mrs. Grant and the late .1 John Donald. Grant, London Ont., the e, marriage to take place in Seaforth early in May. "Neighbourly News":At New Time ti Yeti. "Neighbourly News" reporter, Andy Clarke, now enjoys! the benefit e of an extra hour's precious sleep. on Sundays. And in case you, too, have trouble in getting ups so early week- ends, the CEO has now aa -ranged for "Neighbourly News" to be heard at a new ime, 10,05 a.m. EDT, Sundays, right after the CSC 5 -minute: World News Summary. We now know 'officially that th U.S. armed forces were not .on the alert on that lazy Sunday morning- . Most of Hawaii's civilian organiza- tions wereafflicted with the same complacency. But within a few minutes after the first Jap bombs rained down on Pearl Harbor, Red Cross workers manned their prearranged posts. Many Red Cross volunteers were wives of offic- ers and men, stationed at the air fields and naval base. They did not know what fate awaited their loved ones but they did net stand idly by. Jap planes strafed their ears on the road as they drove to their stations'. From its emergency kitchens, the Red Cross promptly supplied; food to rescue workers. Bombed out fam- ilies were supplied with lodging, clothing and blankets, as well es food. Emergency 'stores of medical supplies and surgical dressings were rushed to hospitals and tc schools which had been turned into temporary hospitals. Doctors struggling furiously to save the lives of soldiers and sail'ois blasted and burned in the attack soon used up the Red Gross reserve of blood plasma. The Red Cross issued a call for volunteer donors, and, its workers gave their own blood until sufficient donors could be brought in. In all 10,000 volunteers gave their pint of blood at the rate of 50 per l our i . 13y 3 a.m. on Dec, 8th, the Red Cross Motor Colds driving in a bla.ek+ out blacker than London's, and risk- ing shots from jittery Territorial road guards, had removed, 3000 re- fuges from the danger areas around Pearl Harbor and the air fields. Marty of the Red Cross's volunteer workers stayed at their posts for ten clays with little sleep. Red Cross in- fermat on, centres were promplty or- ganized to help anxious service mien seeking the whereabouts' of their families from whom they had be- come separated during the bombing, At Pearl Harbor, tbe Red Cross was ready for this extraordinary em- ergency because it always stands ready—everywhere. Donations: London Road Club, $5; Proceeds from. Mrs, Jacob's raffle $75; Miss L. Bennett, Brantford, $5. v Inspection of C.C.T. Cadets Major W, L.
