RED CROSS NOTES Work on the wartime scale of the Red Croe4 takes a lot of money. This money has to come from gifts and donations of every description from Canadians. This year it hasto cover work en a much extended scale. For example; currently the Canadian Red Cross is sending. 40,000led parcels overseas every week, `0upplying the Wham, soldiers, airmen 'and civilians of Canada and her Allies who are prisoners of war. This year the Bri- tish Red Cross has asked Canada to boost this to a total of 80,000 parcels a week for prisoners in Europe 'alone. In addition, every ef- fort is to be made to send parcels to prisoners in the Far East: .Altogeth- er, the Canadian Red, Cross has bud - getted' for $3.5 ;millions in 1942 for LITTLE LOC this one need. Take another example, early last year, the Canadian Red Gross was asked by the Dominion Government to undertake of ganization . of blood donor clinics aceoss Canada. The objective was to, provide 2000 dona- tions of blood weekly. By the end of the year ,this service was getting well organized; and about 1700 blood donations .were being received each week, Now for 1942 the request has come to increase this to 3000 donations each week. All these are only a few of the rea- sons why the Red Cross is going to ask Canadians for $9 millions in a nation-wide drive to be launched next month.

Sunday School Anniversary Observed In Ontario Street United church the Sunday school anniversary was ob- served last sunday, and the guest speaker was W. A. Diehl, Y.M.C.A, supervisor at the Radio School He stressed the necessity of per- sonal sacrifice at this time, needed now perhaps more than at any time in our country's history. He also re- ferred to the happy circumstances in which the children of Canada are placed in contrast with those of, the war -ridden countries• of Efirope and Asia, and said that thankfulness should be shown in sacrifice of time, of pleasures and of our means. He also urged keeping the boys in the service well remembered in letters and comforts from home, } The superintendant, W. Walker, conducted the service. Musical num- bees were: solo, Lois Kearns, and duet, 011ie Lou Thompson and Cor - llama Wendell. At the morning service the choir was (composed of young people of the Sunday school For the evening the guest speaker was Rev. Reba Hearn, of Varna, United church, the only ordained woman minister in the Lon- don Conference. As an appropriate supplement to her service the choir was composed entirely of senior and junior ladies. A special number was a duet by Lois Kearns and Florence' Aiken. V` Surprised 'On Birthday Mies Shirley Silver daughter of Rev. Sad Mrs. A. E, Silver, was, delightfully stuprised Tuesday evening when a number of her girl' friends gathered at her home, the occasion being her birthday.

Hockey Dance Successful' Affair The dance.:, sponsored by the Inter- mediate Hockey Club which was held last Friday evening in the town hall, was as expected a successful occasion, both in patronage .and. proceeds. Many townspeople, oat of town fans and a goodly number of the boys in uniform, were present. The R.A,F. Radio School orchestra with the kind peinniseion of Wing Commander Cocks, provided the music. A draw was made later in the even- ing for boxes of chocolates, the win- ners.being Misses Lucy Ellwood, Lois Ferguson, L.

A timely warning has been issued that motorist would be well advisee, to carry their gasoline ration books on their person at all times, and not leave them in the ear or at home, be- cause they are liable to run into plenty of trouble. The Town of Clinton had a ver- itable invasion of inspectors for the War Time Prices and: Trade Board last Tuesday. Two were checking up. on gasoline stores, two on rubber tires and one on sugar. To use a hackneyed expression, they were the talk of the town. v The local salvage committee will make a thorough collection here next Saturday, April 25th, commencing at 9 am.
