On Thinsday, Jan. 7th at 8 o'clock the Anual Meeting will be held in the Council Chamber. Donations, 0. R. Dale $2.00, Consider the gigantic task done by the Canadian Red Cross and honour that vast army of women workers who have given one of the biggest contributions to the total strength of Red Cross. We cannot attempt a review of their work or a detailed `account of the re- sults but one staggering sum indi- cates the industry faithfulness and number of these women. Since the outbreak of war 17 million articles have been shipped overseas from Can- ada. These articles include civilian clothing bedding, hospital supplies. and woollen comforts for men and women in the armed forces. Seventeen million articles -a most impressive figure, one that bespeaks an =bounding determination to do a job that must be done, and one which adds up to a high notion of what women can really do when they be- lieve in what they are doing. Such is the standard set by the women of Red Cross, We are confi- dent that they will adhere to it faith- fully. Proud of the opportunities of- fered to . serve, and willing to ac- cept the responsibilities, these we. men pledge their full resources to the Society. This is a tribute to a group of tire- less, capable women, who by consis- tently doing their job have set up a record unique and amazing. We don't know how they did it. We do know they have not lost a minute. We do know that day by day they have gone on working steadily. And so with con - scions pride in, a great humanitarian accomplishment, we give credit to the hundreds of thousands of women workers in the Canadian Red Cross. Evening Auxiliary Tirebusiness meeting of the Even- ing Auxiliary will be held en Mon- day January 4th, at 8 p.m. in the Ag rieulture Board teems.
