NOV.21, 1940 RED CROSS NEWS "How did you know I was a Can adieu, and in hospital?" wrote a Vancouver airman to the Canadian Red Cross recently. "It beats me," he continued, "and as I should like to find out, I ani sending a stamped addressed envelope," His was one of the hundreds of letters received, at Canadian Red Cross headquarters' in London expres- sing the thanks of the men of the Canadian forces now in Englaced for the Bare given them. The Vancouver lad's letter began, "Thanking you for the very kind gifts and the thought that lies behind the Canadian Red Gross. I was especially interested in the Vancouver paper, straight from any old town." The letter ended, "With best wishes, and God bless the Red Cross." A report received at Toronto head- quarters of the Canadian Red Cross this week stated that : Canadian' sol- diers in England are "completely sur- prised at the speedy appearance of a Red Cross 'visitor." The secret of this speediness is the up-to-date card index of the Canadian Red Cross and also the fact that Hospital Visitors are stationed at hospitals all over Britain. As soon as a Canadian is admitted, the Visitor contacts him and sends a report of his needs to London headquarters. A parcel is despatched immediately. The Hospital Visitor gives the patient the same attention he would receive if he were in hospital in Canada and near his relatives and friends. Supplies shipped from Canada by the Red Cross are being distributed every day to air-raid victims, in Brit- ain, but at the same time,'good care is being taken of the men of the Canadian forces in England. When the men need woollen comforts and other supplies they approach the Commanding Officer and he, in turn, requests the Canadian Red Cross in England for supplies. One letter received from the Offi- cer Commanding a famous Canadian unit now in England said, "I wish to thank the Canadian Red Cross most sincerely for the articles sup- plied to the hospital, and also the comforts for the men, all of which reached us in good orrice." The Officer -Commanding a Canad- ian Base Depot of Medical Stores, wrote, "Your prompt service to my request for the Red Cross comforts is very much appreciated. These articles, including sweater, pyjamas, socks, mittens, scarves, wristlets and balaclava helmets, are most useful and most acceptable, and they have been issued. The personnel of this unit join one in thanking the Canad- ian Red Cross most sincerely." LONDESEORO Mr. Won. Addison las bought the house of the late .James Elsley and will take possession at once.

The regular meeting of the W.M.S. svgs held on Thursday last in. the school room of the church, with the paesiclont, Mrs. J. P. Mammeg presid- ing. After the singing of a hynnt and the daily prayer, the minutes and correspondence were read by the sec- retary, Mrs. E. Wood. The roll was called and responded to by a verse of scripture with "work" in it. There was some discussion on entertaining the soldiers at Sky Harbor at an early date, a committee being ape pointed to arrange for same. A com- mittee was also appointed to bring in a slate of officers for the coming year. All officers are asked to have their reports ready for next meeting and all monies, if possible also in or- der, the books to be balanced for the year. The word for the next roll call for December meeting is "Remem- ber." One pleasant .feature of the meeting• was the presentation of a "Life Certificate" to Mrs. Lillie Web- ster by the No. 1 Group of which she was a valued member. Miss Bina Kirk read the address. Mrs. Margaret Manning presented the certificate. Mrs. Webster thanked the group in a few words. This concluded the first part of the meeting and Group No. 3 took charge with Mrs. Wm.

COLOR-BLIND PLIERS CAN SPOT MOST CAMOUFLAGED HIDING PLACES Color-blfndedness is a defect which disqualifies applicants for a variety of jobs such as engine -drivers and taxi drivers but it may prove of use in war. Color-blind airmen have proved they can detect camouflaged guns that normal eyes cannot see. It may be that a type of camouflage de- signed to deceive the color-blind will have to be used to hide guns, am- munitinn depots, hangars 'and other strategic material front them. One person out of every 55 carrot tell red from green, and one in 50 confuses green and brown. Very rare are the totally color-blind to whom the world appears like a photograph in black and white. The pastel shade color-blind. much more prevalent among Wren than women; cannot dis- tinguish between the lighter shades of pink and yellow and blue and green. Color-blindedness is sometimes cal- led "Daltbnisnn" because, although it was known for centuries, the first to study the subject was John Dalton, the famous chemist, who in 1794 pub- lished•an account of his own case and analyzed its peculiarities. For days be went about in his scarlet gown of a Doctor of Civil Laws at Oxford happily unconscious of its 'effect on those around him. And when asked what color gown he thought the was wearing, he pointed to an evergreen.

There are left also his four sisters: Helen, of the Dept. of National Defence, London; Esther, teacher at S.S. No. 8 Goderich; Grace, nurse -in -training, Goderich; Maude at home. For tine first time since it left in April his ship came to G:odericlt at Thanksgiving, and he enjoyed a com- pletely happy day with his family. They had also seen him early in July when they motored to Thorold where his ship was at anchor. Grace had been unable to be present at either time. Among the mourners were his father's sister, Mrs. N. W. Trewartha, Clinton; Mrs, Bert Trewartha, God- erich Township; Mrs. George McIl- wain, Godetieh Township; his moth- er's nephew, Mr. Gordon Campbell, Windsor; his aunts, Miss Elinor Mac - Math, Toronto, and Mrs. (Dr.) Eben Alexander of Knoxville, Tenn., and. his two uncles, Mr. Victor Goodwin and Mr. Douglas Goodwin of Saskat- chewan, were unable to be present. Mr. Brogden MaeMath of Holmesville who was drowned in July, was a cousin. Though his parting leaves the great ache of .loneliness, it is also the triumphant departure from a beauti- ful life lived on earth in purity and in the service of others, to the More glorious service above. "Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I • embark; For; though from out the bourne ' ' of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face, '' When I' have crossed the bar."
