Propose Boxing Day A Holiday In our opinion Boxing Day, Dee. 26th, should be made an official holi- day this year. With Christmas Day falling in the middle of the week as it does this year, this makes it very back thi ough a winding maze of "I beards',, or something of that sort. Never, in all our investigations, have we been able to find a glimmer of truth in the rambling stories of this character. - - "We do not believe that the Red Cross is a 100 per cent perfect or- ganization. But we do believe that' for the many years of its existence the Red Cross has, as a society, ad- ministered its affairs honestly and in the highest sense of trusteeship. We believe that the world without it would be a much worse place than. it is today. We believe that the sum total of its accomplishments, in peace and War, constitutes one of the great- est contributions to human welfare that the world has ever known. "Our faith may be shattered -but on the production of definite and in- controvertible proof that the Red Cross, as an organization, is guilty of malfeasance -that it has sold, as a commercial organization, the goods entrusted to it in order that those who need might be cared for - we will pay the man. or woman, who brings the original story to us the sum of one hundred dollars. "In other words, our present an- swer to anonymous letters, to malic- ious recitals is, "Put up or shut up." "And to those who are guilty of spreading false and scurrilous rum- ours we say this: That they are just as guilty of sabotage, of destruction of the national morale and faith as " Well-meaning -meant any "Fifth C olumn it. W g �o y as they may be, they are assisting nobody but the enemy. They are harming their own country - and stabbing' in the back those who de- ,pend upon the Red Gross for assist- ance w'hen.it is vitally needed." 272Pi" v'Y°gr'4 Insurance H. T.
