The theatre is a fairly large build- ing, and finished in such a way that, it may conveniently be used for var- ious activities. There are seating ac- eornmod'ations for around four ham-' dred. The stage and dressing rooms are 'well arranged and complete in ev- ery detail. The constructign work in,. connection with the stage and dressing rooms was done by the engineers at the school. The completed work re- veals the skill and artistic talent"of the officers and men. The curtains are a soft shade of red, and are hung conveniently for what- ever purpose they may be needed. The stage presentation was Alf. •Tibb's "1942 Revue," with orchestra, from London, and was well received by the audience. The program con- sisted of singing- ,dancing and comedy skits. Mr. Tibbs as master of cere- monies, kept the show' moving along at the right pace. The orchestra ac- companient was splendid, and all in, all, it was a grand evening's enter- tainment.

A very good time was enjoyed by all. v RED CROSS NOTES Russian Relief The Canadian Red Cross Society, at the request of the Dominion govern- ment, is asking the Canadian people for a half -million dollars to be used for medical supplies and relief for our allies, the Russians. On Russian soil today the bloodiest Waly in" all' his- tory is raging. Russia with brave de- termination is withstanding blo'tvs which would otherwise be directed at Britain and her Dominions. The least we can do is to send quickly, while they can do most good, a great :flood of Hospital Equipment, Surgical (,dressings, Medical supplies and warm clothing. The terrible Russian winter is already closing in and many thous- ands of sick and wounded. soldiers are suffering for lack of adequate care. iHundr•eds. of thousands of civilians are 'homeles's--destitute-facing sickness for death. Help must be sent now. And so the Canadian Red Cross Soc- iety asks every Canadian to face the issue squarely and give generously to this worthwhile cause. 1 The local branch has started off the fund with a donation of 5200.00. Further donations from individual or !organizations will be most gratefully received. !Blanket Fund 1 Donations: Mrs. Hugh Miller $1.00; Mrs. M. T. Corless $2.00. $150.00 have been sent forward to Toronto for blanketr, $82.00 of this being 1donated by individuals and the re- mainder by ore.' local branch.

Present; Trustees " Ask An Airman Christmas hospitality for "our thousands of airmen from every far corner of the Globe" was asked today by the R.O.A.F. in launch- ing a Canada wide "Ask an Airman campaign." "It niay seem too early for Christmas, or New Year's Eve dinner plans," an official statement said, "but if invitations can be arranged now, the boys from Australia, New Zealand and other distant lands can write home the news that they will spend their Christmas or New Year's Eve, as it should be spent -in a family circle. You can imagine how welcome that news will be at the Holiday Seasen to mothers and fathers, wives and sweethearts, so many thousands of miles away. Plans for the campaign are being formulated by Auxiliary Service Officers at No. 1 Training Command Headquarters in Toronto and at Stations of the fax -flung British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and the affiliated Royal Air Force Training Schools located throughout the Province. Where Citizen's Committees exist they are being asked to co-operate and at other points an effo: t will be made to form special committees for the purpose. Meanwhile, however, all Canadian families are being asked to do what they can to help Airmen who may be fax from home to get something of a family Christmas. Home hospitality will be sought not only for airmen from the United Kingdom ,the Sister Dominions, the United States and other countries, but also for Canadians at Stations far from their homes. Canadians will realize that many of these boys cannot possibly go home during their brief Christmas leave, "As many of the Airmen probably do not know their way around the eity very well, it would help them a great deal if their prospec- tive hosts could arrange to pick them up at the Station and take them back at night," a R.C.A.F'. spokesman said. "This is one way iu.which all Canadians can do a very great deal to help our airmen training at this Christmas time" the spokesman commented. Anyone Wishing to entertain one or more airmen are asked to get in touch with Mr. W. A, Diehl, the National War Services Re- presentative at No, 31 Radio School, Clinton. itmtwommeeealotep Clinton Woman Joins 1 MILITARY NEWS 1 Mrs. David Steep has received a let- ter from her son, Cpl.
