The following article was published in the December issue or the Canad- ian Red Cross Despatch: Rett ('rase workers 111'e santetinlee saddened and discouraged by reports that our 1113111 are writing home front overseas complaining that the Iced Crass is "selling" its supplies to them. The heel Cross does not sell its supphiee: so every effort has been made to find out if any dishonest person is selling then] for personal profit; 00 far, no such person has been found and even the names of the writers of these supposed letters of eomplalnt cannot be obtained. Gunner Robert Woods, writing to his mother in Hespeler, Ontario, tells another story, He bas been a patient in our Capadian Red Cross Hospital in England for several weeks, suffer- ing from, an injury to his leg. Gunner Roberts has this to say:—"The Red Cross certainly deserves a lot of credit for what they are doing for us. They do a wonderful work. too, among the refugees who have lost their homes. Everything is gone fol' some and they are in a bad way with winter nearly on them. I used to think the Red Cross was a racket, but, believe me, I know better now. I have seen with my own eyes how their money is spent. Everything in this hospital has been supplied by then], even the beds, tables and bed clothes. The ward I am 10 was sup- plied by the Province of Quebec Red Cross and each province has its own ward. It sure is a lovely place."

A NEW "SPORT" Tho youth of Ontario are said to be enjoying the thrills of a new "sport", which requires only a suit- able mixture of icy pavements and a motor car filled with carefree young people. It may poselbly resemble a power dive. Anyway, the young people speedalong a street on an Icy pavement and, suddenly jam on. the brakes. If the driver is an expert at the sport, the ear will skid and make a beautiful IJ -turn. Everybody is happy except when the police or, as likely as not, a telephone pole or other obstruction, take a hand in the proceedings.
