Welcome Visitor -Taken from the
January issue of the Red Cross Des-
patcb:
The Home Office of the Canadian
Red Cross welcomes many visitors,
but Sometimes there is one who is
so outstanding that we welcome him
with special enthusiasm. This was
the case recently when a sailor who
had been a member of the crew of a'
British steamer torpedoed on the'
Atlantic came in to thank the 'Wo-
men's National Work Committee for
the wonderful warm clothing and
comforts supplied to his ship's Drew
from the Red Cross. His ship had
sailed from an Eastern Canadian'
port, and had been thoroughly sup-.
plied with warm clothing by the Red
Cross representatives there, and now
he came to the Society's Headquart-
ers at the request of his shipmates,
to express their gratitude, and his
own, for what the Red Cross had
done for them.
