Routiedge PHONE 166 To Appeal For Red Cross Notes $, At0f 6 000.Seaor 'th 0 Nation -Wide Red Cross Cam- paign To Commence On May 11th. The Seaforth branch quota in the forthcoming Red Crosscampaign will be $6,000. This was announced in a letter received by the secretary Mrs, R. W. Kerslake, which reads as follows: "As you already know, the cern- paign for $9,000,000 across Canada will commence May llth. Of this amount the Ontario Division objec- tive has been set at $4,500,000. The Ontario Executive, after careful con- sideration, has set your Branch quota at $6,000.00, The time before ethe opening date is short and .the success or failure of the campaign will depend upon the thoroughness with which each individual Branch area is canvassed. "'The higher objective of the Na- tional Office and your Branch is nec- essitated by the steadily increasing need for Prisoner of War parcels. At the time of the last appeal -prep- ! arations were under way to pack 5,000 `parcels weekly, and today, with the lack of food in Britain, the Society is packing 40,000 parcels weekly. While the Society is only asked to pay for 28,000 the cost of these will be approximately $3,150,- 000 during the year, plus a budget of $400,000 which has been set up to supply Canadian prisoners in � Hong Kong and the Far East as soon as it is possible to ship food to them. It is expected that total shipments of Prisoner of War parcels will have to greatly increase over these figures as time goes on. "Also since the 1940 appeal, the Society has inaugurated Blood Don- or Clinics throughout the Province and these must be greatly augment- ed en t- ed as money and facilities become Iavailable. `Remember, your Branch object- ' ive is the absolute minimum to be raised, since the Society's work is constantly expanding. Yours sin- cerely, Gladys E. Campbell." at'.blue��eoal' 1: TRE SOLID FUEL FOR: SOLID COMFORT E. L. BOX PHONE 43 FORMER TUCKERSMITH RESIDENT PASSES Mrs. John G.

There is one brother, Leon- ard, at home, and two sisters (Flor- ence) Mrs. Knox Williams, Clinton, and Fern, at home. There is great difficulty in secur- ing wool for knitting requirements, so a definite knitting programme has. been made out by divisional head- quarters and passed on to the branches. It is emphasized that no articles other than those listed in the quota ase to be made from Bed Cross wool. But donations of articles such as scarves made from wool se- cured from outside the Red Cross will be accepted gratefully. There is a call to have our quotas for, British Civilian sewing and Hos- pital supplies completed quicker. They hang on for lack of sewers. Parcels are ready to be called for. Come to the work room on Friday; offer your'services and find out what you can do to help. The Branch is sending $500 to the Prisoners of War Fund. This is made possible by the generous donations handed in from time to time. Sup- plies of food go regularly to prison- ers at a tremendous cost.
