WILSON, Manager 001,1,744 PAGE THREE THE RED C OSS NEEDS $91000,000 NOW! • It is only through the Canadian Red Gross Society that anybody in Canada can send food parcels to any Canadian, British, Australian or New Zealand prisoner -of -war anywhere. This is but one of the great tasks of the Canadian Red Cross; great tasks require great effort and much money. More than 40,000 prisoners -of -war food. parcel i are sent overseas by the Red Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to meet the actual need. More than a million such parcels have already been sent to prisoners -of -war. It all costs money. The Canadian Red Cross Society has not campaigned nationally for funds since October, 1940. It now asks urgently for $9,000,000 in the only national campaign for war service funds to be authorized by the Govern- ment this year. Every dollar contributed by you is wisely dealt with and economically adminis- tered. All Red Cross accounts are subject to scrutiny by the Auditor -General of Canada. The Canadian Red Cross has given enormous assistance to the injured and homeless in bombed areas in Britain. At Coventry and Hull, in devastated London, Plymouth, Bristol and Liverpool, the Canadian Red Cross was there. Millions of articles of clothing, thoes, blankets and other comforts have been distributed. Thousands of children in Britain have been made orphans by the war. The Canadian Red Cross has fed and clothed many of these homeless ones and found them shelter. The Canadian Red Cross Society maintains Enquiry Bureaus through which families in Canada obtain information regarding missing relatives. Through these Bureaus, prisoners -of -war or missing civilians are located. The work is carried on in co-opera- tion with the International Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland. The Canadian Red Cross has supplied 36 mobile kitchen units for Britain's fire fighters. These units are equipped to go into bombed areas and feed 250 workers at a time. Local Headquarters, Seaforth.

Poison Ivy May Spoil A Pleasant Holiday Every year with the advent of spring comes the oft unheeded ware- ing "Beware Poison Ivy," Experi- enced pampers Or picnickers are not caught naming and a tip may be taken from their methods. They ere careful to include in their prepara- tions for the clay a piece of good strong yellow laundry soap. The pre- caution is obvious. Although there may be no poison ivy around. at the mune time it is found throughout Canada in various guises. It may appear as a single plant or as a trailer scrambling over slumps and clumps, or as a climber covering trees to a height of 44feet or more, with a stem of several inches in diameter. It is often found in places ideal for a picnic far re- moved groin cultivation. Poison ivy is the Worst vegetable poison in North America and contact with any part of the plant, roots, stem, leaves, and flowers, may bring acute suffering. Its leaves are in bloom from April to June, end, al- though they are inconspicuous, they might attrcat children. Many reme- dies have been suggested to allay the burning and ireitation caused by the plant, but one of the simplest is im- mediate washiag of the parts affect- ed with good strong yellow laundry roap. The long-etalked leaves are dviided into three distinct leaflets, bright green on the upper side, Wee on the under. Pull information. together with recommended treatments, is given in Circular 120 on "Poison Ivy" which may be obtained free by writ- ing to the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Departmentof Agri cul to re, 01 taws. Condemn Destruction Of Wild Flowers Once again in the spring of the veer, appeals 81.0 being Math' by the vs PIOUS 1101'tielll 111%1 throughout Canada against the reck. less plucking of wild flowers. These appeals for the preservation of part 05 Canecia's netural heavily do not mean dint ne wild flower should ever be picked but they do emPhasize the necessity of a little thought on the part of the picker. Some wild flOwers should never be picked at all; others may be taken at will. Of the latter kind, like Violets and hepaticas, are the plants whose flower stein rises directly from the roots, and provided the body of the Plant Is left undisturbed, no damage will have been occasioned. In any case, tearing up a plant by the roots merely to gain a bloom is wanton destruction. Other wild flowers that should never be plucked at all are those which cannot be picked without re- moving all the foliage upon which depends the flowering of the bulbous roots for the following season's crop of flwowers. Of this species of flower is the White Trillium, the official em- blem of Ontario. Instead of plucking the White Trillium, it would be far better to transfer the entire plant to one's garden, and thus perpetuate the significance of the emblem. So the appeal goes out once more to all who have it in their power to save the wild flowers of Canada. 100 FILMS FOR RUSSIA By aeroplane and ship, news film "shorts" are going out to Russia front Britain at the rate of live a week. In the last two months alone, 64 news reels and 20 short films have been sent off, and a. programme of 24 specially prepared shorts and news reels is under way—a total of more than 100 films fol' 1942. Among those which have already left is one showing how production is kept going in Britain's aircraft and munition factories; another how convoy ships work; a third how Bri- tain's armed forces are trained. A special film, presented as "A Tale of Two Cities", was an out- standing success. It was made from "London Can Take It" and "Target for To -night" and incorporated the bombing of Moscow. Recently Soviet producers put together 20 British fihn "shorts" about the war effort and made them into two news reels of 10 films each, Special films sent to the Soviet ere now being done entirely in Russian with Russian commentaries, Among many 'Thiel 1110 leaving Britain eoon are "Pour British Airmen," based on the training and fighting of the four airmen who lately received the Order or Loath for their work in Rus - and "A House 111 London," about Lenin's house on which a commemor ative plaque was recently unveiled.
