Red Cross - Word has been received that the Red Cross Society is able to handle all kinds of good clean used clothing for men, women and children, as well as washed woollen underwear of all sizes. This clothing is gathered and prepared for the survivors of the many torpedoings, so if you have anything that can be used in this way kindly bring it to the Red Cross rooms in the town hall. It is cold these days. We are getting a faint idea of what the winds must be like on the Atlantic. Our brave sail- ors must be finding it bitterly cold 'midst the lashing waters and biting hurricanes. With this in. mind we are asking you to search for all the old fur coats and large pieces of fur around your place. The Red Cross has made arrangements to have such articles converted into fur vests for our seamen. It is cold these days, isn't it? And it is a lot colder on the Atlantic. Don't forget it. The executive of the Red Cross met last Friday evening and made arrangements to hold the annual meeting of the local branch on Tues- day, Jan. 12th. It is hoped that at that meeting besides hearing the re- ports for 1942 there will be an ent- ertainment and information provided which will make this evening one long to be remembered. The follow- ing members are appointed as a nom- inating committee, Miss Beryl. Phaff, Miss Amy Reynolds, Dr. D. G. Steer, Messrs. W. 0. Goodwin and W. R. Davidson. It is expected that in the near future arrangements will be completely made whereby the people of Hensall and district can donate their blood through the travelling blood' donor clinic which is visiting Seaforth from time to time. A com- mittee consisting of Dr. A. R. Camp- bell, Dr. D. G. Steer and Rev. Wm. Weir has been appointed to investi- gate the matter and they will receive the names of all those who are will- ing to further the war effort, by don• ating their blood. Six more boxes of finished goods were sent on their way last week and every article will do its job somewhere, all coder the flag of mercy, the Red Cross flag. Here is what was sent: Box 1-10 quilts, 11 children's hamlets, 1 pl'. slacks, 2 blouses, 2 bed jackets, 1 dressing gown, 1 girl's jumper, 3 pr. boys pants, 6 pillow cases, Box 2-20 bed jackets, 20 sheets, 40 slings, Box 3- 15 sheets, 240 slings, 5 bed jackets. Box 4-25 sheets. Box 5-10 bed jackets. Box 6-10 bed jackets. This column would like to pay tribute to Ken Dicks for all his splendid work bin the shipping committee. The above shipment is likely the last that Mr. Hicks will pack and ship as he leaves for active service soon, He certainly did a good job as convener of the shipping committee and Hensall Red Cross Branch is going to miss him in his faithful work.

CLUFF, Mayor A LiGHT THAT WILL ALWAYS SHINE / „, -ir * In the hearts of men, women and children in this Canada of ours gleams a light that will never be dimmed. Its flame is fed by an inward spirit of determination to put down tyranny at the cost of any sacrifice; to enthrone freedom everywhere. * One by one, in countries all over the world, the light of liberty has "gone out", but here, it is Christmas. * True, outside of our homes there is less artificial glitter than of old, but because of that, the lights in our war industries shine brighter and there is more power available to make tools that will the sooner diffuse the light of liberty "over there". Nr * And so, though our Christmas inay be 2 little less bright to the eye, within our hearts and our homes the light of a great purpose is aflame. The comparatively small sacrifices we make to conserve electricity will make more ships, guns, planes and tanks to speed the coming of Peace and Good.
