It is with grateful and thankful hearts 'that we give the 57th annual report of the St. Thomas' Branch of the W.A. During the past year we held nine regular meetings with an average attendance of ten member's. There are 36 members, 11 of whuln. are Life Members. Three new mem- bers were welcomed during the year. Owing to generous donations we were able to fulfill all obligations and pledges, also to send one pair of pillow slips and sheets to Huron College and make an outfit for a five year old boy and girl in connec- tion with Save Europe's .Children plan. The spring Deanery was held at Clinton in March, four members going from this branch. The April meeting was of special interest when Mrs. W. Southgate was pre- , seated with a life membership.

S/L ERNEST, HARSTON TO ADDRESS RED -CROSS On Thursday, Dec. 1,2th at 8.15 p.m. in St. James' Separate School Rev. Ernest Harston will address a Red Cross meeting. A special invite - tion is extended to the units and to Kippen East W.I. and to Brucefield Red Cross. Squadron Leader Ernest Harston served for six years with the Royal Canadian Air Force and is also a veteran of World War I. He is the field secretary of the Ontario Divi- sion. While serving in World War II his duties took him over the whole continent of Africa, Egypt, the Soudan, Cyprus, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Malta, Sicily and Italy, Iraq, Iran and India. Born in England he received his early education at Owens College, Manchester, and is a graduate of the University of Toronto. Squadron Leader Harston, who began his duties with the Ontario Division in January 1946,.has warm- ly admired Red Cross as he has seen it operate on the battlefront, in hospitals, on trains and among the prisoners of war. He is equally en- thusiastic for its peacetime mission. From the financial statements of! this worthy organization we find lists ' of things accomplished. They supplied . the hospital with gifts of fruit, fiowers, heating pads,' rubber sheets, linen, stretcher 'pads, ginger ale for patients, magazines, books. _ These are only a few of the many things the Hospital Aid has accom- plished in the past. We need the Hospital Aid.' We will be looking to the ,women of the surrounding die- trict for support when the time comes to re -organize. It was Starr King who said, I have one life to Iive and now is the time to spend it." DECEMBER MEETING OF C. W. L.
