Seaforth District Exceeds
Red Cross Quota
With the close of the •campaign
we are able to announce that the
quota of $5,500 asked for by Prov- .
]neral headquarters has been exceed-
ed by 2314 per cent., reaching $6,800 '
approximately, This tops the prev•
-
ions high of last year by $100.
In' spite of the obvious fact that
the heaviest drain on Red Cross (the .
prisoner of war parcels project, 55
per cent) is rapidly being reduced
and in Europe, is likely soon to be
eliminated . entirely, you did not
slacken in your support.
As the Ontario and Canadian
quotas have also been exceeded, this
we think will be accepted by Cana-
dian Red Cross as an endorsement of
their work.
And now a personal note. May I
be permitted to thank all who shar-
ed in the drive, conveners, canvass-
ers, donors, and particularly Mr, Me-.
Millan of the Provincial SavingsOf-
fice for his indispensable services in
receiving and tabulating the canvas -
sera' returns. All displayed a cheer-
ful loyalty to the Great Canadian
Red Cross Society which made, for
me, the work of the campaign a real
pleasure. For this I am truly grate-
ful. Again. to all, thanks.

ance Committee.
