The objective this year is $1,500.00, up slightly fromlast year. According' to campaign chair- man' L. F. Ford, it is hoped to complete the canvass in the Week commencing March 1. Mr. Ford said the ‘'town had been divided into districts. Chairmen in each of the areas include Mrs. Doreen Miss Mae Smith, Rev. J. 1.7re Stewart, •Mrs. W, E. Butt and Mrs. A. Y. McLean, who have arranged for canvassers in .each district. Donations also will be ac- cepted at 'Seaforth Banks and at the office of W. E. Southgate. Receiptsfor income tax purpos- es are given for gifts to the Red Cross, Mr. Ford said. The Seaforth branch of the Red Cross is 'headed by IVIrs- W. E. Butt, The branch carries on a continuing program to assist in Red Cross objectives. Particular emphasis is placed on the Red Cross 'free blood transfusion service, Mr. Ford said. There is no substitute for whole blood, he pointed out. When one loses great quan- tities of his own blood through an injury or surgery, transfu- sion of whole blood or blood products is the only a,nswer. Last year in Canada, one per- son in 66 needed a transfusion of two or more units. of whole blood. One person in 427 need- ed a transfusion of blood pro- ducts. These needs were met because Canadians voluntarily donated their blood through the Blood Transfusion - Service of the Canadian Red Cross. Through the Red Cross, blood is available. free of charge to anyone in hospital who needs it., Because it is free, sick and injured Canadians saved more, than $25% -million last year.. Referring to queries as th the way in which Red Cross gifts are used, Mr. Ford said the free blood service takes 37.9% of the Red Cross dollar. Other expenditures are: Hospi- tal services, including home nursing, outpost hospitals, home- making service and, sickroom supply service, '7.8%; service to Veterans, 5.3%; instructional services, disaster, welfare and water' safety, 17.7%; Junior Red cross, 8.7% international work, 9.1%; administrative sal- aries, 3.9%; campaign expenses, 6.0%; general expenses, opera- tion of premises and vehicles, 1.1%; information service and publications, 2.5%. al them into line with require; ments when the hospital moves into the new building, expected early next summer.

He said several groups were interested i,n the hospital pro- perty and were investigating varions features. He felt that offers for the property would be received.

Greatest loss came from farm fires. Had it. not been for the company's membership_ in the farm mutual reinsurance plan, the company would have had to draw on its surplus, Mr. Tre- wartha said.
