LORNE HOWEY TELLS OF RED CROSS GIFTS P.O. E. L. Howey, writing from England to his mother, Mrs. F. L. Howey, secretary of the Exeter Branch of the Red Cross, express­ es appreciation of what that, soci­ ety is doing. He says: “Here is some Red Cross news. To-day we all received a pair of pyjamas and a pair of socks, every­ body in the squadron, so we all think quite a bit of the Canadian Red Cross. But here is the point— We all paid sixpence (10c) for them, to pay for the transportation up from London. It was in no way a charge for the articles, but merely for the transportation and any ■amount over .that goes into the squadron fund for future celebra­ tions. The six pence covers both socks and pyjamas and everybody was tickled to get them and thought it was great to have Can­ adians looking after a Canadian squadron. Of rumors about Red Cross things being sold. over here think the -Canadian Red Cross is .tops as they have, had a bit of a rough time lately and the Canadian Red Cross the spot with clothes, everything that has So you will be glad work has not been in vain and that it is appreciated.
