The Canadian Red Cross, whose
business it is to know where the
burden of hardship falls most heav
ily is well aware of what is being
endured by the thousands of men on
tne British ships, large and small.
It is our business to see that the
needs of these seamen are met and
even anticipated. One day a ship
of the British Navy arrived from a
warm climate to a Canadian port in
mid-winter. They had the lightest
of clothing only. The captain called
on the Red Cross to see if anything
could be done to provide his men
with warm clothing. The answer
was ‘Yes.’ Within a few hours the
supplies were on hoard — Balaclava
helmets, scarves, socks sweaters,
etc. Warm clothing such as the
women of this district have been
making — the women of the prair
ies. the villages, towns and cities
where the war seems remote. We
must carry on with this job. Pre
parations are now being made for
the great canvass for funds next
month. Save some money weekly
for the next few weeks

Break in Water Main
Last week a leak developed in the
water main between the springs and
the pump-house of the town’s water
system and the small well near the
station proved to be a valuable aux
iliary. For two days while the
main source was out of commission
the 33-foot well provided 66 gallons
per minute or an average of about
100,000 gallons a. day. This with
the water stored in the reservoir
was ample for the town’s need.
Since the new well was placed in
operation about two years ago it
has provided over two million gal
lons of water.
