Since the form­ ing of the Belgrave branch of the Red Cross, the Society has relied upon the services of both of you, services so capably and so willingly rendered at all times. Your responsibility, Mrs. Townend, has not been a light one. Not only have you proved yourself efficient, but your patience and understanding have been a source of encouragement and a practical aid to the other Red Cross workers. With a feeling of deep loss, we extend to you our sincerest grati­ tude for your co-operation and assist­ ance. As secretary! of the Society, Mr. Townend, the calls upon your time and energy have been many and var­ ied, and always we have found a ready response. To you, also, we express our appreciation. Although the Belgrave Branch must sustain a genuine loss as you both leave for a new -field of service, we must realize that it is merely our branch that will suffer, for in your new community you will carry on, simply transferring your efforts to a new field in the broad expanse of Red Cross ac­ tivity. That ttew society will be en­ riched by your support, and enabled to put forth a more effective effort As we extend to your own sincere! gratitude, we trust you may carry with you the realization that we continue as co-workers in our common cause until victory of Red Cross ideals is realized.
