THE WINGHAM CANADIAN LEGION members will call at your home on Monday, Mar. 22 to ask for your contribution to the annual Red Cross campaign for funds. Specific projects in which the Red Cross is en= gaged, and which are of vital interest to people in Wingham are the Westminster Hospital for war veter* ans at London, where many of our boys have received treatment; the replacement and supply of vital mater­ ials for the flood victims in Europe and the continuing work on the battle front in Korea. Any one of these works of mercy would pro vide ample reason for your generous support.
