Condensed Secretary's Report
It is my privilege as your secretary,
to lay before you the record of my
year's work and the usual facts in re-
gard to it, As we meet to review the
results of our work in this Red Cross
Branch in the year just closed, several
things come to my mind. For in-
stance, the growth of our branch since
its inception, th.e real progress which
has been made, the spirit of friendl-
iness and understanding among our
workers is something very lovely, all
working unitedly with a spirit of for-
bearance, agreeing to differ, hut, per-
mitting nothing to-interfere with that
true feeling of understanding to one
another. , •
Since the last Annual Meeting the
full Exec. has. just had one meeting,
This is on record and dealt with the
appointment •of a liaison officer for
the branch here, Miss Eleanore Car-
son. She, it is, who looks after the
interests ,of the next-of-kin of Pris-
oners-of-war; a committee to welcome
returning service men or their wives
home front overseas, the salVage drive
for paper and, rags, also the auction
sale in Juue and various other items,
The greater share of the money
raised by the annual campaign, 85%
goeS to National. Headquarters to sup.:
ply funds to- send Prisoner-of-war
parcels.
The new Manual .of Red Cross
organization is in your president's
hands. It came early in the Year and
is in loose leaf form, which enables the
branch to add to its pages- the
months go on. It Will be of great value
to your officers aso no form of pro-
cedure of business had; been to ,hand
before. It is to remain in the hands
of the president' as long as the branch
functions.
Another appeal has come from the
Ontario office in regard to the Blood
Donor's Clinic, 50,000 new dbnOrs are
called for.
We haven't any accurate record of
the donors from. this: branch because
some, go to Wingham and some to Lis-
towel. Could we do more from iGorrie
and district?
Since our last annual meeting sor-
row entered some of our homes and
to these We extend our sympathy.
The very serious falling off in the
amount of finished 'Work, going .into the
Divisional , Warehouses from the
branches has been a matter .of deep
concert, to ,Mrs, Fraser, head of
the Watiten'S War Work Committee,
The quotas aeeepted by the Division
were not met in 1044 although they

A. new feature which has been made
available to us at no cost O. US is the
"News Bulletin."
I have tried to review the work of
the past year in this report and it is
my wish that this annual meeting be
both pleasant and profitable; the
measure of its success lies in our
hands, But as well as reviewing the
past year. we must plan for the year .
ahead, Many lives are depending on
us for comforts and others are watch,'
ing our .every enactment that they may
criticize and retard our work, so let
us legislate wisely as the Master wohld

The new president then took the
chair and expressed the hope that this
year victory would be ours but let us,
he said. never slacken in any way our
efforts, our •givings or our interests in
the noble work of the Red Cross. He
asked continued co-operation of , the
members and officers of the branch,

Hello Homemakers! We've only a
soft 'spot' on our butter plate after
making hearty lunches for our industri„
ous folk. Busy workers need more
food; for they use a lot of energy and
should build resistance to the com,
inunicable diseases -that are more
prevalent at this time. The butter for
the extra sandwiches is limited these
days. Butter contains fat to supply a
lot of energy and Vitamin A which
regulates the functions of delicate
membranes, particularly of the breath-
ing system. A substitute for this im-
portant product should be considered
each day. More fatty meats, gravy,
fish, salad dressing or mayonnaise,
rich milk, supply similar fuels, while
Vitamin A is found in carrots, to-
matoes, green cabbage, milk ,and eggs.
The encouraging part of food substi-
tutes is that there is always something
else available and at comparable
prices. With everyone doing their
part less butter will be required. Mean-
while. "stick' to recipes using other
fats.
