The report of Women's Work Com-
mittee was ably given by the secret-
ary, Mrs. E. W. Carson.
Mrs. Toner, convener of W.W,C, ex-
tended gracious thanks to all her com-
mittee, especially mentioning the cut-
ters and the ladies in the distributing
rooms, She also thanked all the groups
for their donations of Friut Cake and
Candy for the Overseas Boxes. Over
10 lbs. of Fruit Cake was divided into
the boxes. Mrs. Toner made mention
of the 24 layettes which are now to
be made and asked that each group, if
possible, include safety pins, soap, and
baby powder in each layette. Each
layetee is to be rolled separately in its
own blanket. one Red Cross tag sewn
on outside. These, she said, are in-
structions from headquarters.
Mr. H. Strong was appointed presi-
ding officer but after some discussion
a motion was passed reelecting the
officers of 1945,
A. motion was also passed empower-
ing the executive to surrender the
charter and conclude the business on
hand any time during their term of
office. A letter regarding the Canvass
held in March was read by the Secret-
ary. The letter stated that no canvass
for funds would be made this year, that
in spite of heavy commitments, both
at home and abroad, involving millions
of dollars, the magnificient financial
support which the people of Ontario
have given this Society (Ont, Div.), it
would be unnecessary to appeal for
funds until 1947. However, without
members, the Society would cease to
exist, so, therefore, an appeal would
be made for members, starting March
1st., 1946, If the Red Cross is to be a
potent factor in peace as well as war
in "The Improvement ofHealth, the
Prevention of Disease and the Mitiga-
tion of Suffering, throughout the
World'. the membership must be kept
at a high level, The annual member-
ship fee'is $1.00 or more. No action
was taken as it was felt further in-
struetions would come through.
The meeting closed with the Nation-
al Anthem.
(Mrs. A, A.) Nellie A. Taylor, Sec.
church, going on to thank the other
members of the executive, and the
working members of the Branch for
their great interest in the work and
the manner which they had carried on,
during his long illness this past year.
He said he had never had to ask to
have a job done, it was done for him
and he wished to express his sincere
thanks for the kindness.
The report of the Secretary was
given by her.
