• It is only through the Canadian Red Cross Society that anybody in Canada
can send food parcels to any Canadian, British, Australian or New Zealand
prisoner -of -war anywhere.
This is but one of the great tasks of the Canadian Red Cross; great tasks require
great effort and much looney.
More than 40,000 prisoners -of -war food parcels are sent overseas by the Red
Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to rneet the actual
need. More than a million such parcels have already been sent to prisoners -of -war.
It all costs' money. 'The Canadian Red Cross Society has not campaigned
nationally for' funds since October, 1940. It now asks urgently for $9,000,000 in
the only national campaign for war service funds to be authorized by the Govern-
ment this year.
Every dollar contributed by you is wisely dealt with and economically adminis-
tered. All' Red Cross accounts are subject to scrutiny by the Auditor -General
of Canada.
The Canadian Red Cross has given enormous
rssiet:ance to the 'injured and homeless in
bombed areas in Britain. At Coventry and
