Night, and concerts put on by artists from R.A.F., Port Albert and Radio School, Clinton, and Lifebuoy Follies. Refreshment booths were also under our management at Lions' Frolics, Street' Fairs, Race Meet, Bingoes, and auction sales. In fact, wherever a crowd was expected to gather, our Red Cross booth was usually in evidence. In addition, we received many donations both large and mall from organizations and individuals. Other efforts put forth were the salvage of waste material, fats, bones and old license plates. For a time, our branch supplied two women for two evenings a week to act as hostesses or supervisors at the Service Club in the Recreation Rooms. This was especially helpful while the Radio School was in its infancy and the staff and trainees were RAF, RCAF, and Americans, many miles from home. This pleasant duty was discontinued as the need was outgrown in March, 1943, but the personal contacts made in this way were many and very worthwhile. Hospital at R. and C. S. The local military hospital at the Radio School has always been our immediate interest. The hospital windows were 'curtained by our branch. Knitted 'comforts were sent to the boys there, also supplies of jam and •jellies, deck chairs, pyjamas, hot water bottle covers and surgical towels. Since early in 1942 a cont. mittee of two of our women have visit- ed the hospital each month and taken with them flowers for the hospital and patients, also gifts of reading material, playing cards. home-made baking, candy, gum, fruit, puzzles and other games. Needless to say these visits have been •much enjoyed by the visitors as well as the patients. Shopping bags with wool and sewing materials were also supplied for the Hostess House for past -time for the airmen's wives being entertained there. Gifts on enlistment and at Christ- mas time were presented to our ser- vice boys and girls until •May 1944, when this practice was discontinued in the name of the Red Cross at the -request of headquarters. This work was then taken over by the Evening Auxiliary. We also remembered those less fortunate than ourselves. Blankets were sent to Britain. also handker- chiefs. Showers of toilet and sewing articles for women of England, both in uniform and civilians, were sent; also splendid donations for Russian Relief and Survivors' Bundles; also old fur for seamen's vests. Then last autumn our community sent forward 6,785 pounds of clothing during the National Clothing Campaign. Several large donations of jam were also con- tributed by our branch. Another very ''pleasant service we have been able to render recently is the welcoming of all overseas brides resident in our community, also our own returning service boys and girls. Each is given an official welcome home, when a small gift is presented. A Prisoner -of -War department has also been carried on. Through this, relatives were able to contact prison- ers -of -war and word could be'tcceived of missionaries or others resident in enemy countries. 18 Blood Clinics In June 1944 our first Blood Clinic was held. This became a regular ser- vice carried on by an efficient staff of doctors, nurses, secretaries, re- ceptionists and other attendants in dining room and kitchen. In all 18 clinics ,were held with 1,922 donations, maintain an effie;ent service for those requiring information on rental regal. 1. tions.

The entire community was steadfastly be- hind this project as was shown by the generous contributions of time, food and money of organizations as well as many individuals. Garments Supplied While all these needs have been taken care of when required, there has been carried on at the same time a steady output of much needed gar- ments for service men aur, women and British civilians, both sewn and knit- ted articles as well as hospital sup- plies, and warm, beautifully made, much needed quilts, Under the convenorship of Mos. Twichell, our first shipment of knit- ting -11 pairs of socks—was made on October 27, 1939. Two weeks later, 67 pairs of socks were shipped, also one scarf and two pair of wristlets. Our women were ready and anxious to knit but wool was very scarce. Headquarters even could not supply the order for 10 spindles of wool which had been a motion of Mrs. Brydone and Mrs. Paterson. however, as wool became available, workers, under the convenorship of Mrs. Twitchell, Mrs. Fingland and Mrs. I.lennen have completed 12,709 articles of knitting. Workroom Activity As you all know, the local work- room has been the scene of much activity throughout the war years. Mrs. H. Bartliff was the first sewing convenor and was succeeded by Mrs. T. Morgan. Early in 1940, however, this work was -taken over by Mrs. Godon Cuninghame who reorganized the town into working groups, which plan has been most successfully con- tinued with some revisions made as the need arose. For a time all Red Cross sewing was completed in the workroom, but in May, 1940, it was decided to give out sewing in homes of reliable sewers. In this manner, about 250 volunteer workere have turned out beautifully made garments under the direction of Mrs. Cuning- hame, 'Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Connell. Hospital supplies were completed under the guidance of the sewing convenors until February, 1943, when the Evening Auxiliary and RCAF Auxiliary with Mrs. Livermore as convenor, became responsible for the quotas of surgical dressings required. In this manner, 19,700 articles of sewing were completed during the war programme. (This number includes the surgical dressings made in 1941- 42) Surgical dressings prepared in 1940, 1943, 1944 and 1945 totalled 45,756 articles. Quilts were made under the conven- orship of the sewing convenor, Mrs. Cuninghame, until 1942, when Mrs. Hudie became quilt convenor. Many quilts were finished each year. While all have done very well in this work. special mention should be made of St. Paul's Guild, Holmesville and Sum- merhill, and Ontario St. W. A., whose work has been outstanding. Alto- gether, 893 quilts, both large and small have been completed by the Clinton Branch of the Red Cross. Others deserving special mention are the convenors of the wool, cutting and shipping committees. Miss Shaw and Miss Stirling have been the wool convenors for the entire war pro- gramme—a .very splendid record in- deed. The cutting committees under the following convenors: Mrs. Hanley, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. Rumball and Mrs. Venner have done a splendid job. Last. but by no means least, is the work of the shipping commitee. With Mrs. Counter, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Haddy as their convenors, this committee has listed, sorted, tied, and parcelled tons of goods prepared by our branch. Four Presidents Served For six -and -a -half years, the Clin- ton Branch' has carried on their war work under the leadership of the fol- lowing presidents: Mrs. F. G. Thomp- son, Mrs. J. Radford, Mrs. F. Fing- land and Mrs. W. A. Oakes. During that time the total receipts have been $40,087.11. The treasurers have been Mrs. Fingland, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. Axon and Mrs. McInnes. Today, we complete our - war activities but the Red Cross job is never done. A peacetime programme awaits us. There is a great need for all our workers, The Red Cross needs your continued support. Altogether a total of 79,058 articles have been completed by our branch. The total receipts, $40,087,11.
