Meeting 05 t�rA A most successful annual meeting As we look at the work from >day of the Clinton Branch of the Red to day it may seem trivial but when s'Cross Was held in the Council Chain- webegin to compile reports of the '; bees on Thurs.'

The harmony and copora tion existing among the units, is ver splendid, indeed. An ever-expanding front ha increased the necessity reat° ;quantities of supplie When w thought our output e `sup :plies had reached it -v received a communication heat quarters requesting ad ded ' effort to coin forts for "Capture Pa Thes "Capture Parcels" are t :pa' cels our boys receive parte capture.

In Januaryppea was made for Russian d our branch sent $100.00. L is of used clothing were sen d fo this same cause.' • Throughout the winters the Council Chamber was each Monday afternoon by w no as- sembled to prepare hos plies. Two units -of these supe thus sent forth every two i n day Evening Post, jig -saw puzzles, g stationery, playing cards, and other . games. h In June our first Blood Donor n Clinic was held and was most suc- - cessful. In fact, we wero told by those y in'char'ge of Hie mobile unit that it was the most efficiently conducted s `.first" clinic they had attended. The r initial ; expense of this clinic was e born by the Junior Red Cross of the - Collegiate Institute, Since that time e We have had' -three more clinics. A I- fifth clinic will be held on January 11th, As this is, perhaps, the most important of all our Red'Cross work e we are glad to be the 'sponsors of r_ these clinics.' We cannot all -be front d line fighters but we can send our blood that many amore of our young g t men may return. e During the year we have held two t• concerts put on by artists from the e Radio School which were greatly en- , ,toyed by all. We also wero in charge ✓ of the Refreshment Booth at the t Lions frolic in September. In the autumn we had an appeal ✓ from headquarters for Personal Property Bags for our bob s. Our response lees 116 Personal Property Bags and a donation of $100.00 with which to purchase contents for these bags. A most successful Red Cross Rally r. was held in October when a gdod miscellaneous programme, put on by the units, a splendid display, of Red Cross work and an inspiring' address greatly stimulated interest locally. During the year each. of our boys and girls received suitable gifts on enlistment, and at Christmas 97 of our boys overseas were remembered also. The outlying units take care of the boys of their own conmiuni- ties. A new machine for the - workroom was purchased and the others re- paired. The entire cost of this was covered. by a donation from the Dramatic Club for which we are ex- tremely grateful. With the machines now in good condition we are looking forward to larger numbers of volun- teer workers in our workrooms. We extend -our thanks to the Lions Club, the L. 0.. L., the War Services Committee, the Church Or- ganizetions, the Dramatic Club, the Junior Red Cross of the Collegiate Institute and -the Public School, to the Doctors' and nurses and other volunteer helpers of the Blood Donor Clinic; to all the blood donors, to Mr. Hall' for his generous contribution through his paper to all Red Cross activities. To those and all others who in any way, have helped to for- ward the work of the Red Cross, we extend our grateful appreciation. As we enter a new year may we go forward with greater zeal. The wo- men of Clinton have done, and are doing, a wonderful job in turning out vast quantities of Red Cross Sup- plies but we must not slacken now.. Here at home,' reading our news- papers filled with optimist despat- ches,it would bo easy to suppose that the need for Red Cross supplies might be less. g Thev • very air Y seems full of speculation as to when the war will finish. Military men and statesmen alike are making predic- tions. Just the other day General Dwight D. Eisenhower6 forecast com- plete defeat for Germany in 1944. "The pnly thing needed" he said, "is for every man and woman - all the way from the front line to the re- motest o st h anile t to do his or her full duty". Let us see to it that each of us do her full duty. There are long months ahead when the people up in the front line will need every bit of • help Canada ca war V for g s.

Another of our contributions was the conservation of fats and bones which were delivered from time to tine at the Local butcher shops as part of the war effort of our house- wives. Our branch purchased ten Emergency units for use in the com- munity in case of accident or epidem- ic. We have been very fortunate in being able to take advantage of the Refresher courses in nursing through three of out• graduate nurses. Last winter Mrs. Reddy kindly consented to take the course in "Horne Nurs- ing" and later, with the assistance of Mrs. Oakes, conducted classes in Home Nursing. In October, Mrs. Oakes took a refresher course in'Ent- ergencies in War" and in December Mrs. F. G. Thompson took a course in "First Aid." Thus our branch is well equipped to conduct classes in each of these courses. Those avail- ing themselves of this opportunity are then qualified to act as "Volun- teer Aids" in nursing in the event of epidemic or disaster. A course in "Emergencies in War" has also been conducted by the local doctors and was found very worthwhile by the twenty-five women who took advan- tage of this course. one more lec- ture is yet to be given. In the Spring a Red Cross 'cam- paign was conducted by the War Services Committee -our organization, however, bearing all the expenses in connection with it, In this effort we are very grateful to the Committee and canvassers in charge of the cern- paign for their untiring efforts and to the community for the loyal sup- port received.. Eighty-five per cent of all donations is now forwarded to headquarters in Toronto. In answer town appeal for old furs for' r Seamen's Vests. and o sed clothing for "Survivors' Bun - les", so generous a response was made that' we were able to ship seven arge boxes of splendid clothing and wilts. Our President and Sewing Conve- or, as .delegates from our Branch, ttended the Provincial Council in oronto in March and brought back »itch valuable first hand .information 'belt enabled us to carry on more fficiently. A shower of toilet and sewing' ,titles for women, in England in nifornt and civilians was heid in pril when a box Of these articles 08 thus prepared and sent to cadquarters in Toronto. A gift of $25.00 for jam -staking as also . donated by the Branch, ealizing the importance of this orale -building "sweet" for bonbed- t victims, patients in military hos- tills and the small occupants of 'series we were glad to matte this. »all 'contribution.

On economics said: "Prosperity is the fruit of labo prosperity is desirable; is a positi good in the world. That some shou be rich shows that others may beco rich, and. hence is just encouragemer to industry and enterprise... Let not him who is homeless pu down the house of another, but let hi labor diligently to build one for him self, thus by example assuring tha his. own shall be safe from Violence, I take it that it is best for all to lea each man free to acquire property a fast as he can. Some will get wealth I don't believe in a law to prevent man from getting rich, it would Si more harm than good. -V- Prom a chemical standpoint, th important factors which t plant breeds., look fax in oil-bearin seed are the .protein and oil content and what the analysts call theeiodine number.
