RED CROSS NOTES
The Blood Donor Committee of the
Ontario Branch has been advised
through our President, Mrs, Ellis,
that instructions have been received
from the National Executive that
all Blood Donor Clinics of the Branch
are to be closed from July lst to
July 29th.
It is not difficult to appreciate
that with •he tremendous, increase
in the quantity of blood, the Con-
naught Laboratories' facilities must
have been worked to over -capacity,
and they have, the result being that
they cannot carry on without reor-
ganization of both staff and equip-
ment. They have undertaken to do
this work during the month of July.
We must not feel that this month
will •lm entirely lost to our work. We
can do two things in all our clinics,
1. Give our voluntary help a well-
earned rest.
2. Make plans for inereasing our
donor list immediately we reopen.
Clinton's next clinic date is set
for Tuesday, August ist. Many more
donors are urgently needed. Remem-
ber. "What you don't need, our boys
are dying without." If you cannot
fight, you have the ability of say-
ing the life of some hero, who has
already fought for you. You give
your blood in comparative comfort—
he sheds his on the battlefield amid
all the grimness and horrors of war.
We are not asking too rnueh--not
even enough, when we urge you to
voluntarily offer yourself as a donor.
Our boys are not too busy to fight
for us. We Must Not be too busy to
give an hour or two to them once in
every ten weeks. August the first is
the date—get your name in early.
Our local branch is sending out an
appeal for coat hangers. These are
greatly needed by the airmen at
the camp. Please leave any you may
have at the workrooms.

Robert M. Aldwinckle, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Aldwinckle of Stan-
ley Township, who has been awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross for
meritorious service in operations.
Ottawa, June 8 --The unsung air-
men who fly the big Liberators from
east coast bases to protect Atlantic
convoys and bring their aircraft
back with engines and crews shot no,
but with successful U-boat attacks
to their credit, were enlisted today
among the 152 air awards in the
King's honor list. Citations, accom-
panying the award of a dozen Dis-
tinguished Flying Crosses for anti-
submarine work on the North At-
lantic, gave one of the best pictures
so, far disclosed of this important
work.
Sqdn./Ldr. Aldwinckle was in a
successful' attack, but the citation
did not say whether the ;attack was a
separate one, or with other crews.
The whole community rejoices in this
distinction given one of its noblest
young men. Robert,is well known to
many in town, having attended the
Clinton Collegiate, where he was
outstanding in his studies and in
school sports; and when he joined the
R.C.A.F: had completed' one year at
the University of , Toronto, Since
receiving his wings, his promotions
have been rapid, and it was on March
first that he became a Squadron
Leader and was sent to headquarters
in Ottawa. Last year he was men-
tioned in despatches.
Its only a month since this com-
munity had the opportunity of con-
gratulating Flying Officer Thomas,
C. Cooke, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. V.
Cooke of town, on receiving the
Distinguished Flying Cross, for a
successful' attack on a U-boat in .the
Notth Atlantic.
