RED CROSS NOTES
The following letter, written by
Miss Mary Elizabeth Wright, a mens-
ber of the Red Cross Corps in
France, speaks for itself in telling
of some of the work done by our
Canadian Red Cross.
"At last we have started to work
after a long period of hardening up.
When we Ianded here (in France) we
were sure that work would begin im-
mediately •but had to await supplies.
We are now in full swing. First day
we admitted walking patients , and
stretcher cases; served them all tea.
It 'was. a hectic day, dashing from
ward to ward; the mien all needed
small kit containing tooth brush.
shaving things and so on, so allthat
was given out. We gave books to
those who wanted them and running
a library with all other tasks besides,
kept us busy indeed. It is allmuch
appreciated by the men.
"I was most interested in seeing
the work in the Resuscitation Station
where Red Cross blood was used. If
you knew how much is used, and how
necessary it is! If those at home
could
see the good it is doing
they
would know that the Blood Donor
work is just about the most import-
ant part of the Red Cross:
The .boys think that 'Red Cross is
just about the finest thing there is.
They can't seem to get over what we
do for them. I have seat enquiries
placesas far away as Russia, trying
to trace the families for the men who
wait anxiously for information. Of
course we may not hear for a long
time but still they seem to feel better
when some attempt is made to con.
tact their loved ones,
"The other day, after ministering
to a Canadian Indian lad, lie asked
me `where does all the material come
from?' .I told him about how Cana-
dian Red Cross raised money in an.
nue), campaigns to carry on its work
of tierce,. Ile offered' me 500 francs
to donate to Red Cross.
They are grand lads. and one must
admire their spirit. I visited one boy
who was sitting up in bed writing a
letter home, using his left hand. Itis
right arm had been amputated th'e
night before. That's the spirit which
is winning the wax for us."

day, and the Girls' Athletic Society
did, a rushing business at the booth
where refreshments were served and
competition was keen, -
The :track and field events were
also keenly contester,there being a
large number of entries in each. The
day concluded with a boy's softball
game" between the Clinton Juveniles
and a team chosen from the rest of
the school. The result was 11 to 10 in
favour of the Juveniles, J. Elliott of
the Juveniles. was shelled from the
mound in the second inning and was

him on first base. 'Chock Handy eame
in as relief with Fingland going be-
hind the ,plate from 1st base. Man-
ager Kennedy later took .over the
Pitching chores himself. Dining and
Hilborn pitched well for the losers.
C. Haply, and T. Mustard made spec-
tacular catches in the field. First
form ,girls thought the game would
have to be postponed when Johnson
stole 2nd. base. Morgan, however,
also hada claim on. and base; in
fact he was standing on it. and in
the resulting confusion, 1VIr. Morgan,

we will .:be just as appreciative of

• The greatest benefits the system
will produce is better Health to all

Our Septic Tank system was only a

But never the sea you understand,
The women of England packed 'par -

To send to the men who sailed with
the Fleet.
And to make then•more friendly and
add so -me fen,
A "Ditty" was written and enclosed
with each one.
So to this day when parcels we pack,
For the men of the Navy, for every
man Jack,
They are called "Ditty" Bags, in
memory see,
Of the way they began in the British
Navee."
