AHappy New Year We Thank You for Your Manifest Good Will and Appreciation of our efforts to serve you during these trying • times. Mind--- ..:1 M 'lease Bear n our Store will remain closed until next Tuesday, January 2nd. R. V. IRWIN ds RED CROSS NOTES Something from the Heart Dozens of lettersarrive: daily at the Canadian Red Cross offices ex- pressing thanks for services render- ed or supplies' and advice received. The Society welcomes: these mes- sages of appreciation because the majority of them come from the hearts of people in neisd of help and comfort :and it is the work •of the organization to see that these wants,. are fulfilled for the Red Cross is the heart of the Canadian people. Some of the letters tell a pathetic story of hardship when homes were destroyed' in air raids, and how thankful the writers were to receive Canadian Red Cross iblankets and quilts to keep out the cold; others are messages of life such as the pending birth of a' baby and. tell' how much it has meant to get a Canadian layette; and again, it may be a note from sta- tioned •o aW .R tioned at a lonely post,in the north of Scotland giving ,thanks for warm clothing. . Here is a typical letter of thanks from the women of the National Fire Service, Slough, near London. The writer says: "We should like to express our 'appreciation to the Canadian Red Cross for the colour- ful and beautifully worked quilts we have recently received. They have made our beds look attractive and so cosy—and we cease to shiver. "We have not yet stopped won- dering and marvelling at the work and patience which has been put into the patchwork. It is a perfectly grand feeling to know' that we have a piece of Canada with us and to know that we are thought .of. We, so often felt like nobody's babies." This excellent work by the. women of Canada has done` much to consoli- date the relationship between the Dominion and Great Britain. But most of all it has once again demon.,. str,ated. the warm-heartedness of Canadians toward a member of the family who needed help. arattaratarataaaraanarstararatarkataramorarairtaaiaram-araasonitratarara:atiaataatarattrataa`v`°a aserantztararacemrstaralatatatsratwastaantantararaletaterntateramtarateteratatatatetarcratataratm Our Sincere New Years Greeting May 1945 bring you Happiness and Content- ment with a return of Peace and Prosperity tor all..
