RED CROSS NOTES
l'hen' end of this war is near but
with that end the,work of the -Red
Cross will be neededmore than be-
fore. We in RedI Cross" have a par-
ticular., duty toward , all men who
are easnalties of this war. Those
'who are so unfortunately gaing to
need many months, possibly years of
hospitalization, must never be for-
gotten. ,
The work must continue through
the next ,years for relief in Great
Britain and on the continent and
this will be limited only . by the
amount of moneg available and the
amoent of work the . branches are
willing to do.
Clinton Branch has a reeord of
which it may welt be proud. We
hep to early op with all our ingen-
uity, courage, and interest' just as
long as a need exists.

soon had two tug-of-war teams pal-

- Little England, under the resource -
fur leadership of Fred Sloman anti
Bert Glidden, used some of" their
spare aline in assembling a'scafffold
and effigy. Fred Sloman Mut made

flags. These were, held by Bill and

ter of Mr. and Mss. Fred Sloman,

Then the flags were burned' with the
Clinton's Secret Radar School days:
Major Role in War.
Now it can be told. A few hours
after' Japan accepted the Potsdam
Ultimatum, the 'censorship was lilted
from one of the war's best kept
secrets—the use of Radar as •"an
offensive as 'well as defensive wea-
pon in the war.
Early in 1941, the' .Bcittsh ..Air
Ministry sent en urgent., .message',
stating that recruiting of radia
mechanics had , ,practically cease
in Britain . and ,that • R.D.F. (Radio
Direction Finding) expansion was
now dependent on Canadian sources.
One, thousand' ineehaniee 'were -want-
ed by the end of . the' Year. -
