RED CROSS NOTES
We already realize the inestimable
value of Red Cross .parcels' sent to
our men'o� the
fighting forces ;who
have been captured and thrust into
prison camps. The following letter,
written by a Toronto girl, will give
us some idea of what these Red &roes
boxed mean to civilian prisoners of
war.

received Red Cress parcels. It was a
great thrill to get all the goodfies.

of my longed for plain chocolate, a
huge tin of Klira, salmon, sardines,
crackers, pork patties, prunes; dried
apples, tea, sugar, salt. We had af-
ternoon tea, both yesterday and to-
day and how we gloried in this treat!
There are eight of us in our partic-
ular younger set, and we pool all our
Red Cross foodstuffs and use them
-commonly (except the chocolate
which is strictly private.)
"The clothes situation is remedied

The Rotarians made a good impres-

"I wish the Red Cross people could
actually realize how much their boxes
mean to each one of us. Only if you

disapproval, ever, for I simply don't
know what we would, do' without
them! I have often thought of a re-
mark made last fall by a girl during
the Reid Cross canvass. As she de-
bated whether she would• contribute
her nickel or dime site said, 'You
know, I don't know whether I like
the Red Cross or not.' I toldd her a
few things then that I wish I could
see her now. I am knitting myself
some anile socks of Red Cross wool.
Some discarded Air Force mittens
were sent here, and those in need
were given these to rip. I split the
wool, which was heavy, so that it
would go further."

that the splendid sum of $106.90 was
realized. We take this, opportunity of

SUMESSY UL AFFAIR
The annual At -Home and Dance of
the Clinton Collegiate Institute, which
was held' last Friday, evening, was as
usual a delightful occasion. The
auditorium was colorfully and 'charm-
ingly decorated, representing' the set-
ting sun. Back of the orchestra the
sun and its rays were shown in yel-
low, 'orange and black. The ;ceiling,
walls and lights', were draped,comple-
tely with streamers of pink, yellow
purple ;orange, red, cerise and blue
which gave a soft colorful effect. On
the walls were some interesting pic-
tures painted by students of the Col-
legiate and repesenting songs. 'The
decorations were under the s'upervis-
