Red Cross Notes Blankets contributed to the Can- adian anadian Red Cross Society during its recent appeal have not been sent to France, Dr. Fred W. Routley, said yesterday, "Although these blankets were in- tended for the suffering refugees and wounded soldiers in France. we could- n't take a chance on their falling in- to German hands," the national com- missioner said. "The first shipment had been authorized before the French armistice, but we were able to divert the blankets to England, where they will be stored until needed. The remainer; about 00,00 will be held in Canada." Dr. Routley gave assurance that every. blanket contributed would be needed in the days to come. Already, he said, the Canadian Red Cross had been asked by the Dominion Govern- ment to loan a quantity of blankets to equip the colonist trains carrying refugee children from Britain to• destinations in Canada. "We shall have blankets, sheets, pillow cases, towels, and so on, wait- ing for the children at the port of arrival," Dr. Routley said: Among the blankets contributed during the Canadian Red Cross ap- peal were 20,000. from 'the paper companies of Canada. The treasurer wishes to acknow- ledge the receipt of ten dollars from the •Misses Doan. The local branch is very grateful to the Clinton Hard- ware and Furniture Store for the loan of a cupboard in which mater- ials for Hospital Supplies will be stored. • .- Each week the packing committee prepare and ship several cartons of supplies to Red Cross headquarters. A full account of the shipments will be made at the end of 'the month. Evening Auxiliary The members of the Evening Aux- iliary aset on Tuesday evening in the Council Chamber.

CIintonans Melfi Aght ifiter On Monday evening the Roxy Theatre was filled to the doors with eager patriotic citizens. Good humor prevailed everywhere and although many had to stand, there wasn't a grumble heard throughout, the entire evening. Tho Clinton Pipe Band was in at- tendance and played many old Scot- tish tunes. At 8.30 p.m. the show began. It opened with three comedies. The antics of Mickey Mouse, and Donald Duck greatly amused the young and old. The Master of Ceremonies was Mr. W. S. R. Holmes who very ably described the purpose and extreme necessity which prompted the Mov- ing Picture Industry of Canada to help the Government to put on a Nation wide chive for money on Monday, July 15th. He also thanked the community for their excellent spirit, both in attending the show and in buying more than the required number of War; Stamps to gain ad- mission. Mr. Holmes then introduced Mayor Waters who spoke of Britain's need at the present time of men and pro- duce from her colonies, and that in buying stamps every man, woman and child had the: opportunity of helping to "lick" Hitler. Mr. Holmes then called on Mrs. Kearns who sang a true British song "Land of Hope and Glory"'and the audience joined in singing the chorus. Mrs. W. M. Nediger then contributed a patriotic song, "Carry On", the. audience also singing the chorus. Mr. Holmes next announced the. final feature of the evening, "They Lion flan Wings" a British -made film. It depicted the difference in, the life• of a average British citizen, compared to the life of a German citizen. The British have completer freedom whereas the Germans are - always under the iron hand of Hitler. It showed the work of the factory' empoyees in England, working under war -time speed. The picture presents a striking contrast in the lives of the two countries as a whole. In. Germany the young people are brought up in a stiff military fash- ion. In England there is an air of freedom and happiness which is lacking completely in the German life. The picture then dealt with the British Air Force. Pictures had been taken of the men who' actually raid- ed Sylt just after war had been de clared, ancl these had been pieced' together and some scenes re-enacted' M foam a complete story of this: historic raid. The program closed with'the sing- ing of God Save the IKing..
