RED CROSS NOTES •
The last bulletin from Division
Headquarters stated that the urgent
,appeal issued May 23, has been met
and that this is an opportune tinkle to
slow down. There are long months
ahead when one':Z energies will be
taxed to the utmost. Another reason
given for slowing down is that the
Purchasing Committee require a free
period, to take stock and to re -or-
ganize in the warehouse. It is earn-
estly hoped that given a brief period
of leisure, a quota system can be set
up. This is at the request of a num-
ber of Work Convenors, but it cannot
be managed while under such pres-
sure at Head Office. Several sug-
gestions were offered: 1. All work
rooms should arrange holidays, how -
I ever brief; 2. That as little ordering
of new materials as possible be done;
3. That all materials' on hand be used
up for the purpose for -which they
were intended; 4. Groups making
surgical supplies should continue, but
at slower pace; 5. Local conditions
should be considered, where there are
summer resorts contributing to the
work of the branches, this should be
encouraged. There is no desire on
the part of the National Committee
to make difficulties, but rather to.
assist the branch work convenors, to
arrange a program which will be
perfectly reasonable and consistent
with current events in the theatre of
war; 6 Refugee Clothing. Since
European refugees Cannot be helped
through the Canadian Red Cross So-
ciety at present, and since large
quantities of clothing have been ship-
ped to England for distribution, un-
der the direction of our Overseas
committee, it has been decided to fin-
ish up clothing now in the making,
but for the future to only make such
clothing as British children, evacuat-
ed to Canada under the Government
scheme, may require. This means
the local problem should be carefully
considered, and only clothing requir-
ed ed in the area of each branch be
made up, such clothing to be held in
the branches for the present. Further
details and instructions in this mat-
ter will be issued, when the Govern-
ment scheme is complete and when
the Red Cross has been made aware
of their particular part in the whole
scheme.

Drowning Claims Holmesville Man
Searchers shortly after 10.30
o'clock last night located the body of
J. Brodgen MacMath, 43 -year-old
resident of Holmesville who three
hours earlier slipped from sight in
the •deep waters of the Maitland
River under Forester's Bridge in Col-
borne Township, where he and his
wife had gone to seek relief from!
the heat.
The remains were recovered some
fifty feet from where Mr. MacMath
had gone bathing.
Gordon Stock, a neighbor who had
gone swimming to the popular spot
before 1VIaeMath's arrival went to
his assistance when he saw his
hands in the air. He was unable to
hold him however and Mr. MacMath
sank into about fifteen feet of water.
Mrs. MacMath was sitting at the
d e of the water when the fatality
e g
occurred.
An alarm was immediately sound-
ed and a large group of neighbours
and other organized in dragging that
section of the river' It was estimat-
ed the accident took place about 7.30
o'clock. Dragging operations were
in charge of Fire Chief Beacom of
Goderich and some Goderich firemen
who were among the volunteers.
It was understood that Mr. Mac -
Math was a non -swimmer and had
gone to the river to seek relief from
the heat.
Word of his death comes as a
distinct shock to the district, as he•
was well-known as a war veteran and
!operator of a large apiary at Holmes-
ville. He was a native of the district
and is survived only by his wife. Mr.
MacMaith was a member of the Unit-
ed Church.

SAVE FOR VICTORY
Will all householders please save
the following articles: Paper, all
kinds; rags, clean or dirty; metal;
miscellaneous, such as rubber, tinfoil,
tooth paste tubes, shave cream tubes.
We have two purposes in mind to
achieve first, the salvage of mater-
ial which ordinarily would not be re-'
covered; secondly, the raising of
money for the Red Cross and war
purposes. The first objective, we fee],
is of primary necessity, in order to
preserve our national resources, We
regret we have been unable to find
a market for tins and glass, but fon
those things listed, we have, and
would urge that all bp saved until
we can complete our plans for collect-
ing.
