The newspapers of Britain are con- stantly publishing letters expressing gratitude to the Canadian Red Cross for its contributions of food, cloth• ing and blankets. Let us quote from Just one of them. It was written by an official of the Charity Organiza- tion Society, tine official society handling relief in the distressed arenas in Britain- It reads in part; "it wee not only that the Canadian Recd Cross supplies were just what we needed, but they reached us when the need was greatest. The people of Canada. should ]snow that their generosity has saved the lives of babies who night have suffered sadly from cold and hunger and that it has given thousands of people a fresh stat't.
