The Seaforth News, 1941-01-16, Page 4PAGE FOUR THE SEAFORTH NEWS THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 194' Til': SEAH i il. t I X E\V WALTON The following is a financial report 0f the eoutt4bntiou of the Walton community in the work of the 'Red Cross Society for the year beginning January 1st. 1940, Personal subscrip- tions to the national campaign, $302,65; proceeds of concert for the national campaign, $49; the War Service Unit, donations, $149,25; U. F.W.O., donation, $30: three dona- tions from Community Hall Commit- tee, $87.72. The total being $618.62. Besides this there were many dona- tions of blankets, quilts, clothing for refugees. etc_, which will be reported in the work done during the year. It is to the credit of this community that this splendid contribution to the Red Cross has been made without conducting any morally doubtful means of raising funds, The great work of the Red Cross is so well and favourably known to all citizens that it deserves the generous and whole hearted support of all. We would like to thank all for their support and itt- terest in this work and especially the fourteen Wren who mu duet oil the canvass for the national campaign. The need for supplies is still very urgent and all who can work are asked to get yarn and sewing regu- larly front their chard( group or from Mrs. Herb Kirkby. The following letter has been re- ceived from Jack Drager in ack- nowledgment for a parcel sent early itt November. The letter was mailed an November 24th and reached Wal- ton early in January. Dear Friends: 1 just received your much appreciated parcel and it vele taialy was good to hear from you people, especially when I heard from YoU in the term of a parcel from home. The contents left nothing to be desired, and showed great care in selection and packing. You will be pleased to learn that everything in the package was in excellent condi- tion and not damaged in the least. I have been very fortunate in that re- spect so far; I have received all my mail in perfect condition and none of it was lost. You can't imagine how much the boys over here appreciate getting a payee 1 front someone in Canada. It isn't so much the material value of the parcel but the fact that someone back home is thinking of them. Also there are always it few small Canadian confections which we can't buy anywhere over here: they seem of little value to 700 people, but they are greatly treasured by our boys when they get a parcel from home. I am referring to such things as chewing -gum and ehoeolate bars, and must thank you for patting plenty In my parcel. There i$ not much I could tell about the war which you wouldn't already know so I won't attempt to tell you any- thing. I must say this though. it is really remarkable how well the civil- ian population is carrying on under the strain of "The Battle of Britain," especially the women of Loudon. They certainly deserve all the praise they are getting and then some. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years. Thanking you again, I remain, yours gratefully, JACK DRAGFJR This is Jack's address. We give it in case his friends may wish to write to him: B-81812 Sgt. Drager J. C., R.C.A.S.C.
