Without hospital facilities - of any
kind the town was at quite a disad-
vantage eompar•ed with other towns
and an endeavor was made to interest
some citizen to turn his house into a
hospital: A number of people were
interviewed who expressed sympathy
with the movement, but passed the
buck when it cause to using, their
home. Prospects were discouraging
when at the last moment Mr. Alex.
McLennan offered his house for hos-
purposes add his offer was glad-
ccepted. The house was entire -

RED CROSS IS RELIEVING
COCHRANE'S DISTRESS
•
The municipality of Cochrane is
suffering from an outbreak of typhoid
fever, which has laid low nearly one
quarter (800) of the population, The
municipality has done its best in
meeting the emergency, but its finan-
cial resources de not permit it to car-
ry on the work. It has appealed to
the Ontario Red Cross for help.
The RedCross has taken over the
typhoid hospital with its 80 beds and
20 nurses, and also the general relief
work for the sick and convalescent
in their homes. To supply' the medi-
cal and nursing care that is absolute-
ly necessary, and to meet even the
minimum demands for proper food
and other needs for those who are e
convalescing, will require at least
$75,000.00,,
The Red Cross stands ready to help
any community suffering from dis- d
aster demanding assistance beyond c
the abilityof the municipality, but it
is dependent upon the funds placed r
in its hands by the individuals and D
municipalities of the provinces.
The capacity of the Red Cross to
distribute this money so that the need R
is met and the heart of the people t
satisfied is unquestioned.
Won't you'help us to assist your
sister municipality in her hour of iv
need by giving a donation, which may
dent, conducted the opening exercises

ers secretary's report, 1A vote of
thanks was tendered to the Junior

lowed by a reading by Mrs, Knight,
and a topic on "The Life of J
