The meeting`. in the Opera House on Thursday evening last- to infuse -new interest in Red ` Cross work brought out `~ an splendid crowd, in spite of a very /-cold night. Great.intere.st was 1 taken in the addresses given. The Soldiers Aid `girls dressed as Red Cross_ni.1rses, acted as ushers, and made a pretty picture, after wards eusconcing' themselves in ` the boxes to knit and listen. The 177th Battalion Band rendered several patriot.ic selections which were greatly appreciated. The chairnian oi` the evening` was . Judge Vance. In his opening re- marks he said that this was not. a mutual admiration meeting , but a meeting to still further ad- vance the splendid interest Bar- rie has taken in the past in Red Cross work.

Many of the soldiersare deprived of their kit bags and these con- tain just what they most need.. ` `I 1_.,_.'A- LL- Mrs. Plumptre said despite the little scolding _the `chairman had given the Barrie Society, she wanted to congratulate them on the specially good lines they work on, their work being-on the scale of `cities and large towns. Mrs. Calderwood, she said, was one of the. most altogether sat- isfactory Presidents in Ontario, and this speech rqceived ap- ' plause quite in keeping with that good lady s splendid work here. The speaker drew attention to the five squares in the RcdC-ross, the four arms joinedhy a cen- tral square. She here explained I that the Society was organized by a Swiss gentleman, who had seen the wounded lefton the battlefield to die and gave up his whole life to founding the So- ciety.. As a `compliment to Swit- , zerland, whose ag is "a white cross on a red ground, the syin- bol taken was the reverse, a red cross on a white ground. At first it was a purely voluntary society then the pendulum swung to. the ' other extreme and- became a purely military organization, the Army Medical Corps, and finally remained in the centre and com- bined the `two. We voluntary workers, must not think we are the whole show. Some of the best surgeons in Canada` have given Lup large practices and; accepted a much lower pay to go where they are most needed. ` We are behind this splendid.`-Canadian Army Medical Corps, who wear the hrassiere of the Red Cross.` We are an auxiliary. How dowe assist? Wherever there is a hospital or dressing station, a Red:-Cross storeroom is erected. .l. A. Madmen. Editor W. 0. Walls.
