Quoting from the report of Mrs. Harrison, Local Chairman of Women‘s War Work:â€"‘"This sewing is done under supervision, and is a credit to the workers‘. There has been very little activity in the department for surgical supplies and dressings. This work has been curtailed as much as possible in favour of more urgent needs. Mrs. W. J. McCovy, who is in charge of the making of refugee clothing, wishes particularly to express appreâ€" ciation and thanks for the splendid coâ€" operation of the women who have been working on the quota of garments alâ€" lotted by Headquarters to be made in this Branch. The local convenors and superyvisors did not decided ‘on what the garments should be. That decision was made for them by Headquarters, knowing what was needed and feeling that the Branch would coâ€"operate. The ladies working for the Timmins Brancsh have â€" certainly _ n#gnifiâ€" cently, even though at times the work was quite hard and a bit unfamiliar to a number of them. But with plenty of supcrvision by the more experienced sewers it has come along splendidly without waste of material or of time. The quota is nearing completion; and as Headquarters extended the time for all Branches, it will be done within the required period: Special mention must be made too Oof the eager groups who All branches have had requests from Headquarters to supply knitted garâ€" ments and comforts for the Women‘s Auxiliary forces in England. These brave women are working side by ‘side with the Men‘s Auxiliary Forces, doing very arduous tasks of motor driving, ambulance work, first aid, and even coastal guard duty. They are exposed to the Wintry weather and are badly in need of the knitted comforts. The Committee in charge of war work has decided that the Timmins Branch should make fifty, each of the articles listedâ€"sleeveless Vâ€"neck sweaters, gockâ€" eces, kneeâ€"length . stockings, knitted bloomers, bed socks, comfort bags and laundry bags. The wool and instrucâ€" tions for the knitted articles will be obtainable at the Red Cross Wool Room in the Municipal Building. The comfort bags and laundry bags will be made at the sewing rooms. The regular monthly meeting of the cxecutive of the Timmins Branch of the Red Cross Socicty was held Thursâ€" day eveninz, Nov. 14th. The main deâ€" cisions made by the meeting were thost to send $10,000.00 of the cash donations received during the campaign to Headâ€" quarters immediately; and for the Comunittee for War Work to underâ€" take the making of garments for the women workers in the Auxiliary Forces In England. The Treasurer‘s report showed a balance in the bank on October 31ist oi 99,909.59. During October a transfer of $10,000 had been made from the Campaign account to the current acâ€" count. Suflicient moncy will be reâ€" ceived each month from pledges to carry on the Women‘s War Work, the regular Welfare work, and to provide Timmins Red Cross Doing Notable Work in Making Clothing for Refugees a small surplus for local emergentcy meeds. The accounts paid during the month of October amounted to $464.95. These were made up of bills for hosâ€" pital supplies, wool, material for refuâ€" gee clothing; telephone, stationery, stenographer and cleaning of work rooms; and an item for di@ntal work, and so socks both of which were reâ€" quests made to the Branch by the offiâ€" cers in charge of the early recruiting in Timmins on behalf of the men ‘*who had enlisted. A shipment of socks had just been sent to Headquarters when the urgent request came to us for socks to fill the immediate needs of the men here.. In sutch an emergency the exeâ€" cutive decided to buy the necessary number of socks locally. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 218T. 1946 Difficult Work Carried Out.in Effective Way.

Miss Mayowna Speaks to 1.0.D.E. on Czechoslovakia Owing to the large amount of work done by the members during the year, the December meeting will not be held, and the next meeting will thus take place on the third Tuesday of. January. n the absence of Mrs. Dorway, conâ€" vener, correspondence from the Instiâ€" tute for the Blind was read and dealt with. Miss Mayowna, Women‘s missionary sozial worker of the United Church for the Porcupine camp, was guest speakeor at the November meeting of the I1.0O. D.E. held on Tuesday evening in the St. John Aimbulance hall. For her topic, Miss Mayowna chose the historiâ€" cal, geographical and general national development of her native land of Czechoslovakia. Primarily doing nursing duty in Czechoslovakia, Miss Mayowna speaks several languages, and her services in Warsaw, Poland, were greatly appreciâ€" ated by the United Church. Later, the United Church invited Miss Mayowna to come to Canada, where her first post was at a Canadian port of entry, welâ€" coming strangers to Canada. For some time she was missionary worker in Hamilton, and later in Kirkland Lake, from where she was sent to the Porâ€" cupine camp. Illustrating her remarks on the map, of Europs, Miss Mayowna showed Lhat' Czechoslovakia had been geogxaplncal- ly the most central of European counâ€" ] tries, and therefore formed the heart| of Europe. For centuries, two counâ€" tries had formed the regoin which in 1918 united to become Czechoslovakia. Because Of its democratitc printiples,| its freedom of religion and political life, it had been a peaceful and prosâ€"| perous country, and a country preparâ€" ed to defend itself. By the developâ€"| ment of industrial armament factories | it had perfected the large tanks which | Germany has used to destroy ‘Poland, France, and the Netherlands; but surâ€"| rounded as it was by similar countries| who were not so strong, Czechoslovakia could not hope to stand out Germany‘s greed and her expansion programme, without the support of| strong ailies. This support, unfortunâ€"| ately, was denied, and Czcchoslovakiu? had to yield to the inevitable. | Mrs. Wheeler read the, obituary triâ€" bute as given in "Echoes" the official I.O0O.D.E. publication, to the life and work of the late President of the Onâ€" tario Provincial Chapter, Mrs.. Wm. Morrison, of Hamilton; and Mrs. Allen, hospital convener, presented the reâ€" quirements for this work. The history of this nation‘s steady progress to a cultured, prosperous inâ€" aependent land, was depicted by Miss Mayowna, who spent many years in her native land as well as travelling through Europt. She can well be conâ€" sidered an authority on the subject, and her address was greatly appreciatâ€" ed by the members. In concluding, the guest speaker inâ€" vited the members of the Imperial Orâ€" der, Datughters of the Empire, to a Czechoâ€"Slovakian afternoon to be held in the United Church On the afternoon of December 6th, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Contemporary Londoners are worthy ;of their ancestors; and the appointâ€" of a minister of building shows that the British nation is determined that out of the present trial an even greater â€"city shall arise, beautified by ithe aspirations, and strengthered by the courage of its citizensâ€" Christian !Science Monitor.
