All through the year, the Red Cross, the Women‘s Institute, The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, the Salvation Army Red Shield, the Legion, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, and numerous others, in .Timmins and district have devoted hours, days, and weeks to work for the soldiers, sailors, and men of the Air Force, in knitting, sewing, making bandages, and sending parcels of foods and other necessities and special "treats‘‘ from home. The members of all service clubs in the district have done everyâ€" thing possible to help in the one thought that is uppermost in the minds of all Canadians, this war must be won. â€" At the Christâ€" mas season, each year, these clubs go beyond their normal capaâ€" city of work, and add to their quota with extra Christmas gifts to the men on active service, to former members, to relatives and friends, and to men of this district who miay be without other parcels. No one is forgotten, and each club coâ€"operates in the work. The Kinettes, besides their regular work for the sailors of the Thornwick Bay, sent these men twelve boxes of Christmas speâ€" cials, containing one hundred and twenty pounds of wearables and eatables. An example of what some of the clubs are doing this Christâ€" mas of 1941; is contained in the following lines. The Easy Aces Club held a dance and donated the proceeds to the sending of three hundred cigarettes to one hundred and ten men from this district now on active service. The Women‘s Institute, which regularly cares for the needs of the sailors on the ship "Gaspe," sent out twentyâ€"two extra parcels for the relatives and friends of members in service in Canada. Many other parcels were sent overseas, and on Friday the members packed further gifts for the sailors of the Gaspe. Climate:â€"Healthy and dry.
