Senator Wilson stressed the importâ€" ance of good health at all times, and especially in this time of war.

Hitler Losing the War by Applying Science in Reverse. Brilliant Review of Work of Victorian Order of Nurses, by Distinguished Speaker at Annual Meeting. Officers Elected for 1942. The speaker mentioned that ove? half of all Canada‘s Victorian Order branches were in Ontario, and wer manned by capable, traingd nurses., Fourteen of these nurses enlisted durâ€" ing 1941 for Active Service, and, said, Senator Wilson, it can be expected that many more will go on active service during this year of 1942. Trained nurses are needed at all times, and their duties are of even greater imâ€" portance during this time of war. ‘Télling"of the war effort, Senator Wilson went on to shbw how Britain had changed her currency basis from dollars and cents, bonds and stocks, to health for all her people. In time of ir, more than ever before, the peopl!® wolrilain realized the necesisity for Dauhnealth, and they were willing to omm E!ll organizations that could help of theg‘aining the health standards. to the past few years, the Vicâ€" ‘ofiain" Order has received more paying patients, and yet, despite the fact that the number of patients has increased, the great efficiency of ‘the nursing staffs, has decreased the number . cf calls. Senator Wilson emphasized the busy life of the Victorian Order Nurse, stating that her life was very varied, as she tended to the health problem frcm all possible points. Health is no longer a matter of individual concern, but a matter that must be in charge of such a unit as the V.ON. or other similar organization. In closing her address;, the Senaor stressed the fact that prevention is more imporiant than cure. Mrs. A. A. Rose, corresponding secretary, thanked the sipeakes for her very in‘eresting talk, and for coming to Timmins to this annual meeting, and W. S.

Canada A truly remarkable amount of work was done last year by the Women‘s War Work Committee of the Eastern Porâ€" cupine District Branch of the Red Cross as shown by the report read by the chairman, Mrs. R. E. Dye, at the annual meeting held last week at Soutch Poreuâ€" pine. The report is given herewith in fUll :~â€" a. Report of War Work Committee at Annual Meeting Last Week Shows Remarkable Work Done by Workers of the Branch. Followed Many Lines of Helpful Activity. Report of War Work Committee Porcupine Red Cross It is a pleasure for me to revort toâ€" night on the activities of the Women‘s War Work Committee of the Eastern Porcupine District Branch of the Red Cross. We have worked very hard to make our Branch a success and I am sure that all who contributed in any way enjoyed doing it. Our sewing and kniiting quotas during the pas,;, year have been large, but we have managed to do what has been asked of us. Most of our sewing has ‘been for British civilians who have been bombed, though much has been done also to help those who have gone into various branches of the service. The main part of the knitting has been for the armed forcesâ€"Army, Navy and Air Force. Some has been done for Woâ€" mens; Auxiliary Forces in England and some for civilians. ! ‘The Public School boys and girls Ihave ‘been knitiing afghans and sewâ€" lmv quilt tops. ; It has been aA 1ea1 pleasure for me \to have worked with these groups and to find everyone so iwilling to help out iin every iway possible. Too much credit cannot be given to committees which have been so diliâ€" gent in furthering the work of the Branch. The Knitting, Sewing and Purchasing Committees have had much to do and have done their work well. I wish here to thank these committees along with the various units; which work at our rooms in South Porcupine, at Golden City, the High School, Pubâ€" lic Schools at South Porcupine and Dome, and at the various mines. These "mines" units are working at Ankerite, Preston East Doms, Paymasser, Dome, Pamour and Hallnor. Many of the ladies serving on‘ the committees and working with the units mentioned have been working continuously since the Branch was Oorganized in November, 1939â€"though among them are some new faces, which are most welcome. I wish to mention at this point the new High School Unit which is under the supervision of Miss Wilkins, with Mrs. A. Cumming instructing in knilâ€" ting and Mrs. Setonâ€"Adamson helplng the girls with their quilting. Another group have been making ward slippers. The girls are very enthusiastic and are doing excellent work. A list in detail of the work done by the Women‘s War Work Committee, which, of course, includes all the workâ€" ers in all the units, is as follows: Sewing Quotaâ€"Civilianâ€" Women‘sâ€"18 yrs. 24â€"Long capes 80â€"Blouses 80â€"Pairs slacks 61â€"Knee length coats. 26â€"Pairs shorts 33â€"Blazers 30â€"Knee length coats 62â€"Pinafore dresses 134â€"Blouses 56â€"â€"Bloomers 171â€"Shirts 63â€"Pairs shorts 103â€"Jackets 40â€"Pairs long trousers 41â€"Windbreakers Boys‘â€"12 yrs 43â€"Pairs long trousers 86â€"Shirts 43â€"Jackets 47â€"Skirts 04â€"â€"Blouses 45â€"Skirts 90â€"Blouses 50â€"Suits pyJ 40â€"Wool ( 6{Qâ€"Pairs\| 30â€"Coats 30â€"Berets 20â€"Blouse pyjamas 9â€"pairs pyjJama tro 31â€"â€"bedgowns 31â€"â€"bed Jacketb 140â€"towels 148â€"sheets 300â€"ahbdominal bindeéer 72â€"â€"laundry badgs 20â€"Pinafore dresses 24â€"Layettes containing: 3â€"shirts 3â€"nightgowns 2â€"knitited jJackets 1â€"bonnet 2â€"pairs booties 18Bâ€"diapers 1â€"blanket 1â€"mother‘s gown 12â€"safety pins 1â€"iwash cloth, soap and old linen 88Bâ€"pads. sSsewing (nonâ€"quota) â€"Civilian 4â€"child‘s dresses 2â€"women‘s dresses 1â€"pair slippers (knitted tops) 4â€"aprons 1â€"â€"boy‘s blazer (2 years) 2â€"Bberets 2â€"girl‘s coats (2 years) 10â€"suits child‘s pyjamas 12â€"pairs bloomers 1â€"boy‘s suit (2 yvears) YÂ¥ERY THURSD quilts ‘WOVEeTL WOmmE jlou s pyjJamas.

Each box contained a knitted article (socks, gloves or aero cap) and various other articles donated by individuals The ladies of this Branch would like to thank all who contributed the articles and cake inâ€" cluded in these boxes, and those at the Dome Office who compiled the lists and addressed the parcels. A great many letters of appreciation have come in acknowledging receipt of these parcels and siill more letl‘ers are coming in almost daily. A call was sen}; in by Headquarters at Toronto to our Branch early last year asking us to send money for the purchase of winter coats for Brivish Civilians. This was turned over to Mr. Stovel, the President, and $100.00 was sent for this purpose. The call for blankets was also given to the President and money was sent for the purchase of ‘blankets, Several people donated blankets or money, which all wen; forward to Headquartâ€" ers. While we have turned out a great deal of workâ€"as our report would like to hove many more ladies take an interest and help either by sewing or knitting. The ladies who are working cannot be asked to do more, all are working hard, bu‘j we feel that there are a lot; who haven‘t taken this work seriously and we would like to have more help to do the work giv«â€" en us ‘This report is submitted with pride in the ladies .of this area who have done so much to make this year successful one. In writing a report such as this, givâ€" ing an account of voluntary efforts of the people, it is impossible to mention all who have contributed. I wish, however, to acknowledge the fac‘t that many people have contributed most generously of their time to assist in making our regular shipments, in packing and addressing parcels for the armed forces, and in ,preparing displays which were, through the kindâ€" ness: of Marshallâ€"Ecclestone, made in their show window. I believe that all who have in any way contributed to the work feel that we have done something really worth while to further the war efforis of our Empire and to bring some comfort to those who have lost everyching as a result of the war.
