Consequently the supply of blood plasma is gradually being depleted and the necessity for more blood donors is greater than ever before in this war, The Red Cross of Cartwright de- cided at the annual meeting to appeal directly, through the mails to all homes in the township for volunteers for blood donations. If you are already a blood donor (and a goodly number in the township are) this appeal is not for you; but if you have not vet made a contribution to this life- saving project will you not seriously consider doing so at this time? The giving of blood is neither painful nor injurious to a healthy adult, and only such will be accepted. Persons between the ages of 18 and 60 are eligible. Your local merchant, or Mrs. Arthur Bajley, Blackstock, will receive your name, and will for- ward it to the clinie, from which you will receive information regarding the donation.

These. little pigs won't be ready for market for a few weeks yet--but with all the fine growthy development they're showing now,--it won't be long till they're on their way to Britain 'as Select Grade Wiltshires---to boost the reputation for Canadian Bacon that Canadian Farmers have been building on' the overseas market for the past five years! . Well-informed hog growers know that careful feeding 'of the young pigs, from the first nibble they take, makes the difference between econom- ical gains that ensure profits, and unprofitable, long-term feeding. Baby pigs will start to look around for solid food at three weeks of age. If you don't give them their own, they'll try their mother's ration. Then is the time to get them feeding right -- which means creep feeding of SHUR-GAIN Pig Starter--the baby pig feed that has the well-balanced content of proteins, minerals and vitamins that are needed by every young 'pig. : SHUR-GAIN 189% Pig Starter costs you less--because we make it FRESH at our own mill --which means tremendous savings in trucking and 'handling that are passed along to you in better quality feed at-lower cost!

Many people, including members of the Canadian Red Cross, have asked us what our job will be if the war should suddenly end. We reply that we can only see ahead greater responsibilities than ever. Both in Europe and at home the work' of the Red Cross must go on. The war will not bring an end to suffering and warit, to the care of our Prisoners of War, to our Wounded, and to the millions whose homes and way of life have been dislocated by strife. We therefore feel that every Canadian has a right to some knowledge of what our responsibilities will be in the event of peace, and just how we propose to discharge those sespongihilitias. We treat each of our main activities under its- respective heading. PRISONERS OF WAR--With the end of hostilities our Prisoners of War will automatically cease to be Pri- soners. Chaos and breakdown in Germany will prob- ably, cnsue. The German state will cease to care for them. They will become wards of the Allied General in command of the Occupation Forces. Transportation "will be difficult, and it will probably take a minimum of six months to repatriate the 2,400,000 Canadian, British.and Allied Prisoners in German Camps. The need of Prisoners' Parcels and Medical Supplies will be doubled. They will be distributed by the- Allied Command, and will play a vital part in feeding our 'men, pending repatriation. After the magnificent job we have done during the last five years we cannot let our boys in German prison camps down. Our Prisoners in the Far East will also be a continuing responsibility. "We must carry on until every man is back home, 'EUROPE'S STARVING MILLIONS -- The job of feeding Europe's hungry millions 'is staggerng in its immen- sity, Over 17,000,000 humans have been torn from their homes. - Many have nowhere to rest their weary heads. They are starving. Malnutrition is the rule rather than the exception. There will be an urgent need for food, clothing and medical supplies. The Red Cross in these stricken countries are utterly dependent on their sister socicties for supplies to meet these dire needs. Can we let them down? The Canadian Red Cross must go onl RED CROSS WORK WITH OUR ARMED FORCES -- Until the last Canadian soldier has left Europe and has been discharged from hospital, there will be important work for the Red Cross to do. How long this will be we do nnt know, but one thing we are certain of and that is that every Canadian at home will want to make sure that our boys will be as well looked after with the coming of peace as they were in war. The care of the wounded both in Europe and Canada is,a permanent responsi bility which we cannot evade. No Canadian wants to evade it. Here again the Red Cross must go on! BLOOD SERUM SERVICE -- Red Cross Blood Serum has saved countless lives in battle. The end of the war will see the end of painful war wounds. The demand for serum on the fighting fronts, except the Far East, will cease.. But the Red Cross Blood Serum Service should ~~ "be continued for civilian use. If the Red Cross makes it freely available it can save thousands of the lives of our own civilian citizens when war has ended. [4 OUTPOST HOSPITALS, CHILDREN'S CLINICS AND DISTRICT NURSING SERVICE--This is part of the Red Cross service to civilians in Canada. It is carried out in the sparsely settled parts of the Dominion, and it must go on. FIRST AID AND HOME NURSING SERVICE-- One of the finest peacetime activities of the Canadian Red Cross. It is truly a worth-while work and must go on. TEACHING CANADIANS HOW TO BE BETTER NOURISHED --There is important work yet to be done in the matter of Nutrition. Thousands of Canadians are not eating the proper food. Their health could be improved immeas- urably. The Canadian Red Cross has undertaken to educate where ¢ education is necessary. This work must go on. PREPARATION TO MEET EPIDEMIC OR DISASTER -- lu case of these twin evils the Red Cross is always first on the job. For this reason alone the Red Cross must 80 on.
