Womans World By Caroline Ion There are very few of us who are unaware of the Red Cross during a time of disaster They are among the first at a disaster scene But frequently the public is not well acquainted with their routine activities In the back ground many projects are carried on which do not receive general attention Such is the case in the Newmarket branch Canadian Red Cross The clicking of knitting needles or the sounds of many sewing machines do not carry far The work goes on steadily and even the workers themselves are am azed at the quantity of articles produced when the totals are re ported at the annual meeting When the floods caused their recent havoc in Holland Belgium and England the Red Cross across Canada depleted its stores to send needed supplies to these peoples
