452 courses in Home Nursing were given by the Red Cross last year in Ontario. The total enrolment was 11,â€" C15, evidence of the interest shown in this work for the improvement of health and prevention of disease. Two refresher courses for the teachers of home nursing were also given. The movement to enrol 12,000 Ontario woâ€" men in the Red Cross Emergency Nursing Reserve is in full swing. Thousands of narcels packed with food are sent every week to British prisoners of war. Ontario Red Cross plays no small part in this work. These are but a few of the things the Red Cross has done and is doing. Each dav, new demands are made upon it. For almost two years it has manâ€" aged to get by without appealing to the general public. Now the Red Cross needs money. It needs money urgently to carry on its vital, indispensable war work. It needs money to maintain its peacetime serâ€" The Ontario Division contributed over $136,C00 for medical aid to Russia. COntario Junior Red Cross members played an imnportant part in donating fourteen mobile kitchen units, five amâ€" bulances and one station wagon to Britain. They were also in the van of the movement to assume financial responsibility for eight nurseries in England for bombed victims under five. Also they have joined in the giving of over 3,000 woollen blankets for use in Britain and in keeping a steady stream of clothing flowing to the moâ€" ther country. buth .. ~ 46 war ~»a~wi.smg men, and to advise re?atives accordingly. Since the beginâ€" ning of the war, some 4,000 requests have been received by the Ontario Division from persons wanting informâ€" ation about their kin serving in the armed forces. The fiscal year just nassed was outâ€" standing in Red Cross history for the reason that a vear when its war activiâ€" ties had been greatly increased, the Ontario Division was able to meet all calls unon it despite the fact that no general appeal for funds was made. The credit for this accomplishment rests with various branches throughout the Province, which, through their own fund raising efforts, have largely financed their local workâ€" rooms and contributed generously to the Division. The sum cf $63,011 was contributed by the branches, proof positive that the public sympathy ot the peoule of Ontario is loyally behind the Red Cross. Worthy of note is this â€"the total cost of the salaried staff in the Ontario Division represents less than 2‘%% of the money received, Even for volunteer service organizations this is an unusual achievement. Perhaps you would like to know how that 98¢ out of every $1 received is spent. In 1941, over one million comforts were made by the women of the 462 Red Cross Branches in Ontario. Material was supplied by the Red Cross. More than 7600 patients were cared for in the 30 outpost hospitals which serve sparselyâ€"populated sections of the Province. Some 6,364 sixteenâ€"ounce bottles of a sbecially fortified brand of Cod Liver QOil were distributed to Ontario school children. At the four Blood Donor Clinics in operation in the nast year, 31,747 donâ€" ations were given. More clinics are functioning now. This entails considâ€" erable exvense in medical help, instruâ€" ments and equipment.

They also noâ€" ticed that Blais had encircled one block, for no apparent reason. They finally stonped the car at the corner of Rae street and Commercial avenue after Blais had almost run into a pedestrian. First of the two drunk driving charges to be heard on Tuesday was one against Guilliaume Blais. He conâ€" ducted a very able defence on his own behalf but his story was not convincâ€" ing enough to earn him an acquittal. Blais didn‘t take the stand in his own behalf but called all three passengers who were in the car when he was stopâ€" ped by the police. At one time during the testimony of Dr. Paul Clermont, Blais almost won his freedom when the doctor refused to testify that the man had been too drunk to drive a car safely. He explained the various tests that he had put Blais through before reaching a decision and said that he had come to the conclusion that BRlais was in control of all his faculties although not perfectly. When asked by the crown if Blais was in any condition to drive a car safely the doctcr replied that he was practically certain that Blais could have driven the car but said that whether it would be driven safely was a matter of deterâ€" mining to what degree of recklessness the word safely depended on. He thought that the man could have drivâ€" en safely at the time that he was arâ€" rested, he said, because there wouldn‘t be much traffic on the street at that time of the night. Finally the doctor was shown a statement with his signaâ€" ture at the bottom and he admitted that he had signed the statement after his examination. The statement said that Blais was drunk and in no conâ€" diticn to drive a car safelyv. strange about the saw it swing ovf Most of the cases on the docket were for infractions of the Liquor Control Act. Also the Timmins volice conâ€" tinued their relentless drive against that tyue of motorist who continues to try and mix gasoline and liquor. An average of almost three charges of drunk driving have been appearing on the docket weekly and so far not one of those charged has been able to "beat the ran." This week two of the three who were charged were given terms of ten days in jail while the third was remanded at the request of the crown, who told the court that Mr. Kester, defence attorney, had asked for a week‘s remand as he was unable to be present.

This valley is on the citrus belt, with the main production that of grapeâ€"fruit. Speaking of the crops, he said that the crops are harvested in the daytime, and packed and shipped at night. These are mainly celery, tomatoes, carrots and beets. Reference was made to other features of this big state, the main point emphasized being the friendlness and the good humour of the Texans.

A specially interesting feature of Mr. Rowe‘s address was his description of alternate supply routes.

Temporary soluâ€" tion of the nroblem of transportation, of aid to China, said Mr. Rowe, may lie in the utilizing of Soviet roads and taking advantage of the munition facâ€" tories, and the steel works established by Russia Mr. Rowe‘s references to India anpear so valuable that they are given in more extended form elsewhere in this issue. A very popular part of Mr. Rowe‘s service to the Forum was the time he gave to answering questions. The members present found this period a very helpful and interesting one. gathered by Mr. Rowe has been securâ€" ed only from the most authentic scurces and carefully verified. In referring to the Burma Road, Mr. Rowe dealt first with its interestâ€" ing historical background, pointing out that at least as a smokey trail its hisâ€" tory went back over 4,000 years. In the thirteenth century Marco Polo used the old tribute route to explore China. When Janan attacked China, the Chinese found it imperative to rebuild the Burma Road, and Mr. Rowe gave a most interesting descripntion of the difficulties encountered before the work was finished. After his lucid explanâ€" ation of why and how the road was built, Mr: Rowe gave a very graphic description of the road, pointing out its vulnerabilitv. Its operational hisâ€" tory was cleverly outlined, with special reference to the Kochiu tin district and its importance. 3 About the Burma Road and Alternate Supply Routes The main feature at the Men‘s Forum in the United Church on Monday night was the very timely and illuminâ€" ating address by Mr. H.

Elsewhere in this issue there is a more extended reference to India.

While many of the men in the cast of "Ritzing the Blitz‘" were trades, facâ€" tory and office workers before they enâ€" listed, auite a few of the cast were men with high professional entertainâ€" ing records before the war. Sgt. Mel Keay, director of the show, was manager of Hart House Theatre in Toronto for ten yvears before enlistâ€" ing. He was also the founder of the Toronto Repertory Theatre and proâ€" duced a number of plays in London, England. Cpl. Bill Reid, the show‘s publicity man as well as being one of the comeâ€" dians, was a taxiâ€"driver and dockâ€" walloper, before starting a professional entertaining career. Lance Corporal Clem Hambourg was a member of the famous Hambourg Quartette and tourâ€" ed the world. Rex Doyle, singer, was a vocalist with dance bands in», the Unitâ€" ed States, relinauishing a lucrutive orâ€" chestro career to become a soldier. Donn Hudson, magician, was a wellâ€" known magician and illusionist throughout the North American conâ€" tinent before joining the Army. Eric Ainsworth, accompanist with the troupe, has played the piano with several bands thorughout the country. Sparkling comedv by "Slim" Burgess and "Red" Reid will guarantee to make the walls resound with laughter.

"Ritzing the Blitz" has been proof that soldiers can find and produce their own entertainment in their offâ€"duty hours, inspired as this particular group was by the famous concert parties of the last war and the encouragement of their commanding officer. The acâ€" tivities of "Ritzing the Blitz‘ has branched out to include Victory Loan entertaining and civilian appearances in aid,of raising funds for war work but its main activity is to entertain cemrades in various camps â€" duriny their offâ€"duty hours. It is also proof that the fighting services encourage wholesome diversion in a man‘s spare time, which is one of the reasons that discontent and grumbling are pretty well a minus quality in Canada‘s armâ€" ed forces. "Ritzing the Blitz" is known as a family show and it has good entertainâ€" ment for everybody in the family from 8â€"yearâ€"old Johnny to _ 80â€"yearâ€"old Grandma. The show was designed primarily to entertain the troops but has nroved so entertaining that it is now being shown before civilian audiâ€" ences. It is a show that is rarely seen except in large cities and no person should miss the opportunity of seeing it. In the show you see everything from Donn Hudson, the magician, down to four stately figures in satiny white, eighteenth century court cos tumes, dancing Paderewski‘s Minuet. ‘"Dumbells" in the last war, "Ritzing the Blitz" is an allâ€"soldier musical reâ€" vue, elaborately staged and with cosâ€" tuming in the girl numbers that is often breathâ€"takingly beautiful. "Ritzing the Blitz" has all the proâ€" fessional polish of a Broadway revue and many of the members of the cast have had theatrical experience on both sides of the Atlantic. This sparkling revue was first produced in Torontro, but wordâ€"ofâ€"mouth praise spread so quickly that it has been sent to most Canadian cities and always does a turnâ€"away business. Costume and direction are credited to Sgt. Mel Keay, formerly director of Hart House Theaâ€" tre, and later founderâ€"director of Torâ€" onto Repertory Theatre. Published in Timmins, Ont..
