WEIR MCALLISTER Red Cross Making Canvass Next iNoolh An appeal for 16,000,000 in vol- untary contributions to the work of the Red CBCSS Society will be launch* ed throughout Canada on May 11 and through the succeeding two weeks. This is the first appeal since October, 1940, to tue voluntary gen- erosity of the Canadian people. The Government of Canada recent- ly arranged to supply the funds needed by various War Service or- scription, and it is only by main- Cross Society waa necessarily ex- cluded from that arrangement. The reason for this is chat the Red Cross Society is International, its position rests upon the Conventions of Gen- eva, ratified by Act of Parliament. These require the Red Cross Society to be supported by voluntary sub- scription, and its is only by main- taining such support that the Can adian Red Cross Society can com- mand the rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed under Inter- national Law. No belligerant gov- ernment may finance the Canadian Red Cross Society; to do so would destroy the International status of the Society and even wipe out its immmnity under fire. Throughout the whole of the per- iod since the October, 1940, caim- | paign, the Canadian Red Cross Soc- iety has enjoyed unexampled co- operation at the hands of the people of Canada, the press, radio and the motion picture industry. Thousands of women in all parts of Canada have worked faithfully and unremit- tingly to supply the Red Cross Society with the materials that it needs to take care of the require- ment? of Canadian sridier? here and overseas, and to look after the needs of the sick and the suffering among the bombed-out population of Bri- tain, and to prepare for whatever eventuality may befall Canada itselfl. It is only through the Canadian Red Cross Society that any Canad- ian can do anything for a Canadian, Britis-h. Australian or New Zealand prisoner-of-war. It is only through the Canadian Red Cross Society's In- quiry Bureau and its facilities for international investigation that in- ft rmation may be obtained as to missing Canadian ng-hting men. It is only through the services of the Blood Donor branch of the Red Cross Society's work that those Canadians ' who are unable to fight, can supply bleed to make good some of that t shed by our fighting men overseas. The Red Cross is shipping 40.000 J parcels to prisoners-of-war each I week and has been asked to increase I these shipments to 80,000 per we- The cost of supplying prisoners-of- war parcels this year alone is more than $5.000.000. The active canvass is designed to commence on May Itth and conclude on Saturday. May 23rd. During the two weeks the Society hopes that at least $9.000.000 in cash and pledges will be collected from the Canadian people. iJ. fill! iend Maple Sugar 10 Navy League The annual election of officers of Flesherton Women's Institute waa held ai the home of Mrs. Alex.

Being an air raid warden has ad- ' - ; v !i can jro out at night :ini? it's a military secret. From now on farmers would be well advised to take particular care of sacks and bags they now have on hand. The spread of the war in the Orient has seriously affected the possibility of getting supplies of jute* the raw material from which th best baps and sacks are made. In fact it is going to be very difficult t),' get supplies of jute in any quan- tities. Jute comes principally from India and is used in various classes of textiles from fine fabrics tto coarse bagging, in cordage binding twine and to meet a variety of needs i-vn the farm. If you have a number of bags or sacks on hand, the first important measure to preserve them is to keep them dry. Damp rots burlap quickly. Take the bags you have, and odd iv.oces of burlap, shake them out and spread out in a dry place where you are sure rats and mice cannot get at them. Any kirn! of cotton or duck bae or sack should also be preserved You can mend any holes with the odd nieces of material you have, provid- ine of course, snch pieces are in gr-od condition. What supplies of burlap irtd canvas material are on haiwi are -eciuired for the fiarhtinar forces so ; t is advisable to take rare of any KITS or sacks, a? yoxt may not be able to eet any more and it looks as if you won't for a lone time.
