WORK OF LAST YEAR What has the Red Cross been doing in Oshawa over the past year? An Emervency and Dicaster Ser- vice under the chairmanship of Mr. R. F. Aker, has been set up in Osh- awa. Twentv towns in the three Counties of Durham, "Northumber- land and Optario, come within the | Oshawa District with Cobourg, Port | Hope, Bowmanville and Oshawa the main centres. The Disaster Com- mittee has accurate lists of do-tors and nurses available for an emer- gency, also lists of shops and ware- houses where blankets, sheets, beds. food, truck and ambulance could be acquired on short notice. The Commissioner in Toronto also has avthority to renuisition such sup- plies as tents, field kitchens, cots | and mattresses, Headquarterf in| Toronto have at least 200. blankets on hand at all times and are pre- pared to forward these, or any por- tion required, at a moment's notice. The Emergency and Disaster Committee so far has been purely a peace time body and demands on the service had been small. The Ci- vilian Defence program in Oshawa was in the process of co-ordination and as the plans developed the Red Cross would have a definite place in the set up. ROTARY..COTTAGE The Rotary Red Cross cottage, located at the west end of Lakeview Park, was again turned over to the Children's Aid Society for the sum- mer months of 1951. During July and August the resident wards of the Children's Aid enjoyed a good holiday there and Red Cross con- tributed $100.00 towards the ex- penses incurred. WATER SAFETY PROGRAM The Oshawa Branch participated in the National -Red Cross Swim- ming and Water Safety program by combined efforts with the CRA Rotary Club and Board of Educa- tion. Using Ritson Road and Ro- tary pools, the program was super- vised by CRA which provided five instructors holding Red Cross quali- fications. With three instructors at Rotary Pdol and two at Ritson Road, an average of 500 children each day was looked after. During the year Red Cross sup- plied the local Board of Health with 10,000 capsules of cod liver oil for distribution to underprivileged children, mostly: at Simcoe Hall, and the Oshawa Branch also con- tinued to handle enquiries for re- latives in mid-Europe. . It was also reported that the Ju- nior Red Cross had 80 Juninor Red Cross organizations in the Oshawa public schools with cver 3,000 chil- dren registered. The Oshawa Branch in the "past assisted the Ontario Division by ac- cepting quotas' covering clothing for children in D.P. camps, also warm bedding and clothing to assist with the many calls in times of disaster. Four hundred articles of clothing have been made by the sewing Chap- ters: 48 veils have been made for volunteer workers at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, also 400 knitted articles have been completed by Red Cross knitters. i Red Cross Homemakers have taken its service into 177 homes and cared for 322 children. They have |} worked a total of 1361 days and many families have been refused help for lack of staff. The sunervi- sor, Miss Doris Moore, Rez.N.. in the course of her duties has made 994 visits and 3,017 telephone calls 'were received. Twenty-nine calls had been received from local doc- tors, four from nursine service 42 from families and two from other agencies in the city. The total exvense to the Red Cross Societv last year was $8,428.77. Fees collected amounted to $2,998.99, leaving a deficit to he made up by the Society of $5,429.78. The Red Cross Welfare Commit- tee worked closelv with the Oshawa Welfare Derartment, the Women's Welfare Leacue (Familv Welfare Board) the Board of Health, the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Can- cer Society, the Churches and the Service clubs of the city and when | requests were received for supnole. | mentary helo for families of vet- erans immediate communication was made with Red Cross Headquarters, Ontario Division, and with the Oe- partment of Veterans' Affairs so that the case might be dealt with wisely. In the éase of displaced persons from other countries, direct contact had been made with the International Social Service De- partment in New York City, she said. When the "Disaster" Committee of the Red Cross has been ap- proached for emergency relief, the Welfare Ccmmittee has been able to assist in providing bedding, clothing (new and used), hospital supplies, and in some instances, furniture and cooking utensils. In the 1951 Community Chest budget, the Canadian Red Cross Society has been given an allot- ment of $175,000, which will be used, not only to finance the work of the Oshawa Branch of the Society, but also to enable the local 'branch to meet its obligations for support of the national organization.
