In speaking to the executive of the Timmins branch Dr. Caldwell dwelt on certain points and phases of Red Cross work. One of the prinâ€" cipal points which he discussed was the recent decision of the officials of the Canadian Red Cross Society with reâ€" gard to the National War Charities Fund. Red Cross is essentially an orâ€" ganization to take care of emergencies in peace time as well as in war time. it serves as an auxiliary to the governâ€" ment, and it holds itself ready to give immediate assistance whenever and in whatever way the government may ask it to do so. This may be in time of earthquakes, fire, flood, general epâ€" idemic or during the greatest of all natâ€" al disaster Since it is impossble to foresee what the needs are to be or how extensive they might prove, the Red Cross cannot arrange a budget for any given time. Because of its very natâ€" ure and its purpose the Canadian Red Cross felt that it couuid serve more efâ€" fectively and promptly if it were allowâ€" ed to hold its campaign for funds sepâ€" arately from other organizations.

More than one half of the Dominion objecâ€" tive has been accounted for in Onâ€" tario. Dr. Caldwell expressed himself very well pleased with the results of the local campaigns, and with the general work beingdmebytm:Red Cross in the Ppaorenupigne distr. C No other organization possesses such widespread powers by which it can give similarly widespread benefits. Dr. Caldwell told of quantitiee of tetanus vaccine which the Canadian Red Cross recently shipped to England to guard against lockjaw in the treatâ€" ment of wounds received during aerial bombing. But Red Cross forms the only link beâ€" tween those unfortunate men and their home lands. It is the only possible means of communication. By its Inâ€" ternational Agreemments the Red Cross has the right to install in Germany, or in any other enemy country, an interâ€" national Red Cross officer from a neuâ€" tral country. In each camp is a man chosen from amongst the prisoners to act as Camp Commandant. He repreâ€" sents the prisoners and is their spokesâ€" man in talking to the International Red Cross Officer, when he can tell of camp conditions and treatment. _ In this war the International officers are American and Swiss.

Corvette of Canadian Navy to be Named in Honour of Cobalt As Mayor Brunette suggests, it is a good idea all round. If the naval authorities need a distinctive name for one of the new vessels, © "Timmins‘" would be a good one for the purpose. Mr. Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., might make a note of the suggcstion.
