Canadian Red Cross Haszl‘immins Police Aid in Investigation of Sent Four Million Articles Kirkland Robbery to British Bomb V ictims Not Only Do the Articles Serve a Great Need, but Appreâ€" ciation of the Time and Labour Involved Cheers and Comforts the Recipients. Some Expressions of British Eastern Porcupine Red Cross, The Adâ€" vance is taking this opportunity of calling special attention to a phase of Red Cross work that is perhaps not generally realized. The Fastern Porâ€" cupine Red Cross has forwarded a copy of the report of the 56th meeting . of the Central Council as given by the "Voice of the Red Cross" recently. Inâ€" stead of being a dry recital of resoluâ€". tions and proceedings this report is a human document that should have the, thoughtful attention of all patriotic people. The chief point in the report, in the opinion of The Advance, is the fact that it shows so clearly the value of ‘‘he Red Cibss work in a very special way. Of course, everybody realizes that in sending 4,000,000 articles to Britain in the short space of six months, the Red Crozs has very materially helped gallant and courageous people of thiat beleagued island. But letters of appreâ€" ciation of all this from the Britigh peoâ€" ple themselves stress another pointâ€" the fact that the quality as well as the quantity of the articles indicate an immense amount of time and labour given by Canadian women: to the great cause. "The knowledge that our Canâ€" adian sisters willingly expend so much time and labour on our behalf not only awakens or deepest gratitude, it inâ€" spires us anew with hope and courâ€" age," says a British newspaper in reâ€" ferring to "Canadian Women‘s Gifts." It is easy to understand the inspiraâ€" tion that comes from this appreciation of the time and labour of Canadian woâ€" men, and because of this appreciation workers here might well be spurred to even greater efforts for the Canadian Red Cross. The 56th meeting of Central Council of the Canadian Red Cross was held in Toronto last week. {Meetings are often looked upon as dull affairsâ€"but not so the warâ€"time meetings of the Canadian Red Cross. It takes meetâ€" ings of this type to bring together and reflect the many illuminating facets of the Red Cross war effort,. Statistics, usually dry reading, take on fire when they are linked to such allâ€"important matters as ‘"Relief for bombed victims in Britain," "Help for our soldier patients," ‘"Parcels for prisoners of war," and to any one of the many cther phases of our Red Cross work. Here is the report in full as given by the Voice of the Red Cross. Be sure to read it through. It would be difficult for anyone, knowing Britain‘s tragic needs, to listâ€" en, unmoved, to Mrs. W. R. Campbell‘s report that approximaitely four million articles, resulting from the untiring patriotic efforts of hundreds of thousâ€" ands of Canadian women, were shipped nverseas between January 1st and June 30th of this yearâ€"four million articles in six short months sent into every part of the British Isles, every them with a Canadian Red Cross label atâ€" tached to let these courageous know that Canada was with them heart and soul at this critical hour in the Empire‘s destiny.

The memâ€" bers in charge of the event are Comâ€" rades A. Jenkin and Al Wetmore, and with these two live wires and after talâ€" ent the event should be a real topâ€" notcher. Some of the Legion smokers have been the means of bringing to light some very clever artists, and also have been highly educative. One espeâ€" cially, last year, commenced with a musical overture of an operatic selecâ€" tion. This seemed to be the ground work for the entire programme and those present were treated to such favourites as "I1 Trorature," the "Treador Song" from Carmen, "When Other Lips" from Maritana, and other vocal and instrumental selections Oof a similar nature, the evening climaxing with the ‘band playing the stirring "Poet and Peasant‘‘ overture. Others have developed along the humorous line, and each and every one held in the past has been much enjoyed. Atâ€" tendances have varied but as a new spirit has been aroused among the members of Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion, it would appear to be good advice to say to all to come early to the opening smoker on Saturday evening, in the Legion hall. i Bicycle and Car in Collision at Wilson Ave. Corner Twelveâ€"Yearâ€"Old Laconruir Escapes Without Injury Lecpold Laconruir, 12â€"yearâ€"old boy, living at 5l Montgomery Ave., escaped injury on Sunday afterncon when the bicycle that he was riding became enâ€" tangled in an accident with a car, being driven by Donat Bastien, North Road. at the corner of Mountjoy street and Wilson avenue.

The cyclist was also making a left hand turn from Mountjoy street south, to Wilson avenue. â€" Both drivers claimed that they didn‘t see the other till it was too late. Damages were very small with the bicycle sustaining the most of the damage. Frustaglio was involved in an accident on Sunday night about sevenâ€"thirty and after hitting a car that belonged to Oscar Matson, of the Delnite Proâ€" perty, he kept on going and didn‘t stop to see what damage he had done.

Gay songs, modern dances, coloured lights, beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen made the Lions‘ Club dance at the Riverside Pavilion on Priday evening one of the season‘s most sucâ€" cessful events, and brought many comâ€" pliments to the committee in charge of the event. Music for the occasion was supplied by Henry Kelneck ard his orchestra, and balloons and novelties added to the evening‘s entertainment. The event being formal, many of the ladies wore beautiful gowns, and lovely corâ€" sages, and their escorts were proud of their charm ation for club. The first of the delegates to report to the meeting on the Convention and its activitiés was Kiwanian Pritz wWocdbury. He started by saying that while the weather was perfect and everything ran very well, he had not been able to take his wife to the conâ€" vention, and that Kiwanis Conventions were so planned that the ladies plfy an important part and members really want to take their wives to Kiwanis Conventions. Fritz pictured the Sunâ€" day evening musicale with the comâ€" munity and professional singing, and discussed briefly the talk, "We‘ll Never Let the Old Flag Fall." by Rev. Prank S.

The motto for the whole convention was, "Safeguard Demccracy by Individual Service." ommittee in Charge Reâ€" ceiving Many Compliâ€" ments. Viceâ€"president Fred Burt spoke briefly on the entertainment at the Convention, which was of very high standard. President Bill Langdon expressed his appreciation of the honour bestowed on this Club and himself by his elecâ€" tion as Lt.â€"Governor, and spoke at length on what he termed the outstandâ€". ing address of the whole convention, that of John P. Day, Professor of Economics at McGill University. Prof. Day pointed out the necessity for all thinking people to make plans and prepare themselves and the people of the Dominion for the serious probâ€" lems after the war. An acute shortâ€" age will exist of all peaceâ€"time reâ€" quirements and there is bound to be disruption in employment. His proâ€" gramme for postâ€"war problems consistâ€" ed of Patience, Goodâ€"will, Hard Work, and Good Statemanship, but he pointâ€" ed out that the first three of these necessities rested in our own hands. ' The best medium for passing on these ideas is the memberhip of Service Club, and members must constantly stress the need for postâ€"war planning. The speaker at the Governor‘s Banâ€" quet, Dr. Chas. B. Holman, of: St: Louis, Mo.. US.A.., and International Past Lieut.â€"Governor P. T. Moisley introduced President W. O. Langdon to the Club as the new Lieut.â€"Goverâ€" nor for this District for 1942. Viceâ€"president of Kiwanis took a very frank stand on the part of the United States should play in the present war and after the war. He pointed out that the United States is now at war in fact, though not sending men overâ€" seas, and showed that the US. had approximately 20,000,000 aliens resiâ€" dent inside her borders and that these persons had to be trained to see the Light, before the country could enter a "shooting war," but stated that he felt certain that his country> would smm he cideâ€"hnyâ€"side with the other soon De SsIGeâ€"DYâ€"SiI0GG@ WiLiL Uiit, UGULIAA Allies.

It is a new plan to have these fiveâ€"minute adâ€" dresses, and to draw for the "lucky‘ man to give the address each week. The meeting closed with of "O Canada."
