Canada EV ERY 'IHUR\D'\Y Local branches of the Red Crcss: have recently been making urgent ap-J peal for more and more workers. Ssooin â€" the annual Red Cross appeal for funds | to carry on its great work will be under. way. In considering both these apâ€" peals the people should remembexJ what the Red Crcss has done, is doing, and will do. Early in the war, Mr. F. M. McDowell, of Timmins, who was a prisonerâ€"ofâ€"war in Germany in the last war, stated that had it not been for what he got from the Red Cross ho would not be alive to tell about it, and that the other priscnersâ€"ofâ€"war were practically all in the same position. They owed their lives to the Red Cross. Conditions seem to be the same in this warâ€"perhaps, worse. A lot of prisonâ€" ersâ€"ofâ€"war have been released by the swift advance of the Russians into German territcry. Majorâ€"General J. Deane, chief of the United States Milâ€" itary Mission in Moscow, tells Of numâ€" erous prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war he has interâ€" viewed since release from German prison camps. These men all have the same experience to relate. They all speak of the good treatment given them by the Russians and the Polish. "Within their power," says General fDeane. "cur Allies have done everyâ€" thing they could to be kind, merciful !and friendly. ‘"Liberated prisoners reaching Moscow say that the Germans provided only a starvation diet for Allied officers and men alike. They declare that a situation tanamount to mass murder would have resulted if Red Cross parcels had not impleâ€" mented the diet. It would be well to keep this in mind, to the credit of the Red Cross now. and to the shame of l-the enemy for time to come.

These licenses have not been taken up as rapidly as the council felt the number of dogs in town warranted, and there had been a suggestiOn by some memâ€" ber of council that it might be well to increase the license fee and spend more in seeing that the byâ€"law was rigidly enforced. Mr. A. Tomlinson and a delegation from the Porcupine Rod and Gun Club appeared before council to urge that no increase be made in the cost of licenses, as that would be a hardship to many, but to suggest that the byâ€"law be very strictly enforced. The matter was referred to Councillors Eyre and Roberts for report to council. A change was made in the studying the question of pensions and | health plan for town employees.
