To the Best People in Canada.- Th, Citizens 0f Prince Edward 1s- land.
In launching this year's Cam- paign in Prince Edward Island for the Red Cross. I wish as President of this Division to tender our most sincere thanks to the generous heart- ed citizens of this Island Province for the steady, continued and we:- increasing support of the greatest humanitarian society in the world. The noble women of this Province have written the name of Prince Edward Island at the top of that grout scroll of Red Cross workers. Let us all subscribe to the limit so that our women's work may be increased in proportion i0 the ever- lncreasing demands on the Red cross,
‘The Bed Cross need! $50,000 ln this Province. Remember, it is a double drive this year as we had no Red Cross Appeal in 194i.
The Red Cross needs t-his money so that our Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen may have the clothing to keep them from perlshlng in their heroic efforts to save this Empire. ‘Ilhe helpless and homeless womeri and children of Britain need all our help. The greatest heroes of the war, the British Prisoners of War, in the hands of brutal enemies need the parcels of food to keep them alive. At lite present time this item alone is costing us, 86,000.- 000 a year and we are asked to double it.
I beseech you, my dear generous and loyal citizens, give all you can to the Red Cross; in the intztests 0f our Armed Forces. of British Prisoners of War, of women and children. and may Divine Provid- ence bless your generosity.

transfusions to anyone regardless of the blood classification of the individual and only requires dis- solving in distilled, sterilized water for use. Connaught Laboratories. Toronto, do the processing.
The Canadian Red Cross So- ciety has not forgotten our Allies. Early last fall, for example it be- came apparent that everything pos~ sible should be done to aid the, Russian Red Cross because of the tremendous casualties suffered in that country's stout resistance to the German invader. An immediate contribution of about $250,000 of supplies was made from stores in Britain .More than this was needed and as the result of an appeal made last December, a total of about 8i million has been made available for this work.
Two small hospitals have been
provided for the Polish army training in Canada, one at Owen Bound ‘and the cuisi- at Windsor. Rod parcels have been sent in Polish prisoners in Germany and for Yugoslavian prisoners as well. Dental equipment has been provid- o4 for the Creche-Slovakian forces in Britain. . While Greece was defending herself against Italians and Ger- mans, $25,000 of supplies were sent by the Canadian Rad Orou itself, another $100,000 worth of supplies purchased for the Cm- adian Greek Relief Committee and 8150.000 is now on hand to be went for food, with 835,000 of dried milk sent recently.
