Stu-lites and community clubs are enrolling in the large army or W0. men who are ‘helping 4,119 Red Cross with the g-gantic task of ro- Vldl-Ylk knitted garments and as- pltal supplies ior the soldiers. Summerside is the headquartes for the Prince County Red Cross supplies and distributing centre and the room in the Town hall which has been very kindly lent by Mayor Campbell for the use of the ladies is a very busy place with women cutting out garments, and making hospital supplies; be- 51d“ Packing and inspecting the socks and sweaters that come in every week from all over the coini- ty. Mrs. G. Ennis Smith, wlio has‘ charge of the work has received a letter from the Red Cross head- quarters in which was expressed the thanks not only oi the Red Cross but of the soldiers who have benefited by the articles sent from the many branches of the Society. The latter also conveyed requests for clothin for the Polish and Finnish re ugees, especially quilts and children's clothing, Any ladies who would voltrnter to make chiid- rens garments would be welcomed at the Red Cross rooms. as there are many pieces of material suit- able for childrens garments ready to be made up. Comfort bans are also requested for the soldiers. Patterns and particulars can be had at the Red Cross rooms. 'I‘lte rileed of wheeling wool socks such as farmeai wear was stressed in the letter, as soldiers cannot march on socks made with Yighter wools Among the newer Institutes and Community Clubs sending knitted goods to the Summerslde head- quatters are Ellerslle, Conway, Sherbrooke.

Dr. Manlon reviewed the record 0! the Liberal leaders and quoted ‘their words only from papers which are strong supporters of theirs."

On t. 9. 1935. Le Canada of Moiitrea , quoted Mr, Ki as hav. in said during the elect on carn- DH En! "The people of Canada are opposed m war. . . ivfr, Bennett (then Prime Minister R. B. Ben- nett) has no right. to commit the country before consulting the pep- ple by means of a plebiscite."

"May I ask if Mr. King him i; plebiscite before commitinq the "WWW W the present war?" ask- ed Dr. Manlon.

The; Conservative lender mid that in Le Soleil of Quebec on Dec. 20. 1937, Mr. Lapolnte was quoted as having said at St. F-iav- ien. Qufi. "I will repeat this afternoon what I said from my seat in the Canadian Parliament: ‘All these expenditure; are mgde only and exclusively for {he d9- fence of Canada.’ . . . I declared in Parliament that I was not going to support anything more than ‘ilk and If’ there would be more titan this, Mr. Lapointc would cease to be a minister."

The Cctnservat ve Leader con- tinued: "Titere ls a gcod deal note than this just new, Canada is tak- ing part In a war but Mr. Ls-pc ntle

' is still a minister. Mr. Llatpointe ts

also quoted in Le Soleil oi lJec, l3. I938, as having said in a e-peech at Limollttu “instead of going to war in a tore:gn country we will rerra n here and defend the Canada that we love!"

Works Minister Cardin is quoted in Le Canada of Jan. i7, i938, as saying at St. Henri "fcr the 10th time. I am declaring that Canada will not partic pate in exterior wars,” Dr. Manldn stated.

Liberals Deceived People

The Conservative Leader also said that Postmaster G-ecieraiPow- er is quoted In Le Soleil of Dec. 20. i937, as saying at St. Fiavten "I went to war once. I have returned, and will not go back again and will not send anyone.‘

‘I ask you," cont nued Dr. M" "- Ion. ‘after those quotations of ivlir. King, Mir. Ila-points. Mr. t.

The answer must be ‘yes. they did deceive the people of Que- bec.’ And I may add I have never deceived the people of Quebec and never wlil—or the people of any

Resources Minster Crerar was a member oi the 1917 Union Government whzoh enforced cim-Wfiption and it was Mr. Crerar Whcm Mr. King sent to England w represent Canada in war d:scuss- ions with the Britsh Government.

'I'he Ccn-srvatzve Leader att-ckcd the government for the sud en dli- Suluilon of Parl.atme:t and 5811i that if Mr. King is permitted “to close} Parlament tcda-y to suit hs political purposes, then tomorrow he or someone else may close Pa:- liament for some other purpisg, such as drqtrcytr-a the rzgnts of a minority ot our p30pl~3—€r even perhaps suppressing Paztlament al- together."

Representatives to Central Council

R. H. Rogers, Mrs. J. 1!.

foregoing are the officers and oom- mittee of the Prince Edward Is- land Division. The general was service committee appointed at a. public meeting held In Charlotte- town last autumn will carry on for the duration of the war.

The Red Cross looks forward to another strenuous year of service in furthering the peacetime and wartime aims 0f the Society in this Province, that, us in the past, it tlnue to enjoy the confidence and support of our people.

Following is the text of reports submitted at last night's meeting:

Friends of the Prince Edward Island Division, Canadian Rod Cross Society:-

I am indeed pleased to extend to you a very hearty welcome to this 1939 Annual Meeting of our Division of the Red Cross Society.

Before giving you a. resume of the year's work I must refer to the loss this Division has sustain- ed In the death of Mr. B. L. Mc- Clure, a very sincere and loyal sup- porter, who was for some years a va.ued member of our Executive.

In time of peace the efforts of the Prince Edward Island Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society weze concentrated on the develop- ment of Junior Red Cross and to the provicilitg of treatment for the physically handicapped children of the Province. The excellent results obtained will be reviewed tonight In the report on the Junior Red Cross. And.-—t>ve are glad to be able to attnottnce that these most‘ valu- able sezvices are to be continued in time of war.

Aitotlt-ei- service maintained for malty years is the enrolment of nurses for service in war or dis- aster. This is done In conjunction

itvith the Provincial Nurses‘ As-

sociation. Last y-eai" we had 94 en-

lrolled. Ori the otttbreztk of war the

list was immediately brought. up to date and forwarded to the proper authorities .

There have been no adult Branches in the Province but each ycar the Women's Institutes. the I. O. D. E. and the Teachers have assisted the Division with the can- vass for Senior membership and funds. Usttnllv 40 per cent of the school districts send in con- tributicits.

Adult Home Nursing Classes are cottdticted by the Public Heafth Nu . Last year six of these cla: were conducted with 142 mem- beis tifteizrlitig 75 per cent or more of tlte Lessons

Iii the spring the Canadian Red Cass was asked to distribute one mlliicn pottiids of suplus butter. Tzcse vouchers were of two kinds, relief and ncut-rcllef. The Prince L ward Island Divison, through the v. bus relief agencies, distributed 1.339 lbs. of the former and 2,-

clude. for example, that theze are recommendations in the report or ,

.Parllament or the pIc-pe cf Can-

that ccmmliszcn tvltlzh lt-e a psiitt- l ed that may take away from thet provinces of Canada scnte of their rights?

"Since he closed Parliament without permitting the members 0t t

ada to read the rttpcrt , one

surmise almost anytnng that report."

With the outbreak of the war the duties of your Executive were grehty increased. At Executive mcetinus held early in September zirraitgemeitts were made for apub- llc ittctiiig at, which additional tiersctts were added to the Execu- tive to form a War Council. 'I‘his body which has among its member- s1 ‘p representatives 0f the various organizations and of all sections of tltc province met on September 22nd. and appointed the following Cantmitteesz-uadvlsory; Campaign and Finance: General Organiza-

tion; Purchasing, Stores and T. aitsporta t-ion; Women's War Wcrk; and Publicity.

Tlte Campaign and Finance Com- mittee under the capable direction of Mr. George J. Tweedy had the restlnnsibe task of raising funds which they accomplished in an ad- mirable manner. You will hear a repcrt cm the restilts from the Chairman of this Committee.

The General Organization Com- mittee studied the best means of keeping in contact with all the or- qrinizzitlons and individuals wishing to do tvnr work through the Red Cross. It is the desire of the Red Cross to work through the existing organizations to as great an extent its possible but it has been fofmd desirable t0 organize adult Branch- es of the Red Cross at several centres including Summerside. Al- berton, O'Learv, l-Ittnter River. Crenrgetown and Souris. The chief purpose of these Senior Branch- es is to act as clearing houses for materials and finished supplies. They nre also expected take the lend in rnisiniz funds In their areas. In handling these funds these PTFITTYIFS are to follow the same nlan as the Division. Each Branch
