Allied seamen received 6,303 parcels from the Allied Post during i943, according to the an- tiual report of the president, Miss Elsa May. The shipments were slightly lower than the previous year due to the fact that some of the ships ivere diverted to ports beyond reach. Iloivever, the records show that seamen of the folloivinq tiations benefitted: French, 1.260 parcels; Poles, 1,250; Greeks, 1,320; Belgians, 60o; Norwegians, 1,252 and Yugoslavi, 75o. The

distribution was made principally to the Mer- '

chant Marine, “to those small freighters that so seldom figure in the news and yet, ivitbotit whnsc tnagnifieent work, our very..existence Wltlllll be in icopardyq" Miss May explained. Receipts from the Christmas appeal were suf- ficient to enable the Allied Post to make the liebrttary shipment of parcels as usual but funds will he required for the. llastei- parcels. All coittribtitiotts slioitltl he sent to the Allied IIost. Ronni zoo, 1306 St. (Katherine Street \\'<'st, hlttiitrcztl.
