JOHN MCKENNA Chairman, Campaign Commitlee- REPORT OF ‘EXTENSION AND PUBLICITY To the President, Prince Edward Island Division, Canadian Red Cross Society. Your Committee on Publicity and Extens on for the year 1985 respect- fully report s9 follows: The Commlltee considered very carefully the suggestion that s. v luntory blood transfusion service should be organized in connection with the hospitals by which the means of prosmcitve donors should be listed, with their addresses and blood classification, to be called upon in emergency. Upon enquiry it was found, however, that for technical reasons such s scheme would not be of much service, and further- that under existing condi- tions no difficulty is found in procuring voluntary blood donors from amongst the friends of the psilents requiring transfusion. Your Committee therefore abandoned the suggestion. For some years the Society was able. through the kindness of the members of the profession, to ar- range for dental service for needy school children. A well equipped Dental Clinic has now been cst- ablished and a thoroughly organiz- ed service is functioning in the City as s result of the campaign carried on by Dr. Thompson on be- half of the Dental Hygiene Council. The Society is therefore relieved of the necessity of further effort in this field. Iisrly in the year Dr. H. D. Johnson procured from the De- partment of Defence 75 discarded bllnke‘s which were distributed to needy fol-fall's: through the agency of'the social service departmml oi the City 11' silital and Miss Earle of the Free Dl-nensary. Your Com- mittee claim no credit for this ser- vice. but dtsi : here to make re- cord of it and express their ap- preciation of Dr. Johnson's psrl in itrcnd their thanks to the Deport- ment of Defence.

The details of this work are given in Miss Meal-cop's report and show that s. truly splendid ser- vice was rendered. Junior Red Cross Rallies were held in 60 centres throughout the Provinces and proved an isteresl- ing demonstration of Red Cross work. To the school Teachers and other who assisted in organizing and curving out theseflallles the thanks of the Society are tendered. The newspapers of the province, have been very generous in giving Publicity to Red Cross activities, and the thanks of the Division are due to the Guardian, Patriot, Pioneer and Journal for thus assist- ing our cause. Valuable publicity was also given through the Canad- ifllhRariio Commission and the local broadcasting stations for which the Society expresses its sin- cere gratitude. ' B. H. ROGERS Chairman, Extension and Publicity Committee MIss lvrscLnsrrs nsronr . Membership It is a delight to report that 1935 has been the most satisfactory year which we have yet experienced; the activity and accomplishments of the Junior Red Cross being surprisingly large. Since re-enrolment is requir- ed each year, we naturally avoid .much of the embarrasment of a partially dormant membership and can to some extent, at least, gauge the Virility of tile organization by its m°mb9Y$¥lP- Hilwever. we are no longer she to report large increases in membership for the very “m. Jsctory reason that we have achiev- ed and are maintaining nearly the maximum membership possible ln ehis province. For the 153i; M11001 year, 1934-35, our enrmment was 14,962 members in 593 branches. This is an increase of 423 members and 21 branches over the numbers reported for the preceding school year and includes approximately 92% of the classrooms in the prq. vlnce. At December 3i, 1935, the enrolment was 530 branches and 13.- 353 members; this is the same num- ber of branches and 53 more mem- bers than for the same period 155g year so that for the present school year of 1935-36, we anticipate an- other s.lght increase in enrolments. Orselllr-Iiicn and Publicity As in previous years every eflort was made to keep in touch with Junior branches by visits and u h r o u g n correspondence.

During the autumn. visits were paid to 394 schools where talks were given to 544 groups of pupils. Ono of my most interesting yearly visits is to the school on Lennox Island which has had a Red Cross Branch for five consecutive years. The only other school in the province which cannot be reached by car is the one on Boughton Island which I visited in i935 for the first time. Every other school in the province has been visited several times aslt is possible to get to about five-sixths of the classrooms in one autumn. Rallies Very Successful .The i934 venture in the holding of rallies was so successful that sim- ilur gatherings were arranged in greater numbers for 193.5. This pro- Jcct did not interfere with our reg- ulsr activities because in almost every case the rallies were held in the evening at a central point to which several branches could come to participate in the programme and to sec the moving pictures of crippled children's work which we wre able to show in halls not equip- ped with electric light by using a battery attachment. The owners were most generous in giving halls free of cost or for a. nominal fee; and a small admission was charged the adults. In this way $934.50 was raised during the year for the Handicapped Children's Fund, but the chief value of these rallies lies in the information and inspiration given by such demonstrations. In all 60 rallies were held during the year with 300 branches participating in the programme. It is estimated that 6,020 pupils and 4.200 others were in attendance. The umber of places where the present movie can be shown is naturally now quite small but Mr. Craswell, with his customary generosity is at pros- int planning a bigger and better im.

Personally I am much encouraged by the emphasis placed by children on the health rules and by the way in which the whole Junior Red Cross programme is being increas- 1I191y taken as n. matter of course in the schools. With the greater interest in health there inevitably comes also improvements in schools and surroundings. Besides keeping their schools .ciean, our Juniors have provided such equipment ss first aid kits, washing facilities and hot lunch supplies. _ The Junior Red Cross and Home Nllfsillg Course was given by the Public Health Nurses to branches oi older girls in Prince Street, Roch- ford Square, West Kent Schools, Charlottetown; St. Mary's Academy and Summerside High School, Sum- merside; Alberton High School; Tlgnish and Souris Convents and Montague High School. 151 girls ‘received their certificates. International Aspect The international aspect of the movement continued to be stressed in the literature provided and in the emphasis laid on the exchange luv. w. n.

The address was read by Mr. J. H1 Williams and the presentation made on behalf of the congregation by Elder W. H. Stevenson. Rev. Mr. Outhouse replied fittingly, express- ing his thanks and referring with feeling to the very P1698111“ V831‘? he had spent as pastor of the Cen- tral Christian Church. , The following was the address: To Rev.

Altogether 37 portfolios were sent from this province and 51 were received from the countries sl- ready mentioned with Japan con- tributing the largestmumbers. In the portfolio competition sponsored in this province in the early part of 1935, there were 29 entries, the prizes being won by Dover, Mlllvsle, and Crapaud Schools.

Handicapped Children The fact that we were in 1935 financially able to provide treatment for more physically handicapped children than in any previous year is to us a source of deep gratitude. The contributions rto the Junior Red Cross Fund for Handicapped Children amounted last year to $8.- 57261. 0f this amount slfilifi was contributed by the Juniors; $1,262.34 by the Charlottetown Rotary Club; $500.00 by the Charlottetown Gyro Club, and $19.57 by other adults in- eluding the Mllyficld Debating Club and the Bloomfield Women's Instit- utc Convention. The total contribu- tions show an increase of 81.14349 which is largely accounted for by the Rotary club increase of $362.34 and the Junior increase of $787.33. We are grateful to all those who have contributed in any way to the extension of our Handicapped Children's Work and we particularly wish to thank the Rotary and Gyro Clubs for their generous support. Because of their assistance, because of the co-opcration of the members of the medical profession who have always given their services gratuit- ously ond because of the reduced rates given by the optometrists and hospitals, we, have been able, be- sides financing Dr. Ackefs clinics hold twice during the year at Char- lottetown and Summerside with 299 examinations being made, to provide treatment for 134 more children than in the previous year. The greatest increase was in thr number of tonslllectomics and in this con- nection we are greatly indebted to Dr, Lsntz who continued the oper- ative treatment formerly provided by Dr. Johnson and Dr. Archibald at the two Charlottetown hospitals as well as to the Summcrside doc- tors who performed n large number of operations in the Prince County Hospital. Much assistance in locat- ing and investigating cases was giv- en us by the Public Health nurses. The teachers and inspectors also rs- port many needy children Appreciation of _Dr. Adler's Work‘ We greatly appreciate the excel- lent work being done for our cripp- led children by Dr. T. B. Acker of Halifax, and we are indebted to Miss . Mono Wilson, Director of Public Health Nursing. for her or- ganizntlon and oversight cf our crippled children's work. Other friends have also given valuable as- sistance and in speaking of them we might mention especially the work being done by scvcral teachers who voluntarily instruct those children who are confined to their homes or to the Sanatorlum. We arc also grateful to Mr. Arthur G. King for generous donations of Cod Liver Oil for undernourished child- ren. Our tiranks are due ‘the many teachers and other friends through- out the province who by their kind- ness and hospitality have made our work pleasant and more eflectlve. rrieriyrPceiznaster here, and now re- elding in~ Baltimore, are left “to encouragement received from Nn- _ ‘Also surviving are a niece, Mrs__.q, tional Headquarters and from our (Jinn Duffy, and fiv ' ephetv Frank, Prod and ilose 0 this city, Rev, Louis M 0Y1- fsno. and Rev.
