Dear Wfhihe Ribibonersr- What will i943 do for our White Ribbon cause and better still what will your White Ribbon Cause do for i943 At Convention and since some of you have been asking "What are we to do this year?" Last year we had three mvtstand- ling projects. The interest in all three was National, Provincial and Local and because the work was thus united our Canadian W.C.T.U. was able to build and furnish Fel- lowship Lodge at Camp Petawawa. We also sold the Goodwill Peace cards for Christmas and Miss Edna Fay Grant, our National Field Organiser. spent a month working with us and for us, with much success. Each Union should organize and mother one or more of our youth organizations, a "Young People's Branch," s. “Lo Tlemperance Legion" or a group of "Little White Rlbboners".

' The good work of our Provincial Union on behalf oi’ the prohibition cause of N.B. and other parts of Canada was dimmed last year by the public consciousness of an awful increase in the consumption of bev- erage alcohol and cf its evil effects, es ially in relation to our war ef ort. The New Year opens with a change for the better. Our Federal Government has taken action. Our Provincial Government has also outlined a plan to reduce sale and consumption, especially in relation to clubs and canteens.
