f Section Two 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 9,1984 Red Cross Stamp Issue Marks 75Yrs. of Service X_«k « The Canadian Red Cross Society's humanitarian work at home and abroad, since it was founded 75 years ago, will be commemorated on a stamp to be unveiled at the Society's annual conference in Regina May 28. The Honorable Andre Ouellet, Minister responsible for Canada Post Corporation, noted that in addition to operating operating a network of blood donor clinics, "the Red Cross touches the lives of all Canadians Canadians through a variety of health and safety courses and other humanitarian services. "In time of war, the Red Cross has provided aid to the sick and wounded, both civilian civilian and military, and in peacetime, stands ready to supply disaster relief anywhere anywhere in the world," the Minister said. The Red Cross Society's history goes back to Italy in 1859, when, following the Battle of Solferino, fought between between the armies of France and Italy against the Austrian army, 40,000 soldiers lay dead or wounded, uncared for and abandoned. Henri Dunant, a young Swiss and a witness to this inhumanity, organized a • rescue and aid service for the wounded. His determination to assure more humane care for the wounded in all wars led to the founding of the Red Cross four years later in Geneva. The Red Cross flag first flew in Canada during the Northwest Northwest Rebellion of 1885. Surgeon Major (later Major- General) George Sterling Ryerson, of the Canadian Army Medical Services, felt that a horse-drawn wagon used as an ambulance on the battlefield needed some mark to distinguish it from the other wagons. The makeshift emblem emblem he put together consisted of two strips of red cotton stitched in the form of a cross on a white background. Dr. Ryerson became the founder of the Canadian Red Cross Society which was established as a corporate body by an Act of the federal parliament in 1909. The stamp, designed by Toronto artist William Tibbies from a photograph by Clive Webster, also of Toronto, features features the Red Cross Service Award, a medal awarded by the Society for long-standing and meritorious voluntary service. Ashton-Potter Limited of Toronto will print 20 million 32-cent stamps in five-color lithography. A portrait of Maj. -Gen. Ryerson (1854-1925) will appear on the first day covers.
