F THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1948 5 PAGE FOUR & "BUSINESS OFFICE + G. MACPHERSON PHONE 703 HITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS EDITOR ROBERT CORBETT PHONE 703 Varied Activities -Of Red Cross Told At Meeting a LE A ER Vo an AVERT VR SNE TUT IAAI IVAW SR age ble Std tb hab bad dh od I had id An organization with a sense of world wide respons- + ibility, the Red Cross, is alert in peace with a program to " fill many dim human needs, said Mrs. A. C. McKenzie of Beaverton speaking to representatives of Ontario county - branches at a conference and luncheon held yesterday in the United Church Sunday School hall. Mrs. McKenzie is chairman of the branch program committee, Ontario Div- ision of the Red Cross, She wasgy introduced by the Whitby branch president: F. J. McIntyre. Touching on the many phases of peacetime work, Mrs. McKenzie said: "You cannot, for instance, make too many quilts these days. From England alone there is a strong need. Keep your work rooms busy because all kinds of clothing are urgently needed today." The speaker said that some branches had given up their char- ters feeling that after the war ended their work was done. Had they waited to find out the peace- time program of the Red Cross, they would find a vast field open for service. ' "It is quite possible that we may be close to international strife. At the recent Stockholm conference consideration was given to pre- paration for civilian care in case of an atomic war. At that conference every country was represented ex- cept Russia and its satellites," said Mrs. McKenzie. The need for international reief is not yet over by any means and | this constitutes a large part of Red Cross work. Best known is the work of the so- ciety in disaster relief, demonstrat- ed in Canada last spring in such disasters as the Etobicoke flood and out in British Columbia. It is in this field that the Red Cross pre- dominates, is always first on the scene. organized into 30 districts for ef- ficient disaster relief work. Even if only an individual home is burned out the Red Cross can call upon its loan cupboards to obtain emergency beds and bedding for the homeless. Mrs. McKenzie cautioned the branches to confine their efforts to provision of food and clothing in such cases--not donations of cash. Plasma Service In February we are going to start | our blood and plasma service in Ontario, the speaker said. She went on to warn the representatives pres- ent from Orillia, Beaverton, Brock- The province of Ontario is | sunderland, Oshawa, Whitby, Pick- ering and Claremont, against over- budgetting for welfare work. ; "Be careful that you do not step on the toes of other service organ- izations doing this work," she said. "In Toronto we are doing a good work with shut-ins and I would suggest to you that the people in the County home could benefit from a little attention at Christ mas and throughout the year." In less populated districts, help of crippled children "and purchase of eye glasses for the needy, comes in the province of the Red Cross. In the north country, two mobile dental clinics operate to good ad- vantage. Swimming and Water Safety are two activities being well looked af- ter in this locality. First Aid is another activity of the Society. Particularly important is the erec- | tion and operation of Outpost Hos- | pitals. Twenty-seven are in exis- (tence now and three more ready to open. Mrs. McKenzie praised the ex- cellent work of the Junior Red |Cross in the schools. It is good for the morale of children over- | seas to know that they are sup- ported by Canada. "It makes our children unselfish," she commented. | To quite an extent, funds raised by the Junior section go to help Blue Babies. At the end of the address, there {was a question period when dele- gates presented their problems to Mrs. McKenzie. { Mrs. Nairn, director of publications and Miss Hinton of the nutrition service.

Discussion On Sculpture Heard At Arts Study Group Resuming its meetings for this season, the Whitby art study and appreciation group met Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Mil- dred Price. On the current topic of ' discus- sion "Sculpture" a paper was read by Miss Hazel Worfolk, dealing with the life and works of the English sculptor, Eric Gill (1882-1946). Gill was born the son of a poor clergyman, one of a large family but the intellectual atmosphere of the home inspired him to become interested in architecture. - In- trigued by the symbolic power and might of locomotives, these are often seen in his early drawings. As a deeply religious man he was also drawn to use churches, doorways, towers in his work. His perspective drawings made him known as a master of this art. Tired drawing for others, he learned masonry and did consider- able work in inscriptions upon stone, and letter-cutting. His fame as a monumental mason resulted in his being engaged to carry out a most important work, the sculpture of ten panels on the new museum at Jerusalem. The Tate gallery in London, Eng- land, contains the most extensive collection of his work. Gill saw his work as an expression of personal religious belief. By 1909 he turned his hand to carving figures in stone and immediately his work received honorable attention. Another of his notable larger works is a 55 by 8-foot frieze on the wall of the foyer in the council hall of thg League of Nations at Geneva. - WHITBY SERVICES .
