9 bom with and others born without it can be developed just as can skiu in playing the piano first let us define personality it is oui ability to interest and in fluence other people our adoptability to the world in which we llver what we do about things and people how we get along personality has no relation jo intellect it may be harder for the college graduate to fit into his environment than the person without formal education personality depends upon developing a set of habits and skills which we need for happiness one of the first essentials is that we learn to be at ease with other people no matter what the differ ence in age or position may be thehlme to begin the ground work for a good personality is when one l still young skill in games and sports which are played in groups is helpful it gives young people a feeling of confidence gets them over the awkward stage cauldren who belong to sunday school scouts girl guides ym ca the school orchestra or other societies tend to be more likeable more alert and therefore have a better personality than the cluld who likes to read or play alone children who skate and dance who go to mixed parties are early learning xo feel at ease and natural with members of the opposite sex stanilariy children who are taught to do things for themselves or things they do not like to do because they are right or necessary have learned much better personality habits than ooes the child who has every thing handed to him on a silver platter and is never forced to do tilings he doesnt want to do as one grows older further habits should be developed the habit of going around with a group of friends rathei than one or two of taking an interest in people you meet ol paying subtle compliments ot speaking clearly when introducing people of remembering and re peatlng good stories habits to be avoided are interrupting conversation criticising others spreading gossip being tired or bored in which case you yourself ae probably the bore a sense of humour a hobby whether golf or knitting seeing the other persons viewpoint all these things can be consciously developed and all help to improve ones personality personality therefore is not a mytte quality which some have and others lack but rather a set of habits upon which individual hap plness depends and which can be developed by training just as the mind can t t t t war service the canadian red cross total war and all that it implies is being waged on the western 0 front long columns of refugees clutter the roads of the stricken countries casualties are arriving in ever increasing numbers at bases in england and france the canadian red cross must now meet the test for which it has been preparing during the last eight months the following is a brief outline of the orgaiiiation built up by it that it may give service wherever and however it is required 1 2385 branches have been established across canada from which a neverending stream of supplies are forwarded to lilt provincial head quarters 2 the london headquarters has been estab s ed n berkley square to house the various committees most of which are under the direction of canadian women the rt hon r b bunnell ls chairman of the overseas advisory committee 3 the first canadian red cross hospital is bting rushed to com pletion a taplow 25 miles from london on the estate of lord and lady astor it will have the finest of modem equipment and includes a ware house for storing surgical supplies and a special research laboratory to be manned by canadian experts under the direction of sir frederick banting when finished this 600bed hospital will be turned over to the canadian army medical corps who will operate and maintain it and staff it with canadian doctors and nurses in view of the urgencv of the situation it is expected a section of it will be opened within a week 4 the first maple leaf club has been opened in london to provide cheap accommodation and meals in a homelike atmosphere to cana dians on leave 5 the hospital visiting service has been established its object is to visit canadian soldiers who are ill or wounded take them comforts and cigarettes and if necessary write letters for them 6 the prisoners of war service operates in cooperation with the british red cross eight canadians serving with the british forces have been reported taken prisoner two 11 lb packages of food and medical supplies per week- are sent to each prisoner 7 the department of information keeps a record of each cana dian sick in hospital wounded or taken prisoner in order that tnforma tion regarding them can be forwarded to relatives at home 8 workers have sorted and listed 3000 cases of hospital and field comforts that arrived from canada and packed them in their giant warehouse from which they can be sent to casualty clearing stations and base hospitals at a moments notice woollens magazines etc are dis ributed to the canadian troops and bedding and clothing provided the refugees 9 hospital supplies surgical dressing and cash donations have been given the british french belgian and dutch red cross societies to meet the urgent need in war torn areas this brief outline gives a very inadequate picture of the vastness of the work being undftaken by the canadian red cross or the variety of the demands made upon it to meet all emergencies it needs the loyal support of every worker in every branch across the dominion the war will not stop during vacation time neither should red cross workers let sunny summer days tempt them away from the red cross work rooms book review
