Rutherford. O. C. of the Foresters, over the phone Tues- day evening, The Advance was in- formed that the men were enjoying the trip immensely and everyone was in the best of spirits. Col Ruther- ford gave us the time when they would arrive in Fiesherton. Altogether, folk, give the For- esters, the greatest cheer they will receive on their trip. Word was r^tsived on Friday laat by Mrs. R. WhiU»»'"si" of Ceylon tlxat her son, Mr. Well. Whittaker, and Mrs. Whittaker, had arrived safely in New York after escaping from Paris, France, where they had been residing since the Great War when Mr. Whittaker sei-ved with the Can- adian army in Prance. The informa- tion came from a daughter, Mrs. E. Neubauer, of Akron, Ohio, who re- ceived a telegram from her brother. The telegram only stated that the two had arrived at New York and whether or not their two children, a son and daughter, arrived with them is not known. The son was fighting with the French army until the coll- apse of the Republic in June. Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker escaped from Paris shortly before its collapse and made their way to Portugal, where they remained for some time until accommodation was found to bring: them to this continent. They were three months attempting to reach America. The family had not had any word since May, when Mr. Whittaker sent a cable stating that all was well and the news of their safe arrival wa? received with rejoicing by their many friends here. \ \ Equipped to handle the finest service at moderate prices | ;; ' ^^^^ I I Our Beautiful ^-^ Air Conditioned I Funeral Chapel at 124 AVENUE ROAD TORONTO, Ont.

Throughout the world there are now over 19,000,000 members of the Junior Red Cross. Fiesherton High School Junior Red Cross has now 70 members. By becoming a member each boy or girl accepted two obliga- tions, which are (1) The obligation of keeping the rules of health, and (2) the obligation of helping others who may need help. The motto is "I sei-ve." The chief service activity of the Junior Red Cross during peace- time has been the help afforded to physically handicapped dhildren through voluntary contributions to the Crippled Children's Fund. In addition, various activities have been caiTied on in the local community, such as promoting health in the home and community, preventing accident.^, providing Christmas cheer and so on. Since Canada declared war, more Canadian Juniors have been enrolled. They are endeavoring to assist in raising money to provide supplies for soldiers, in knitting and sewing and in every way possible to follow the motto "I Serve." It is hoped that the Fiesherton Juniors will be able to serve as well as the Canadian Juniors el.sewhere. The health activ- ities of the J. R. C. will be carried on chiefly in the health class periods by special courses on prevention of acci- dents, elementary first aid and home nursing. Meetings will be held at intervals throughout the school year, when the programs will consist of addresses on health, accident prevention and citizenship by special speakers and health plays.
