Dear Sir: As mayor of the Town of Bowmanville 1 ,vish toa ask aur people to contribute to the Red Cross campaign that is now being conducted. The Red Cross is rccognized as the wor]d's greatest or- ganization for helping people in the time of trouble. It helps peoples of ail nations in times of peace as in times of war. Today the Red Cross is working for the necdy in Britain, for the people in our own north country who can not support a hospital of their own, for water safety for children, for the training of home nurs- ing, for blood banks for the benefit of our hospitals to assist whenever any catastrophies occur. During the war people of this district cantributed most generously of their time and money. The ladies of Hampton, En- niskillen, Maple Grove and other villages of Darlington joined the ladies of Bowmanville in making great quantities of badly needed clothing. The men made sure that' the quota of dollars was reached. Today the quota is not as high but the Red Cross stili needs funds to carry on its work of mercy. The radio, the news- papers and our friends have done so much to tell of the Red Cross that I need only endorse comments. The local cormîttee is not making a bouse to house cari- vass but is depending on the gcnerosity of the people to send do- nations. Off iciai receiots that can be used in incomne tax reports will be issued to all donors. Thanking you, ,SIDNEY LITTLE, Mayor of Bowmanville Hanold Gibson, The sing-song was conducted by Ex. Camp. G.
