Page 6 The Haileyburian | edie gala eThe pupils, and their teachers, in the public schools throughout Canada, in many cases are "un- supg heroes" in that their efforts in supporting their own organiza- tion, affilliated with the Red Cross named "The Junior Red Cross,"' aré seldom publicized. Nov. 1-7 has been set apart as Junior Red Cross Week and with this in mind, the principal of the Haileybury Public School was con- tacted for local information. He turned the request over to the various grades and more enthus- iastic response has never been re- ceived during this reporter's three and one half years with the Hail- eyburian. The letters received from the pupils will speak for themselves. The Junior Red Cross was start- ed in 1920 on the recommendation of the League of Red Cross Societ- ies and was officially established in 1922. It's objectives are, to pro- mote health-to serve others-and to increase international understand- ing among the young people of the world. It is the largest youth move- ment, with over 53 million mem- bers in 72 countries. In Canada there are 1,304,662 members in 40,- 116 branches. Last year Canadian feiect con- tributed $49,521 for International help to children in disaster and war areas, and $198,747 to the handicapped and Crippled Children Fund. Now, hear what Haileybury Jun- iors are doing: Grade V Grade V of Haileybury Public School have organized their Junior Red Cross with the election of new officers; President-Gayle Gibson, Secretary-David Maddison; Trea- surer-Gwen Buttle. The Grade V strive to have one substantial project a year, this be- ing a sale of candy and comics, held on St. Valentine's Day in Feb- _ruary. Our. donation to Junior Red Cross last school term was approx- imately $50. . We find that Junior Red Cross helps to develop a closer class spirit. Our aim is to develop respon- sible citizens, aware of and con- cerned about the needs in our own community and throughout the world. R. E.

Yours very truly, John Atchison Dear Mrs. MacDonald; 'In answer to your request for in- formation on our Red Cross activ- ities I wish to explain what we have done and what we hope to do at future Red Cross meetings. On October twenty-ninth we held an election for officers. The new president is Sue Cavanagh, the vice president, Storey MacVeigh, the secretary-treasurer Heather Pearson and the program conven- ers Janice Liscomb and Larry Byles. A Hallowe'en party which took place on October thirtieth was very successful. At the party we played the pillow game which proved to be very exciting. To be- gin with two pillow cases were fill- ed with clothing of all descriptions. Then some music wouid start play- ing and we would pass the two pil- lowcases around. When the music stopped the two people holding the bags had to pull a garment out of the bag and wear it. Lunch follow- ed with clothing of all descriptions. ended our first Red Cross meeting. Yours truly, Sheila Thomson Dear Mrs. MacDonald; In answer to your request for letters from tthe Junior Red Cross I would like to tell you of the ac- tivities we plan to follow to earn money for the Red Cross this year. At our first meeting a motion was carried that the Junior Red Cross should supply grade seven with kleenex. Later on in the year to earn money the grade seven Junior Red Cross plan to have bake sales, rummage sales, candy sales, and an auction sale. Yours truly, Lesley Stewart Grade VII Dear Mrs. MacDonald; In answer to your request for letters from the Junior Red Cross ities for this year. On Friday afternoon we had our Hallowe'en party. We played the orange game, with two oranges. There are two teams one of boys and one of girls. The idea of the game is to pass the orange from chin to chin without dropping it. After the games we had our lunch and played records. Judy Kirk contributed a tray of cup cakes to our Hallowe'en party. It was voted that the Red Cross supply kleenex for the _ class- room. For this year the Junior Red Cross plans to have Auction Sales, Candy Sales and wrapping up gifts to send to the hospital for children who are sick and for men without families. Sincerely yours, Heather Pearson Dear Mrs. McDonald; Writing to you as a member of the Haileybury Public school Gr. VIII Junior Red Cross, I will try to explain the purpose of our 1959- 1960 program. This year we will carry out pro- grams in safety and in good health. We intend to have three parties, one at Hallowe'en, one at Christ- mas and one at Easter. Our school is in a very danger- ous position being so close to the highway and we intend to teach the younger children how to cross the road safely and not make a nuisance of themselves on the way home.
