More than 40,000 prisoners-of-war food parcels are sent overseas by the Red * Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to meet the actual need. More than a million such parcels have already heen sent to prisoners-of-war. It all costs money. The Canadian Red. Cross Society has not campaigned nationally for funds since October, 1940.
