Rowntree As Treasurer of the Canadian Red Cross Society I beg to submit the folâ€" lowing statement of. Receipts and Disâ€" bursements for the year commencing October ist, 1916, and ending Sept. 30th, 1917. This report would beâ€" incomplete without mention of the appreciation which this society desires to acknowâ€" ledge to the Editor of the Weston Times & Guide for his cheerful and generous gift at all times of valuable space to the cause of all patriotic efâ€" forts in this community. In conclusion, the Committee deâ€" sires to express deepâ€"felt gratitude to the citizens generally for their generâ€" ous support in its feeble efforts to "Carry on" for the Red Cross. Respectfully submitted, J. M. PEAREN, Hon. Secretary. Rotal se e e ces pTTTO® 20 The committee desires to explain its very sincere appreciation on behalf of our siclk and wounded soldiers and prisoners of war, of the devoted efâ€" forts of the women of Weston, York and Etobicoke, to relieve their sufâ€" ferings in this terrible war, by their faithful and selfâ€"sacrificing efforts in supplying socks, garments and other hospital necessities; of this work Mrs. Coon will report more fully. In this connection the Committee wishes to acknowledge its great obligation to the Bank of Nova Scotia for its genâ€" erous donation to the service of the Red Cross, of a splendid, spacious and comfortably heated suite of rooms unâ€" til the end of the war, without which accommodation it would have been impossible for the ladies to have acâ€" complished such splendid results, of Weston ar.ever e d. Etobicoke Tp., Richview Div. Etobicoke Tp., Thistlet‘n Div York Tp., Downsview Div. .. Last December the committee orâ€" ganized a membership campaign unâ€" der"the very able chairmanship. of Mr. H. J. Alexander, to raise sufficient funds to "Carry on." The splendid reâ€" sult of this effort remains an eyerâ€" lasting tribute to the truly loyal and patriotic spirit of the citizens of Wesâ€" ton and vicinity. Subscriptions were received in this campaign as follows: From the citizens of Town The Society sustained a serious loss during the year through the resignaâ€" tion of a most efficient treasurer, Mr. A. G. MacLellan, occasioned by his reâ€" moval from the town. In his place the committee appointed Mr. D. G. Rowntree, acting treasurer, who has generously donated his services since last March. Enrolled: 240 life members, 464 members, and 851 associates, a total of 1555,. The policy pursued by this branch has been in so far as practicable to chase of wool and material to be made into socks and other hospital supplies, expend all moneys received in the purâ€" thus increasing the value of every dolâ€" lar contributed, that we may to our utmost assist our wounded _ soldiers and prisoners of war.

Miss Rutledge is possessed of a bright, cheerful personality and her selections are always appreciated wherever heard, Robert Blake Robert Blake, â€"of Church Street, Weston, was seized with violent pains in the back early Monday morning. Dr. Irwin attended him and called in a specialist. His condition baffled both physicians and they had him reâ€" moved to the hospital, but death ocâ€" curred early Tuesday morning. A post mortem revealed the fact that he was suffering from â€" internalâ€" rupture so complicated from the start that it was impossible to relieve him. Deceasâ€" ed was born in Woodbridge, but came to Weston when quite a boy. For many years he worked as a stone mounter in Moffat‘s. Upon leaving there he moved to Penetang, but reâ€" turned a couple of years ago to Wesâ€" ton and since that time has been emâ€" ployed as an expert munition worker. His wife, who was a Miss Stimpson, survives him, also three boys. Funeral services will be conducted by the Canâ€" adianâ€"Order of Foresters on Friday, October 12, at 2.30 p.m. Will Canada fail? No! is the anâ€" swer. Our boys have made a name on the battlefield. Our boys held the linc at Langemarck. Our boys held the line under many discomforts and were again to the front when the advance wasâ€" sounded. Will Canada at home desert her boys? No! It would be a coward‘s trick. It is up to us as a part of Canada to do our part now. We cannot fight in France, but we can do our part at home. We are nol called upon to face the hardships and death on the battlefield, but we arc asked to give our money. Is it a sacâ€" rifice to give $100 to this cause when youâ€"have a bank account of $5000.00 7 No, it is not. Many a poor man gives a day‘s wages and more that has no bank account. Men who are loyal and have a human heart , give liberally. Don‘t leave it till too late. Use your money for the help and comfort of our boys. Hear Mr. Justice Riddell speak of the war and Red Cross needs and you will be convinced of the great justice of this appeal. Lord Lansdowne, president of the British Red Cross,â€" states: ‘"Should Canada fail in this appeal we will have to curtail some of our operations." No, we cannot. $5,000 can be easâ€" ily raised by the town of Weston in the Red Cross appeal, It will be raisâ€" ed by your most hearty coâ€"operation. To do this we have to raise $1,200 more than we gave in 1916 and $1,500 more than we gave in 1917. Thus to do_this means a greater effort than ever. Yet realize this,â€"victories in France mean a greater demand for Red Cross supplies. Read what Miss Adanis has to say. Read your daily paper, then imagine conditions. Hosâ€" pitals overcrowded, supplies short at the military bases, boys coming in without changes of clothes. The Red Cross Association are doing splendid work. They are giving supplies to the hospitals and first aid units. They are giving changes of clothing to the boys. They are supplying comforts to these heroes, men, boys and nurses who are sacrificing all for you. In the face of these demands can you refuse your help? Can it be done? It seems a lot of money: It is a lot of money. It can not be done if you stay at home. If you refuse to realize your responsibiliâ€" ty it means failure. Now, can we alâ€" low a failure at this special time? Can we fall below $5,000 in our response to the great cause? It was decided to make the camâ€" paign objective this year $5000 for Weston. All returns must be handed in to the treasurer before two o‘clock on Thursday afternoon. Thus the colâ€" lectors will call on Wednesday evenâ€" ing or Thursday morning some time. A big meeting is arranged to take place in the Methodist Church on Tuesday evening the 16th. Justice Riddell is the speaker of the evening. This is an exceptional opportunity to hear one of Canada‘s most consistent and best informed men. He speaks with a logic so convincing that there is but one conclusion. He analyzes and uses only those points that weigh up right. Don‘t let the opportunity pass without making an effort to hear him. The canvassing committee meet and will call the men together on Sunday afternoon. Four wards will be dividâ€" ed, one to each team of canvassers. Be on hand Sunday and ready to ofâ€" fer suggestions and assistance. Do your part to the limit. The committees areâ€" Canvassing: C. Lorne Fraser, â€" J. M. Peaten, W. Roy, J. . _Martris, R.
