As every one knows the Canadian Red Cross is making a drive to raise $9,000,000 to finance this warâ€" time work. We must "go over the top" on this campaign. The sacriâ€" fice of each individual is very small when compared to the good that will result from these contributions. By this time perhaps most of you have contributed, but if this is not the case, do not delav. From our limited knowledge of the Red Cross, it would appear that this great organization has and is accomplishing the very thing that our allied nations are fighting for toâ€"day. By this we mean that it is worldâ€"wide organization enâ€" dorsed by 65 nations. It knows no bounds of sex, race, religion or colour and is organized to do humanitarian work in the most efficient manner. The Red Cross is always at peace, as indicated by‘ the fact that it maintains communiâ€" eations and transportation between. belligerent countries, thus providâ€" ing a medium through which priâ€" coners of war can be reached and supplied with food and comforts. Hundreds of Canadians who were risoners of war during the Great ar claim they owe their lives to e constant supply of food, clothâ€" ing and other comforts which they eived through the Canadian Red Cross Society.

WM. E. GERRY, Advertising Mgr. Bonita Tea Rooms ENTERTAIN YOUR FRIENDS The editor of this paper has been given most generous and heartâ€"warming assistance by local friends in recording news of the town and district during the past few months. A continuance of that support and coâ€"operation is solicited in keeping Weston "on the map" and the news of activities of the various organizations of the town before the public. Seldom is it necessary to discard any news items submitted, and it is only with real and profound regret that it is found necessary to do so this week. In case this be misinterpreted, The Times and Guide hastens to add that all news items regarding events of interest in the communâ€" ity are weleomed. In fact, news copy sent in is of great assistance to an editor as he or she attempts to turn out a readable, newsy, inâ€" teresting paper. But news is, if properly written, a telling of events as they have ocâ€" curred, or the recording of visits, illnesses, births, marriages, deaths, etc. Personalities have no place in news columns, nor has the personal opinions of any writer any place in such columns. Editorial space is reserved for the expression of the paper‘s opinion on curâ€" rent events, whether they be local, national or international. Any news items which cast aspersions on any town residents can find their way to only one spotâ€"and that is not the columns of The Times and Guide. From time to time the editor of any paper receives news copy which he is unable to pubâ€" lish, because it deals with personalities and contains "wisecracks" about a person or perâ€" sons residing in the community. The editor of The Times and Guide is regretfully forced, this week, to consign two or three such items to the waste basket. The Red Cross is the invisible army, marching side by side with the troops into battle . . . the Red Cross is also the gentle helper of the sick, the unprotected, and the needy. Helr the Red Cross to keep the Flag of Mercy flying. Be ready with your donaâ€" tion, as generous a gift as you can, when the Weston convassers call on you at your home or place of business.
