It was probably some such thouiihts that made the C.C.F members of the provincial Letrisla-turc spectacular, bringine down upon themselves the silent imprecations of practically the whole community. There is one thing about war. It makes people think about peace. It stirs them as nothing else could. ' CHAMBERLAIN EXONERATED . . Whethev Prime Minister Chamberlain was right orj wrong at Munich we do not know and it matters little; The thought occurs, however, that in view of the attitude, of a few oeople. it is a good thing he did not declare war at th?t Vmp.

MUUEF National Red Cross War Drive FOR $3,000,000 HOW Is this money to be spent? The eharter of the Canadian Red Cmm Society sets out the oDjects of this great cause as follows: "In tinjfj of peace or wr to carry on and auiit In work for tb improemrnt of health, the pretention of dlae and' the mitigation of suffering throughout the world," Last year the sum of 1,000.000.00 was collected to finance the peace-time work of the Society. Today, because of the greater needs of war, three times that amount must be raised. Peacetime activiUes cannot be neglected and the programme of war relief must be initiated at once. Consideration of the many aspects of Red Cross work In 1914-1918 gives some indication of the programme that will have to be undertaken In the present war. HOSPITALS AND NURSES Hospitals must be built and equipped In England and trance to care for the Canadian sick and wounded. Dunng the last war the Canadian Red Crow built and equipped (wholly or in part) hospitals at Taplow. Bushey Park, Ramsgate. Bexhill and Buxton in England; built and equipped one of the largest military hospitals in France; and established a depot in Boulogne for Canadian hospitals. AMBULANCES From 1914 to 1918 the Canadian Red Cross provided scores ambulances to convey the sick and wounded in trance and England. MOTOR LORRIES The Canadian Red. Cross in France maintained a service, of motor lorries to ensure the conveyance of Ited Cross supplies with the greatest powiible dispatch wherever needed. THE NEED fS URGENT F A. MacCALLUMj President Or. If. l. A. TARR, First Vice-President Mrs. J, n. OiriSO.V, Second Vice-President SURGICAL SUPPLIES AND MEOIClNfl X-Ray equipment, surrtral apparatus, supplW and dressings must be purchased almost immediately. Lhiring the last war, 147,270 cases of supplies were sent to hospital units in England, in addition to supplies for hospitals in France. 200 was contributed to equip a ward in the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital at Etaples in France. FOOD AND COMFORTS Again the Red Cross wish to be able to send socks, cigarettes and other comforts to the front. During the last war. 341.325 cases cf supplies were sent overseas. The Society sent sixty pound of food per month to every Canadian prisoner of war in addition to tobacco, medical supplies, clothing and books. INFORMATION BUREAU The Information Bureau set up at the London office rendered personal services to thousands of soldiers. Hospital viiitors supplied Csnsdian paUenU with extra comforts and entertainments and reported their progress to rela-Uves at home, and their reds to the Society. The Enquiry Department constantly searched for news of "missing1' men to relieve the suspense of distant relatives. A corps of voluntary workers will make a canvass of as many donors as possible during this drive. If one of these workers falls to get In touch with you, send In your contribution to your local Red Cross Branch. Give big-heartedly.
