How Organization Functions Each local organization In the district Is entitled to nominate one of its members to the general council of the fund and these, with the officers elected at the annual meeting, form the council responsible for the operation of the organization for the year, thus co-ordinating all branches of community activity In connection with war charities. The closing of the Big Missouri mine caused some changes to be made in the bylaws which provided for three Big Missouri members on the council. The meeting confirmed a decision of the out going cxecuUve that all men who had enlisted from Big Missouri would be treated by the Fund exactly on the same basis as those enlisting from Stewart. This annual meeting was held exactly three years to the day after the organization meeting when, on September 23, 1939, (thirteen days after Canada's de claration of war) a handful of local ladles met In the village municipal office and took the first official steps towards the forma tlon of the Fund. During those too great to list in detail. Major war charities which have1 received substantial money grants include the Red Cross (both Canadian and Russian). Canadian Legion War Services, Canadian War Charities. I.OD.E., Boots for Britain, Merchant Seamen, Chinese Relief, Lord Mayor's Air Raid Relief and many others. Christmas presents have been sent away every year to every enlisted man from the district whose address could be ascertained. Visiting military and naval men have been entertained as circumstances permitted. Salvaging has been con tributed to. Magazines and books havp been collected.
