IMPORTANT NOTICE to all holders of SLAUGHTER PERMITS and of LICENCES TO SLAUGHTER HOGS Because of the urgent need of securing the quantities of BACON and other PORK PRODUCTS necessary to meet the wartime re- quirements of the United Kingdom, and the consequent necessity of curtailing slaughter for domestic use in Canada, the following action has been taken under a new Order of THE BACON BOARD, concurred in by THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD. ON AND AFTER MARCH 1st, 1943 . . . At Canatian Red Cross Headquarters By Walter R. Legge Another in a series of articles written by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas. There is a large building in the heart of London in which a band of busy workers, many of them volun- teer, do their utmost to help alleviate the miseries caused by war. It is Canadian Red Cross headquar- ters. Last August the Canadian edi- tors went there and were shown some of the work in progress. These headquarters occupy five stories of a buidling loaned to the Red Cross by Lord Crichley. The offices overlook Berkeley Square, a spot made famous in song and drama, which would scarcely be recognized by those who knew it in peace time. The iron railing around the square has been made into munitions. This railing was a famous Georgian relic over three hundred years old. The grass has all been trampled down anc with Canadian patients in Canadian Army, and British and Scottish hos- pitals, see that they get needed sup- plies, shop for them, and sometimes even write letters for them. Visitors' reports, in detail, are sent weekly to Berkeley Square, where information is collated, and, when necessary, let- ters are written to next-of-kin in Canada. Handicrafts at all Canadian Gener- al Hospitals are supervised entirely by the Canadian Red Cross. Staffs at all hospitals furnish materials for rujf-making and leather work, and teach patients how to make the art- icles. The patients pay for the cost of the materials, and are allowed to make a small profit out of their handiwork. The Relief Department at Berkeley Square ships out on an average fifty thousand civilian relierf articles of clothing per week. The Canadian Junior Red Cross supports and has adopted eight resi- dential War Nurseries in England, and supplies clothing for the youthful inmates. Three more such Nurseries are shortly to be adopted. Less than one hundred years ago, the sufferings of wounded soldiers and prisoners were intensified by lack a vast territory to fill a wide rang* of needs. No wonder it is a busy spot. RUSSIAN RELIEF This week we are pleased to report that the district Canadian Aid to Russia Fund has gone over the $200 mark, a splendid achievement without the aid of canvassers. Flesehrton W. I. is undertaking to collect new and used clothing in this district and all the housewives are urged to act at once and give clothing to be sent to Russia. This week we report the following cash donations: Previously acknowledged . $189.50 Flesherton W. 1 10.00 Clifford Allen 2.00 Total $202.50 Sometimes we think being an ult- imate consumer is getting to be a bad habit. of. care and utter neglect.

Lady Willingdon's house on one corner of the square has suffered a direct hit. Inside the Rd Cross building, how- ever, everything is clean and well ordered and the work goes on with quiet efficiency. Crates of supplies are being unload, worries '**' 8orte( " li st(J d> and stored away in their proper places, or mad into shipments to fill requisitions. Few people realize the amount of work accomplished by the Red Cross, not only in quantity, but in variety. We saw them making up special parcels for prisoners f war, supplies for hospitals and for sick and wound- ed, articles for babies of men on act- ive service, replacements of articles lost by men who had been shot down, torpedoed or bombed, und many other urgent needs. It is possible in some cases, that the very lives of prisoners of war in enemy hands has depended upon the parcels supplied by the Red Cross. Each prisoner is allowed one parcel of food weekly. These parcels sup- plied by the Red Cross weigh appro* imately eleven pounds. In addition, the prisoners are allowed a quarterly parcel from the next-of-kin. They told us that parcels to prison- ers in Germany are getting through to them fairly well and that they are now getting- through to prisoners in Italy much better than they were previously. The Red Cross received many re- quests for special articles. Every effort is made to supply them if poss- ible and if they are allowed to be sent. We were shown one letter re- ceived from Flying Officr Bruce Daw- son Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Camptbell of Point.e Claire, Que., asking for elementary and advanced textbooks on Algebra and Trigonom- etry. This shows that many prison- era are anxious to put their enforced idleness to as good use as possible. Those at work in the Red Cross headquarters went to great pains to show us around and answer our ques- tions. One of them was Lady Elli- son, who is doing work in the prison- ers' department. She did similar work during the last war. While looking at the boxes of goods sent over from local Red Cross groups in Canada, we were told that soldiers have an aversion to mitts, and usually will not wear them. As a result those sent over from Canada have to be made into gloves The great need was stressed for turtle-neck sweaters, gloves, and sea men's socks. Last named are also used by airmen. On some shelves were more unusual items, such as maple sugar, and other supples made in Canada. Some supplies were being assembled to re- place kits lost by soldiers at Dieppe. A constant supply of comforts tr all services of the Canadian Forces is being delivered. Every week, on a regular delivery basis by Red Cross Transport, and thence through the usual channels of supply, thousands of woollen comforts are being issued to the troops. Every week, invalid delicacies, hospital supplies, cigar- fittes, chewing gum, games, pipes, etc., ^re heng sent to General Hos- ptals, Casualty Clearing Stations, Field Ambulances, nnd to R.A.F. and civilian hospitals where Canadian pa- tients may he.

Thence in turn they are spread over Sometimes we think being an unti- mate consumer is getting to be a bad habit.
