It is hardly necessary to elaborate a t length on the work of the Red Cross Society. The G reat War and all th a t th e ' Society did to alleviate the sufferings of 'the wounded and prisoners, also of the civilian population in the war zones, is still too fresh in the memories of this generation. But i t mkht be relevant to point out .that to our personal knowledge inone German prison camp a t least the British officers and men confined there depended entirely for any food-they re­ ceived on Red Cross parcels. A number of our young men have already joined the Canadian Force to be sent overseas, and more will go before the cease-fire is sounded, of whom some may suffer the misfortune of being taken prisoner. And it is too much to expect th a t the Nazis will be any more . humane than the Kaiser and his m inions,; The Vanebuver Welfare Federation with i ts forty-seven social welfare agencies, including the branch here, is active twelve months in the year right in our midst, where its good work and the needs which make th a t work imperative are plain to all. While the w ar will undoubtedly result in time in a certain lessening of unemployment, the depression has been ~tWwidesprea^"aiid-of-too-"long-standing-for-7the-new-condi-- tions set up by the present world conflict to make any appreci­ able difference. There are those, some of theni-in th is muni­ cipality, who through no. fault of their own will find them­ selves in evil case w ithout the help of the Vancouver Welfare Federation. . ' • - ' - ' We bespeak, therefore, th a t a t least , a courteous and a sympathetic reception be accorded by our residents to the two hundred men and women, who have volunteered to canvas the municipality in connection with the War Chest Campaign. Apart from the fact th a t tiiey are giving their services free of any, remuneration, i t is never exactly pleasant to ask for gifts of any kind, even for somebody .else. Not all, of course, are ima position to. give. For the rest, it is to be hoped' th a t they will dig deep into the ir pockets, realizing, as they must,- -that in so doirig they are relieving"much deep suffering not only here, but also in the w ar zones overseas. passengers and pedoslrians Dve home of Mrs. B.
