sa. < THE SWEDISH PRESS. Torsdagen den 15 januar 1942 HY-GRADE ALL RED CROSS SUPPLIES ON CALL FOR DISASTER HERE ”All the resources of the Can-7&dian Red Cross Society would be placed at once at the disposal of the Pacific Coast, in the event of any disaster here," said Mr. W. J. Cairns, Toronto, assistant national Red Cross commissioner who has come to British Columbia for a fortnight, especially to discuss Red Cross and ARP co-operation. "Help would also be forthcoming immediately from the American Red Cross," he declared. Within two days of the declaration of war on Japan, the national Red Cross shipped to B. C. large quan-tities of supplies and blänkets, these to be sent to First Aid points throughout the province. Local merchants in vulnerable areas are being asked to stock extra supplies in preparation for emergen-cies. Operations of the Internation' Red Cross have been hampered because Japan did not sign, at the International Red Cross conven-tion of 1922, regulations govern-ing treatment of prisoners of war. "We still hope Japan will observe them," Mr. Cairns said. To date the only help rendered by the Canadian Red Cross Society to the Far Fast has been sending money to China, this sub-scribed by groups and individuals in Canada for this purpose.

Bonde använder bronsålders- ' smycke som brevpress Västerbottnisk fyndsensation _______ Vid grävningen för grund till en ladugård i Nysätra hittades för ångra år sedan en bälteplatta av brons. Den mätte en 20 centimeter i diameter och pryddes av snirklar och andra orna-men, men upphittaren brydde sig inte stort om fyndet; han anmälde dét inte, men använde det som en brevpress i sitt hem Nu har det emellertid förts till Umeå museum.
